Synopsis

Why does God feel so distant so often, and how do I bridge the gap?Does your hunger for God often seem more frustrating than satisfying?Have you sensed a disturbing disparity between God's promises and life's realities?Have you seen God's promises work, but you've stumbled and want to believe again?Award-winning author Philip Yancey articulates the fundamental questions that confront us all: "How do I relate to a God who is invisible when I'm never quite sure he's there?"Reaching for the Invisible God?offers deep, satisfying insights to the questions you’re sometimes afraid to ask. Honest and deeply personal, here is straight talk on Christian living for the reader who wants more than pat answers to life's imponderables.Ultimately, Yancey shifts the focus from your questions to the One who offers himself in answer."A brilliant book. It is both profound and simple, the best blend, in my view. Simple is neither shallow, nor simplistic. The sections on doubt and God's 'absence' are classics." — Rick Warren, pastor and author,?The Purpose Driven Life

I first read this book more than 20 years ago. It is part of my New Year’s resolution to reread my 5-star nonfiction. It is surely a little dated, but -wow-, what a great book. Mr. Yancey has such a talent for grappling with doubt yet reassuring me of the big truth: God is real, and he loves me. I d......more
