    About this ebook

    What can Christians learn from one of the most popular TV series of all time? In its first season, LOST averaged 15.5 million viewers per episode. The show features a cast that struggles with the eternal issues of identity, conflict, relationships, and spirituality. Though the show does not have a Christian foundation or theme, there is much believers can learn about social and cultural attitudes and perspectives through its episodes--such as... the selfish bent of human nature; the darkness of evil; the hunger people have for acceptance and success; and the realization of our need for God the hope for a positive future. Many of the problems and difficulties of everyday life are captured succinctly in LOST--making it a useful "point of reference" for understanding how different people view issues of a spiritual nature. Ankerberg and Burroughs offer practical suggestions for Christians who desire to talk effectively to others about the various themes in the show.

      Social distancing? I have been at for years. Many of you know that I have a small office in the “lower level” of a public building. That’s the fancy name for “corner office in the basement.” Just think of Milton in the 1999 classic movie, “Office Spa

      I picked this up for free, and I am very glad I didn't pay for it. I was hoping for a more sophisticated take on some of the spiritual and religious themes in one of my favorite television shows. Instead, I got misrepresentation of scientific and historical arguments, terrible writing, and invasive calls for me to give my life to Jesus at the end of more than one chapter. I definitely wish they had spent more time talking about the deeper meanings of Lost and less time telling me about basic Christian beliefs.
