"We stand at the dawn of the 21st century, yet we still struggle to understand the ways God taught us to live. Even the church has distorted the message on many occasions, damaging lives and confussing 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? Philip Yancey, whose own christian belief was almost destroyed by his church, has spent a lifetime searching for a faith that works. Soul Survivor tells his story and the stories of 13 people whose remarkable lives have shaped his own spiritual journey. From John Donne to Martin Luther King Jr, Dostoevsky to Mahatma Gandhi, he pays homage to some of the most inspiring, selfless, yet provocative individuals our world has ever known and asks what both he and we can do to find such amazing faith in our own lives.
