As the author explains in his introduction, no doubt more sermons have been given in this century on the love of God than on any other theme. Yet despite the fact, too few Christians have caught more than a glimps of its reality and power. In simple yet profound imagery, Keller shows how closely linked is a clear knowledge of Christ's character with an understanding of God's love.
W. Phillip Keller (1920–1997) was a prolific Christian author, agronomist, and naturalist best known for writing the spiritual classic A Shepherd Looks at Psalm 23. Born in Kenya to missionary parents, his deep connection to nature and agriculture shaped his life and distinctive literary work.
