What Good is God?

คำอธิบาย What Good is God? In Search of a Faith that Matters   “Few are better than Yancey in providing answers that can soothe a faith that’s almost been shattered.” CHARLES SWINDOLL In WHAT GOOD IS GOD? journalist and spiritual seeker Philip Yancey travels the globe in search of an answer to a query posed the world over. It’s a universal question. one that “occurs in some form to every person who experiences pain or death or poverty or unfair- other words, to everyone,” says Yancey. What good is God in a world where terrorists attack tourist sites in Mumbai, where women and children are sold into sexual slavery, where a gunman kills 32 students and staff on a college campus, and where six million people in South Africa alone suffer with HIVIAIDS? Or, on a more personal level, does faith really matter when you’re struggling with an addiction, when you get laid off from your job and your home is in foreclosure, or when chronic depression sets in? This book recounts Yancey’s search, including meetings with leaders of the under- ground church in China, with Dalits (untouchables) in India, with prostitutes, alcoholics, and Bible college students in the U.S., and with charismatic Christians in Johannesburg. Each stop provides a fascinating clue to answering life’s most profound questions. WHAT GOOD IS GOD? offers a compelling reading experience, as well as firsthand evidence that faith really does make a difference, even when belief is severely tested.
