Faith, interrupted -- Access, alienation, authority -- Nomads and prodigals -- Exiles -- Overprotective -- Shallow -- Antiscience -- Repressive -- Exclusive -- Doubtless -- What's old is new -- 50 ideas to find a generation
Summary: 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.
