God talk stands always as imaginary and not convincing to all those who are outof touch withthesubstratum of existence. And
most people seem to bethat. And a large majority who believe inGod seems to me are simple emotional folks who when confronted with the hard unpalatable realities of life lean on to another a psychological prop called God to support them. There is nothing wrong with that. Often life with God does not always work like we thought. High expectations slam against the reality of personal weakness and unwelcome surprises. And the God who we have been told longs for our company may seem remote and emotionally unavailable. Philip Yancey takes on the
fundamental questions and God and our
relationship such as: Is God playing games? What we can count on this God for? How can we know God? Etc. And in examining these the author offers deep, satisfying insights that affirm and dignify the questions we are sometimes afraid to ask. He explores six fundamental areas: Our thirst for God, faith during times when God seem unavailable, the nature of God himself, our personal relationship with God, stages along the way, the end goal of spiritual transformation. Honest and deeply personal, here is straight talk on Christian living for the man and woman who wants more than pat answers to life imponderables.
