Philip Yancey

Philip Yancey is a bestselling Christian author and journalist known for his deeply reflective works that explore faith, grace, and the human experience. Born in Atlanta, Georgia, Yancey was raised in a strict fundamentalist church environment that later inspired his candid examinations of religion and doubt. Over the course of his career, he has written more than 25 books, including "What’s So Amazing About Grace?," "The Jesus I Never Knew," "Where Is God When It Hurts?," and "Disappointment with God," many of which have sold millions of copies and been translated into dozens of languages.

Before becoming a full-time author, Yancey served as an editor and columnist for Christianity Today, where he developed a reputation for tackling complex theological questions with honesty and compassion. His writing often bridges the gap between skepticism and faith, offering readers permission to wrestle with difficult spiritual issues while discovering the radical nature of grace and forgiveness.

Throughout his career, Yancey has received numerous awards for his contributions to Christian literature and journalism. Despite facing personal challenges, including a near-fatal accident in 2007, he continues to write and speak about the transformative power of faith in a broken world.
