Description
Insights from Philip Yancey's personal pilgrimage away from and back to the church.
Why are there so many more professing Christians than churchgoing Christians Is it because something is wrong with the church
In his candid, thought-provoking manner, award-winning author Philip Yancey reveals the reasons behind his own journey back from skepticism to wholehearted participation in the church, and weighs the church's human failings against its compelling worth as the body of Christ. Yancey does not whitewash the church's faults, rather he sets them against the overwhelming balance of its strengths: its heart for God, its care for the hurting, its outreach to the lost, and its value as family and community.
