books by Philip Yancey     books:       Prayer: Does It Make Any Difference?64 reviews Philip Yancey Zondervan, 2006 THANK GOD FOR YANCEY Books on prayer are difficult to write, with many being so HEAVY. Philip's inspirational and unique writing style helps us to understand God's own heart regarding prayer. He (God) loves us to be natural and spontaneous when we converse with Him, as though He is our best friend, which of course He is.             What's So Amazing About Grace?188 reviews Philip Yancey Zondervan, 1997 Christian Manifesto God if we could just live the grace filled lives of this book.

The rate of suffering is 100%. In fact, if you are fortunate enough to live to an old age, you will have probably endured much pain and suffering in your lifetime and you may very well suffer some more as you approach physical death. Why is that? Why did God design the world this way? Isn't this unfair? These were some of the questions I asked after watching my ...             Fearfully and Wonderfully Made (New Christian Classics) Paul Brand; Philip Yancey Zondervan, 1993             In his image8 reviews Paul W Brand, Philip Yancey Zondervan Pub.

Orbis Books, 2004 Loved it!! I love that this series, including "Bread and Wine:Readings for Lent and Easter," because it challeneges our complacent culture-dictated experience of Advent and Easter.

I don't question my problems or ...             Finding God in Unexpected Places12 reviews Philip Yancey Random House, Inc., 1995 nice collection of essays One of the hardest things about reading or reviewing a book is to accept it for what it is, rather than what it isn't. If you are looking for one of Yancey's highly focused theological/apologetic works, this isn't it. If you want one of the most insightful minds in the Christian community looking at the way God is at work in the world, this book is for you. Largely culled from his back page ...             NIV Student Bible, Revised14 reviews Zondervan, 2002 Excellent Translation This is an excellent translation of the Bible, well organized into paragraphs and written in modern, proper English. But especially valuable are the insights included throughout the Bible written by Philip Yancey. Having read some of his other books, I was expecting applicable and well thought-out points, and I was not disappointed. This Bible is excellent for helping a new Christian learn ...             The Jesus I Never Knew Study Guide9 reviews Philip Yancey Zondervan, 1997 A Child Called Jesus Decades ago when George Lucas presented STAR WARS for the first time, certain movie reviewers criticized it for its "silliness" and that "it would be easily forgotten." How wrong they were, and how embarrassed they now must be. Variety has criticized films that are ahead of their time. Take for example the TV movie A CHILD CALLED JESUS, starring Matteo Bellina. Variety complains about long shots, ...             Where Is God When It Hurts? : A Comforting, Healing Guide For Coping With Hard Times1 review Philip Yancey Zondervan, 2001 Understanding the Purpose of Pain or Hurt... My oldest son moved to Heaven in August of 2006... I go to a church where they think that God's will is ALWAYS to heal... then why didn't He heal my son...?

Those people need to ...             Prayer Participant's Guide: Six Sessions on Our Relationship with God (Groupware Small Group Edition)2 reviews Philip Yancey Zondervan, 2007 Another thought-provoking book from Philip Yancey Good or bad, I'm probably biased because Philip and I were in school together. However, this book, like the many books Philip has written before, explores an aspect of belief normally left untouched or unanswered. Philip writes as most people think and expresses those thoughts carefully and logically. He does not give you answers but rather makes you realize the answers for yourself. If you ...             Bible Jesus Read Participant's Guide, The42 reviews Philip Yancey Zondervan, 2002 Asks Really Hard Questions About God This guy is pretty amazing. He asks really tough questions of God. He doesn't approach God from an "evangelical, everything is wonderful in Jesus" approach. Instead it's "Life is hard and it has no good answers sometimes". These are the questions I would ask if I were honest enough with myself and God He then comes up with some pretty incredible insights. His approach seems to be that ...             Church: Why Bother?14 reviews Zondervan, 2001 Yancey inspires us again! As usual, Philip Yancey explores the issue of church worship in detail. He boldly surveys the subjects of corporate worship, fellowship, rejection, acceptance, Biblical studies, etc. He is one of the best Christian writers of this generation and continues to amaze me with his profound and prolific insights. A very interesting book to say the least.             Rumors of Another World: What on Earth Are We Missing?61 reviews Philip Yancey Zondervan, 2003 Challenging and Gospel-based Phil is able to separate the Gospel from our context, then apply it to our modern culture. His writing brings me hope and joy about the future while reminding me of my responsibility in furthering the Kingdom of God. He also includes some fantastic stories I've never heard before about individuals who have quietly and humbly served the Lord.             Gift of Pain, The15 reviews Paul Brand, Philip Yancey Zondervan, 1997 Paul Brand, the eloquent voice of hand surgery I am a hand therapist, an occupational therapist who specializes in hand and upper extremity conditions and injuries. Paul Brand was an amazing man, an inspiring teacher and writer. Of course Philip Yancey coauthored this book, but this is Brand's own voice. It reads much like his professional writing, with clear and vivid analogies to explain difficult concepts.
