Reaching for the Invisible God [UNABRIDGED]

More on Reaching for the Invisible God:

"How do I relate to a God who is invisible when I’m never quite sure he’s there?" --Philip Yancey Life has a way of toppling our presumptions as Christians. Just when we’re confident we understand God, the bottom drops out. We lose a loved one. Our health fails. Or our own intellect begins to shout objections it once only whispered. Where is God with the answers? How are we supposed to relate to him, anyway? If you’ve sensed a disturbing disparity between God’s promises and life’s realities, between theology and experience, this tape is for you. Award-winning author Philip Yancey articulates the fundamental questions that confront us all: How does this Christian life really work? How do I communicate with God? If God heals, why hasn’t he healed my loved one? If he changes people, why am I still the same? How does God work—and how does he work for me? With trademark candor, Yancey trims away false expectations of God with the twin edges of Scripture and human experience. If you’re ready for a spiritual journey that reconciles faith with honesty, start here. Reaching for the Invisible God helps you move from tough questions to a deeper relationship with a God you can trust, love, and live for with all your heart. Read by Jay Charles.
