Yet another tsunami or earthquake or flood or fire or war atrocity. One more gun-toting madman stalking young people in idyllic Norway or moviegoers in Colorado or schoolchildren in Newtown, Connecticut. We turn off the news only to get a phone call about expectant parents with a stillborn baby, or a loved one whose cancer has returned. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf we have faith in God, it gets shaken to the core. What \u003ci\u003ewas \u003c\/i\u003eGod doing in the moment when that tragedy could have been prevented? If we can''t trust God to keep our children safe or our loved ones from dying in agony, what \u003ci\u003ecan \u003c\/i\u003ewe trust God for?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn his classic book WHERE IS GOD WHEN IT HURTS?\u003ci\u003e, \u003c\/i\u003ePhilip Yancey gave us permission to doubt, reasons not to abandon faith, and practical ways to reach out to hurting people. Now, with new perspectives and stories gathered across nearly twenty-five years, once again he tackles the hard questions head-on. His visits to three places i\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn his new book, Philip Yancey returns to the question, 'what is God up to in a world of such tragedy and pain?'. Many of his best-selling books have considered this, most difficult of question and with 'The Question that Never Goes Away' Yancey continues to express his own journey in print. * Aslan Christian Books *\u003cbr\u003ePhilip Yancey is interviewed by Sharon Barnard, for Woman Alive Magazine. -- Sharon Barnard * Woman Alive Magazine *\u003cbr\u003ePhilip Yancey is interviewed in The War Cry by Philip Halcrow -- Philip Halcrow * The War Cry *\u003cbr\u003ePhilip Yancey is interviewed in Inspire by Sharon Barnard -- Sharon Barnard * Inspire *\u003cbr\u003eFilled with honest consideration and insight.. This book is great for anyone wanting something easy to read but deep to consider. * Together Magazine *\u003cbr\u003ePhilip Yancey has been the Church's go-to man on suffering since his first book, \u003ci\u003eWhere is God When it Hurts?,\u003c\/i\u003e and is often invited to address trauma-struck communities such as Columbine, Fukushima and Sandy Hook. Such face-to-face meetings with survivors and the bereaved keep him from glib answers. He treats both tragedy and faith with equal respect in this reflective work. Fuelled by honesty, pithy stories, well-selected quotes and interesting touches ... this vivid book condenses observation and theology into a wise, sensitive and practical aid to understanding the brokenness around us and responding as God's presence in the lives of the hurting ... newcomers to his work will quickly see his great appeal as he offers helpful insight, freshly forged in the heat of very recent news stories. - **** -- DW * Christianity Magazine *\u003cbr\u003eYancey is happy to consider ways in which suffering can lead to growth, and to emphasise resurrection and redemption. His first priority, however, is wise discernment of what would be best said to a particular suffering person, and what would be best not said. -- Rev. Andrew Davidson * The Church Times *\u003cbr\u003eThere is much encouragement and hope contained within. Yancy writes with clarity and compassion. He does not under estimate the destructive force of suffering, neither does he attempt to provide neat, glib answers. -- John Hughes * Reflections *\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Murray Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48739254239575,"sku":"9781444788556","price":9.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781444788556.jpg?v=1720051653","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-question-that-never-goes-away-9781444788556","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
