MEDIA ADVISORY, Dec. 9, 2010 /Christian Newswire/ -- For the month of December, PreachingToday.com, ministry of Christianity Today International is offering a free Christmas audio or sermon transcript of Tim Keller's The Purpose of Christmas to its audience. This complimentary gift is available to everyone and especially useful to busy pastors and ministers preparing multiple sermon messages this season.

Keller discusses moving past the idea that Christmas is simply a story to understanding that Christmas is frankly doctrinal and boldly historical.

Tim Keller is an American author, speaker, and the founding pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City, New York. He is the author of Counterfeit Gods, The Prodigal Son, and the New York Times Best Seller The Reason for God.

Keller's The Purpose of Christmas will be available from now until December 31st 2010 and is available for immediate download at www.preachingtoday.com/sermons/outlines/2005/august/244-outline.html
