"I became a writer, I now believe, to sort out and reclaim words used and misused by the Christians of my youth," says Philip Yancey, whose explorations of Christian faith have made him a guide for millions. In SOUL SURVIVOR, he charts his spiritual pilgrimage through the influence of key individuals: "These are the people who ushered me into the Kingdom. In many ways, they are why I remain a Christian today, and I want to introduce them to other spiritual seekers."

Yancey interweaves his own journey with fascinating stories of those who modeled for him a life-enhancing, rather than life-constricting, faith: Dr. Paul Brand, G. K. Chesteron, Annie Dillard, Frederick Buechner, C. Everett Koop, Leo Tolstoy, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Henri Nouwen, John Donne, Mahatma Gandhi, Shusaku Endo, Martin Luther King Jr., Robert Coles.

Listeners will find these inspiring portraits both nurture and challenge their own understanding of authentic faith. Yancey fans will devour these new glimpses of how he has held onto faith while acknowledging with utter honesty its inherent difficulties. Listeners will be drawn in by the theme of faith verses religion and drawn along a compelling narrative of signposts on a spiritual journey.

SOLE SURVIVORS offers illuminating and critically important insights into true Christianity, which will enrich the lives of veteran believers and cautious seekers alike.

    Soul Survivor While I don’t read many time travel romances as a rule, I was intrigued by the Native American setting of Misty Evans’ Soul Survivor. I discovered that I can enjoy a time travel story if the plotting is handled with sensitivity, as it i ... (read full critics)

    13 people, 13 very different tales. These 13 had hardly anything in common, but all constantly searched high and low, in and out their lives and life in general, trying to come to terms with their faith and God. Thanks to Philip Yancey, I am able to understand my own faith in relation to these 13 people who provide much more than mere food for thought.

    One thing I like about Philip Yancey is that he always manages to convey his messages without sounding preachy or acting as if he is standing on spiritual high ground. As the title Soul Survivor implies, this book is for people who are constantly questioning faith matters and battling internal turmoil, who are not complacent with physically going to church every Sunday.

    And that should make this book suitable to everyone.
