About this audiobook
The most influential man to ever walk the earth has had his story told in hundreds of different ways for thousands of years. Can any more be said?
Now, Timothy Keller, New York Times bestselling author of The Reason for God and the man Newsweek called a "C. S. Lewis for the twenty-first century," unlocks new insights into the life of Jesus Christ as he explores how Jesus came as a king, but a king who had to bear the greatest burden anyone ever has. King's Cross is Keller's revelatory look at the life of Christ as told in the Gospel of Mark. In it, Keller shows how the story of Jesus is at once cosmic, historical, and personal, calling each of us to look anew at our relationship with God. It is an unforgettable look at Jesus Christ, and one that will leave an indelible imprint on every reader.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5One of the best books on Jesus Christ. I must read it now in print slowly to take the time to digest the rich nuggets.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Excellent analysis and encouragement from the book of Mark on the life of Jesus.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I admit that I was really skeptical when I got this book (something about the breathless dust jacket blurbs, which are doubtless not Keller's fault). I'm glad I read it, though. I don't think his writing style will ever be my favorite; for example, his tendency to drop a quote from Lewis or Tolkien or something from pop culture just as he's winding up to a really excellent theological insight. There were also moments when his exegesis made me wish he would "show his work" a little more. I was uncomfortable at points that the book didn't have a stronger "churchly" horizon and was focused more on the felt needs of the individual seeker. On the other hand, Keller is targeting the unchurched. He knows his audience well. And I was also challenged by the reminder of how personal and particular Jesus' love is. It's the only thing that can free me up to get over myself and be able to love Him and others.
Keller introduces Jesus and the gospel in such an attractive, often surprising way that I often thought of people with whom I wanted to share and discuss this book. On the whole, I would recommend it. - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Not as good as his earlier book, Reason For God. This books reads like a series of sermons from the book of Mark. There are some particularly fascinating and rewarding insights. I enjoyed the last chapter about the happy ending, which as a Christian I really believe and that makes so much difference in how I feel and live my life. I could have given the book a five star rating if it was more scholarly. He assumes much from his theological background that he doesn't support. A decent read non the less.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is an excellent read and I highly recommend it. Tim Keller is one of the best Christian communicators alive. King's Cross is a study of Mark's gospel, breaking it into 2 parts. The first looks at the identity of Jesus while the second looks at the purpose of Jesus. Keller pastors a large church in NYC (Manhatten), largely composed of 20 and 30-somethings. If you are a pastor, I suspect that is about as tough an audience as you can find. I can tell that this is the primary audience he is speaking to in King's Cross, although I will hasten to add that it justs makes it a better book for those of us much further down life's road. I found it hard to put down and highly recommend it.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Reading this book, you finally realize the depth of Scriptural scholarship present in Protestant churches and missing among us Catholics. These reflections are based on the concept of a personal relationship with Jesus. It does not address the collective relationship of Jesus with his church as a community, as the People of God.
