How My Faith Survived the Church.
'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 cause 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' tell 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.
