Description
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.

Advance Praise
'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
‘Ruth deals with the realities of life and how they affect her journey of faith with refreshing honesty. This is an important read for everyone trying to engage with the world outside the Church and discipling those within.’ Nola Leach, Chief Executive, CARE
‘I recognised so many thoughts and feelings from my own spiritual journey in this book, a very real exploration into what it's like to step into the world of evangelical Christianity, find a faith community, and deal with the complex emotions that arise along the way. Ruth's honesty about her struggles and walk with God are not only moving, but also encouraging.’ Hannah Mudge, Digital Communication Officer, The Leprosy Mission
