Philip Yancey is a writer and journalist whose books - including Soul Survivor, When Life Hurts and What's So Amazing About Grace - have inspired millions and won countless awards around the world.
'As a Christian journalist, I have learned to look for traces of God,' writes Philip Yancey. 'I have found those traces in unexpected places: in atheistic nations, slums and a health club ... in prisons, orphanages and even in the plays of Shakespeare.
'I have found malaise in the midst of plenty and stirring hope in circumstances that should have produced despair. I have found evil in the most unexpected places, and also God.'
Since its first publication a decade ago, this acclaimed collection of writings has encouraged readers to sharpen their spiritual vision and look for God beyond the four walls of a church.
Recognising that the world has changed dramatically since that first edition, Yancey has now substantially revised and updated the book. This volume contains a new introduction and fourteen previously unpublished chapters, including a new section, 'Finding God in the Rubble', which responds to the tragedy and repercussions of 11 September 2001.
God is not only to be found in majestic cathedrals or supernatural visions, shows best-selling author Yancey, but also and often more powerfully in the unexpected places - the might of a polar bear, the oppression of a Peruvian prison cell or in the broken cry of Shakespeare's King Lear. As we discover God's footprints in increasingly unlikely places, so our understanding of his beauty, love and power continues to grow. Finding God in Unexpected Places will sharpen your spiritual vision and challenge you to look for God outside the four walls of the church. He may not be as far away as you think. In this new edition of an already-popular title, Yancey has removed nine of the chapters that he felt had become dated, and added another fourteen brand new chapters.
