WE STAND AT THE DAWN OF
THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY, YET STILL
WE STRUGGLE TO UNDERSTAND THE WAYS IN WHICH GOD TAUGHT US TO LIVE. EVEN THE CHURCH HAS DISTORTED THE MESSAGE ON MANY OCCASIONS, 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?
Best-selling 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., Dostoevsky 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 both he and we can do to find such beautiful faith in our own lives.
Soul Survivor is Yancey's most personal, revealing book
to date. This edition includes a new Preface by the author in which he describes his visit to Ground Zero in the aftermath of the attacks on 11 September, 2001, which overlay the initial publication of this book. The events of that day prompted much soul-searching for Americans in particular, and for Yancey became deeply entwined with questions of meaning and purpose that had prompted the writing of this book.
PHILIP YANCEY is one of the most popular and acclaimed
religious writers of our day. His searching and refreshingly honest books, which include What's So Amazing About Grace? and Finding God in Unexpected Places, have encouraged and inspired millions of people around the world.
