Xulon Press, 2007 - 208 pages
Oceanic Flight 815 out of Sydney, Australia mysteriously crashes on an uncharted island somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. On board the doomed airline, an embittered spinal surgeon, a fugitive, a lottery winner who believes he is cursed, a con-man, a washed up rock star, who is also a heroin addict, a Korean couple whose marriage is in trouble among others...these are the stories behind "Lost," the ABC television network's phenomenally successful dramatic series. This series has inspired spirited water-cooler chatter in the workplace, and is one of the most popular programs to come along on the medium of television in years. Todd Dunn takes the popularity of this series, and using his ministry background and experience, draws comparisons from the various characters of "Lost" with characters from the pages of God's Word, the Bible. Every day, countless souls from all walks of life experience life's "crashes," that included divorce, bitterness, tragedy, cancer, death, loss of job and income, and the list goes on. This book gives you insight and direction on how to deal with life's ultimate blows, and is a how-to guidebook, with God's Word, on surviving spiritually on this "island" called earth. Todd Dunn is the Minister of Education and Outreach for the congregation of the Central Baptist Church of Deer Park, Texas. He has spoken at numerous pastor's conferences, and also currently serves on the Board of Directors of the Arlington Baptist College where he attended school. A product of the ministry, growing up in a pastor's home, and having his own ministry today, he knows full well the trials and "crashes" that people experience every day. His message is one of encouragement and hope in the name of Jesus Christ. Todd, his wife Michelle, and their three sons, Brady, Blair and Brett reside in Deer Park, Texas.
