The Gospel According to Lost seeks to look into the journey that each character from the TV show Lost is on, and connect that to the journey toward God. As the reader we are to “emerge from these pages stronger” as we learn from each of the characters. We get to see the deeper biblical, philosophical, emotional, and psychological meanings hidden in the life of each of the characters.
The book was quite interesting to me as an avid follower of the show. It helped me think deeper about the show’s plotline and character development, which I really enjoyed.
One criticism I have is that there was not a lot of biblical content. This meant that we got a lot of the author’s opinions on how things related to God without much authoritative word from the Bible.
I would only recommend this book to someone who has watched seasons 1-5 of the show, and wants an easy, interesting read. If that is not you, I would take a pass on this one.
