Left Bank Books and City Church present Timothy Keller for a discussion and book signing. The New York Times best-selling author of The Reason for God and The Prodigal Son and a nationally renowned minister, Timothy Keller exposes the error of making good things "ultimate" in his latest book, and shows readers a new path toward a hope that lasts. Success, true love, and the live you've always wanted. Many of us placed our faith in these things, believing they held the key to happiness, but with a sneaking suspicion they might not deliver. The recent economic meltdown has cast a harsh new light on these pursuits. In a matter of months, fortunes, marriages, careers, and a secure retirement have disappeared for milllions of people. No wonder so many of us feel lost, alone, disenchanted, and resentful. We made lesser gods of these good things--gods that can't give us what we really need. Keller's powerful message will cement his reputation as a critical thinker and pastor, and comes at a crucial time--for both the faithful and the skeptical.
