About this audiobook
Ever wondered why some messages about faith feel flat, while others strike straight to the heart?
If you want your sermons to do more than inform - if you want them to transform - then this is the preaching guide you've been waiting for.
Pastor and New York Times bestselling author Timothy Keller invites readers into the art of sharing the timeless truths of Scripture in a world flooded with doubt, distraction and digital noise. But this isn't just a book for pastors - it's for anyone who wants to understand how the Christian story speaks to both the mind and the soul in our modern age.
With clarity and compassion, Timothy Keller delivers a masterclass in how to communicate the gospel, through three key movements:
✅ What to Say - Learn how every part of the Bible points to Jesus - and why that matters for how we understand and share the gospel.
✅ Who You're Talking To - Understand today's culture so you can speak to both skeptics and believers with clarity, honesty, and heart.
✅ How to Deliver It - Preaching isn't just skill; it's spiritual. Keller shows how prayer, humility, and the Holy Spirit make the message come alive.
Whether you speak from a pulpit, a classroom, or across the dinner table, this book will deepen your appreciation for the message of the gospel - and help you share it in a way that connects.
'If you find yourself tasked with the regular communication of biblical truth in any respect (teaching, traditional preaching, writing, blogging, counselling, mentoring), read this. Clear, direct, effective, moving. Really just so, so good.' Goodreads reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
'Tim Keller provides great wisdom and practical insight into the art and craft of preaching and how to engage it with culture.' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
'A fantastic book for anyone looking to engage with the 'modern mind' in a constructive and effective way. [Keller] maintains that all preaching must aim to say "isn't Christ great" - in a day when preaching seems to focus on practice and moral living, this is refreshing to read.' Goodreads reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

About the author
Timothy Keller was born in Pennsylvania and educated at Bucknell University, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, and Westminster Theological Seminary. He became a Christian at university, was ordained by the Presbyterian Church in America and worked as a pastor for nine years.
He was asked to start Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Manhattan in 1989, and under his leadership the church's congregation experienced unprecedented growth from 50 to 5000 members. His target audience consists mainly of urban professionals, whom he believes exhibit disproportionate influence over the culture and its ideas.
The 'Influentials' Issue of New York Magazine featured Dr. Keller as "the most successful Christian evangelist in the city by recognizing that young professionals and artists are 'disproportionately influential' in creating the country's culture and that you have to meet this coveted demographic on its own terms."
Timothy Keller is renowned for his clear, reasoned approach to Christian apologetics and his book THE REASON FOR GOD: BELIEF IN AN AGE OF SKEPTICISM was named Book of the Year for 2008 by World Magazine.
Timothy Keller lives in New York City with his wife Kathy and sons David, Michael and Jonathan.
