52 Books in 52 Weeks, it's called. The challenge is simple: read a book every week for a year.
38. The reason for God.
I’d been threatening to read this again ever since I finished it in November, 2008. Again, it remains a clear, coherent, compelling vision of the Gospel. One by one, Keller addresses the chief objections-to-faith he regularly encounters as pastor of a mainline Protestant church in progressive, liberal Manhattan. And when he’s done sensitively but thoroughly providing convincing responses to those doubts, he proceeds to walk through the positive case for God. I would strongly, strongly recommend this book if you have any curiosity about Jesus or Christianity or the Church at all, or if you’ve been in the Church your whole life and want to be challenged and refreshed, or if you’re just somewhere in between. I wish I could buy you all a copy.
