Timothy Keller The Songs Of Jesus

He's one of this generations best teachers. Spiritual leaders around the world reach for the messages he's so willing to share. And humbly he shares, "They aren't my words. But I've been instructed to share." From the iHeart Radio Studio I'm very pleased to welcome back Dr Timothy Keller Unplugged and Totally Uncut. With the release of THE SONGS OF JESUS: A Year of Daily Devotions in the Psalms (Viking; On-Sale Date: November 10, 2015), Timothy Keller with his wife, Kathy, have written a book that offers everyday inspiration for an entire year based on the Book of Psalms. Psalms have always held a special place in Christian faith, as they can be the most interactive way to approach prayer; as Tim and Kathy say in the introduction, “They are written to be prayed, recited, and sung—to be done, not merely to be read. THE SONGS OF JESUS is not simply a devotional of Psalms, it is a deep dive into one Book of the Bible, providing not only a daily reading but also an investigation into the meaning of the Psalm and a prayer to help put the Psalm to use in everyday meditation. THE SONGS OF JESUS can be used purely to enhance the readers daily prayer, or as an outlet to dig deeper into the meaning of the Psalms and enhance one’s knowledge of God. THE SONGS OF JESUS is sure to be a perennial classic for years to come. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Timothy Keller was born and raised in Pennsylvania and educated at Bucknell University, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, and Westminster Theological Seminary. He was first a pastor in Hopewell, Virginia. In 1989, he started Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City with his wife, Kathy, and their three sons. Today, Redeemer has more than five thousand regular Sunday attendees. Dr. Keller also founded Redeemer City to City, which has trained leaders to start more than three hundred new churches in nearly fifty cities around the world. Keller is the author of Prayer, Encounters with Jesus, Walking with God through Pain and Suffering, Every Good Endeavor, The Meaning of Marriage, Generous Justice, Counterfeit Gods, The Prodigal God, Jesus the King, and The Reason for God. Kathy Keller received her MA in theological studies at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. Kathy and Tim then moved to Virginia, where Tim started at his first church, West Hopewell Presbyterian Church. After nine years, Kathy and her family moved to New York City to start the Redeemer Presbyterian Church. Kathy co-wrote The Meaning of Marriage with Tim. The Songs of Jesus is their second collaboration. For more information, please visit http://www.timothykeller.com/
