One time News of the World journalist tries to explain
her new belief in Christianity to her friends at the same time as
working out those beliefs for herself.
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 The News of the World, 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, Am I Missing Something? 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.
Am I Missing Something? is based on a column which appeared
in Christianity magazine, with additional material.
‘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. Am I Missing
Something? isn’t down on church. Instead we’re encouraged to
model the love, healing, acceptance, grace and holiness to which we
are called.’ Paul Woolley - Executive Director, Bible
Society
