Another Reason to Like Tim Keller
Posted by TulipGirl | Under Christianity and the Church, My Ever-lovin' Husband Saturday Feb 7, 2009Hubby was reading The Reason for God in the kitchen and keeping me company the other night, while I was cooking a new recipe, Ethiopian Vegetable Bowl. He looked up and said, “Listen to this. . .”
My wife, Kathy, never gets footnoted, yet she is the main author of the faith and thought of this author. She put me on to Lewis, to Edwards and Reformed theology, and to the importance of prayer, social justice, and the city. When you are that foundational to someone’s world- and life- view, you get mentioned in the acknowledgments, but not in the footnotes. The main reason I’m putting this book into print is because she likes it.
*mush, mush*
I’m reading The Reason for God right now and loving it. But now I love it even more. :)
Ah – the obsession continues! I love it. (guess I should read the book and not just listen to the book on cd)
How incredibly sweet!
A great book, too. Bravo to Keller for writing it…and also to his muse!
Abbie, I really like getting a glimpse of the spiritual/intellectual interaction between spouses. And that Hubby read it to me? Made me feel loved.
Carole, you might like the sermons / talks Keller has on the same topics as the book available as MP3 downloads.
Alice, we’re using the book as a basis for discussion / study during Christian Ed at church. This past week we were on chapter 11 — Religion and the Gospel. I thought, “If I can just help my children grasp theses ideas. . . understand them in their hearts. . .”
That’s really sweet.
