Description

What is my purpose in life? What is a good life? Why is there so much wrong with our world? What can I do to help make it right? These are some of the big questions that everyone must answer. And any lasting change in our lives will start with a change to one or more of our answers to these questions. Jesus changed the life of every person he met in the Gospels, through powerful experiences and words that led them to unexpected and transforming answers to their big questions. These conversations can still address our questions and doubts today. Originally published as an eSeries, Encounters with Jesus focuses on several of these meetings--including with a skeptical student, a religious insider, an outcast, even Jesus' mother--and shows how the central events in Jesus' life provide ways for us to encounter him again or for the first time.--From publisher description.… (more)

This was an excellent book. Loved how he described the different encounters with Jesus and what they really meant. One of my favorite books. Read it twice.

Encounters with Jesus: Unexpected Answers to Life's Biggest Questions is another excellent apologetic work by Timothy Keller. Dr. Keller covers the book of John, with additional detail from the other gospels, as he reviews peoples' encounters with Jesus and what that says about Jesus and what that

means for us. Dr. Keller has a very open and honest approach in dealing with doubts and skepticism. He wants us to doubt our doubts and examine what it would mean if the claims by Jesus are true.

I recommend this book for anyone, but especially for those with doubts and questions about Christianity.
