Faith in the Fog

Author: Jeff Lucas
Publisher: Zondervan
Through a broad approach, Faith in the Fog tackles the feelings of failure, uselessness and shame, which are often the underlying causes of depression and burnout among Christians. In Faith in the Fog, bestselling author Jeff Lucas explores the pain and fear that many Christians feel when walking through a spiritual fog, when doubts about faith undermine the joy of belief. Lucas builds the book around the beautiful early morning breakfast that Jesus cooked for his weary friends—the episode described in great detail in John 21 after the Resurrection—when the disciples found themselves in the fog bank of unresolved shame, failure and confusion. What Jesus did to help them—and what he didn’t do—is enlightening and inspirational. With gentle prose, Lucas entwines some of his own story of confusion and hurt. Faith in the Fog is focused on the person of Jesus and the way he approaches those who are worn out when life is tough. Who Jesus really is—rather than the way we instinctively perceive him emotionally and theologically—is what will make the difference and help clear the fog.
