I apologize for the delay in getting the next part of the book out. I am redefining the message of the book by re-reading and rewriting some of the latter parts of the book. Let me explain to you why. My intension is to not use this book as a therapeutic exercise for me and all of my issues. So, I had to take some time to check my motives behind every story I shared and own my choices, the good, the bad and the ugly. I had to ask myself the hardest question. Why and I writing this book? My desire for this book is to see people find their place in the midst of transition by letting go of past hurts and embracing their giftedness by being a part of a community.

Here is the table of contents and a quick overview of each part of the book. Lost in the Pews has four parts, which is an acrostic for the word L.O.S.T.
