Reader reviews

'This book is amazing! My husband and I read it together, and it literally transformed the way we approached our marriage.' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

'The best biblical relationship/marriage book I have ever read. It has honestly made my connection with God stronger and it has completely changed my approach on life and love.' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

In this book, co-authored with his wife, Kathy, New York pastor and bestselling author Timothy Keller turns his attention to that most complex of matters: our need for love, and its expression in marriage.

Beginning with the biblical narrative, and its pictures of marriage that span the original ideal to the broken to the redemptive, Timothy Keller looks at themes of:

  • friendship and commitment;

  • the completion of men and women in each other;

  • singleness, sex and divorce;

  • ministry and discipleship within the context of marriage.

  • This is a profound and engaging work that will challenge and inspire people in all stages of life - single, newlywed and married.

    Tim Keller's ministry in New York City is leading a generation of seekers and skeptics toward belief in God. I thank God for him. * Billy Graham *
    Do you ever feel or think that your marriage could do with a make-over? Have you read all the books? Been to marriage-enrichment weekends? Still want help and answers? Look no further - Timothy Keller has the answers, if you are serious about your relationship with the Godhead, Father, Son and Holy Spirit....This is the very best book that I have read on marriage. -- Rosemary Rowe * Woman Alive *

    Author's Bio

    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 5,000 members. His target audience consisted mainly of urban professionals, whom he believed 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 SCEPTICISM was named Book of the Year for 2008 by World Magazine.

    Timothy Keller died in May 2023. His wife Kathy and sons live in New York City.
