Tim Keller Endorses Emergent Church Book



Trying to re-packing poison to make it easier for everyone to swallow:


Deep Church: A Third Way Beyond Emerging and Traditional by Richard Belcher, foreward by Richard Mouw. That is Tim Keller's name & endorsement in the upper right hand corner of the book.



Reviews at Amazon:


"Jim Belcher shows that we don't have to choose between orthodox evangelical doctrine on the one hand, and cultural engagement, creativity and commitment to social justice on the other. This is an important book." --Tim Keller, Redeemer Presbyterian Church, New York
