Philip Yancey relives the stories behind 12 places where he was asked to come and speak - places where events had uncanny relationships with the very stories he brought with him to tell. Here is a message of grace for armchair travellers and Yancey fans alike.

Journalist and spiritual seeker Philip Yancey has always struggled with the most basic questions of the Christian faith. The question he tackles in What Good is God concerns the practical value of belief in God. His search for the answer to this question took him to some amazing settings around the world: Mumbai, India when the firing started during the terrorist attacks; at the motel where Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated; on the Virginia Tech campus soon after the massacre; an AA convention; and even to a conference for women in prostitution.
