Praise for Timothy Keller and The Prodigal God
"Thrilling . . . Brilliant. Keller elegantly explains the goodness
of God, redefining sin, lostness, grace, and salvation."
—HeartsandMinds.com
"An amazing, thought-provoking, illuminating work."
—Examiner.com
"The insights Tim Keller has about the two individuals in the
story, and about the heart of God who loves them both, wrecked me
afresh. Tim's thoughts deserve a hearing worldwide." —Bill Hybels,
founding and senior pastor, Willow Creek Community Church
"Explain, explode, expose, explore—all of these Jesus did by
telling the parable of the prodigal son. In this book, Timothy
Keller shows us something of how this story actually reveals the
heart of God, and, if we read it carefully, our own hearts. This
brief exposition is unsettling and surprisingly satisfying. Like
seeing something as your own home, or your own self, with new eyes.
Enjoy and profit." —Mark Dever, senior pastor, Capitol Hill Baptist
Church, Washington, D.C.
"When it comes to the gospel of Jesus Christ, Timothy Keller is
simply brilliant." —Mark Driscoll, pastor, Mars Hill Church and
president, Acts 29 Church Planting Network

Christians." —Christianity Today magazine
"I thank God for him." —Billy Graham
