Book Discussion Questions: Soul Survivor

I am reading a book called Soul Survivors by Philip Yancey with my spiritual formation group. It is an autobiography of sorts, telling the people who have influenced Yancey's faith as he matured. This book is not in any free library places, but it was easy to get a used copy on Thriftbooks. We split the book into 4 3-4 chapter sections for discussion over the first half of the year. 

Chapters 1 through 3
How did you relate (or not) to Yancey's experience of the church?
Did you learn about Martin Luther King in this chapter that you did not previously know?
What aspects of our life and culture are we blind to you today in a similar way that the church has been blind to racism?
How is the "problem of pleasure" problematic for the atheist?

Chapters 4 through 7
How do you think Dr Brad's work with the poor and marginalized and forms his life with god?
How do we give live like Dr Cole's and give dignity to each person's life and story?
How do you feel like Tolstoy and Dostoevsky get faith right? How did they get faith wrong?
How do you think Gandhi embraced the ideals of Jesus without learning to live by faith or accept the grace from God?

Chapters 8 through 10
What did Dr Koop model about how Christians should engage with the wider world?
How does Donne's suffering at lack of fear inspire you?
How do we shift our view on heaven to be more in line with God's?
How do we, like Dillard, allow beauty and nature to lead us to God?
