Synopses & Reviews
It's a difficult fact to face: the perception that most nonbelievers have of Christianity is overwhelmingly negative. Through groundbreaking research conducted on 16- to 29-year-old non-Christians, released solely through this book, Christians will see how their friends, colleagues, and neighbors really perceive them. unChristian uncovers why these perceptions exist and what can be done to reverse them. David Kinnaman, a Generation X thought leader himself, does a masterful job of providing readers hope and motivation to live the kind of life that reflects a winsome and compassionate Christianity one that reflects the nature of Jesus Christ and the principles of the historic Christian faith. This one-of-a-kind book gives readers practical examples of what this fresh expression of the Christian faith can look like in a sophisticated, pluralistic society, and captures the thoughts of respected Christian leaders on what Christianity can be known for in thirty years.
Review
"The idea that evangelicalism is in some peril may seem fanciful....But the Bush years may prove their zenith....Evangelicals themselves are beginning to notice, to judge from unChristian, an interesting new book based on research by the Barna Group, a kind of Gallup for that movement." Bill McKibben, The New York Review of Books (read the entire New York Review of Books review)
Synopsis
Ground-breaking research presented in the bestselling book, unChristian, reveals that 16-29 year olds perceive Christianity to be anti-homosexual, judgmental, hypocritical, too political, sheltered, and proselytizing.

Including insights from Gabe Lyons, David Kinnaman, Shane Claiborne, and Rick McKinley, this innovative study will move participants to not only be more aware, but to actively engage with their community. Includes DVD, leader's guide, and interactive website access.
