Generation EX-Christians

A really good read from Drew Dyck. It is really neat to have someone who you knew as a little kid (really it is true) grow up and become an author. It is even better when they do great work like this book. Christians everywhere should read this book but especially those in Church leadership. It really calls for us to look at the importance of proper healthy teaching, but also putting our faith into proper action so that the value of Jesus is known and shown.

A call for us to patiently gather the sheep who wander away, we are to seek to enter their world with the light of the Truth to lovingly lead them to Jesus.

I would encourage you to check it out!

By Drew Dyck


Young people today are not just sprinting away from the church, but they're leaving the faith as well! Drawing on recent research and in-depth interviews, Dyck identifies seven categories of "leavers"; offers advice on how to connect with each type; reveals communication land mines to avoid; and equips you to reawaken the prodigal's desire for God. 176 pages, softcover from Moody.
