I recently read The Reason for God by Timothy Keller.  Keller is the pastor of the Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City.  Redeemer has about 6,000 regular attendees and is planting churches in large cities throughout the world.

This is one of the best books I have read in a long time.  It is a book I would give to a spiritual skeptic or to an established Christian student.  The book addresses the frequent questions that skeptics, and even strong believers, have about religion.  To the skeptic he explains how the belief in the Christian God of the Bible is a rational and reasoned one.  To the believer he gives a concise, yet well-researched platform on which to stand their ground against a skeptical audience.

Keller addresses such dominant questions like ‘How could a good God allow suffering?’; ‘How can a loving God send people to Hell?’; ‘Why have so many wars been fought in the name of God?’; and many more.

1 Peter 3:15 tells us to be able to give a reasonable answer to a reasonable question.  This book is helpful in doing just that!
