New Book on Christian Youth

My degree is in Market Research, so every time I hear about a new study that was done, my ears perk up.

I had one of those moments recently when I heard the Barna Group was putting out their latest book, UnChristian. If you are unfamiliar with the Barna Group, they have spent decades researching Christianity and are the main voice when it comes to facts regarding this arena. To learn more about their organization, visit their homepage.

I spent the majority of a day reading this book at a Starbucks in Dallas several weeks ago (thankfully one of the big stuffed chairs was available!). My respect for the Barna Group has increased, and I am thankful to have an organization that is putting out thoughtful, quality research for a demographic I am interested in.

I highly recommend this book to anyone working with Christian youth – it has many interesting findings that are useful in understanding our changing culture.

Be sure and check it out.
