| Publisher Description: "Seven in 10 Protestants ages 18 to 30--both evangelical and mainline--who went to church regularly in high school said they quit attending by age 23, according to the survey by LifeWay Research." (USA Today) Don't Check Your Brains at the Door gives teens answers that make sense, even for the toughest of questions. Internationally known defender of the faith Josh McDowell and co-author Bob Hostetler offer clarity laced with humor to expose common myths about God, the Bible, religion, and life to show how Christianity stands up to the test of fact and reason. Teens will be better equipped to stick with their faith as they begin to understand why they believe and why it's important to make a lifetime commitment to Christ and the church. |
