Anne Lamott, bestselling author of Traveling Mercies and Bird by Bird

“Thank goodness we have Philip Yancey as a companion on the road to faith. He’s a writer known for honesty, and here’s his most trenchant and honest book yet. Here, too, is his genial wit and his spellbinding storytelling. He is teacher, critic, humble seeker, and inspiring interlocutor, all rolled into one. Newcomers to the life of faith, octogenarians who've lived their lives in the church and everyone in between will find Rumors of Another World both delightful and edifying.”

Lauren F. Winner, author of Girl Meets God, and Mudhouse Sabbath

“This is another outstanding book by Philip Yancey. Some churches have the kind of baggage which often puts people off. This book is a recipe for reversing that trend."

Lord Ian McColl, Professor of Surgery, Guy’s Hospital;
Member of the House of Lords London, England, UK

“More than any contemporary author, Phillip Yancey articulates my deepest fears, questions, and doubts about faith, and then answers each one with such profundity, that I am reminded why I ever dared believe in the first place. In Rumors of Another World Yancey brilliantly closes the gap between the world of the visible and invisible, making belief in God not only rational, but irresistible for even the most hardened skeptic.”

Peggy Wehmeyer, host, World Vision Radio
former religion correspondent, ABC News

“Reading Rumors of Another World is like sitting in a darkened room and watching it slowly fill with light; like experiencing the gradual sunrise at the end of a long, cold night. It whispers hope in a seemingly barren landscape, the provision of refreshment to the spiritually parched. This is Phillip Yancey at his most stirring and insightful.”

Steve Chalke, author of The Lost Message of Jesus

“Philip Yancey’s writing is simply brilliant! An affirming read that offers more than a glimmer of hope.”

Diane Louise Jordan, TV Presenter, Corporate Speaker

“Philip Yancey has a unique ability to discuss eternal wisdom without resorting to cliché and to explore contemporary dilemmas without becoming unbearably hip. He writes with humility, honesty, insight and passion. This book will challenge assumptions and expand horizons.”

Steve Turner, author and poet

“I have gained so much from Philip Yancey’s writings. With a combination of inspiring stories and honest reflections he has produced another fascinating book.”

Revd Nicky Gumbel, Alpha Chaplain
