In an age when the only time we hear about Christianity in the press, it's because some bonkers preacher in America is telling us the world is going to end, or another pastor is threatening to burn the Koran, "The God Lab" is a book which represents a piece of straightforward, welcome, everyday stuff. It is about things which everybody can connect to: being spiritually confused, death and grief, how to forgive people we don't want to forgive, trying to live in a way that makes the most of what we've got. It's a book for people with some kind of faith but it's also for people who never go to church (and it's not trying to tell you that you ought to go either.) It's a book which takes as its starting point that whether we go to church or not, we are all confused, all journeying and all in need of some help along the way.
I found that "The God Lab" helped me and I would put it into anyone's hands and encourage them to read it without fear of them thinking I'm bonkers too.
