Description

Philip Yancey, one of America’s leading Christian thinkers and author of more than a dozen books, returns with Soul Survivor, his most profound and soul-searching work yet. Soul Survivor traces his personal struggle to reclaim belief, interwoven with portraits of notable figures from various walks of life who have pursued an authentic faith. “I became a writer, I now believe, to sort out and reclaim words used and misused by the Christians of my youth,” says Yancey, whose explorations of Christian faith have guided millions. In Soul Survivor, he charts his spiritual pilgrimage through the influence of key figures who ushered him into the Kingdom and who, in many ways, are why he remains a Christian today. He interweaves his own journey with stories of those who modeled a life-enhancing rather than a life-constricting faith: Dr. Paul Brand, G. K. Chesterton, Annie Dillard, Frederick Buechner, C. Everett Koop, Leo Tolstoy, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Henri Nouwen, John Donne, Mahatma Gandhi, Shusaku Endo, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Robert Coles. Readers will find these portraits nurturing and challenging as they deepen their understanding of authentic faith. Yancey fans will welcome these new glimpses of how he has held onto faith while acknowledging its inherent difficulties. New readers will be drawn by the theme of faith versus religion and by the narrative journey of a spiritual pilgrimage. Soul Survivor offers illuminating and critically important insights into true Christianity that will enrich the lives of veteran believers and cautious seekers alike.
