I Want to Believe But I Can't - Karyn Henley - Bog

We've heard the statistics by now: 80% to 90% of Christian young people leave church when they graduate from high school. This group of kids was attending preschool Sunday School classes twelve to fifteen years ago. During those twelve to fifteen years, while they were growing up, children's ministry was also growing, getting itself enthused with all kinds of fresh ideas. We tried. We were sincere. We still are. So what happened? In I Want to Believe But I Can't, best-selling author and educator Karyn Henley invites the reader to explore: 1) How faith develops - because the taken-for-grantedness of kids' faith can become a time-bomb. 2) The effect of our postmodern, pluralistic era. We'll ask why our kids might change worldviews. 3) Unintentional barriers we have created that make it hard for our kids to believe. 4) Practical ideas for effectively communicating Jesus and His love to the next generation.
