Synopsis

The Resurrection accounts of Jesus in the Gospels are the most dramatic and impactful stories ever told. One similarity unites each testimony--that none of his most loyal and steadfast followers could "see" it was him, back from the dead. The reason for this is at the very foundation of the Christian faith.

She turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus. (John 20:14)

Hope in the Time of Fear is a book that unlocks the meaning of Jesus's resurrection for readers. Easter is considered the most solemn and important holiday for Christians. It is a time of spiritual rebirth and a time of celebrating the physical rebirth of Jesus after three days in the tomb. For his devoted followers, nothing could prepare them for the moment they met the resurrected Jesus. Each failed to recognize him. All of them physically saw him and yet did not spiritually truly see him. It was only when Jesus reached out and invited them to see who he truly was that their eyes were open. Here the central message of the Christian faith is revealed in a way only Timothy Keller could do it--filled with unshakable belief, piercing insight, and a profound new way to look at a story you think you know. After reading this book, the true meaning of Easter will no longer be unseen.

4.5. Though I think this book could have been shorter, and better edited overall, it contains too much edifying theology and invigorating application to not give it five stars.......more

Is there anything better than the hope of the resurrection? It seems that Keller always knows the exact words my soul needs. Will be ordering for myself to keep so I can reread chapter 11 over and over......more

Goodreads review by Jon on March 21, 2021

Closer to 4.5 Can the world provide you with any resemblance of hope? We are at each other's throats in so many respects. We blame others for the plight we are in. If this was fixed or that injustice was eliminated, all would be right with the world. Sounds great, but is it true? Is the answer to ha......more

Goodreads review by Bethan on November 21, 2022

3.5 stars. I find Keller at times hard to read as he's very academic, but the overall message of hope is incredibly encouraging and a great reminder of the 'now and not yet' kingdom. Loved one of his last lines, 'Jesus was truly abandoned so that you only feel abandoned but you're not.' Praise God f......more

Goodreads review by Kate on July 09, 2021

Timothy Keller is my new favorite author. (Ok, maybe tied with Dickens.) I'm glad I didn't read the "Easter" part in the title initially because I might have put off reading it until, well, Easter. But I needed this book NOW. Because who doesn't need hope in times such as these? Keller is writing in......more
