 Great book!
Yancey does a great job exploring the Old Testament and showing it relevance to our lives today.
Assigned, yet enjoyed
I was assigned this book for a college course. I enjoyed it so much I have decided to purchase other books Yancey has written.
Excellent read
A very engaging book containing a non-schloarly "survey" of the Old Testament. Yancey writes very devotionally and with personal stories, like talking to an old friend.
often overlooked
another pretty good book by yancey. this one is a little unique in that it discusses some main books in the old testament. i think this is frequently overlooked and sometimes even omitted from Christian living. the gospels are certainly important but there is still a lot to learn from the old testament.
Asks Really Hard Questions About God
This guy is pretty amazing. He asks really tough questions of God. He doesn't approach God from an "evangelical, everything is wonderful in Jesus" approach. Instead it's "Life is hard and it has no good answers sometimes". These are the questions I would ask if I were honest enough with myself and God
He then comes up with some pretty incredible insights. His approach seems to be that our doubts and problems are not too big for God. It's just that God's ways are not our ways a lot of times.
One side note is that he tends to offend so called "religious" people. The only way to God is through Christ period. This is at the core of what he talks about. This book does not talk about good people going to heaven. It talks about people who have given their lives to Christ going to heaven. These can be two very different things and that can bug people at times
