260 pages ; 24 cm. Philip Yancey has a gift for articulating the knotty issues of faith. In Disappointment with God, he poses three questions that Christians wonder but seldom ask aloud: Is God unfair? Is he silent? Is he hidden? This insightful and deeply personal book points to the odd disparity between our concept of God and the realities of life. Why, if God is so hungry for relationship with us, does he seem so distant? Why, if he cares for us, do bad things happen? What can we expect from him after all? Yancey answers these questions with clarity, richness, and biblical assurance. God within the shadows -- Hearing the silence -- Making contact : the father -- Drawing closer : the son -- Turning it over : the spirit -- Seeing in the dark. Philip Yancey.
