The America today is one of many isms. We seem to live in an age of skepticism and secularism, and are often combating radicalisms of ideology and religion. Our society places such faith in empirical reason, historical progress, and heartfelt emotion that it’s easy to wonder: Why should anyone believe in Christianity? What role can faith and religion play in our modern lives? In this thoughtful and inspiring new book, MAKING SENSE OF GOD: An Invitation to the Skeptical (Viking; On Sale Date: September 20, 2016; ISBN: 978-0-525-95415-6; $27.00) pastor and New York Times bestselling author Timothy Keller invites skeptics to consider that Christianity is more relevant now than ever. As human beings, we cannot live without meaning, satisfaction, freedom, identity, justice, and hope. Christianity provides us with unsurpassed resources to meet these needs.

Keller, the founder of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City, is renowned for his insightful, accessible, and erudite sermons, which have inspired millions in their Christian life and have been instrumental in bringing many to faith. Dr. Keller’s books have sold more than two million copies, and his insights into how to translate faith for others are life-changing and essential for Christians everywhere. Written for both the ardent believer and the skeptic, MAKING SENSE OF GOD shines a light on the profound value and importance of Christianity in our lives.
