Wish every pastor read this book!

Revisado: 10-06-23

Larry Crabb revealed amazing truths lovingly and biblically. I pray pastors and specifically professors of spiritual growth in Seminars can read at least the last chapter. And intrigued by it, read all the author’s books. Really.
We need vulnerability and confession in our prayer gatherings.

A must listen!

Revisado: 09-09-23

This book is for anyone: Christians who feel the need to fight for truthful love, or the complacent ones (it will shake you!); non-Christians or atheists who think (sometimes rightfully so) that we are a religion of racist bigots; and, finally, all those who enjoy a well-written book with a purpose.
Thank you, Dr. McLaughlin! This book is an answer to my prayers!

Outstanding book: Carefully historic, deeply doctrinal!

Revisado: 09-07-23

Listening to this audiobook book gave me an even greater sense of who Tim Keller was. I have heard and re-heard all available sermons on the Gospel in Life podcast and read nearly all of his books. Although most highlighted message points were familiar, the unknown facts about Keller’s family and history added a lot. The author has magisterially woven all facts and notes into Tim’s theology. Also, there’s nothing mawkish about his life. Tim is not presented with an aura of holiness as some biographers tend to paint the object of their research.One cannot avoid the sense of being taught by Timothy Keller himself. And it is all clearly made to glorify God,

I cannot believe I was at Beeson until last month and never met Professor Hansen! I would have been bugging him to let me help in anything I could on this project.
Nevertheless, the surprise of this great book was certainly something God prepared for me.

The bonus sermons at the end are the cherry on top of this fabulous dessert. No spoiler alert here. Please check them!

A MUST-HEAR SEMON TO ALL!

Revisado: 11-16-22

If you are wondering if predestination is a “Godly” thing, or if you are on the other side of the spectrum, feeling you’ve attained your salvation, or if you are in any place between these two understandings, this sermon is for you.
As usual, Tim Keller will bring insights from Theologians and secular people to illustrate how important the understanding of grace is for our spiritual life.
He nailed it! Praises to God!

I LOVE CHUCK MISSLER, but this particular study is too repetitive

Revisado: 06-23-22

Dr. Missler has great insights and his knowledge of jewish traditions together with his Hebrew and Greek skills always make his audiobooks a delight to those who want to know more from the Word. However, in this particular study, he repeats himself too much. There were instances I already knew the comment he would make.
Nevertheless, if you have some audiobook credits, listen to it!
There is always something to learn.

Let's all be the right kind of fool!

Revisado: 12-16-21

I have been thinking about people's reaction to events and it amazes me how many foolish ones I see nowadays. Not by coincidence (not a "kosher" word would say some rabbis), I bumped into this amazing sermon, so appropriate also for this season.
Beginning with the account of the wise men who visited Jesus at his birth, Dr Keller explains not wisdom, but its antonym - foolishness -- like I have never heard before. How astonishing is it that the King, Son-of-God-baby had to be born in a manger? So weak, so poor, so helpless!
The beautiful excerpt of literature from Flannery O'Connor was a special treat to me.
Strangely (or not), you WILL realize you are a fool, and one of the three bad kinds of fool he describes.
Without coming up with a spoiler, it is really hard to review the book. But I can certainly assure Christian parents of smaller kids: you will not regret having heard this sermon.
And for those who are not parents, as Dr. Keller says: contrary to Jesus, we are not perfect "and therefore we need parenting! We need parenting from God, we need parenting from our parents. That's the reason why we need parenting from our friends all our lives, as it were." Well, there goes a spoiler...

O leitor não respeita a pontuação (:-(

Revisado: 09-12-21

Infelizmente, essa parece ser a única versão em áudio da BÍBLIA ALMEIDA REVISTA E ATUALIZADA. O leitor não obedece a pontuação: ênfases, pausas são quase que totalmente aleatórias. Tem-se a impressão de que ele lê sem prestar atenção no que lê. Parece estar atento somente à entonação de sua voz e torna a leitura tediosa e inexpressiva. Uma lástima!
