Back in June, founding pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City, world-renown apologist, and best-selling author Tim Keller announced that he had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. He started chemotherapy shortly after making the sobering announcement, saying at the time “I feel great and have no symptoms… It was what doctors call an ‘incidental pickup,’ otherwise known as providential intervention.”
The former Redeemer Presbyterian Church pastor and author of the New York Times bestselling books Counterfeit Gods, The Reason for God, and The Prodigal God gave an update via his social media accounts on his cancer treatments today:
Dear Praying Friends,
Kathy and I want to thank you for your many expressions of support, and for your faithfulness in praying for us. We have been acutely aware of those prayers, and God has heard them…
As of yesterday, I have finished six rounds of chemo for pancreatic cancer and, while there are indeed some side effects, my doctor says I’m tolerating the treatment very well. I have not been seriously debilitated and I can still do some work and ministry.
