    I bought the hard copy of this book (about 10 of them for 99cents each), the bargain of the century! I gave them all away even my last copy and now can't purchase them anywhere in that form. Really disappointed. A brilliant little book to read and give away.

    I believe this is Philip Yanceys best book - at least in those I have read. The book is filled with stories, examples, and insights, and the content is really quite strong. As an academic writer myself, the book represents a lesson on how to write a book, and it is not difficult to see how Yancey collected his notes and insights over the years to organize the content. I found the book filled with small, wonderful insights and I have carefully taken notes throughout the book to add to my own background and work. I recommend the book and have, in fact, purchased multiple copies for gifts to friends. The book gainfully rewards a serious read.

    This is the best Yancey book I have read. It is filled with insights from other sources; and, as an author, it is easy to see underneath the text to understand how Yancey organizes his writing through an extensive note-taking system. Although I understand the critical reviewer's note that it was difficult to see a singular unifying thread that would explain what this book was about, I believed it is the metaphor of rumors that drives the writing -- thus, the book is more a collection of different thoughts/hints/rumors than it is a resolution of a single strand of thinking.

    Yancy says this book is written for those who live in the borderlands of belief. My Christian faith is solid, but I enjoyed the book just-the-same. It was honest, thought-provoking and inspiring. Quotes from Lenin (page 124) and Darwin (page 196) and the story of Mandela's Truth and Reconciliation Commission (pages 223,224) should be read by every Christian. I checked the book out from a library and thought I'd just skim it, but I ended up reading it from cover to cover and then buying my own copy. I would call this an updated C.S. Lewis style apologetic.

    Well worth the time reading it. Answers questions and also asks some thought provoking ones.
