Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Yancey quotes extensively from classic writers and sketches scenes of doubting biblical figures as he grapples with making sense of a God who is personal, yet sometimes so elusive. Six different aspects of the Christian life are explored: our longing for God, who God is, the Holy Spirit, our faith, growth, and spiritual transformation. In his explorations, he reassembles the difficult and perplexing events of life around an ability to trust in a loving God. Trust is pivotal. Admitting that God's style "often baffles me", Yancey leaves no doubt that his framework of faith is still in place, that he sees "evidence of [God's] long-suffering, mercy, and desire to woo rather than compel--I have learned to trust God".
Here is the clear, concise writing mixed with deeply personal and authentic insights that won Yancey a string of Religious Book Awards for previous books. Expect some more. --Cindy Crosby

He isn't just a formulaic and simplistic theologian/preacher that offers easy answers to difficult dilemmas.
In this book he tries to make sense of the whole concept of 'having a relationship with God'. Some of the questions he tries to deal with are: 'What are the things we ought to expect from God? How do we improve our relationship with God? What is going on when we don't 'feel' as if God is there?'
In reading this book. the 'doubting Thomas types' would fnd many of their struggles and questions being affirmed by Yancey's observations and real-life examples. At the same time the possible solutions he suggests are very helpful.
Enough said.....just read it!
I have almost finished the book and plan to immediately read it again to absorb it more - so much of it could be on refridgerator magnets because it pins down important, yet so easily forgotten, truths e.g. "Question your doubts as much as your faith".
I've read most of Yancey's recent bestsellers and this is definitely my favourite.
