Tim Keller has experienced hope firsthand. As a student at Bucknell University, Keller felt a spiritual void in his life when he was invited to a meeting of the InterVarsity Christian Fellowship group on Bucknell’s campus.
After hearing about Jesus Christ’s sacrifice on the cross on Keller’s behalf, he placed his hope in Christ as his personal Savior,
according to New Release Tuesday.
God took Keller on an exciting journey from this point forward. Today, he is founding pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City and has authored 14 evangelical books that have earned more than $1 million in sales and touched countless lives.
