Prayer: Does It Make Any Difference?

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 ...

The Jesus I Never Knew

Philip Yancey

Zondervan, 2002

Writings Outside the Canon Can Be Useful
So far, with the exception of a Children's Bible and the Bible itself, this is the only theological book I've ever read. I had the idea that rather than read various books ABOUT the Bible, why not just read the accepted Baptist canon over and over? I fancied my ...

Disappointment with God

Philip Yancey

Zondervan, 1997

If you think God is unfair, hidden, or silent, then you need to read this book
The death rate for humans is 100%. 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. ...

Reaching for the Invisible God

Philip Yancey

Zondervan, 2002

Love this book
the first time I tried to read this book...forget it...I couldn't get through it, but I love Yanceys works so I have set sail with this book. I am not one of those christians who has child like faith all the time. It is easy to have it when things are going well for ...

Everyone else has said it all
Everyone else has said it all about this book. I believe this book is a must for everyone's library. I think Yancey is brillant.

Fearfully and Wonderfully Made

Philip Yancey, Paul Brand

Zondervan, 1997

The World of Medicine Through Spiritual Eyes
Note: This review refers to an additional book, "In His Image" by the same author that I consider a "companion" to this one. In both these books the authors take us into the world of medicine as seen through spiritual eyes. The parallels between our own bodies and ...

The Jesus I Never Knew Study Guide

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 ...

Watch For The Light: Readings For Advent And Christmas

Dietrich Bonhoeffer, John Donne, ...

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. This is not a feel-good book, it is a faith-building book. Be prepared to be shaken up and for God ...

What's So Amazing About Grace?

Philip Yancey

Zondervan, 2002

Christian Manifesto
God if we could just live the grace filled lives of this book. This is without a doubt one of the all time greats

Prayer Participant's Guide: Six Sessions on Our Relationship with God (Groupware Small Group Edition)

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 ...

The Jesus I Never Knew Participant's Guide

Philip Yancey

Zondervan, 1998

Get to know the Christ that died for YOU!!
This book, by Phillip Yancey, has really touched my heart. He expresses with such impact the Jesus that died on the cross. He talks about the Beatitudes in a way you may have never thought about before. He is not shy about talking about his own sins and how he ...

Church: Why Bother?

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 ...

Bible Jesus Read, The

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 ...

In the Likeness of God: The Dr. Paul Brand Tribute Edition of Fearfully and Wonderfully Made and In His Image

Philip Yancey, Paul Brand

Zondervan, 2004

KRD
I borrowed these books (in their separate form) years ago and enjoyed them very much. I now want to buy this, so that I may read them again. I am an RN, so the details of anatomy and physiology (though not heavy with medical jargon) were facinating to me. God has ...
