Publisher's Description
“A stirring challenge.” Lee Strobel “A strong antidote against a domesticated God.” Matthew Lee Anderson When was the last time you were overawed by God’s majesty? Have you ever stood in stunned silence at his holiness and power? In our shallow, self-centered age, things like truth and reverence might seem outdated, lost. Yet we’re restless. And our failed attempts to ease our unrest point to an ancient ache for an experience of the holy. Drew Dyck makes a compelling case that what we seek awaits us in the untamed God of Scripture—a God who is dangerous yet accessible, mysterious yet powerfully present. He is a God who beckons us to see him with a fresh, unfiltered gaze. Yawning at Tigers takes us past domesticated Christianity, into the wilds where God’s raw majesty, love, and power become more real and transformative than we could ever imagine.

“Yawning at Tigers is a needed corrective to self-indulgent Christianity. I hope people listen.”
“Convicting, compelling, creative—here’s a stirring challenge to experience God in all his awesome glory and breathtaking grace! Invite our holy and loving God to roam freely in your life.”
“From the beginning we’ve been casting God in our image. But he cannot be tamed by our timid imaginations. Drew Dyck will take you to God’s Word so you can see the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as utterly holy and perfectly loving.”
“Yawning at Tigers is a sharp diagnosis of the church’s cavalier attitude toward God and a fervent and winsome call to rediscover God’s beautiful, terrible holiness.”
“This book will inspire many to pursue God with courage.”
“Lively, provocative, and made me want to pray. Read it, and you may find yourself falling to your knees.”
“Yawning at Tigers reminds us that we are made for so much more than service as shabby idols for self-worship.”
“Drew Dyck shows that the holiness of God reveals our smallness and God’s bigness, our imperfections and God’s perfections. We have to be reminded reminded that we are not God before we cry out for God’s help. Thank you, Drew, for reminding me of this. I keep forgetting.”
“With clear prose and dynamic stories, Dyck shows us the way to a deeper understanding of the life that awaits us, one that until now we have been too afraid to live. The only question is, ‘Are you ready for some danger?’”
