Don't Forget We're Here Forever A New Generation's Search for Religion

<p><b>''A <i>Pilgrim''s Progress </i>for our time . . . A captivating narrative of discovery'' <i>Telegraph</i></b><br><b><br>''One of those books I find myself being (excuse the pun) evangelical about, pressing it into friends’ hands like a Gideon’s Bible’ <i>Sunday Times</i></b><br><b><br>''The stakes are so real and so recognisable . . . The most honest and moving account of the wrestle of faith that I have read since Christian Wiman''s <i>My Bright Abyss</i>'' <i>Church Times</i></b><br><br><b>Why are young people in Britain today turning to faith in our age of uncertainty? </b><br><br>Lamorna Ash was raised with about as much Christianity as most people in Britain these days: a basic knowledge of hymns and prayers received via a Church of England primary school education; occasional brushes with religious services. But once she started writing about her two friends’ unexpected conversions, she began encountering a recurring phenomenon: in an age of disconnection and apathy, a new generation was discovering religion for itself.<br><br> In <i>Don’t Forget We’re Here Forever</i>, Ash embarks on a journey across Britain to meet those wrestling with Christianity today. Through interviews and her own deeply personal journey with religion, and from Evangelical youth festivals to Quaker meetings, a silent Jesuit retreat along the Welsh coastline to a monastic community in the Inner Hebrides, she investigates what is driving Gen Z today to embrace Christianity. Written with lyrical beauty and sensitivity, this is a reminder of our universal need for nourishment of the soul.<br><br><b>*A 2025 HIGHLIGHT FOR: <i>Telegraph, </i><i>Financial Times, New Statesman</i>,<i> Irish Times</i>, <i>Elle </i>and <i>GQ</i>*</b><br><br><b>''A book of rare quality.
