Christians Could Learn A Lot From Lost!

Mostly, Christians can learn how to be in the world but not of it! This book is a perfect example of how we can get directly involved in the most popular items in today's culture and find ways to express our faith through what is good in the world. Lost is a secular tv show that has themes related to faith. Many are intentional and some are not. Regardless, there is a mound of great insight that is written into what is the most popular television show in history. This book can help uncover some of the things that you may have missed when thinking about the theology and how lost relates to it. I loved this book!

MULTI-LEVEL READING

This excellent book works on lots of levels. It has a natural appeal to Lost fans, but it is also a fascinating read for those like me who have not kept up with series. Mr. Piatt's thought-provoking insights will stick with you. Whether you choose to read it on your own or with a discussion group, you'll find yourself saying "I read somewhere..." and realize that you read it in this book.

LOST Has Found IT!!!

This is a stellar book. I am only recently a "Lost" fan. Mr. Piatt's book has helped me understand why watching "Lost" is so much work. This is a brilliant book that will be helpful to both those who follow the show and those who are looking for theological/sociological/philsophical conversations about pop-culture.

INSIGHTFUL and ENLIGHTENING

Absolutely wonderful book. Mr. Piatt has such a MAGNETIC way of relating spiritual ideas, intertwined with the deeper analogies and complexities of Lost, that this book truly grabs the reader on the very first page. Highly reccomended. In fact, I bought this book as a Christmas present for all of my friends who love Lost as much as I do.
