Description

As the world entered the long night of 2020, Philip Yancey turned to John Donne s Devotions, a nearly 400-year-old manuscript, for guidance. In it, he found a trustworthy companion for living through a global pandemic–or any other crisis. As Yancey says, Nothing had prepared me for Donne s raw account of confrontations with God.
By faithfully and poetically rendering Donne s 17th century prose into 21st century vernacular, Yancey opens up this classic work to a new generation of readers. He presents these Job-like meditations on sickness and suffering, alongside his own reflections, in a series of 30 readings that examine the frailty of the human heart, the goodness and sovereignty of God, and the eternal hope of the Resurrection.
