Philip Yancey Falls from Grace
Phil Yancey has written a shelf of books on spiritual topics. There’s no doubt he’s been successful, reportedly selling 15 million copies to a primarily evangelical audience. In 1998 I heard Yancey speak at a Festival of Faith & Writing at Calvin College (now University). I appreciated his straightforward way of approaching theology. In the […]

| So disappointed with this book. It is beautifully written and I enjoyed the cast of characters throughout much of the book. But in the end there are two stories of sexual abuse against women -- and the focus is exclusively on how the men react to thi ...more | |

"This is my second book by WKK. I had some issues with the first (This Tender Land) but heard rave reviews about this newest release so was excited to listen. Y’all, I don’t even know where to start. I get it— everywhere in the US was racist, sexist, "

"I absolutely loved this author’s previous book and couldn’t wait to read his newest. Unfortunately I just couldn’t get into this. Too many characters and I never really felt I got to know them…too much sexual violence against women written in detail "

"I am really, really over the use of sexual violence against women and girls as a plot device to move along the stories of men. The women in this book deserved so much better than this "

“Once you survive trauma, outrage is the warning bell that sounds when you hear truth being distorted by those who haven’t passed through shadowed valleys. Because you have endured trauma, you can detect their lies. Maybe it’s like having survived the measles or the flu. Your body now has some small measure of immunity and recognizes that same poison when it tries to invade again. I wish you would never have to know trauma. But when trauma does appear in your path, don’t fear it. There are things you can’t fight. Still, by God’s power, you will prevail. Our God brings life out of death. Sometimes there is no option except to let the waves of trauma engulf you for a time. Just trust that they will recede again. What’s left in you will rise up afterward, and that will be enough. More than enough! There’s more to you than you know. There is more to God than you know. Trust that the trauma will leave gifts in its wake—hard gifts like outrage and perspective. Maybe this is what faith is: this trusting that God will bring something new and beautiful out of the pain.”
