The Resurrection accounts of Jesus in the Gospels are the most dramatic and impactful stories ever told. One similarity unites each testimony - that none of his most loyal and steadfast followers could "see" it was him, back from the dead. The reason for this is at the very foundation of the Christian faith.

What can the call to discipleship, the adherence to the word of Jesus, mean today to the businessman, the soldier, the laborer, or the aristocrat? What did Jesus mean to say to us? What is his will for us today? Drawing on the Sermon on the Mount, Dietrich Bonhoeffer answers these timeless questions by providing a seminal reading of the dichotomy between "cheap grace" and "costly grace."

In The Prodigal Prophet, pastor and New York Times best-selling author Timothy Keller reveals the hidden depths within the book of Jonah. Keller makes the case that Jonah was one of the worst prophets in the entire Bible.

A lifelong pursuit of knowing God should embody the Christian's existence. According to eminent theologian J.I. Packer, however, Christians have become enchanted by modern skepticism and have joined the "gigantic conspiracy of misdirection" by failing to put first things first. Knowing God aims to redirect our attention to the simple, deep truth that to know God is to love His Word.

Publisher's Summary
New York Times bestselling author Timothy Keller - whose books have sold millions of copies to both religious and secular readers - explores one of the most difficult questions we must answer in our lives: Why is there pain and suffering?
Walking with God through Pain and Suffering is the definitive Christian book on why bad things happen and how we should respond to them. The question of why there is pain and suffering in the world has confounded every generation; yet there has not been a major book from a Christian perspective exploring why they exist for many years.
The two classics in this area are When Bad Things Happen to Good People by Rabbi Harold S. Kushner, which was published more than thirty years ago, and C. S. Lewis’s The Problem of Pain, published more than seventy years ago. The great secular book on the subject, Elisabeth Ku¨bler-Ross’s On Death and Dying, was first published in 1969. It’s time for a new understanding and perspective, and who better to tackle this complex subject than Timothy Keller?
As the pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Manhattan, Timothy Keller is known for the unique insights he shares, and his series of books has guided countless readers in their spiritual journeys. Walking with God through Pain and Suffering will bring a much-needed, fresh viewpoint on this important issue.

Extremely insightful and applicable!!!
I recently lost my son to an aggressive and inoperable brain tumor. He was 12. This book validated a lot of my thoughts and feelings I had about God. It, also, made me think of different aspects of pain and suffering I would not have otherwise known had it not read the book.
Part 1 of the book was a bit hard to digest due to the higher level of writing. But I thoroughly enjoyed Parts 2&3. I will definitely be reading again.

Best book on suffering g I've ever read
Keller deals with almost every angle when it comes to the truth of suffering. He discusses both the personal and philosophical ideas in an unashamed and in afraid way dealing with the big questions that all suffers face. He doesn't back down from the sticky stuff and answers each in a satisfactory way.
Keller also does a great job at showing the historical views of suffering being nuanced enough to show all the views of suffering from scripture. This isn't a one size fits all type if advice. In fact Keller states clearly that there are many Tyler's of suffering and each must be dealt with differently.
However, my favorite part was the stories of real people at the end of each chapter. Hearing how they dealt with suffering was incredibly inspirational.

LIFESAVING!
My wife dies from ALS on 2/15/18, and it has been very difficult to live without her here. We are Christian's and have our hope in Jesus. However, Steph was my soulmate and I miss her more than I can express. This book reminded me of truths I have known, but also gave me much to learn. I have more hope and peace than I did before and an increased love for Jesus since reading this book.

Just the book for this topic
If you could sum up Walking with God through Pain and Suffering in three words, what would they be?
THE most helpful
What other book might you compare Walking with God through Pain and Suffering to and why?
No comparison!
What about Lloyd James’s performance did you like?
His gracious, calm, tender, compassionate narration
What’s an idea from the book that you will remember?
The reminder to heed the full counsel of Scripture.
Any additional comments?
I would say this is THE book for those of us who have had great tragedy and suffering we thought we could not live with. Timothy Keller has spared himself no hard study in preparing a work that biblically and thoroughly treats this difficult topic. Do not expect a lite read. Bring your brain and engage. It is read with compassion and tenderness. I cannot thank Dr. Keller enough for his labor to produce this work. For this follower of Jesus, it has made all this difference.

An excellent prompt to suffer faithfully!
I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer at the age of 25. The profound loneliness and isolation that a near-terminal diagnosis brings to young life is weighty beyond comparison. But greater than the weight of suffering is God and his self-disclosure through Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection. Dr. Keller’s book has pointed me to the Triune God, and promoted me to tether the story of my suffering and pain to the story of Scripture, and in our created role as worshippers. When understood this way, suffering and cancer and pain, albeit unpleasant, become profoundly and undeniably meaningful, and the felt experience of one’s life becomes, in God’s mercy, much sweeter and more Christ-exhaling. I glad recommend this book to any sufferers.

A definite "must read" but with some caveats
As a decades-old Christian who has experienced the sudden, unexpected death of a younger spouse, I think there are wonderful insights and a definite "must read" for those on a path to healing. That being said, I have a few comments to future readers: 1 - when the author experiences true loss (not thyroid cancer), he will revise this book to make it more first-person and with more empathy; In the meantime, he does a great job with other people's stories of loss; 2 - I differ greatly to his Calvinistic view of the sovereignty of God. His view is that God in involved in every micro-detail of what happens. This I find disparages the character of God and makes Him an "unindicted co-conspirator" to the individual evils that befall his people. That heaps spiritual abuse on top of people who are already hurting. Instead, God's sovereignty should be that - whatever God chooses to do, no one can stop, but that God also allows evil and accidents to happen. Then, Romans 8:28 should be interpreted that in whatever happens to us, God is able to make something good out of it if we let Him. 3 - Timothy Keller treats the Book of Proverbs as they though they are always right in every case. I beg to differ. I'd say that Proverbs are - generally speaking - wise words that come to pass, but not in each and every case. For example, a soft answer does not always turn away wrath, but generally speaking it's a good rule to follow. So, as long as the reader knows these items up front and can decide for themselves, I think this is a very good book.

Learning to suffer
It is reassuring to know that suffering is useful and universal.
Thank you Timothy Keller for your teachings.
