SOUL SURVIVOR

(5)

by: Philip Yancey We stand at the dawn of the twenty-first century, yet we still struggle to understand the ways in which God taught us to live. Even the church has distorted the message, damaging lives and confusing countless people in the process. Is it possible to live a meaningful life of faith in a world where religion has caused so much harm? Bestselling writer Philip Yancey, whose own Christian belief was almost destroyed by the Church, has spent a lifetime searching for a faith that works. Soul Survivor tells his story, and the stories of thirteen people whose remarkable lives have shaped his own spiritual journey, From John Donne to Martin Luther King Jr, Dostoevsly to Mahatma Gandhi, G. K. Chesterton to Henri Nouwen, he pays homage to some of the most inspiring, selfless, yet provocative individuals our world has known, and asks what we can do to find such beautiful faith in our own lives.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Author of CBC Book of the Year 2007 – PRAYER Philip Yancey is one of the most popular and acclaimed religious writers of our day. His searching and refreshingly honest books, which include FINDING GOD IN UNEXPECTED PLACES, SOUL SURVIVOR and PRAYER have encouraged and inspired millions of people around the world. With a background in journalism, Philip admits that he prefers to ask the questions instead of answer them. This has led him through a path of re-discovering his faith and sharing that publicly through his writing in some of the most heart-felt and tried ways imaginable. A true wordsmith, a curator of language, Philip tackles difficult issues with an approach of ‘this is what I’ve wrestled with and how I got through it so perhaps you might find it helpful too’ makes his reading incredibly engaging. Philip admits that he lost his faith in a racist church and made a living out of being a doubter and sceptic. After he came back to his faith, he wrote books about his journey by ‘circling the edges’ of common issues and eventually moving on to topics like Jesus, grace and most recently prayer. Billy Graham has said that there is no one in the evangelical world whom he admires more.
