FINDING GOD IN UNEXPECTED PLACES will reassure the searcher that the God of his or her understanding can stand closer than anticipated at any given time. Philip Yancey, the author of other inspirational volumes, including WHERE IS GOD WHEN IT HURTS, shares the experiences that formed his belief that the Divine never goes too far away. With six far-reaching sections leading the reader to seek God in, for example, a fractured society, on the job, and among the headlines, Yancey encourages a new look at ordinary daily situations. In a friendly, conversational tone, he presents a myriad of moments where the presence of God has manifested itself in his life, and proves by example that this can happen to anyone who pays attention. From working in New Orleans to working out in a Chicago health-club, from Prague and Russia to the church next door, Yancey demonstrates that God is not only in the details, but also in the most everyday of scenes. Anyone looking for a little touch of the holy among the daily humdrum will find warmth and comfort in this revelatory collection of vignettes and ideas.
