In it, he found a trustworthy companion for living through a global pandemic or any other crisis. As Yancey 'Nothing had prepared me for John Donne's raw account of the confrontations with God.' 'The preacher and poet wrote his Devotions in 1623, during a pandemic in his city of London. For a month Donne lay sick, hearing the church bell toll each death wondering if his would be next. Philip Yancey has compiled a 30-day reader based on Donne's meditations. This new version of a beloved classic has startling relevance as we face similar What is God trying to tell us?
