Product Description:

It helps readers engage the many layers of meaning in the symbols and topics that the series presents.

I was very disappointed in this book. I was looking for something with a lot more thought about the show. All this book is, is a rip off. There was way too much about religion and not nearly enough about the actual show, Lost. If I wanted a book about religion, I would have bought a book all about religion, and I would have bought one written by someone who really knows something about the subject. This guy just thinks he knows something about religion, but he really doesn't. It stunk.

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.

He puts so much information ... Read More

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.

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.
