Reaching for the invisible God : what can we expect to find? / [print] Philip Yancey. - Grand Rapids, Mich. : ZondervanPublishingHouse, 2000] - 301 pages ; 24 cm
Part One: Thirst: Our longing for God -- Born again breech -- Thirsting at the fountainside -- Part Two: faith: When God seems absent, indifferent, or even hostile -- Room for doubt -- Faith under fire -- Two-handed faith -- Living in faith -- Mastery of the ordinary -- Part Three: God: Contact with the invisible -- Knowing God, or anyone else -- Personality profile -- In the name of the Father -- Rosetta stone -- The go-between -- Part Four: Union: A partnership of unequals -- Makeover -- Out of control -- Passion and the desert -- Spiritual amnesia -- Part Five: Growth: Stages along the way -- Child -- Adult -- Parent -- Part Six: Restoration: The relationship's end -- Paradise lost -- God's irony -- An arranged marriage -- The fruit of Friday's toil.
Reaching for the Invisible God: What Can We Expect to Find? is Yancey at his best--wrestling with difficult questions and refusing to give pat answers. In our quest to know God, he offers this caveat: "The more personal conception of God we have, the more unnerving are the questions about him."
