About this listen

An intelligent, intellectually rigorous examination of why the Christian faith still makes sense in an age of scepticism.

As the pastor of an inner-city church in New York City, Timothy Keller has compiled a list of the most frequently voiced doubts sceptics bring to his church as well as the most important reasons for faith.

In The Reason for God, he addresses each doubt and explains each reason. Keller uses literature, philosophy, real-life conversations, and reasoning to explain how faith in a Christian God is a soundly rational belief held by thoughtful people of intellectual integrity with deep compassion for those who truly want to know the truth.

As a third generation Christian I have found myself somewhat lost in all the jargon and complexities of differing views. Coming across this book has given me much food for thought and I am grateful. I can now move forward and seek God with a fresh perspective.

Outstanding insights

I finished this book in a breeze. it's one of those audiobooks which is narrated by the author so it sounds exactly the way it was intended, a calm and honest voice. I think most people would enjoy this book, some might find it challenging as in the book might confront your assumptions, then again so does every good text. And I think all people would learn something or more from it. It's not difficult to get into and understand, it's designed for easy reading, (or in this case listening). it's a 4/5 for story because it's not really a story, yet contains elements of the story of God and like most non fiction books contains short stories or parables to convey a point. It's well worth listening to this one, I give my recommendation

intellectually stimulating yet not too difficult

Timothy Keller explains succinctly the reason for God; he covers many subjects that will help people have a balanced and a clear understanding that nothing makes sense without God.
I certainly recommend this book to seekers and to those who would like to explain the reason God to sceptics it would be a helpful handbook .

Easy to understand

Not an easy listen/read. Academic and a bit repetitive in his approach to peoples beliefs.
