“Dios contra mí? ¿Por qué parece estar tan distante? Cuando leemos la historia de Job, podemos ver al otro lado del velo una competencia librada en el mundo invisible. En cambio, cuando se trata de nuestras propias pruebas, no vemos nada de esto. Cuando nos golpee la tragedia, viviremos en las sombras, sin tener conciencia de lo que está sucediendo en el mundo invisible. El drama por el que pasó Job se repetirá entonces en nuestra propia vida personal. Una vez más, Dios permitirá que su reputación dependa de la reacción de seres humanos inconstantes.”

Philip Yancey is an American Christian author. Fourteen million of his books have been sold worldwide, making him one of the best-selling evangelical Christian authors. Two of his books have won the ECPA's Christian Book of the Year Award: The Jesus I Never Knew in 1996, What's So Amazing About Grace in 1998. He is published by Zondervan Publishing.
Yancey was born in Atlanta, Georgia. When Yancey was one year old, his father, stricken with polio, died after his church elders suggested he go off life support in faith that God would heal him. This was one of the reasons he had lost his faith at one point of time. Yancey earned his MA with highest honors from the graduate school of Wheaton College. His two graduate degrees in Communications and English were earned from Wheaton College Graduate School and the University of Chicago.
Yancey moved to Chicago, Illinois, and in 1971 joined the staff of Campus Life magazine--a sister publication of Christianity Today directed towards high school and college students--where he served as editor for eight years. Yancey was for many years an editor for Christianity Today and wrote articles for Reader's Digest, The Saturday Evening Post, Publishers Weekly, Chicago Tribune Magazine, Eternity, Moody Monthly, and National Wildlife, among others. He now lives in Colorado, working as a columnist and editor-at-large for Christianity Today. He is a member of the editorial board of Books and Culture, another magazine affiliated with Christianity Today, and travels around the world for speaking engagements.
