there are real reasons for the man-crush

My mississippi friends will often ask, "So, Pendley... are you caught up in the Tim Tebow man crush?" What they mean is do you think everything that he does is simply splendid?
They have to ask that because, it is so fun to watch him play and really does seem to be a wonderful young man in many ways.

Similarly, Tim Keller is the object of many a minister's "man crush". A few women find his teaching extraordinarily helpful as well. Anyway, like Tebow, there's a reason... the guy is extremely gifted... and humility is one of those gifts. Tim Keller has a book coming out Mañana. Check out this "man-crush" review:

William Edgar on Keller's The Reason for God:

The Reason for God by Timothy Keller is Christian apologetics at its best. Keller understands skepticism because he constantly interacts with unbelief in every guise in New York City, where he works. He plunges head on into issues such as, suffering, the Bible and science, Islamic terrorism, the exclusivity of the Christian religion, and so on. His answers are always fresh, often surprising, imaginative. His sources range from Bono to Jean Paul Sartre to Jonathan Edwards, and these pages are filled with personal experiences and real-life people. Above all, this book is gospel-driven, in the same way Redeemer Church is, and Tim Keller himself is. If you don't read anything else in 2008, read this.
