In „Spuren der Gnade“ nimmt Philip Yancey den Leser mit auf seine Reisen um die Erde. Aber zugleich ist dieses Buch eine Reise zum Mittelpunkt des Glaubens. Radikal und ehrlich stellt Yancey die Frage, was der christliche Glaube „bringt“, wenn er extremen Härtetests ausgesetzt wird. Seine Erfahrungsberichte berühren zutiefst, wühlen auf, fordern heraus. Gott ist nicht beweisbar. Aber wo Seine Gnade Menschen verändert, begegnen wir Seinen unverwechselbaren Spuren.

Exploring the presence of God in unexpected locations, the book highlights how divine traces can be found in diverse settings, from urban slums to natural wonders and cultural works. It emphasizes the importance of recognizing these signs and seizing opportunities to share hope with those who need it most.

Hledání možnosti, jak navázat vztah s neviditelným Bohem a co to všechno pro člověka obnáší, je středobodem Yanceyho práce. V ní přináší řadu osobních svědectví, postřehů, pochybností, ale i nově odkrývá doposud nepoznané dimenze víry, naděje a lásky. Yanceyho mimořádný vypravěčský talent vtáhne čtenáře do mozaiky vtipných i dojemnýchpříběhů a zároveň úvah, které spíše než jednoznačné odpovědi přinesou mnohem zásadnější otázky a s nimi i pronikání do hlubin tajemství vztahu s Neviditelným.

Philipp Yancey hatte anfangs Schwierigkeiten mit dem Alten Testament, entdeckte jedoch dessen spannende und lebensnahe Aspekte, wie die von Hiob und Prediger. Seine Auseinandersetzung ist typisch für Yancey: brillant und leidenschaftlich.
