Nationwide
polls and denominational reports are showing that the next
generation is calling it quits on the traditional church. And it’s
not just happening on the nominal fringe; it’s happening at the
core of the faith.
In the first
scientific study of its kind, the “Beemer Report” reveals startling
facts discovered through 20,000 phone calls and detailed surveys of
a thousand 20–29 year olds who used to attend evangelical churches
on a regular basis, but have since left it behind.
The results
are shocking:
- Those who
faithfully attend Sunday School are more likely to leave the church
than those who do not.
- Those who
regularly attend Sunday School are more likely to believe that the
Bible is less true.
- Those who
regularly attend Sunday School are actually more likely to defend
that abortion and gay marriage should be legal.
- Those who
regularly attend Sunday School are actually more likely to defend
premarital sex.
In this
powerful book, popular author Ken Ham and consumer behavior
research/analyst C. Britt Beemer combine to reveal trends that must
be dealt with now . . . before we lose another
generation! The book is NOT against Sunday School,
however it takes a hard look at the results of what has occured in
the past and what we can do about it now.
The trends are
frightening, but Already Gone shows how to win back our families, our
churches, and our world! You'll be challenged to change.
