What on earth are we missing? Philip Yancey believes we are missing the supernatural hidden in everyday life.
In
Rumors of Another World, Yancey investigates the natural world and
discovers the supernatural hiding in plain view. He grapples with why
God made the world and what our role truly is, and seeks to answer the
question, ?How do I live in the natural world while expressing the
values of the supernatural??
Philip writes, ?I have come to
understand faith as the highest form of integrated encounter. Faith
puts together, assembles, re-orders, accepting the entire world as
God?s handiwork. We live among clues, like rescuers sifting through
pieces of stained glass shattered by a bomb, and only with a blueprint
or some memory of original design can we begin to connect the shards,
to assemble them into a pattern that makes sense of our world.
?Nature
and supernature are not two separate worlds, but different expressions
of the same reality. To encounter the world as a whole, we need a more
supernatural awareness of the natural world.?
Yancey invites
readers to join him on a journey of discovery. He challenges us to tune
into ?rumors of another world,? and connect the seen with the unseen.
He promises that the grace-filled result will be a life of beauty,
purpose, freedom, and faith.
