God Lost and Found

'God Lost and Found' provides an honest and contemporary exploration of the position that God and the Church have within today's religious society. It then provides insightful starting points for re-building your faith into a stronger, more wholesome relationship with the Lord.

John Pritchard acknowledges that, deep down, many of today's church goers can find themselves disillusioned with God and even cease to believe in him. The book describes such disillusioned feelings as 'losing touch with a living experience of God.'

So what makes a person's faith weaken and break down? The reasons for this can be multi-faceted: Pritchard is not satisfied with a devout-Christian, pious interpretation. The author sheds light on his personal experience of losing faith and discusses various aspects of his faith that he believes may have contributed to his disillusions.

There is much that can then be explored in order to put a reconstructed faith on a surer footing. 'God Lost and Found' offers many unique qualities and insights that will force you to confront your honest feelings towards God. The book then progresses into a helpful discussion that will provide you with various starting points for rediscovering your faith in God.

"This is an unusually honest book. Its analysis is plain-spoken and compassionate, and what Bishop John has to say about finding ways to live constructively with times of emptiness is superbly well focused. You'll emerge from reading this with - probably - relief that a widespread set of challenges has been so sensitively identified and - certainly - with gratitude for sensible, durable advice on how to go on making friends with the mystery we can never digest or contain." - Archbishop Rowan Williams
