What Is Wrong with the World? is not a list of answers - it's an invitation to tell the truth. About what hurts. About what we're still carrying. It's for anyone ready to stop performing and start healing.

Beloved pastor and New York Timesbestselling author Timothy Keller offers a hope-filled answer to the question beneath every devastating headline and personal What is wrong with the world?

Everywhere we look, we see brokenness - wars, cruelty, and heartache. We feel it in the world around us and in our own lives. How did it get to be this way?
In What Is Wrong with the World?, based on a series of teachings given at Redeemer, Keller argues that the only thing that can account for the world's pain and chaos is what the Bible calls sin.
What Is Wrong with the World?is for anyone
Feels overwhelmed at the state of the world;
Battles with repeated mistakes and poor choices;
Desires more than pat answers to difficult questions;
Wonders how to know joy while still acknowledging pain;
Wants to understand how God's love gives hope even in the hardest of places.

This hugely hopeful book reveals how sin is not simply a "bad" thing we do but something much more subtle and complex, affecting our relationships, our thinking, and every aspect of our existence.
And once we recognise sin for what it is, can we find the profound, life-transforming answers our souls long for.
