If this is God's world, why doesn't it look more like it? For anyone who's ever wondered if the visible world is all there is—for anyone who feels like an empirical understanding of reality is missing something—bestselling author and fellow pilgrim Philip Yancey comes beside you to explore this tug between the visible and the invisible.
In the gentle, understanding voice of one who's been through skepticism, Yancey investigates questions like:
