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
