Raised by an impoverished widow who earned room and board as a Bible teacher in 1950s Atlanta, Philip Yancey and his brother, Marshall, found ways to venture out beyond the confines of their eight-foot-wide trailer. But when Yancey was in college, he uncovered a shocking secret about his father's death-a secret that began to illuminate the motivations that drove his mother to extreme, often hostile religious convictions and a belief that her sons hadbeen ordained for a divine cause. Searching for answers, Yancey dives into his family origins, taking us on an evocative journey from the backwoods of the Bible Belt to the bustling streets of Philadelphia; from trailer parks to church sanctuaries; fromfamily oddballs to fire-and-brimstone preachers and childhood awakenings through nature, music, and literature. In time, the weight of religious and family pressure sent both sons on opposite paths-one toward healing from the impact of what he calls a "toxic faith," the other into a self-destructive spiral. Where the Light Fell is a gripping family narrative set against a turbulent time in post-World War II America, shaped by the collision of Southern fundamentalism with the mounting pressures of the civil rights movement and Sixties-era forces of social change. In piecing together his fragmented personal history and his search for redemption, Yancey gives testament to the enduring power of our hunger for truth and the possibility of faith rooted in graceinstead of fear"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Yancey, Philip. 600 10 $a Yancey, Philip $x Family. 650 0 $a Christian biography $z United States. 650 0 $a Authors, American $y 20th century $v Biography. 650 0 $a Authors, American $y 21st century $v Biography. 941 $a 27 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20240417015819.0 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409041250.0 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240305021328.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010025513.0 952 $l CRPC926 $d 20230727011523.0 952 $l KWPE446 $d 20230304010554.0 952 $l WBPB115 $d 20230209023922.0 952 $l HRPE845 $d 20221018010146.0 952 $l GHPD771 $d 20220818013106.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20220804024209.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20220630013346.0 952 $l KJPF566 $d 20220527011036.0 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20220303010245.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20220217011210.0 952 $l VKPE334 $d 20220208010835.0 952 $l DYPD423 $d 20220108010228.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20211207011131.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20211202010650.0 952 $l XBPE737 $d 20211102020414.0 952 $l TFPI826 $d 20211102011746.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20211102011237.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20211102010814.0 952 $l S2PA501 $d 20211101143851.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20211021010933.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20211007010906.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20211001010122.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722065052.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=86261D5EEAB411EB95DB475F3FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
