Most convicting read of the year, in the best way possible

This is a top-tier book, the kind that you get lost in. Listening to it on runs makes time fly!

“The notion that we should conduct our lives completely apart from the admonitions of God’s Word is a terrible notion. To ignore God’s revelation of his righteousness is sinful. To read scripture, but to refuse to allow its commands to influence one’s conduct, is the essence of sin.”

Psalm 65:2-4

[2] O you who hear prayer,
to you shall all flesh come.
[3] When iniquities prevail against me,
you atone for our transgressions.
[4] Blessed is the one you choose and bring near,
to dwell in your courts!
We shall be satisfied with the goodness of your house,
the holiness of your temple!

Loving this!

First time reading the patron saint of the Belhaven Biblical Studies Department and he has not disappointed so far

Easy to digest and gives a good overview of the message and importance of the Prophets

The tiny print, 2 column pages are brutal🤦‍♂️
I may be 45 years old by the time I finish these but might as well start now

Anyone who quotes Blaise Pascal on diversion gets a 5 stars in my book

On a serious note, this book is convicting and packed with wisdom and warnings, great read so far

Thought this was going to be somewhat dense but it’s been great so far and fairly easy to read!

Keller’s chapter on “The Mission of Marriage” was particularly packed with wisdom and thought-provoking ideas on the purpose of Christian marriage. He describes the great importance of seeing your spouse as a believer and friend who both strive towards the Throne of God first and foremost, using the example of Christ and His bride.

Tremendous read so far and more to come!

Highly recommend
