LONGWOOD, FL-In ABC's mega-hit Lost, survivors of Oceanic Flight 815 are deserted on a tropical island when their international flight from Sydney to Los Angeles goes down somewhere in the mid-Pacific. Through an intricate series of flashbacks and flash-forwards, the story of the doomed airline's occupants begins to unfold. This pop culture phenomenon at times delves into Christian allegorical territory, opining about "paradise lost" and the conflict between God's will and free will. Utilizing this television show as a door to get the gospel message of Christ out there, Todd Dunn's Lost: How to Survive Spiritually When Your World Crashes (paperback, 978-1-60477-014-8) will encourage readers in the faith to keep their eyes on Christ and prompt the "lost" to experience the life-changing power that only Jesus and His forgiveness brings.
Says Dunn, "My prayer is that people will be encouraged by this book and they will know that even if life is bearing down on them, they have a friend in the Lord Jesus, who can guide them through this storm or 'crash' in their life."
As a pastor in the ministry for 17 years, Dunn has dealt with the problems of hurting people who have experienced life's trials and "crashes" every day. His book will give insight and direction on how to come to terms with life's ultimate blows-divorce, bitterness, tragedy, illness, death, loss of job and income, and more. His how to guidebook will also offer tips on surviving spiritually on this "island" called earth.
