Summary: One of Kind
Comment: Philip Yancey is my favorite author. Period. And in this book he outdoes himself. Yancey writes about difficult issues in a direct, searching, and honest way. Yancey doesn't pretend to have all the answers, which is what makes him and this book such an excellent spiritual guide. A journalist by vocation, Yancey is wonderful at tackling thorny theological issues and writing about them in ways that the ordinary reader can understand. In this particular book Yancey looks at people who have been disappointed in some way by God. Yancey does a great job of outlining what Lutheran theologians call the "The Theology of the Cross" (as opposed to "The Theology of Glory"), although he doesn't use that term himself.

Summary: He has been reading my mind
Comment: Philip Yancey has obviously been recording my thoughts, because I found many of them written down in _Disappointment with God_. Mr. Yancey asks many questions that are probably considered "sacreligious" in most Christian circles. It was so refreshing for an author to finally tackle these questions instead of skirt them and point the blame back at the Christian asking them, i.e., "you need more faith," "just trust God and everything will be OK," or some other cliche. At times Mr. Yancey would discuss something, and I'd think, "Yeah but..." and then he'd ask the same "yeah but" question. It gets so tiring hearing all the "if you're not hearing from God something must be wrong with your life" cliches, and I so enjoyed a BIBLICAL perspective on the questions and thoughts that I have had during times of God's silence. Theologically I'd have to ponder on some of the comments that Mr. Yancey makes, but overall this is a MUST READ for anyone experiencing any sort of trial and wanting to know where is God and why won't He answer me???

Summary: No Longer Dissappointed!
Comment: No longer dissappointed with God, all I need to know is that God is still God and His ways are definitely not our ways Thank the Lord! Because if it was up to foolish me I'd have taken away cancer from someone I love and given it to someone else for very selfish reasons. This book has many good points but frankly it's wasn't that helpful to me. I read it but I could put it down... a lot.
