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 ""Keller will be remembered as a pioneer of the new urban Christians."" —Christianity Today magazine ""I thank God for him."" —Billy Graham
