OK, not Tim Keller personally, but his book The Reason for God.
Keller is an outstanding writer and Bible teacher. And he is, quite frankly, scary smart. This book takes a powerful look at the existence of the God of the Bible. It's what Christians call an apologetic work. Not because he's sorry for being a follower of Jesus. The term "apologetic" comes from a Greek word in the New Testament that basically means "to make a case for" something.
Keller doesn't shy away from the toughest arguments against the faith. As a matter of fact, he pokes his finger in the chest of Richard Dawkins (author of The God Delusion) and the rest of the Four Horsemen of Atheism.
The Reason for God may be a lofty read with heavy concepts, but it is not a thick read with big words that only a PhD could comprehend. Keller writes in a very approachable manner that anyone interested in the debate can understand.
Tim Keller makes my head hurt. And that's not a bad thing.

Right about now, I could use that particular headache! I'm curious, though, as to when this book was written, and if it addresses any of the current popular arguments against God being the God of the Bible and the Bible being His inspired Word. I'm going to have to get this book!
