If I had to guess the name of the author who wrote this book I'd be inclined to suggest Philip Yancey as the author. While that might be counter-productive to the whole aim of the book (which is, as the title says, to embrace obscurity), it might be helpful for those who haven't read the book but are familiar with his writing style to know what lies in store for them. It is a very thought-provoking book with a message that frees us from desiring or seeking acceptance and looking for praise (consciously or sub-consciously) from those around us in the world, in the workplace or in the church. If all we do - our service, our giving, our treatment of others - is done for God's glory then our treasure, the fulfillment of all our needs and desires, the aching and longing for acceptance will find their satisfaction in His presence. This book suggests a change in attitude that we need to live out daily and keep at the front of our minds constantly.
