About this ebook

Is God Unfair? Is God Silent? Is God Hidden? These questions are asked with piercing honesty and biblical certainty. Step by step, Philip Yancey retraces the long journey toward understanding the answers to these and other questions. If God desires our love, why does he sometimes put obstacles in the way? Why does he seem so distant? What can we expect from him after all? No part of the Bible goes unstudied in the author's search for God's hidden nature in this compelling and profound book. A Gold Medallion Award winner, Disappointment with God has had an overwhelming impact on many lives -- it can change yours.

Ratings and reviews

This is a difficult topic that I think this book explores in a down to earth practical way. The first half is a bit of an emotional roller coaster as he sets the stage but then it becomes very practical and educational without a lot of flowery language and fluff. It was very interesting and hard to put down. I will definitely read more of his books!

Yancey dares to acknowledge what the church often and quietly ignores; the reality of unmet expectations. Recommended reading for anyone whose life has not unfolded as easily as hoped.

Best book I ever read . It dares to ask questions we cannot ask. And it opens eye sight on point views I never had before. I would read it again
