Lamorna Ash (‘a new star of non-fiction’ William Dalrymple) explores why young people today are turning to faith in an age of uncertainty.

When several of her friends turned to faith in their twenties, Lamorna Ash sensed the beginnings of a phenomenon. In our fractured age, a new generation was rediscovering Christianity for itself.

In this urgent and lyrical adventure, Ash embarks on a journey across Britain to meet the young people wrestling with faith today. Taking us from ancient abbeys to modern meeting houses, silent retreats to garrulous Bible classes, Don’ t Forget We’re Here Forever explores our need for community and nourishment of the soul.

Hearing both Lamorna’s words and voice felt consoling. Especially when facing the uncomfortable reality of the complicated landscapes of the Christian Faith. Filled with generosity, curiosity and kindness. Thank you

Generous, kind and poetical wisdom. Spacious for thoughts to expand.

As someone who grew up in Christianity, I’ve grown tired of it, embarrassed of the label but never able to shake it off. My politics and my life don’t necessarily match up to the mould I was brought up in and that means I’ve struggled to exist in/with it in my adult life. But this book allows me to experience my religion from a perspective I never got to have. Through the lens of someone coming to it from a fresh and open perspective where the stakes never mattered - opinions formed out of curiosity, deep study and empathy. Couldn’t be more grateful for this book. Lamorna’s a legend and has a really nice voice x

Just really bloody good

A thoughtful journey of self-exploration through conversations and encounters with others - this book is a must-read for those interested in the religious landscape of gen-z Brits. I loved Lamorna's honesty and their desire not to convince or persuade, but to encourage and explain.

Refreshing exploration of 21st Century Christianity

Exquisitely observed and deeply personal. The author has the capacity to enter in to the many stories of faith across the diverse denominations in the UK. Lamorna beautifully articulates the best and worst of our Christian traditions allowing herself to experience them first hand.

Thank you Lamorna, your words have made so much sense to me
