Dr. Keller, please know that God has used you in a mighty way in my life. Dead Christianity is a horrible curse that I lived for nearly 50 years. Not anymore. The Holy Spirit has broken through, an incredible renewal is taking place in me, and your preaching on the Gospel in Life podcast has been...fundamental, instrumental, essential, I don't have a better word. Sir, I am eternally grateful for your ministry. I pray for your healing and look forward to shaking your hand in eternity one day. And I'm glad you're married to a strong woman who shows the way to Jesus (as am I). Thank you Tim, God bless you.

I could have written this same comment- but not as well. Yes he has also changed my life.

We need more Tim WITH Kathy! Great team!

We're all praying you get better. Stay strong Mr. Keller.

Well said . Greetings from Sweden .

I've learned more from Tim Keller than any other minister of The Gospel. Great, insightful man of God. Look forward to reading some of his recommended books.

Along with prayers for your continuing care, I had to share how much I enjoy the banter the two of you shared. Instead of a calloused recording I felt more like I was sipping my coffee at the opposite side of the table facing you both. GOD is Good; All the Time!

If you do a vido like this and talk about books for 5 hours, I'll watch AND read EVERYTHING! Thanks Dr. Tim. You've influenced this South African for more than 10 years now.

Tim kellers sermons really helped me develop in my personal work with God and to develop a deeper understanding of the gospel in a practical way. I am eternally grateful to God for what he is doing in the life of Tim and his wife Kathy! You Rock!!

So happy to see you. Praying for you!

Beautiful couple. My heart goes out to Kathy. We will all miss Tim so very much.

I am so grateful for a friend that recommended some of Tim’s teachings. Somewhere I had heard or seen someone questioning Tim and I felt uneasy about listening even though I had enjoyed his books in the past. My friend spoke truth to those lies. Immediately Tim’s teachings were a blessing. I’m so grateful that my friend encouraged my to listen and now to be able to stand in prayer with those who are mourning Tim’s passing. It’s so good to see Tim and Kathy together. He lovingly mentions Kathy when he preaches and it warms my heart to see them.

My teacher- my mentor. Thank you Pastor for your faithfulness.

I love the intellectual dynamic between you!Kathy surely is your beloved foil Tim. What a gift you both are. Thank you.

After shipwrecking my faith 30 years ago I find myself in the ark of safety again and in the company of folks like the Keller’s , NT WRIGHT, RC Sproul --Gods gifts to heal and grow in grace revealed through the Body of Christ .

Thank you for this video. Keller has been such a blessing to me, and I really appreciate getting his recommendations for reading, especially in an age where it’s hard to know what is worth the effort. More of this please!

This is wonderful. The book recommendations are great, but the interaction between the two of you is special! Praying for you guys...

How wonderful to see you both and thank you so much for the recommended reading list. God speed, ever so grateful for your teachings, herzliche Grüße aus Deutschland

Thank you Tim and Kathy for all the amazing, helpful content that you produce and put out. I’ve found all your content incredibly helpful for my faith!

Absolutely a generous insight into this amazing duo..

The finest from the finest. God bless you and your ministry, Tim and Kathy. From Brasil 🇧🇷🇧🇷

I only recently discovered Dr Keller, and I even have one of his books in my growing reading pile! Thanks for the simple goal-setting of five hours a week. Praying for you Kathy during this time. John 16:33 ESV "I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”

You changed my life Tim, like no other man aside from our friend Lewis and Jesus himself. I’m as excited as I am daunted about reading all of these. I’m not gonna try to put into words what you have done for me and my little youth group ministry. Let me sum it up by saying that you have helped and touched more hearts than you could possibly know. I can say without embellishment that I would have turned from my relationship with the lord without accidentally discovering Lewis and I would have lost my way from there again without your calm and steady instructions. Thank you Sir. As a side note, I just watched Princess Bride tonight for the seven thousandth time and I thought about you every time I chuckled. Thank you Tim and Kathy. I owe you both a debt I could never repay. Inconceivable!! 😋😘

So wonderful. Inspired to read more. God bless you Tim and Kathy.

You are truly an inspiration to all who watch and read your books. You have taught me how to have a more intimate relationship with our Heavenly Father. I have been blessed to gone to Redeemer when you were the Pastor (Minister) there. What a tremendous privilege. I learned so much from both you and Kathy. Questions and Answers was one of my favorite parts of your Sermons. God has truly blessed you and will continue to bless both you and Kathy. I am so happy to see you in this platform and will continue to watch. Warm thoughts I send your way Raquel 🙋🏻‍♀️🙏📖🙌🌄

Thank you for sharing Tim & Kathy, btw: you look great Tim, God richly bless you and your family.

I love you guys. Your ministry has been so very important and used by God in my life. I'm praying for both of your health and well-being and ministry on into the future. ❤

Lots of love for you both. Thank you guys🙏

Wonderful video with very helpful reading resources and insights. I would love to see a video where Tim Keller breaks down his reading strategies given he's read so many books across various different disciplines. God bless.

I have been dreaming about this video for a long time... Thanks and greetings from Spain! God bless you.

Really useful thank you!! Very touching also, remembering a man of great faith who will be very much missed having had such a positive impact.

I love the dynamic between you two. ❤️

I’m going to miss this man and what he brought to my life.

Dr Keller, Thanks for insightful sharing. I've learned a lot through your sermons since ten years ago. Glory be to God that your sermons always inspires me in fresh ways as the Holy Spirit speaks through you in my bible studies. Cheers from Malaysia~

I'd love to hear you run down all time favorites! You're my favorite author!

Thank you for your suggestions & comments re; worthwhile reading 😊 I also appreciated your advice on how to read that much material. God bless you both. 🙏

Would love a tour of those bookshelves!

Thank you!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Thanks so much for sharing, and thank you for the reminder for those of us with young families. Same with pro athletes. We all want to copy their regimen, but God has given us other tasks that require that time, money, and attention. Praying for you both! My dad was recently diagnosed with cancer as well, albeit not the same as yours. Thank you, Tim and Kathy, for all you do for the Body.

Love you two!

Love reading. So fascinating how one can read that much. Does any ferocious reader want to share any insights to efficient read?

Thank you for sharing such a valuable list and encouraging us to read. What would be a good site to purchase these books? When you read, do you jot down/highlight some ideas that spoke to you?

Thank you both for that. This was very encouraging to me who is a slow reader in English. Are your books translated in French? God bless you.

Miss him already. I see Spurgeon's two volume autobiography on the shelf behind his right shoulder. One of my all time favorites!

You guys are the cutest nerds ever!!💕💕

A timely reminder as we begin Eastertide to take up something new. Admittedly my reading intake has drastically declined the past decade, due in no small part to my increased intake of entertainment/video etc. || Regarding the aforementioned books, there was a notable absence of fiction. Why so?

Great stuff. Always such a pleasure watching you two. Seems you forgot a few of the very best stuff, though - at least when it comes to apologetics: C.S. Lewis? Frank Turek? Timothy Keller?? :)

Haha I agree :) however he did mention that this is only the books he recommends that he read this past 2 years, not his ultimate list. On his website you can find his ultimate recommendation list where it has every book he recommends and includes those big hitters ☺️

Still trying to get through Kellers books.

"I think it's to die for." :D Ack! That made me smile! "I shudder to correct you." I just can't. You two are the cutest. Honestly. Thank you for caring so deeply and helping so many. Thank you for your humility, Dr. Keller. We are the better for your help, care, and obedience.

I would love to know what fiction you both have been reading as well!

"BUT READING IS WHAT REALLLY CHANGES YOU" - Tim Keller

Appreciated the news on up-to-date material that we should consider. I make one observation: that never before do we so have much material to read, and yet so little time to reflect. (A remark from the head of the US Library of Congress). Perhaps instead of reading rapidly "at 200 words a minute", we should take just one idea that strikes us, write it down and ruminate about it for the rest of the day: questioning how it applies to us, or whether Scripture backs it. We can have a plethora of opinions, but few Christians committed to well thought out and Spirit-led convictions, and fewer still who put them into practice. While modern life may expose us to dozens of great thinkers at the turn of a page or flick of a switch, we still need to commune with our souls and determine what God's Truth should look like inside us and how we should 'work it out' as part of our growth in Grace . It is not the breadth of knowledge that marks the man, but the depth of even the simplest of pure convictions that lay etched upon his character.

You can so see the Keller's are a precious married couple.

Your self-deprecation, at the 18:15 mark, made me laugh out loud.

Hello, Pastor Keller, do you have any good reads for the Biblical history and culture of Israel? Thanks.

Where can I find link for the list of books?

One good book might be "What is the Gospel". And that it begins at creation (and not evolution) - you might have forgotten that Mr K?

Tim Keller = Christian Professor X

did He have time to read the bible

Tim tends to treat racialization as a neutral thing when discussing race, but there are good resources out there too on why it's not.

All we need is the bible and the Holy Spirit

Although I 100% agree the Bible is the ONLY book you need with guidance from the Holy Sprirt, there is nothing wrong with reading truthful, positive, and encouraging books from human authors who love the Lord Jesus Christ.

Hahaha Mrs Keller is in charge 🤣 😂 😆. Tim your tone is soft and gentle but your wife keeps cutting you off and is clearly exercising authority over you. Shame on you

Tim Keller should be avoided at all cost even if he has been used by God and there has been good outcomes God uses all sorts of various means, read Calvin's Institutes and not the modern editions they are too reduced loosing the qualitative value. Keller undermines many aspects of the Doctrine of sanctification and a right view of sin. He is not reformed but rather a wolf in sheeps clothing.

@johnnieboy66 Read Calvin and his mentions about others that are obscure. His language was full of compromise, an example of one of his statements : "No one came to Christ who were told they were a sinner". There are clear cases in Scripture of examples of that very thing. But if you can't tell already his obscurity then you probably would excuse any and every such thing as lawful. Hopefully that's not the case.
