Encounters with Jesus: Unexpected Answers to Life’s Biggest Questions by Timothy Keller. On Sale Date: November 19, 2013.

Jesus Christ deeply affected those he spoke to directly, yet these encounters were not insular. Timothy Keller, pastor of New York City’s Redeemer Presbyterian Church and New York Times-bestselling author of The Reason for God, proves that we can benefit not only from the stories and teachings of Jesus, but from his acts and personal meetings. By exploring Jesus’s actions and his interactions with such varied individuals as a skeptical student, a Samaritan outcast, Mary Magdalene, and Satan himself, Timothy Keller proves that these long-ago acts and conversations can still have a profound affect on us today and help explain not only different aspects of Christianity, but the deep questions of life itself.

In Prodigal God, readers discovered the lavish love of God encountered by the Prodigal Son. In Encounters With Jesus, Tim Keller explores how the life and ministry of Christ directly impacted the first disciples, and how their encounters shape and inform our lives today.
