The young people demand a verdict

Can the faith of young people be protected from weakening?Many young people who attend church are adopting distorted beliefs, which are trendy in today's religious culture:

• two out of three do not believe that Jesus is the Son of the one true God
• half deny that Jesus actually rose from the dead
• two out of three reject the Holy Spirit as a true entity
• four out of five claim that all truth is relative

The foundations of Christian faith have been undermined in the lives of our church-raised teenagers. But affirming your children from an early age in what you believe and why you believe it will protect them from these distorted beliefs, while establishing a firm foundation for their spiritual future.

Writing with clarity for young people, Josh McDowell and Kevin Johnson provide sound answers to 77 fundamental questions, including: How can we know what God is like if we can't see Him? Did Jesus know He was God? Are "little" sins important to God? Are some parts of the Bible fiction, or is everything it says true? Why are there so many different kinds of Bibles? Is it okay to celebrate certain holidays? Did Jesus really rise after dying on the cross? Why can't I feel the Holy Spirit living in me? How does God help me choose to do the right thing?

This book will equip parents to begin the essential task of helping their young children deepen their convictions about God right now.
