Product Description

Product Description

God is not only to be found in majestic cathedrals or supernatural visions, shows best-selling author Yancey, but also and often more powerfully in the unexpected places - the might of a polar bear, the oppression of a Peruvian prison cell or in the broken cry of Shakespeare's King Lear. As we discover God's footprints in increasingly unlikely places, so our understanding of his beauty, love and power continues to grow. Finding God in Unexpected Places will sharpen your spiritual vision and challenge you to look for God outside the four walls of the church. he may not be as far away as you think. In this new edition of an already-popular title, Yancey has removed nine of the chapters that he felt had become dated, and added another fourteen brand new chapters.

The best conversations are those that stimulate you to think along new lines and this is what Yancey does in this book.Forget the boring official commentaries and news reports of the time and be challenged by a new insight on people and events that have shaped 'us' as a society.Looking at situations from this spiritual standpoint will excite you.God is always amazing and Yancey helps us to see that in the most dire of circumstances He was there in unexpected places. A heartening and challenging book.In the future,in both personal and world situations, will you accept the challenge to find God in unexpected places? Perhaps then a whole chain of new thinking will produce amazing results!

I had heard that Yancey was an insightful writer who would not be satisfied with glib responses to difficult questions - the type of responses that never stand up in the debate of conversation, only in the unopposed form of the printed word. However in general I was disappointed with this book. I found it superficial, bordering on embarrassing, in it's dealing in three or four pages of anecdotes with, for example, science, the Muslim faith, health, and so on. I realise it is meant to be a book of short cameos to stimulate reflection but there is simply too little substance to challenge ones thinking. Nevertheless Yancey does shine in places, for example when recounting the role of Christians in the overthrow of communism- here he seems to write with more power and conviction, in less sugary fashion. The description of the growing movement of churches in Leipzig is a powerful testimony. Overall however this is a book that will feed the believers, but not convince the searching.

I enjoyed reading the book. It's one of those books that you can't put down, no matter what happens. I would recommend it to anyone.
