Philip Yancey

They explore by human body, a delicate fabric of cells as awesome and mysterious as the galaxies of space. They uncover eternal statements God has made in the very structures of ou r bodies.

This is a sequel to Yancey's first book, Where is God when it hurts.
"Why" is the question that never goes away, and he doesn't attempt to provide easy answers. He speaks of his own experiences with suffering, and of times he's been asked to counsel people who have been through horrible tragedies. One point he keeps coming back to is that actions speak louder than words in these situations.

I found this book not quiet as easy to read as I may have first expected. The subject Grace has perhaps, not been one of the easiest to consider with the vast divergence of opinions. But I do feel Yancey approached it with candour and a good sense of the Spirit.

Perhaps readers should sometimes look for books that will challenge them rather then support already set ideals and beliefs. So, if your looking for just such a book, then this is a good place to start.

In this book, Philip Yancey explores the concept of grace. He does a very good job and this book brought me to tears. It brought me back to my personal reckoning with grace was after see Les Miserables and Yancey discusses this in the book. Yancey discusses how forgiving the guilty really frees the forgiver. So true.
