Generation Ex-Christian

Why Young Adults Are Leaving The Faith...And How To Bring Them Back
By Drew Dyck

Joe used to go to church faithfully, but now he says Christianity is offensive and obsolete. Dave left because he doesn't believe in miracles - they're unexplainable and debunk the whole Bible. Heidi simply finds Christianity repulsive. She'd rather face the consequences than convert. And Jenny didn't really mean to leave the faith. It just kind of happened.

Drawing on scores of personal interviews and the latest research on young adults and religion, Drew Dyck identifies six categories of "leavers" from the Christian faith:

• The Postmodernist
• The Recoiler
• The Modernist
• The Neo-Pagan
• The Rebel
• The Drifter

For anyone who ministers to young adults - or whose own loved ones have walked away from the faith - Generation Ex-Christian provides a guidebook for engaging prodigals effectively and helping to point their steps back toward home.
