An Interview With The Author
Notes

'Now I'm on the 'inside', how can I relat to the peple on the 'outside' - to my non-believeing friends and family, my colleagues, the lady on the bench who looks sad...? Should I even be using terms like 'in' and 'out'? After all wasn't Jesus much more concerned with those on the margins?'

RUTH ROBERTS trained as a newspaper reporter in her early twenties and worked for five years at the News of the World. Her 'Ruth Roberts' column ran in Christianity magazine for 3 years and she continues to contribute to it. She is married with 3 children.

It's a weird and puzzling world we enter when we become Christians. Ruth Roberts, a journalist and media worker who at one time was on the staff of The News of the World, found church completely alien. She shares with us her own experiences in the form of 'diary excerpts' and letters to her father.

Entertaining, insightful and poignant,Am I Missing Something? is very honest in revealing the culture clash between Christianity and the secular life. Ruth explores the nature of her new-found belief, and her struggles to reconcile many of her own ideas with that of the church, including the issue of homosexuality. Am I Missing Something? is based on a column which appeared in Christianity magazine, with additional material.
