"My son doesn't go to church anymore."
"My daughter is questioning everything she's ever been taught."
You've heard the statistics: 80 to 90 percent of Christian young people leave the church after high school. The kids who faithfully attended Sunday School and Youth Group over the last 15 years experienced the fresh enthusiasm of active, age-appropriate methods and new technologies in children's ministries.
"We tried. We were sincere. We still are. So what happened?"
In I Want to Believe But I Can't, Karyn Henley invites you to consider:
- How the "taken-for-grantedness" of children's faith can become a time-bomb.
- How our pluralistic, postmodern culture can affect a person's worldview.
- The well-intentioned, but unintentional barriers we may have created that make it hard for kids to believe.
- Practical ideas for communicating Jesus and His love to the next generation.
A must-read for every pastor, teacher and parent who genuinely cares about empowering children to live for God in the 21st century.
