Finding God in Unexpected Places

Sometimes we work so hard to see God we don't realize he's been right there all the time. In this new collection of penetrating, inspirational vignettes, best-selling author Philip Yancey helps us see signs of God's presence in all the overlooked and even ordinary times of life.Whether he is working out in a Chicago health club, talking to the chief propagandists of a formerly atheistic nation, enduring his first diet, or stumbling across a broadcast of Donahue, Philip Yancey has learned to detect the movement of God in everyday and unexpected places. Here he shares what he has seen, and with his hallmark insight and eloquence helps us sharpen our vision for signs of God's presence in our own lives.
