Cecilia Forbes iyaforbes — Yancey has many good insights. But the question "What good is God?" is not answered in a way that many would probably expect. He raises the issue in the very beginning of the book and then the rest of the book is spent describing Christians overcoming difficulties and the need for them to continue to overcome difficulties, mostly by being gracious. It isn't explained how any of this answers the question "What good is God?" but I'm sure most readers will figure out about half way through that they are supposed to see what good God is by looking at the triumphs of Christians amidst persecution, suffering, and sin. At the very end of the book he states this explicitly, but I think it might be better to state this upfront so the reader knows what the point of these (sometimes) circuitous stories are. Yancey is correct to point out that many Christian lives are evidence that God is good (in this non-moral sense). But, in my opinion, he could have done a better job at drawing out the explicit reasons God is good: at drawing out the explicit reason Christians can show grace, grow in grace, and forgive. He could have done a better job at drawing out the reason why a Christian life of grace and peace is different than a Buddhist life of grace and peace. In my opinion, a critical reader could walk away from this book thinking "In the end, Humanist ideals of harmony and grace are just as good as God. So why do I need that God stuff? It looks to me that the only thing that made a difference was the person's choice to grow in grace or the person's choice to be forgiving. So I'll just be a gracious person and you can keep the god-stuff!"

Anthi Koulama anthikoulama — My Review: If you are an animal lover then you would love to read all about Maggie’s Second Chance a gentle dog’s rescue. This is a true story about the important of responsibility shown by fourth grade students who read about how Maggie was going to be euthanized. The children were determined to go to the city council and convinced the members to set up a shelter that would house animals that would not be killed but can stay in the shelter till they are adopted. This is a sad story with a happy ending. Sad because pets like Maggie are the casualty of foreclosures who are often left indoors, without food, water or the comforts of a temperature controlled environment. We should remember that pets are living and breathing creature incapable of fending for itself and that when you get a pet you are responsible for fending for that pet. What a great illustration by Joe Hyatt who was able to show the true expression of Maggie.
