Disappointment with God

Philip Yancey has a very simple and easily-readible style - yet by no means does he sacrifice quality for that. The books delves into hard questions:
- Is God unfair?
- Is God silent?
- Is God hidden?

It is excellent. I will remember this book forever probably. I think that any person who feels disillusioned by what's going on in the church .. people who have pushed past the simple answers and have come back empty handed. A lot of the book is spent on the book of Job and in real life stories. That makes it easy to read and the stories stick in you mind. I'll remember some of the stories for a long time.

This book really spoke to my heart. I guess that after everything that happened over the last few years left me a bit fearful to commit to prayer and faith again. I'm not sure that I'm back, but this book gave a lot of understanding and healing.


Thanks, Philip.
