Kendra Fletcher's Lost and Found: Losing Religion, Finding Grace tells the true story of how a season of traumatic family crises exposed the self-righteous religion that had taken hold of a carefully managed life. Over the course of eighteen months Fletcher's baby was found in a coma, she accidentally ran over her five-year-old, and her eight-year-old nearly died from a septic ruptured appendix. Those events became the means by which God transformed the family's performance-based faith into a deeper dependence on Christ.
Fletcher, a homeschooling mother of eight and a popular writer and speaker in Christian homeschooling circles, explores the quiet legalism that can infiltrate Christian communities. She shows how the "right" theology, the "right" systems of parenting and home management, and the "right" outward practices are no substitute for a living relationship with a loving God. Through candid storytelling and spiritual reflection, Lost and Found invites readers to let go of religious performance and embrace the grace that brings freedom and true identity in Christ.
More than a memoir, Lost and Found challenges Christians to examine where they place their hope and worth and encourages a gospel-shaped reorientation toward dependence on Jesus. Includes bibliographical references and index.
