Philip Yancey es un conocido autor estadounidense de libros de carácter espiritual. Nació y se crio en Atlanta, Georgia, y posteriormente obtuvo graduados en Comunicaciones e Inglés en la Wheaton College Graduate School y la Universidad de Chicago. El trabajo como escritor de Yancey comenzó seriamente en 1978, después de haber trabajado como editor y editor para Campus Life Magazine. Su escritura ha aparecido en varias publicaciones, incluyendo Reader’s Digest, Publisher’s Weekly, National Wildlife, Christian Century, y The Reformed Journal. También ha contribuido a Christianity Today magazine, donde se desempeñó como Editor General Adjunto.
Los libros de Yancey han tenido un gran impacto en los lectores de todo el mundo, con más de 15 millones de copias vendidas y traducidos a más de 30 idiomas. Su trabajo ha ganado numerosos premios, incluyendo 13 Gold Medallion Awards de la Asociación de Editores Cristianos Evangélicos. Dos de sus libros más populares, "What's So Amazing About Grace" y "The Jesus I Never Knew", han ganado el premio al Libro Cristiano del Año de la ECPA. Algunos de sus otros trabajos notables incluyen "Where Is God When It Hurts", "The Student Bible", y "Disappointment with God."
En 2021, Yancey lanzó dos nuevos libros: "A Companion in Crisis" y su memoria largamente esperada, "Where the Light Fell." Su escritura abarca una amplia gama de temas, pero a menudo explora preguntas de fe y espiritualidad. A pesar de haber crecido en un hogar religioso muy estricto, Yancey se ha descrito a sí mismo como un "peregrino, todavía en recuperación de una mala crianza religiosa, buscando la posibilidad de una fe arraigada en la gracia en lugar del miedo."
Además de su escritura, Yancey ha sido reconocido por sus contribuciones a la literatura cristiana. En 1996, los gerentes de librerías cristianas seleccionaron "The Jesus I Never Knew" como el Libro del Año, y en 1998, "What’s So Amazing About Grace?" ganó el mismo premio. La obra de Yancey ha resonado en lectores de todos los ámbitos de la vida, y sus libros continúan inspirando y desafiando a los lectores a explorar su propia fe y espiritualidad.
