How does a relationship with God really work How do I relate to a God who is invisible, when I©m never quite sure he©s there How do I know him How do I communicate with him How do I live my life growing in my understanding of him, living more and more with a conscious awareness of him, doing more of those things he indicates are good for me--and others Many have found the bright promises people make about God don't work. Others have seen God's promises work, but have stumbled, and want to believe again.

In Reaching for the Invisible God Yancey answers the question What Can We Expect from God with a surprising investigation of how the Christian life really does work.
