Publisher's Synopsis
Philip Yancey searches for answers to the questions we rarely ask aloud - Is God silent? Is God unfair? Where is God in our emotional pain? A searingly honest and powerful book that takes our doubts seriously, yet points to a faith we can live by and hope that will not let us down. When you are in doubt, God can seem very distant. Philip Yancey looks at how faith survives when tragedy strikes, or in time of great need, when the evidence for a loving God seems weakest. Christians are often lead to expect constant evidence of God's power improving their lives. In reality, life is not like that, yet if God is really always there, what is he doing? And why does he seem to hurt those who devote themselves to him? Philip Yancey tackles the elusive subject of faith, as seen through the eyes of those who doubt. He reminds us that even when you do not see God watching, he sees you.
