  Miraculous cures. Angelic revelations. Sky-rending visions. Isn't God most obvious in the spectacular? Not always, says best-selling author Philip Yancey, in this compelling look at God's sometimes surprising ways. As a Christian journalist, he writes, I have learned to look for traces of God. And he has found God's footprints in many places: in the wonders of a polar bear, in the oppresive prisons of Peru and Chile, and even as he's reading the plays of Shakespeare. FINDING GOD IN UNEXPECTED PLACES is an inspirational collection of writings that document Yancey's unique and refreshing insight into the ways God reveals himself to us. Hardback edition previously published in UK by Summit. This is the first time the title has appeared in paperback.

  God is not only to be found in majestic cathedrals or supernatural visions, shows best-selling author Yancey, but also and often more powerfully in the unexpected places - the might of a polar bear, the oppression of a Peruvian prison cell or in the broken cry of Shakespeare's King Lear. As we discover God's footprints in increasingly unlikely places, so our understanding of his beauty, love and power continues to grow. Finding God in Unexpected Places will sharpen your spiritual vision and challenge you to look for God outside the four walls of the church. he may not be as far away as you think. In this updated edition of an already-popular title, Yancey has removed nine of the chapters that he felt had become dated, and added another fourteen brand new chapters.
