... will appeal to young adult readers, especially those who are questioning their beliefs after being raised in Christian homes. Publishers Weekly Well-written, engaging, and authentic... CBA Retailers + Resources Tables in the Wilderness:A Memoir of God Found, Lost, and Found Again is a record of Preston Yancey's personal journey through a crisis in faith while he is an undergraduate student at Baylor University in Texas. He questions his Southern Baptist upbringing while at the same time trying to regain his intimate relationship with God; he can no longer hear God's voice like he could when he was younger. Preston Yancey has written the memoir in a stream of consciousness style. This enables readers to experience firsthand the moments of worry, doubt, indecision, and frustration Preston goes through as he tries to figure out which denomination is the right one for him and why God is silent. Preston's journey leads him to gaining a better understanding of Christian faith and into a richer and deeper relationship with God. This memoir will appeal to college students who believe in God, but sometimes feel abandoned by Him. They will find the memoir a guiding light as they seek to grow in their Christian faith. Because literature is an integral part of Preston's journey, he includes a Suggested Reading List of influential books. The included Reading Guide is useful for individual and group study.
