Synopsis

From New York Times bestselling author and pastor Timothy Keller, a book celebrating and exploring the spiritual meaning of birth and baptism

Significant events such as birth, marriage, and death are milestones in our lives in which we experience our greatest happiness and our deepest grief. And so it is profoundly important to understand how to approach and experience these occasions with grace, endurance, and joy.

In On Birth, Timothy Keller--theologian and bestselling author--helps us understand both physical and spiritual birth, as well as how baptism connects the two. With wisdom, joy, and compassion, Keller draws on forty-five years as a pastor and a parent to consider what it means to receive a new birth as well as to be reborn.

The perfect gift for someone who is about to become a parent or is searching for the true meaning of Christianity, On Birth is a short, powerful book that illuminates God's vision of life.

Goodreads review by Annie on March 22, 2020

Keller is faithful as always to guide the reader through the murky waters of cultural norms, holding the bright lamp of biblical wisdom. He discusses the things of “first birth”: children, baptism, and parenting, and of “second birth”: coming to belief in Christ, or being “born again”. It’s in the d......more

Goodreads review by Reid on October 09, 2023

I’m not sure how to feel about this book! On the one hand, it felt a little unfocused and didn’t necessarily align with what I was expecting based on the title and back cover synopsis. On the other hand, it was filled with great wisdom and pastoral insight. The first section is about birth/parenthoo......more
