Synopsis

Many of us experience times when life with God seems to fall short of our expectations—when we feel let down by God, hurt, or abandoned.This is something most people don't talk about—until now.In this classic work of Christian integrity and spiritual investigation, Philip Yancey gives us permission to look directly into our doubts and reckon with them. He uncovers the real and lasting hope that can be found in the midst of darkness and disillusion, exploring three questions that Christians wonder about but rarely feel permission to voice:If God is so hungry for relationship with us, why does he seem so distant?If God cares for us, why do bad things happen?If God's promises are true, why do they feel so far off from personal experience?With his gift for articulating and answering some of the most honest, complex issues of faith, Philip Yancey points you beyond doubt and hardship to a stronger, wiser faith, a confidence in God's deep love, and a thirst to reach not just for what God gives, but for who God is.Included in the 25th anniversary edition is a study guide with questions about these perplexing crises of faith that the author confronts.Spanish edition also available.

Phillip Yancey writes with such honesty and compassion. You get the feeling that there is nothing about the hard life of faith that could shock him or make him think poorly of you. In this book he tackles three questions he says aren't admitted or discussed enough among Christians. Is God unfair? Is......more

Goodreads review by Bishoy on July 14, 2021

Phillip Yancey attempts to provide answers for three questions that can rattle the faith of any theist; Is God unfair? Is He silent? Is He hidden? Not through philosophy but through the Christian faith and how the Bible addresses these issues throughout the old and new testaments with a focus on the......more
