Both a best-selling author and a popular preacher, Tim Keller’s success as a pastor has led many to ask him, “What’s your secret?” How do you do ministry that is both faithful to the Gospel and fruitful to the lives of individuals and the surrounding community?

In these books, he explains the importance of developing a “theological vision” to connect a church’s biblical and doctrinal foundations with the concrete programs and ministries they offer. Armed with this vision, life-changing ministry becomes possible in any cultural context.
