New book - What Good Is God? by Philip Yancey
Call number: 201 YAN
In What Good is God? journalist and spiritual seeker Philip Yancey travels the globe in search of an answer to a query posed the world over. It’s a universal question, one that “occurs in some form to every person who experiences pain or death or poverty or unfairness – in other words, to everyone,” says Yancey. What good is God in a world where slavery, where a gunman kills 32 students and staff on a college campus, and where six million people in South Africa alone suffer with HIV/AIDS.
Or, on a more personal level, does faith really matter when you’re struggling with an addiction, when you get laid off from your job and your home is in foreclosure, or when chronic depression sets in?
This book recounts Yancey’s search, including meetings with leaders of the underground church in China, with Dalits (untouchables) in India, with prostitutes, alcoholics, and Bible college students in the US, and with charismatic Christians in Johannesburg. Each stop provides a fascinating clus to answering life’s most profound questions. What Good is God? Offers a compelling reading experience as well as firsthand evidence that faith really does make a difference, even when belief is severely tested.
Philip Yancey talks about this book in a clip from YouTube:
