The Jesus Gap

Book excerpt: Is Jesus God?Did Jesus sin?Can you be a Christian and not believe in Jesus?The way Christian youth answer these and other questions about the basics of their faith might surprise you. Their answers, drawn from a national research study, are found in The Jesus Gap. It explores not only the depths of what Christian youth believe about Jesus, but also how that belief translates into a life of faith.Combining focused research with years of diverse youth ministry experience, Jen Bradbury is at once insightful, passionate, and practical in her approach to making Jesus the heart of youth ministry. This book offers inspiration and hope that the truth of who Jesus is still has the power to transform the lives of our youth.Because at the end of the day, if youth don't leave our youth ministries knowing the true Jesus, then we're pretty much missing the point!
