If you are in the Nashville area this Wednesday and can make the time you should consider seeing Tim Keller speak on The Prodigal God at Christ Presbyterian. Here’s the blurb :
Newsweek has called him a “C.S.Lewis for the twenty-first century”, and his latest book is based on Jesus’ parable of the prodigal son. In this familiar story, Keller challenges both devout Christians and skeptics to see Christianity in a whole new way as Jesus reveals God’s prodigal grace toward both the irreligious and the moralistic. “I have seen more people encouraged, enlightened, and helped by this passage when I explained the true meaning of it, than by any other text.”
And drop me a line if you’re going. I plan on being there.
Details and flyers here.
Oh gosh, I would love to be there. And Chris is playing in Nashville Tuesday night. We can’t go due to a conflict we can’t avoid, plus the weather looks like it’s going to be quite nasty.
I just told Scott we should be retired so we could just go down to Nashville ahead of the storm and take in these two events, both on the same side of town.
Please soak it in for me. I love Keller. He doesn’t know it but he pulled me through a dark and doubt-ridden time.
Hey Kathy! Would have loved to be able to meet you guys. But now it looks like we might not go either. We’ll just have to wait and see what the weather does.
Tim Keller seems to be “the man” these days. And while I’m not normally a personality follower, everything I’ve read from him seems to be right on, and true to the gospel. And if you like him and he’s helped you through a tight spot, well, that’s high praise indeed.
I’d love to see Nashville I hear the best pancakes are there. My sister and I have put it on our places to see list.
Great to see you tonight, Brian.
Thanks Jared. Great to meet you as well. Hope that God continues to bless you and your ministry in Nashville.

I know. . . I don’t want to praise him too highly, and yet. . . the way he communicates the Gospel speaks to my soul and points me to Christ.
