West Creek, NJ Author Publishes New Book

The Lost Pilgrim, a new book by David N. Cousins, has been released by Lauriat Publishing.

The Lost Pilgrim is the story of one man's spiritual quest.

Chris, a pastor filled with increasing despair, reaches a breaking point. He and his associate, Ruth, are into their third Sunday service when suddenly he rests his hand on her shoulder. Though intended as an innocent gesture, Chris erupts with doubts about his faith, his vocation and himself. Deciding to take a sabbatical, he begins a pilgrimage to rediscover his faith-and himself. On his journey, friends and colleagues are drawn to help him. Instead, they too, rediscover themselves.

Chris's journey climaxes in a way that none would expect, affecting the unwitting congregation dramatically. As the story unfolds, readers are led to explore hidden and fascinating dimensions of Christianity, as well as their own personal search for meaning.
