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. He takes us beyond the things that make for disillusionment to a deeper faith, a certitude of God's love, and a thirst to reach not just for what God gives, but for who he is. 2682878 1988 Disappointment with God total:344|5:133|4:133|3:69|2:8|1:1| 344 1421 495 42 5 0 false false Mon Feb 09 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 24 07:22:45 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 24 07:28:16 -0800 2009 more...]]> 0 0 false false Sun Jul 26 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 26 08:30:11 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 26 08:34:18 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Thu Jun 25 22:21:30 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 25 22:26:34 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Tue Mar 18 18:21:29 -0700 2008 Wed Apr 02 12:16:17 -0700 2008
