Philip Yancey wrote a million best-selling books for Christians, and this year announced that he was stepping out of ministry forever.
He wrote What's So Amazing About Grace, and then revealed this year that he had been having an eight-year adulterous relationship with another woman.
And the shock, as you open up Christianity Today online or whatever online journal you're looking at, was, well, the gap between that book and him and what he said about his life and his actual life is pretty big.
