Making Sense of God: An Invitation to the Sceptical Hardcover – 22 Sept. 2016

Great thought provoking book - takes a while to read as it touches on so many areas of person, thinking and motivation.

Bought for my son who said it was well written and a compelling read.

I came about this book when I heard that Tim Keller wrote a 'sequel' after 'The Reason for God', a book I've read couple of times and I though it was brilliant.My feeling is that 'Making Sense of God' goes a step backwards and addresses questions and dilemas for readers whom the idea of God is distant and perhaps have not though much about it and dismissed the idea of God.What I like from this book is:- how clear and 'concise' the arguments are.- large amounts of resources and quotes from thinkers and scholars.- it generally starts with the argument against.I'll very much recommend it to anyone really.

Loved the book. Thought it easily readable. Not too much deep theology. Restored my commitment to continue believing and praying. The author is a very likeable individual and happy in his way of life. I would recommend the book to ‘ doubting Thomases’ everywhere.

Every age needs to reinterpret God and the Christian message for living generations. The secularists and humanists in modern society assume we are at the highest level of development by freeing ourselves from the belief in God.This book questions all those secular assumptions and sheds new light of the need for religion and Christianity in modern life.Personally, I think it does an excellent job and is essential reading, especially if you were convinced by Richard Dawkins' book "The God Delusion".Scientists think they have all the answers but in fact, they know nothing of your individual human needs. This book examines the really important questions that matter to human individuals and that underpin our society.

Possibly Keller's best book.So enjoyed reading this and sharing quotes on social media to sceptical friends, it caused a few conversations.This has the usual gracious tone from Tim Keller. I always love his ability to build his case using a wide array of sources, (the footnotes alone take up 30% of the book and could provide a years reading on their own!)He argues that secular humanism is also based on certain presuppositions that cannot be proved. There are faith based beliefs which cannot be scientific proved. He then seeks to convey that theistic belief makes more sense of the world in terms of morality, identity, purpose/meaning and beauty than secular humanism does.The final section of the book argues for the validity of the person and works of Jesus in particular.Will it convince a committed atheist, probably not, I dont think any book alone will do that. Should it raise questions, yes. Should it make us all think carefully, yes definitely.A must read, for Christians to think more carefully about our atheist and agnostic peers, our own ideas and for the bibliography !!

Very in depth book which allows the reader to make their own mind up based on the facts. A must read for everyone who is seeking the truth.

really great book. I have enjoyed all of it, and its written for anyone to read. Keller is so knowledgeable and well read and it is very apparent in his writing.

Keller achieves something in this book that many apologetic works struggle to accomplish—it’s one you can confidently recommend to a skeptic. He approaches opposing viewpoints with great respect, thoughtfully presenting alternative explanations before demonstrating why Christianity offers the most reasonable conclusion. I highly recommend it to believer and skeptic!

Timothy Keller in his usual fashion brings in many different facets of life and thought to address issues of faith and challenge people to look again at what they believe about God, Jesus, and humanity.

O livro é de uma profundidade intelectual muito grande, enquanto se mantém fácil de ler. É honesto quanto aos pontos levantados e as limitações nos raciocínios. Acredito que um cético honesto terá dificuldade em se manter na mesma posição após ler esse livro.

This book is soooo worth reading!

Just found this a bit to hard to understand at times but I do love Timothy keller
