{"product_id":"9781780780962","title":"Am I Missing Something?","description":"One time \u003ci\u003eNews of the World\u003c\/i\u003e journalist tries to explain her new belief in Christianity to her friends at the same time as working out those beliefs for herself.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e It's a weird and puzzling world we enter when we become Christians. Ruth Roberts, a journalist and media worker who at one time was on the staff of \u003ci\u003eThe News of the World\u003c\/i\u003e, found church completely alien. She shares with us her own experiences in the form of 'diary excerpts' and letters to her father. Entertaining, insightful and poignant, \u003ci\u003eAm I Missing Something?\u003c\/i\u003e is very honest in revealing the culture clash between Christianity and the secular life. Ruth explores the nature of her new-found belief, and her struggles to reconcile many of her own ideas with that of the church, including the issue of homosexuality.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eAm I Missing Something?\u003c\/i\u003e is based on a column which appeared in \u003ci\u003eChristianity\u003c\/i\u003e magazine, with additional material.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 'This book should carry a health warning. It will make you laugh, cry, and could possibly change your life. Ruth Roberts gives an enjoyable and refreshingly honest account of life as a new Christian in a lively evangelical church. \u003ci\u003eAm I Missing Something?\u003c\/i\u003e isn't down on church. Instead we're encouraged to model the love, healing, acceptance, grace and holiness to which we are called.' \u003cb\u003ePaul Woolley - Executive Director, Bible Society\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Authentic Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47157892776176,"sku":"9781780780962","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781780780962_p0.jpg?v=1763714562","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781780780962","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
