Philip Yancey is one of the world's bestselling writers on spirituality, and brings a refreshing honesty to any subject, daring to broach the real issues people need dealing with. This book brings together a range of talks where the audience and topic combine together to create a unique dynamic and really brought the best out of Yancey's uniquely honest style. From sex workers to recovering alcoholics, Chinese businessmen to Cambridge dons, and from talks on the horrors of the Mumbai hotel terrorists to the US civil rights movement, and the rebellion of his Bible college days to the uncertainties of the church in the Middle East, this book explores an extraordinary range of situations where the grace and favour of God nonetheless always comes through, and where Yancey's presence has clearly been in the right place at the right time.

Schweitzer Klassifikation
Author of CBC Book of the Year 2007 - PRAYER Philip Yancey is one of the most popular and acclaimed religious writers of our day. His searching and refreshingly honest books, which include FINDING GOD IN UNEXPECTED PLACES, SOUL SURVIVOR and PRAYER have encouraged and inspired millions of people around the world. Philip admits that he lost his faith in a racist church and made a living out of being a doubter and sceptic. After he came back to his faith, he wrote books about his journey by 'circling the edges' of common issues and eventually moving on to topics like Jesus, grace and most recently prayer.
