Young people who grow up in church seem to offer great potential
for the future of Christianity. Yet often that potential goes
unfulfilled. Some give up on Christian faith altogether. Many more
give up on church. Others persevere with both faith and church. And
yet others return after a time away. So what makes the difference?
John Bowen suggests some of the answers to such questions. He has
surveyed several hundred young people who "grew up Christian," and
retells their stories about how growing up and leaving home
affected their faith-stories that are often poignant, sometimes
hilarious, and always insightful.
This book offers helpful lessons for pastors, youth workers and
parents who want to know how to help their young people to stay in
church and in faith. What kind of church--and what kind of
Christianity--do young people want and need? And can the existing
church provide it?
John P. Bowen is Associate Professor of Evangelism at Wycliffe
College, University of Toronto, and Director of the Wycliffe
College Institute of Evangelism. His other books include
"Evangelism for Normal People" and "The Spirituality of Narnia: The
Deeper Magic of C. S. Lewis."
