Publisher's summary

"How do I relate to a God who is invisible when I'm never quite sure he's there?" (Philip Yancey)

Life with God doesn't always work out like you think it should. High expectations slam against the reality of personal weaknesses and unwelcome surprises. And the God who, you've been told, wants a personal relationship with you may seem remote, emotionally unavailable. Is God playing games? What can you count on this God for? How can you know God? This relationship with a God you can’t see, hear, or touch - how does it really work?

Reaching for the Invisible God offers deep, satisfying insights to the questions you are sometimes afraid to ask. Honest and deeply personal, here is straight talk on Christian living for the listener who wants more than pat answers to life's imponderables. Ultimately, Yancey shifts the focus from your questions to the One who offers himself in answer.

"A brilliant book. It is both profound and simple, the best blend, in my view. Simple is neither shallow, nor simplistic. The sections on doubt and God's 'absence' are classics." (Rick Warren, pastor and author, The Purpose Driven Life)

How inscrutable God is, but He is available to us nonetheless.

I am always dejected, and then encouraged, to continue in my quest to know the Godhead better when reading Philip Yancey’s works . It is also comforting to realize that others, even scholars, have doubts and yet believe.
I was greatly relieved to have someone else acknowledge that they aren’t moved to raise their hands and demonstrably show great emotion when asked to join in Praise and Worship songs. Charles Wesley’s hymns do move me in adoration and worship of our Lord.

If you've got spiritual problems, look elsewhere

If you're having a relatively happy life and are seeking insight to a God that seems hard to reach, this is fine, but if you need something further, look elsewhere - not a whole lot to be found here.
