Timothy Keller
The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness
Why does the self keep seeking proof of its worth, and what could free it from that pursuit? Timothy Keller traces the ego’s dependence on comparison and recognition, then presents Christian humility as freedom from human verdicts through acceptance in Christ—a perspective that can reshape responses to criticism, achievement, and others’ success.

The Prodigal God
The book reads Jesus’ parable of the two sons as exposing both rebellion and respectable self-righteousness. It asks what it means to be lost, found, and brought home, tracing how costly grace reshapes repentance, hope, personal conduct, community, and care for vulnerable people.
