Book excerpt: Close to 60 percent of young people who went to church as teens drop out after high school. Now the bestselling author of unChristian trains his researcher's eye on these young believers. Where Kinnaman's first book unChristian showed the world what outsiders aged 16-29 think of Christianity, You Lost Me shows why younger Christians aged 16-29 are leaving the church and rethinking their faith. Based on new research, You Lost Me shows pastors, church leaders, and parents how we have failed to equip young people to live "in but not of" the world and how this has serious long-term consequences. More importantly, Kinnaman offers ideas on how to help young people develop and maintain a vibrant faith that they embrace over a lifetime.

Download or read book Abuelita Faith written by Kat Armas and published by Brazos Press. This book was released on 2021-08-10 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christianity Today 2022 Book Award Finalist (Christian Living & Discipleship) "[A] powerful debut. . . . This persuasive testament will appeal to Christians interested in the lesser-known women of the Bible."--Publishers Weekly "Armas expertly weaves her own abuelita's history of personal faith and resistance into each chapter and intersects it with biblical text, creating an approachable work."--Library Journal What if some of our greatest theologians wouldn't be considered theologians at all? Kat Armas, a second-generation Cuban American, grew up on the outskirts of Miami's famed Little Havana neighborhood. Her earliest theological formation came from her grandmother, her abuelita, who fled Cuba during the height of political unrest and raised three children alone after her husband passed away. Combining personal storytelling with biblical reflection, Armas shows us how voices on the margins--those often dismissed, isolated, and oppressed because of their gender, socioeconomic status, or lack of education--have more to teach us about following God than we realize. Abuelita Faith tells the story of unnamed and overlooked theologians in society and in the Bible--mothers, grandmothers, sisters, and daughters--whose survival, strength, resistance, and persistence teach us the true power of faith and love. The author's exploration of abuelita theology will help people of all cultural and ethnic backgrounds reflect on the abuelitas in their lives and ministries and on ways they can live out abuelita faith every day.

Download or read book The Journey from Doubt to Faith written by Joseph Eugene Young and published by PublishAmerica. This book was released on 2012-01-17 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Journey from Doubt to Faith will help you address your doubts and work through them to a wholesome and vibrant faith. When doubts cloud our thinking we grope in a fog of uncertainty and pessimism. We long for beliefs that will provide our ""reason to be"" and give direction to our living. Our Christian beliefs must be more than a ""hand-me-down"" from parents or church traditions. Beliefs must be ""ours"" because we have thought them through. We need beliefs that will guide our thinking so we can act with confidence and inward peace. Since doubt is a common human condition, we can use our doubts to raise questions and to research so our beliefs become well defined. Indeed doubt is one of God's most effective methods for producing a practical, working faith.
