	Whosoever: Amazed by Grace
		Yancey's steadfast support for his friend Mel, and his own struggle with the sinfulness of homosexuality is documented in the book and is one of the most honest accounts of grace in the face of struggle that I believe I have ever read.
		Philip Yancey: I wrote it for people in the "borderlands of faith," people who have a spiritual sense but who, for a variety of reasons, have not found a home in the church.
		Yancey: I'm a great advocate of doubt, because it's what drew me back to faith: I began doubting some of the crazy things my church told me! I don't think the difficulty is incorporating doubt in our lives; doubt is going to come whether or not we desire it.

	What Is So Amazing About Grace? by Philip Yancey :: Book Reviews (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Yancey told some marvelous stories, pointed clearly to ways in which we Christians often live in "ungrace," encouraged us to think through the issue of grace and make proper adjustments -- much of this was good.
		Yancey’s method of dealing with a homosexual, who is also a church leader, may seem like grace to him, it may seem like what Jesus might do, but it is clearly out of sync with the teachings and examples of Scripture.
		Yancey’s book is worth reading, but only by those who have learned to filter all concepts through the grid of Scripture.

		Yancey still struggles with authority and with the legacy of doubt that followed being raised in a racist and legalistic church.
		Yancey brings up “the questions you hide deep inside you because if you voice them, someone may think you are not a Christian at all,” says Beryl Carpenter ’68, who attended two of Yancey’s lectures at Seattle Pacific.
		Yancey launched a bold search for truth in his college years, and while his incredulity didn’t always endear him to administrators, he was a gifted student.

		Yancey believes the message of the church, at least in the West, has been corrupted by a Madison Avenue style ethos.

		Yancey said his honesty comes "as a reaction to being raised in a church that was not honest.

	Philip Yancey - General Teachings/Activities
		Moreover, Yancey refers to the ecumenical/radically liberal Chicago Declaration II as "the conference of evangelical stalwarts." Yancey also defends Billy Graham, saying, "He [Graham] was savaged for inviting Catholics onto his platform, for golfing with John Kennedy, for meeting with Jews and liberal Christians, for traveling to communist countries.
		Yancey seems to have forgotten (if he ever knew) that truth must take priority over love, and that love without truth is a false unity.
		Yancey begins his article by saying, "In earlier times, some theologians wrote 'natural theologies' by first explicating the wonders of nature and then gradually moving toward theism, revelation, and Christian doctrine." This is a weak foundation on which to rest.

	Covenant News - Yancey: Mountain Climbing Helps Keep Perspective
		ROSEMONT, IL (March 6, 2003) - Philip Yancey has climbed to the top of the mountain in Christian writing circles and is considered one of the most poignant voices of the evangelical world.
		Yancey, an editor at large for Christianity Today and author of 16 books and more than 600 articles, talked about his unlikely rise to fame and his hopes for the future in evangelical America during an interview with Covenant Communications following the 2003 Midwinter Pastors Conference of the Evangelical Covenant Church in February.
		When he's in a foreign land, however, Yancey is less known and he often speaks as much as a representative of the United States as one representing evangelical Christianity.

		Yancey's judgments at first seem to have that depth of insight, at least until one realizes the pattern of those he praises and condemns.
		Perhaps the closest thing to a succinct definition Yancey gives is on p.231 when he defines his word "ungrace" as, quite simply, "meanness and inflexibility." It may sound less than profound, but that is precisely the dividing line between the good and evil in Yancey's world, between the "grace" and the "ungrace" in his mind.
		Yancey has no wariness at all about talking about homosexuality, so long as he doesn't have to call it a sin.

	FaithfulReader.com - RUMORS OF ANOTHER WORLD: What on Earth Are We Missing? by Philip Yancey
		For Yancey, the great divide separating belief and unbelief can be reduced to one question: Is the visible world around us all there is? Those unsure of the answer, he writes, are in the "borderlands of belief" --- a place between doubt and faith --- a term he credits writer Mark Buchanan with coining.
		To find out what he was missing, Yancey began to listen to his own longings and desires, tracing "dispersed clues (or rumors) to their original source and significance." Then, he opened his heart to the invisible world and experienced what he calls his second conversion: rediscovering the natural world from a new viewpoint.
		One Yancey trademark is that he liberally salts the text with quoted material, which can be enriching for the reader who is introduced to new authors of interest.

	Rumours of Another World by Philip Yancey
		Philip Yancey almost lost his faith, driven away by the Church and its lack of grace.
		Yancey writes books for himself, a personal odyssey, but at the same time he has an uncanny knack of asking the same questions that bothers all of us, and at the same time, sometimes providing some answers.
		Yancey reconises there are a lot of people, maybe the vast majority, who occupy a nether region, he calls it the borderlands, outside the Church, but not outside faith.

	Only Half of Grace -- by Kevin D. Paulson
		Yancey's book has doubtless contributed to what might be called the "grace saturation" in numerous books, sermons, articles, Sabbath School lessons, and other features of contemporary Adventism.
		Yancey opens his book with the tale of a Chicago prostitute who rented out her two-year old daughter for kinky sex.
		Where Yancey shines best, to be sure, is in his much-needed critique of the Religious Right and its use of politics as a means of addressing moral problems.

	Philip Yancey - Disappointment with God
		Finally he looked at me and said, "You know, Philip, I don't think I've ever been disappointed with God." This was a great shock to me. I was amazed.
		I had specifically chosen Douglas because I thought of all the people I knew, he was the one most likely to be disappointed, even angry at God, because of the unfairness he had seen.
		Philip, in the midst of all the pain in the world and, as you describe it, the need for that hang-on-at-any-cost faith, where does the peace of God come in that leads to joy, which in turn leads to the sense of well being spoken of so much in the scripture?

		Yancey’s career jeopardizing subject matter comes in the form of a story about a former Christian leader, once in the seat of religious power, later turned homosexual activist.
		Yancey does not let this fact deter him from his friendship with the man, and even follows him to a gay rally in Washington D.C., purely as an observer.
		Though I do not know the cause of the controversy, I suppose Yancey’s concern did not lie with the story itself, but that he fails to condemn the man for his actions.
