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.
