"I wanted a God who would roll up his sleeves and step into my life with power." Is God unfair? Is God silent? Is God hidden? These three questions - that Christians often wonder about, but seldom ask aloud - are asked with piercing honesty in Philip Yancey's most profoundly personal book yet. These questions, spoken by people suffering and in pain, are answered with clarity, richness, and Biblcial certainty. --Back cover.
