If you read this book looking for answers, you'll be disappointed. What Philip Yancey does instead is raise a series of questions about life, faith, the church and God, which prompt deep thinking and questioning from his readers. Worthwhile.

Yancy writes in an easy to read manner. This book begins to address some interesting questions eg Why is sex fun? which is a comment that if the prescence of pain and suffering can be difficult for Christians to think about then similarly the atheist has to deal with the 'problem' of pleasure.

This is a series of articles Philip Yancey wrote, to answer some interesting questions about the Christian life. Where did ractial hatred come from? What's the value of fiction? Do gorillas have mid-life crisis?
It's not the most in-depth or moving of his books; each chapter is just three or four

pages long, looking at one particular question in the style of an article. But there are some good anecdotes, some thought-provoking comments, and the usual excellent writing style I've come to expect from Yancey. Show Less
