The Post Church Christian Sampler

Enjoy these SAMPLE pages from The Post-Church Christian- A Baby Boomer and a Millennial... a father and a son... a conversation about the church... a misunderstanding waiting to happen... right? Drawing on experience in missions, pastoral work, and higher education-Moody Bible Institute president, Paul Nyquist, and his son, Carson Nyquist, will lead us on an honest, thoughtful, and dangerous expedition toward The Disconnect. That space, often filled with awkward silences and clenched jaws, that exists between the two largest generations in our world today. The differences are myriad. Millennials value: Raw reality. Authenticity. A missional focus. Questioning everything. Community living. Contentment with ambiguity-both scripturally and morally. Boomers value: Doctrinal purity and clarity. Traditional values. Consumerism. Corporate Ladder Climbing. Bigger is Better. Evangelism of the Lost. Classic lines of authority. Rather than judging each other on the culture we come from-this book will open a dialogue between generations that will have a great effect on churches, ministries, businesses, and families. Both generations will be heard-but will both listen?

"I can't imagine a college student—skeptic, doubter, Christian, struggler—who wouldn't benefit from this book." —Kevin DeYoung For many young adults, the college years are an exciting period of selfdiscovery full of new relationships, new independence, and new experiences. Yet college can also be a time of personal testing and intense questioning— especially for Christian students confronted with various challenges to Christianity and the Bible for the first time. Drawing on years of experience as a biblical scholar, Michael Kruger addresses common objections to the Christian faith—the exclusivity of Christianity, Christian intolerance, homosexuality, hell, the problem of evil, science, miracles, and the reliability of the Bible. If you're a student dealing with doubt or wrestling with objections to Christianity from fellow students and professors alike, this book will equip you to engage secular challenges with intellectual honesty, compassion, and confidence—and ultimately graduate college with your faith intact.
