Teaser Tuesdays - January 5 - The Gospel According to Lost


Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

  • Grab your current read
  • Open to a random page
  • Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
  • BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
  • Share the title & author, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

My Teaser:


The Gospel According to Lost is an exploration of the seemingly infinite ideas, philosophies, scientific observations, and biblical metaphors that make the Lost story are [sic] more than engaging, but educational.  It is an invitation to dive deep into a fascinating narrative, to be suspended upon a web that weaves in truth from Flannery O'Connor, quantum physics, and the Enlightenment, as well as postmodern philosophy, ancient mystics, and the Bible.

I'm trying to get this book read and reviewed for Thomas Nelson, Inc. as soon as possible. As the show is going to debut February 2,  I'd like to host a giveaway so that a Lost fan can receive this before or near the start of the final season.  So check back very soon!  I'll be sure to announce it on Twitter, so be sure to follow me there (@LHartness).

Feel free to leave a comment here with any thoughts/questions about the book.  If you have a teaser to share, post it here or give us your link!  And while you're at it, share your link on MizB's site as well.  Happy reading!

    It's actually not very technical; an easy read, especially if you're a fan of Lost. It would be perfect to read before the show starts up again-- I'll try to finish soon & get it up for a giveaway!
