The Gospel According to LOST by Chris Seay

Jack and Kate; Sun and Jin; Sawyer, Locke, Ben- these are a few of the characters that make up the show LOST.  It is their actions and their lives and their stories that have kept me coming back to this show for six seasons now.  In all those years, I have tried to look at the deeper meanings and find connections in the story to the Gospel.  Now Chris Seay, a pastor from Houston, TX has seen those connections and has written a book to share with us what it is he has seen. That book is The Gospel According to LOST.

In this interesting read, Seay draws connections between the gospel and the lives and stories of a selection of main characters from the show.  It is in these connections he tells how he sees the Gospel message conveyed.  The thought of finding the connections to the Gospel in one of my favorite shows definitely piqued my interest in this book.  What I found was a fan of the show who was trying to look deeper beyond what we simply see and hear on the screen each week. This, for me, made the book enjoyable and something that I would recommend to other fans of the show.  Chris Seay does a good job of looking at the show through Jesus' own "lost' stories from the book of Luke, and making connections in that way.  It was a refreshing way to look at a show that has such deep connections to faith, and is worth a read if you have the time, opportunity and a desire to think about those connections.
