    About this audiobook

    Many people today, especially among emerging generations, don’t resonate with the church and organized Christianity. Some are leaving the church and others were never part of the church in the first place. Sometimes it’s because of misperceptions about the church. Yet often they are still spiritually open and fascinated with Jesus. This is a ministry resource book exploring six of the most common objects and misunderstandings emerging generations have about the church and Christianity. The objections come from conversations and interviews the church has had with unchurched twenty and thirty-somethings at coffee houses. Each chapter raises the objection using a conversational approach, provides the biblical answers to that objection, gives examples of how churches are addressing this objection, and concludes with follow-through projection suggestions, discussion questions, and resource listings.

    • 4/5
      He thinks: Kimball effortlessly weaves his community's personal stories and his own anecdotal support into his work. It clearly points to some key areas where the church (specifically the people in it) have misinformed the rest of the world about what it means to follow Christ. Great sections at the end of each chapter with questions challenging the reader to really wrestle with the topic at hand, both internally and then practically.
    • 5/5
      A must read for anyone who thinks about the divide many see between Jesus (and what they know about Him) and the Christian Church (and what they know about it) . . .. this book is aimed primarily at church leaders, but is likely to have thought provoking insights for anyone remotely interested in the subject matter.
