Summary: Look OUT . . . Possible Thought Provoking Material !
Review: This book is not the "typical" book that I would read (I tend toward business books), but I found it very thought provoking. It also addresses an area that I think many people don't really have a good handle on . . . their relationship with religion and/or spirituality.As I said in the title, be careful. This book could get you thinking and who know what trouble that could cause !

Summary: Perfect gift for the person struggling with belief today
Review: I'm not the sort of person who normally reads books that would fall into the category of religious literature. Like many people today, I'm not entirely comfortable with discussions of faith and religion. Most books on faith seem too preachy and earnest, and they don't really speak to my life. But I was raised attending church, and there are times when I wonder why I don't believe all the things that were so easy to believe when I was a kid, but seem so hard to believe now, when the world seems very scientific and certain. Yancy's book asked many of the same questions I often ask myself, and didn't come across as preachy. I think this is the sort of book any young person today could read and learn from, without feeling like they were being proselytized to.

Summary: Writing at its best
Review: I have never read Philip Yancey before. I now know what I have been missing. His writing is extremely concise and flowing. His thoughts are my own, but taken to a new level. A level I am glad I was able to visit when reading this book. It is hard understanding the two worlds of heaven and earth. This book can help those struggling for comprehension concerning our spiritual journey. I highly recommend this book.

Summary: A book not only for the christian reader
Review: Rumors of Another World is a fascinating book by best-selling author Philip Yancey for anyone who has ever looked around and wondered, "Is this all there is?".Rumors of Another World is brimming with questions, stories, and ideas about the search for "another world". Unlike other books about faith, Rumors of Another World is honest about the lifelong struggle to believe. "I am where you are", explains the author. "I'm an ordinary person trying to figure this out. I'm a human being and I love, I weep, my friends die, I experience beauty..." Rumors of Another World eavesdrops on this inner dialogue. Rumors of Another World is a book for anyone who has ever looked around and wondered, "Is this all there is?...There's gotta be something more." When I first saw this book I thought it was just another christian non-fiction book. After reading through it though, I realize you can use the principles in this book no matter what religion you are.

Summary: Interesting...
Review: **** Being in the world but not of the world is a challenge for most Christians. Recognizing that fact, popular author Phillip Yancey deals with that in his newest book. We live in a world that demands that things be concrete and proveable to be real, but at the same time, faith insists that what is the most real can not be seen, touched, or heard except deep inside. With touching, illuminating illustrations, Mr. Yancey guides readers through this other world that our souls live in, the world that gives the substance to the one that we can see. Your reality will not be the same after reading Rumors of Another World, but it will be better. **** Reviewed by Amanda Killgore

Summary: Tell the whole truth, Mr. Yancey!
Review: Philip Yancey says "I am just like you, an ordinary person trying to figure things out..." Hogwash. What the book jacket doesn't tell you is that Yancey is not only Christian, he is the editor of Christianity Today. He claims to be writing from "the region between belief and unbelief." But though the book is not an apologetic work, Yancey has clearly already figured things out. I had been hoping to find a fellow searcher; instead I find a know-it-all who thinks doesn't think that unbelievers can conceive of anything beyond the physical. Yancey covers the ground broken so capably by C.S. Lewis, but with less content and more repetition of banal truisms. From worn-out phrases about nature ("thin mountain air, a carpet of wildflowers, a ptarmigan's nest...") to threadbare anecdotes about declining morality ("a sniper opens fire on strangers; a mother drowns her two children...") to the dubious assertion that believers have better sex: Yancey says it all, and then says it all again. If you're looking for a book to confirm your hopes and beliefs, this is the one. But if you wanted a guide for your "dark night of the soul," keep looking.
