tishPerth Western AustraliaAge: 55-65Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Excellent bookMay 8, 2012tishPerth Western AustraliaAge: 55-65Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5I 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.

Jim Parsons5 Stars Out Of 5April 23, 2008Jim ParsonsI 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.

Jim Parsons5 Stars Out Of 5June 2, 2008Jim ParsonsThis 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.

Gail5 Stars Out Of 5May 17, 2007GailYancy 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.
