un-Christian
By Chuck on May 19, 2008 in Featured
I just finished reading a book, “un-Christian” by my friend David Kinnaman. He and Gabe Lyons have done a phenomenal job with this. Now, I know most of us have a stack of books we haven’t gotten to yet. I also know we have limited time. However, my advice would be to check this out…and at least add it to your stack!
David is the President of The Barna Group, which does a ton of research - but this book isn’t just research. David has given the research, but also great practical implications for our churches, youth ministry, and college ministries.
David will also be speaking at DRINK in the fall. I have to say - and you will be glad to hear this - that David is the real deal…not just a great author! He loves the Lord, loves his family and is truly trying to help the local church get a grasp on what’s happening.
Funny enough (again), my previous comment talked about a piece of paper I keep in my wallet, and this comment is too. Chase Fiendel (who leads our college group) printed out a quote about a girl’s view on Christians (quoted in THIS book). On one side it says what she thinks (and what most of America thinks) and on the other side it says what we’re striving to be (the oposite of what they think). And I keep that paper in my wallet as well. I’d write down what the quote is, but my wallet is far away right now.
