I just finished reading Fearfully and Wonderfully Made. I was first drawn to it because of a ministry I started that is called precisely that. We started out a few years ago as a couple moms of children with special needs. Today we have deployed over 200 personalized care packages to families all over the world. We also just helped raise over a million dollars for an autism clinical trial. We are in awe of how as Doctor Brand often said us single cells bond together to make up the body and then be used in a Fearfully and Wonderfully Made way that is beyond anything we ever could of thought or imagined. Your work as always encouraged me and Dr Brand was an amazing life that was a privilege to peak in at.
Thank you Philip for being a part of the body to display God’s glory. I appreciate it.

These are sobering words in the onslaught of clinical depression i’m currently enduring.

Thank you for sharing, Mr. Yancey.

Bro Philip,
Fully agree with the words of Sr. Irene Novak, Anne O’Malley and the others who shared and responded here.
Heartfelt thanks for your blogs that always point us to our God Who is awesome, just and full of compassion.
i have grown to be thankful to the Lord despite life’s challenges, from your books and sincerely thank you. Indeed, your readers are very fortunate to know Dr Paul Brand and his Christ-like character through you. You yourself have reflected a great deal of similar godliness through your books. Praise the Lord Jesus for your effective ministry.

Reading the letters to the editor in my local newspaper in November, 2001, one in particular stood out. The author stated that since September 11, she had nothing to be thankful for. While my heart went out to her (she had obviously suffered a great deal), I had to wonder if she truly had absolutely nothing, or if she had so much that she failed to see the wonder and the grace behind it. That seems to be my tendency, as I’m surrounded by the riches of this country.

Thank you for refreshing my day with reminders of all that God has so masterfully created and graciously given. It must have been a great blessing to have known Paul Brand. Thank you for introducing him to those of us who didn’t have that privilege.

Thank you for this book – I am reading it now. Over the years I have given many copies of the original version to friends and family – how thoughtful of you to make this newer version possible. It is so beautifully written. I love it and will continue to share.

Thanks for posting this … on my birthday (81 years) … as it gives flesh in beautiful words to my thoughts looking back in gratitude and deep acknowledgement of God’s greatness, His grace and His love.
