A Memoir of God Found, Lost, and Found Again
Ratings2
Average rating4
In Tables in the Wilderness, Preston Yancey, a conservative, active Christian, goes on a journey that many readers have also taken: the change from a secure faith into an overturned life. In the process Preston finds that God speaks in the wilderness, in understandings that are bigger than answers about God's will, and even in the silences between.

Short Review: This is a memoir of 25 year old. And although a generation later, it is hard not to favorably compare it to Blue Like Jazz. Both are well written and comfortable in their youth. But I think Table in the Wilderness is in a healthier place because he is finding his way back to God through the church (instead of in spite of the church). There is some overly emotive writing, but overall it is certainly worth reading. Preston is yet another in that broader circle of people I am aware of that are becoming Anglican (and in his case being ordained). Seems like someone else I know about once a week is starting a new Anglican church or getting ordained or at least joining the Anglican stream of Christianity.
