Philip Yancey writes Christian non-fiction about grace, suffering, doubt, prayer and the difficulty of reconciling faith with painful experience. What's So Amazing About Grace? examines forgiveness and unearned grace through biblical material, personal stories and public conflicts, while Where Is God When It Hurts? addresses physical and emotional suffering without presenting easy explanations. The Jesus I Never Knew revisits the Gospel accounts in an attempt to separate the figure of Jesus from familiar cultural assumptions, and Prayer: Does It Make Any Difference? explores the practice and expectations surrounding prayer.
