Finding God in Unexpected Places: Revised Edition

The story of Joanna, a South African victim of apartheid, is a vivid example of Yancey's powerful portraits in this book. A gentle young woman, she decided to visit the most hardened inmates of the most brutal prison in South Africa every day, sharing the good news of forgiveness and reconciliation. Within one year, the prisoners had been transformed; violent incidents had dropped from nearly three hundred to two. When Yancey asked Joanna how she had achieved this, she said, "Well of course, Philip, God was already present in prison. I just had to make him visible."
