Publisher's Summary

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?"

Yancey invites listeners 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.

Walk with Philip through the borderlands of belief, a place between doubt and faith, and see if you don't find a hopeful new perspective for your life.

Critic Reviews

"A work that is startling and original...[Philip] Yancey, one of the Christian market's best writers, shows a marvelous ability to speak to the world outside that market." (Publishers Weekly)

Delivers less than it promises

I was excited to read this book but now realise it's written mostly for surface thinkers rather than deep thinkers. The author spends more time trying to convince readers that there is another world rather than actually explore it. Barely any mention of the Holy Spirit or the spirit world. Good then for surface thinkers but doesn't really go very deep.

Great topic.

What a great insight. Explains a lot about the mess we're in. Excellent. Worth reading.
