  <description><![CDATA[Spanish Edition. Starting with the following question, the author unveils an in-depth look at the pertinence and relevance of our faith in the world in which we live. &#8220;Does our faith deceive us into believing in a world that doesn&#8217;t really exist, or, more likely, does it reveal the existence of a world that can&#8217;t be seen without faith? Throughout chapters like &#8220;Partial life,&#8221; &#8220;Designer sex,&#8221; &#8220;The gift of guilt&#8221; and others, this award-winning author helps us to understand the fullness of the reality in which we live, in both spiritual and mundane ways. In conclusion, the book proposes that the Christian faith is a primary requirement for living and enjoying this world to the fullest.]]></description>

    <![CDATA[What on earth are we missing? Philip Yancey believes we are missing the supernatural hidden in everyday life.<br/><br/>In Rumors of Another World, Yancey investigates the natural world and discovers the supernatural hiding in plain view. He grapples with why God made the world and what our role truly is, and seeks to answer the question, &#8220;How do I live in the natural world while expressing the values of the supernatural?&#8221;<br/><br/>Philip writes, &#8220;I have come to understand faith as the highest form of integrated encounter. Faith puts together, assembles, re-orders, accepting the entire world as God&#8217;s handiwork. We live among clues, like rescuers sifting through pieces of stained glass shattered by a bomb, and only with a blueprint or some memory of original design can we begin to connect the shards, to assemble them into a pattern that makes sense of our world.<br/><br/>&#8220;Nature and supernature are not two separate worlds, but different expressions of the same reality. To encounter the world as a whole, we need a more supernatural awareness of the natural world.&#8221;<br/><br/>Yancey invites readers to join him on a journey of discovery. He challenges us to tune into &#8220;rumors of another world,&#8221; and connect the seen with the unseen. He promises that the grace-filled result will be a life of beauty, purpose, freedom, and faith.]]>

    <![CDATA[What on earth are we missing? Philip Yancey believes we are missing the supernatural hidden in everyday life.<br/><br/>In Rumors of Another World, Yancey investigates the natural world and discovers the supernatural hiding in plain view. He grapples with why God made the world and what our role truly is, and seeks to answer the question, &#8220;How do I live in the natural world while expressing the values of the supernatural?&#8221;<br/><br/>Philip writes, &#8220;I have come to understand faith as the highest form of integrated encounter. Faith puts together, assembles, re-orders, accepting the entire world as God&#8217;s handiwork. We live among clues, like rescuers sifting through pieces of stained glass shattered by a bomb, and only with a blueprint or some memory of original design can we begin to connect the shards, to assemble them into a pattern that makes sense of our world.<br/><br/>&#8220;Nature and supernature are not two separate worlds, but different expressions of the same reality. To encounter the world as a whole, we need a more supernatural awareness of the natural world.&#8221;<br/><br/>Yancey invites readers to join him on a journey of discovery. He challenges us to tune into &#8220;rumors of another world,&#8221; and connect the seen with the unseen. He promises that the grace-filled result will be a life of beauty, purpose, freedom, and faith.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[Although I still enjoy anything that Yancey puts out,  I wonder if some of them are starting to run together or the things I read are just running together.  There is always good insight and usually a lot of good references to other books, however, so I still see worth in continuing to read his book...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4568485">more...</a>]]></body>

    <![CDATA[What on earth are we missing? Philip Yancey believes we are missing the supernatural hidden in everyday life.<br/><br/>In Rumors of Another World, Yancey investigates the natural world and discovers the supernatural hiding in plain view. He grapples with why God made the world and what our role truly is, and seeks to answer the question, &#8220;How do I live in the natural world while expressing the values of the supernatural?&#8221;<br/><br/>Philip writes, &#8220;I have come to understand faith as the highest form of integrated encounter. Faith puts together, assembles, re-orders, accepting the entire world as God&#8217;s handiwork.

    <body><![CDATA[This was a good book explaining about what is out there after death. IF you are a Yancey fan, this is really not one of his best writings, but it still leaves a sense of tranquility of the life that comes after death.]]></body>

    <![CDATA[What on earth are we missing? Philip Yancey believes we are missing the supernatural hidden in everyday life.<br/><br/>In Rumors of Another World, Yancey investigates the natural world and discovers the supernatural hiding in plain view. He grapples with why God made the world and what our role truly is, and seeks to answer the question, &#8220;How do I live in the natural world while expressing the values of the supernatural?&#8221;<br/><br/>Philip writes, &#8220;I have come to understand faith as the highest form of integrated encounter. Faith puts together, assembles, re-orders, accepting the entire world as God&#8217;s handiwork. We live among clues, like rescuers sifting through pieces of stained glass shattered by a bomb, and only with a blueprint or some memory of original design can we begin to connect the shards, to assemble them into a pattern that makes sense of our world.<br/><br/>&#8220;Nature and supernature are not two separate worlds, but different expressions of the same reality. To encounter the world as a whole, we need a more supernatural awareness of the natural world.&#8221;<br/><br/>Yancey invites readers to join him on a journey of discovery. He challenges us to tune into &#8220;rumors of another world,&#8221; and connect the seen with the unseen. He promises that the grace-filled result will be a life of beauty, purpose, freedom, and faith.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[I am rereading this book. I read is some years ago. It is a good account of the mystery of God's reality and how reflections of God's domain seep through into our reality. ]]></body>
