Grace Notes
When asked what books were on her night stand, Anne Lamott said, “a book of daily readings by Philip Yancey called Grace Notes. He is my favorite Christian writer—so human and regular and wise and sweet and funny—and has hair just like me, which only eight other people in the world do. (Art Garfunkel is another.)”

The Jesus I Never Knew
“This is the best book about Jesus I have ever read, probably the best book about Jesus in the whole century. Yancey gently took away my blinders and blazed the trail through my own doubting fears, pious know-it-all, and critical balderdash until I saw the Savior anew and thought I heard him ask me, ‘Now who do you say that I am?’ and I understood the question as I never had before.”
—Lewis B. Smedes, author and theologian

Reaching for the Invisible God
“Everybody in the world should read this book!”
—Annie Dillard, author of Pilgrim at Tinker Creek

“A brilliant book. It is both profound and simple, the best blend, in my view. Simple is neither shallow, nor simplistic. The sections on doubt and God’s ‘absence’ are classics.”
—Rick Warren, pastor and author of The Purpose Driven Life

Where Is God When It Hurts
“I started to read it thinking I was going to read a pleasant little easy-to-read book on the subject of pain. I finished feeling as if I had read a classic. It probes aspects of pain that C. S. Lewis never touches and draws upon the lives of suffering saints from John Donne to Joni Eareckson.”
—William J. Peterson, former Editor, Eternity Magazine

—Paul Harvey, radio commentator
“One of the most helpful treatments of the problem of evil that I’ve ever read…on a level that really speaks to people. If I were looking around for something to give to individuals who are going through travail or difficulty, that’s the book I’d recommend.”
—Vernon Grounds, theologian and seminary president
