Even people who are not professing Christians think they are familiar with the story of the Nativity. Every Christmas, displays of Jesus resting in a manger populate lawns and churchyards, and songs about shepherds and angels fill the air.

Timothy Keller takes listeners on an illuminating journey into the surprising background of the Nativity.

In this book, Jake Meador diagnoses our society's decline as the failure of a particular story we've told about ourselves: the story of modern liberalism. He shows us how that story has led to our collective loss of meaning, wonder, and good work, and then recovers each of these by grounding them in a different story - a story rooted in the deep tradition of the Christian faith.

Es ist eine Hoffnung auf Veränderung in unserem Leben und in unserer Gesellschaft - eine Hoffnung, die Christen in jeder Hinsicht verändert und jeden Aspekt unseres Lebens prägt.

Tim Keller wendet in seiner unnachahmlichen Art biblische Weisheit auf unser Leben an und gibt inspirierende Antworten auf die zentralen Fragen.

Warum gibt es so viel Schmerz und Leid in der Welt? Wie können wir mit Leid, das uns persönlich trifft, umgehen, sodass wir daran nicht zerbrechen, sondern wachsen? Unzählige Bücher sind geschrieben worden, um sich diesem Problem philosophisch und intellektuell zu nähern. Ebenso zahllos sind die Bücher und Filme, die uns persönliche Geschichten über das Leid erzählen. Timothy Keller bindet beide Ebenen zusammen - und findet die Antwort in dem, was die Bibel zum Leid zu sagen hat.

Unsere moderne Kultur will uns glauben machen, dass es bei der Ehe vor allem darum geht, dass man verliebt ist und dass man "den Passenden" gefunden hat. Und aus "bis dass der Tod uns scheidet" ist geworden: "Solange meine Bedürfnisse befriedigt werden." Solange wir nicht fähig sind, die Ehe durch die Brille der Bibel zu betrachten und nicht durch die engen Sehschlitze unserer Kultur, werden wir nicht in der Lage sein, fundierte Entscheidungen über unsere eigene eheliche Zukunft zu treffen.
