Tonight, one of my favorite shows returns to primetime TV for it’s final season. Somehow I’m going to have to squeeze in two hours tonight for the season five wrapup show and the first episode from season six.
Last night, in preparation for the season premiere, I read a book I got for Christmas from my brother entitled, “The Gospel According to LOST.” Chris is a great writer, thinker and pastor of Ecclesia Church in Houston. Formerly, he was the founder of University Baptist Church in Waco, Texas. [David Crowder Band's home church]
I had previously read Chris’, “The Gospel Reloaded: Exploring Spirituality and Faith in The Matrix” which I really enjoyed. His new book on the hit TV series is an excellent read and I would highly recommend it to any LOST fans out there.
In each chapter, Chris explores each of the main characters and does a marvelous job unpacking the emotional and spiritual journey each character has taken over the first five seasons.
Connecting their pilgrimage to Biblical faith, Chris also examines the spiritual themes and questions that arise of the show as well as the mystery and wonder that underlies the entire LOST series.
If you are also on Twitter, you might check out Chris there. He was invited to the LOST premiere last week in Hawaii and has some interesting tweets/pics from his trip. You can find Chris on Twitter here.
