Our power: spirit-filled living
Tim Keller uses the metaphor of an acorn to illustrate the nature of God's power to shape us. An acorn can break concrete and yield an entire forest, but its power is through slow change. God uses magic acorns, not magic bullets.
How to Deal with Dark Times
Another Keller masterpiece. God does not dismiss how suffering people speak but shows us through Psalm 88, Job, and Jesus' life and death, that He is a God of grace, and we will come forth as gold.
Tim Keller discusses Psalm 88 and how to deal with difficult seasons of life. He explores how the psalms, including expressions of desperation, reveal God's understanding and identification with human suffering.

The Reason for God: Belief in an Age of Skepticism
Keller takes the most common objections to Christianity seriously — suffering, exclusivity, the church's failures, science — before making a positive case for faith. Useful both for skeptics and for believers who want to engage them honestly.
