Soul Survivor by Philip Yancey

Here's a book review I posted on my blog (well, not a review as such, but a blurb):

Soul Survivor (Philip Yancey)
The tagline for this book is 'How My Faith Survived the Church', which, as you can imagine, was what made it stick out to me. Yancey recalls his oppressive church upbringing in a racist congregation in the Deep South. As he grew up he started to reject that church - and, at first, God too. This book is a description of the people who helped him to see that God and the church are not the same thing - the people who 'saved his faith'. Some of them are famous names - Gandhi, Martin Luther King - whilst some of them are less famous. Others you'll probably have heard of include G.K. Chesterton, Leo Tolstoy and Fyodor Dostoyevsky. He tells the story of their live and makes it clear how they inspired him in his faith.
