On Birth

Publisher Description

There are few events as significant and life-altering as birth, marriage, and death. These are the moments in which we experience our greatest happiness and our deepest grief. And so it is profoundly important to understand these events and their religious and spiritual significance in the course of our lives. In On Birth, Timothy Keller - brilliant theologian and bestselling author - takes us on a journey into the Christian meaning of birth and baptism. With wisdom, joy and compassion, Keller teaches us to understand birth and baptism through the lessons embedded within the Bible. The perfect gift for someone who is about to become a parent, On Birth is a short, powerful book that gives us the tools to understand the miracle and meaning of birth and baptism within God's vision of life. 'A Christian intellectual who takes on the likes of Nietzsche, Marx, and Freud.' The Wall Street Journal
