About this ebook
Keeping your faith burning bright
when all you want to do is burn out
In Faith in the Fog, bestselling author Jeff Lucas explores the pain and fear that many Christians feel when walking through a spiritual fog, when doubts about faith undermine the joy of belief.
After the Resurrection—when the disciples found themselves on the fog bank of unresolved shame, failure, and confusion—what Jesus did to help them and what he didn’t do is both enlightening and inspirational.
Here, you will focus on the person of Jesus and the way he approaches those who are worn out when life is tough. Who Jesus really is—rather than the way we instinctively perceive him emotionally and theologically—is what will make the difference and help clear the fog.
Through a broad approach, Faith in the Fog tackles the feelings of failure, uselessness, and shame, which are often the underlying causes of depression and burnout among Christians.

Reviews for Faith in the Fog
3 ratings1 review
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The book is a study on John chapter 21: the passage of the Bible where the resurrected Jesus sees some of the disciples after a fruitless night of fishing. He cooks breakfast for them, and has an important chat with Peter.
With a mixture of anecdotes, told in his usual self-deprecating style, questions and suggestions, the author makes some excellent points about faith and the Christian life. He gives some historical and cultural background as he ponders different parts of the passage, introducing ideas that made so much more sense than most analytical discussions of this passage.
There are no definitive answers given. One of the refreshing things about Jeff Lucas is that he does not try to push any agenda on his readers. Instead, he invites them to think through the disciples' motivations, and see their humanity. However, he gives some tremendous insights into what might have been going on in the minds of these weary disciples.
The author also talks about some of his own insecurities and worries, many of which resonated strongly with me. All in all, I thought it an excellent book, and was sorry to reach the end. I would recommend it highly to anyone, particularly those who might feel as if they’re ploughing through the Christian life, sometimes, rather than coasting.
Highly recommended.
