Description
Book Synopsis''Why does the church stir up such negative feelings?'' This is a question that Philip Yancey has been asking all his life - for himself, as a pilgrim; for others, as a journalist. The question is more relevant now than ever: in the UK Christianity continues to decline, even as it is increasingly thought to be linked with intolerant, fundamentalist attitudes.
Yet while identification with traditional forms of Christian religion is dropping, indicators show that interest in spirituality is rising. Why the disconnect? Why are so many asking, ''What''s so good about the good news?''
Yancey''s lifelong writing career has always focused on the search for honest faith that makes a visible difference for a world in pain. In his landmark book What''s So Amazing about Grace? he issued a benchmark call for Christians to be as grace-filled in their behaviour as they are in asserting their beliefs.
People inside and outside the church are still thirsty for grace, Yan
Trade Review
Philip Yancey is one of the most popular Christian writers... All too often Christianity appears to be bad news, not good news, but it doesn't have to be this way. * The Church Newspaper *
The whole of his writing is well founded in biblical and doctrinal reference. * Reflections Magazine *
The book helps us to recognise our failings and will challenge us to act with more grace, which is critical in actually living out what we believe. * The Reader *
