What Good Is God? Philip Yancey

Journalist and spiritual seeker Philip Yancey has always struggled with the most basic questions of the Christian faith. The question he tackles in WHAT GOOD IS GOD? concerns the practical value of belief in God. His search for the answer to this question took him to some amazing settings in the US and around the world: Mumbai, India when the firing started during the terrorist attacks; at the motel in Memphis where Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated; on the Virginia Tech campus soon after the massacre; an AA convention in Chicago; and even to a conference for women in prostitution held in Greenlake, Wisconsin. At each of the 10 places he visited, his preparation for the visit and exactly what he said to the people he met each provided evidence that faith really does work when what we believe is severely tested. WHAT GOOD IS GOD? tells the story of Philips 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.
