Disappointment with God Hardcover - 1995

by Philip Yancey


Summary

Is God Unfair? Is God Silent? Is God Hidden? These questions are asked with piercing honesty and biblical certainty. Step by step, Philip Yancey retraces the long journey toward understanding the answers to these and other questions. If God desires our love, why does he sometimes put obstacles in the way? Why does he seem so distant? What can we expect from him after all? No part of the Bible goes unstudied in the author's search for God's hidden nature in this compelling and profound book. A Gold Medallion Award winner, Disappointment with God has had an overwhelming impact on many lives -- it can change yours.

From the publisher

Philip Yancey searches for answers to the questions we rarely ask aloud -- Is God silent? Is God unfair? Where is God in our emotional pain? A searingly honest and powerful book that takes our doubts seriously, yet points to a faith we can live by and hope that will not let us down. When you are in doubt, God can seem very distant. Philip Yancey looks at how faith survives when tragedy strikes, or in time of great need, when the evidence for a loving God seems weakest. Christians are often lead to expect constant evidence of God's power improving their lives. In reality, life is not like that, yet if God is really always there, what is he doing? And why does he seem to hurt those who devote themselves to him? Philip Yancey tackles the elusive subject of faith, as seen through the eyes of those who doubt. He reminds us that even when you do not see God watching, he sees you.

London England: Marshall Pickering. Paperback. Dissapointment With God. Questions No One Asks Aloud. Previous owners name to inside cover. Creases to front cover. In this book the author searched for answers to this and other issues, asking questions we rarely ask aloud: is God silent? Is God Hidden? Is God unfair?

A searingly honest and powerful book that takes out doubts seriously, yet points to a faith we can live by and a hope that will not let us down. 260 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences.
