The Gospel According to Lost – Chris Seay
I have to admit – a big part of wanting to review this book was to check out the stunning artwork of the uber-talented Scott Erickson whom I met last year at NYWC in Los Angeles. I ALSO have to confess that I am in no way a fan of the Lost TV series. I never really watched it when it started, and it is not something that you can just jump into half-way through! I AM however, a LOST widower. My darling wife is a huge fan and every Wednesday that it is on, I have some non-negotiable “alone” time.
One thing that I am most definitely a fan of, is making cultural phenomena connect with a Christian worldview and I think that this book hits the nail directly on the head! I found the book insightful and in a pastoral sense, I know I am better equipped to connect with those I come in contact with that are fans! Chris obviously displays an intensely accurate understanding of what is going on with each character and looks beyond the surface of each one to find some juicy tidbits! It is this challenge to jump well beyond the prevailing narrative and dissect your own life that I believe is the real beauty of this book. You will definitely not regret adding this one to your bookshelf!
