The purpose of Losing Our Compass is to help readers understand what has been gained and lost as Western culture has moved away from religious faith toward secularism, and to invite reflection on whether a shared moral compass grounded in faith still has something to offer a culture navigating without one. The book does not argue for a return to a particular era or institution. Instead, it aims to name clearly what secularism promised, what it delivered, and what it left behind — a sense of purpose, accountability, and hope rooted in something greater than the self. It is written for readers of faith who sense that something has shifted around them, and for skeptical readers willing to consider that the loss of religious belief carries real consequences, personal as well as cultural. Above all, the book is intended to open honest conversation rather than settle an argument, trusting that readers, whatever their starting point, are capable of wrestling with these questions for themselves.
