Product Description

When life is hard What Good Is God?

'My journalistic adventures have become a way to test the truth of what I write. Can "the God of all comfort" truly bring solace to a wounded place like Mumbai or the Virginia Tech campus? Will the scars from racism ever heal in the American South, let alone South Africa?

Speaker, journalist and bestselling author Philip Yancey has travelled the world speaking about his adventures in faith and observing Christianity 'on the ground'. For each of the ten destinations in What Good is God? he shares his own inspiring words of encouragement and reveals the compelling story behind each speaking engagement.

Whether he's addressing alcoholics or Bible college students, sex workers or C.S. Lewis enthusiasts, Yancey's experiences of redemption, hope and grace prove that when we are severely tested, faith really does matter.

What Good Is God? tells the story of Philip's journey--the background, the preparation, the presentations themselves. Here is a story of grace for armchair travelers, spiritual seekers, and those in desperate need of assurance that their faith really matters.
