debby weighs in 
I LOVED Reaching for the Invisible God. I’m reading Where Is God When It Hurts by him right now. I really enjoy his writing style – very humble and down to earth. Lots of good stuff to chew on. I read his stuff slowly so that I can savor it!
Yah, Juice, Yancy is one of my favorite authors. Actually, all of these guys are my favorite authors. You might like Mark Buchanan. He writes beautifully, but personally also.
I read “Celebration of Discipline” many years ago and it is one of my all time favorites. I can’t believe I’ve never read anything by Yancy!
Thanks for the list. I’m sure I’ll refer back to it!
didn’t expect a “trendy” book on your list!
