By David Kinnaman and Gabe Lyons

You want to grow your church? Take an honest look into what young Americans (ages 16-29) think of Christianity. In this groundbreaking research from the Barna Group, you’ll discover why many young Americans describe Christians as “hypocritical,” “insensitive,” and “judgmental” and find practical ways the Church can reverse these impressions.

In addition to the research presented, respected Christian leaders give their insights and assessments of the problems and their ideas for how Christians can respond. Includes special contributions from: Mark Batterson, Chuck Colson, Andy Crouch, Sarah Cunningham, Margaret Feinberg, Jonalyn Fincher, Mike Foster, Dave Gibbons, Louie Giglio, Gary Haugen, Jeff Johnson, Reggie Joiner, Kevin Kelly, Dan Kimball, Michael Lindsay, Rick McKinley, Brian McLaren, Kevin Palau, Tri Robinson, Mark Rodgers, Jannah Scott, Chris Seay, Andy Stanley, John Stott, Jim Wallis, Rick Warren, Shayne Wheeler, Jim White, and Jud Wilhite.

Rather than simply criticizing the Church, this hard-hitting commentary, backed by hard-hitting numbers, serves as a serious wake-up call to church leaders and Christians everywhere to better represent Christ to our society.

Off-Road Disciplines

by Earl Creps

How can the Christian community truly reach the lost and hurting of our world? It requires each of us, as Christians and as leaders in the Christian community, to get out of our pews and get off the beaten path.

In Off-Road Disciplines, Earl Creps affirms our need to keep “on-road” practices like prayer and Bible reading. However, these are not the only disciplines we need. We also need to be ready for the unexpected encounters that can meet us in “ordinary” life. Encounters like showing compassion to a grieving stranger in an airport takes courage. Cultivating these types of “off-road disciplines” means we need to allow the Holy Spirit to rearrange our interior lives.

Like off-roading, this challenge isn’t for the faint of heart. Missions— reaching the lost and hurting with the compassion of Jesus Christ—is the Church’s reason for being. Allowing it to become more than a catch phrase or a check on our to do list requires a transformation of our hearts.

Journey with Creps as he explores twelve central spiritual disciplines that Christian leaders of all ages need to change about themselves and their churches to reach out to the culture around them. Off- roading can be scary, and you may get a bump or two, but the panoramic view you’ll find is worth it. Hard. 240 pages.

Earl Creps is director of the Doctor of Ministry program and associate professor at the Assemblies of God Theological Seminary.
