Rick Shrader‘s Review:

This book confirmed my growing uneasiness with Yancey’s recent writings. Having enjoyed older books such as Disappointment With God, it now seems to be Yancey’s mission to be as accepting of all points of view as possible while strongly criticizing his conservative background. Speaking of Catholics and Russian Orthodox, “For them the sacrament of communion, or Mass, is the center of worship; they serve as prompters.” But of his “Southern Fundamentalism,” “a harsh church, full of . . . empty humility.”

We are told that they […]
