More on Reaching for the Invisible God Study Guide:

"How do I relate to a God who is invisible when I’m never quite sure he’s there?"--Philip Yancey Life with God doesn’t always work like we thought.

The Reaching for the Invisible God Study Guide gives you a path in your personal quest for answers. Dovetailing with Philip Yancey’s book Reaching for the Invisible God, the twelve sessions are your opportunity to journey toward insights that affirm and dignify your most pressing questions--even the ones you may have found it hard to ask.

Description of Philip Yancey, author of Reaching for the Invisible God Study Guide:

In his best-selling book Reaching for the Invisible God, Philip Yancey offers deep, satisfying insights that affirm and dignify the questions we may have feared to ask. He explores six foundational areas: the thirst for God, God himself, the Holy Spirit, faith, growth, and spiritual transformation. In his honest and deeply personal style, Yancey presents straight talk for the man or woman who wants more than pat answers to life's imponderable questions. Ultimately, though, he shifts the focus from our human questions to the One who offers himself in answer - the God who invites us to reach for him and find him. Now with the help of this study guide, individuals and groups can join Yancey in the enterprise of encountering and establishing a relationship with the Invisible God. 144 pages, from Zondervan.
