Book Description
The purpose of this book is twofold. The first objective is to show that there is no greater or more important invitation than that of the gospel. The second part of this book is designed to show that there is no need to resort to methods which do not have the sanction of Scripture. The purpose of the earlier chapters is to demonstrate that everything needed for the preacher has been provided. p. 5.

Book Description
We live in an age of skepticism. Our society places such faith in empirical reason, historical progress, and heartfelt emotion that it’s easy to wonder: Why should anyone believe in Christianity? What role can faith and religion play in our modern lives? In this thoughtful and inspiring new book, pastor and New York Times bestselling author Timothy Keller invites skeptics to consider that Christianity is more relevant now than ever. As human beings, we cannot live without meaning, satisfaction, freedom, identity, justice, and hope. Christianity provides us with unsurpassed resources to meet these needs. Written for both the ardent believer and the skeptic, Making Sense of God shines a light on the profound value and importance of Christianity in our lives.

Book Description
Do you wish there was a way to reduce your weariness? Do you long for release from your burdens? If you answered “yes” to either question, The Greatest Invitation is for you. Jesus extends to all humanity—regardless of our situation, conditions, or beliefs—an Invitation to give our weariness and burdens to him. This invitation in Matthew 11:28–30 is straightforward, broad, and deep: Come to me, all that are weary and carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. This Invitation is offered to every human being. Whether you are Christian, Jewish, Muslim, the adherent of some other religion, agnostic, or atheist, it does not matter. There is no expiration date or limited service area. This handbook for hope presents a practical four-step model for accepting this Invitation; offers real-life stories of people who have been transformed by it; and highlights the gifts that you can receive. Here is your opportunity to experience release from your weariness and burdens and to live into rest, joy, and love. You can develop relationships that are richer and deeper. You can develop the virtues that enable your humanity to shine. You can grow toward becoming the person you desire to be.

Book Description
Evangelists must be careful to maintain a delicate balance. What devout Christian does not long to see sinners converted and brought into the Church? It is hard to imagine a person who has been redeemed from the power and penalty of sin, not desiring for other needy people to come to same salvation. However, it is possible for sincere Christians to be so zealous about soul-winning that they virtually attempt to force sinners to embrace Jesus Christ as Savior. In contrast, there are Christians who have been so discouraged by soul-winning failures that they have given up trying, and are determined to let God save who He will without their help. Both of these positions are out of balance and result in failure. What does God say about evangelism? What part does He play? What does He expect His people to do? The Bible records many wonderful invitations from God to needy people. These invitations offer insight into God's plans and purposes. The great invitations of the Bible demonstrate the great grace of God who offers them.
