I Want to Believe But I Can't
Why Our Kids Are Leaving Church
by Karyn Henley
|
|
|
|
"My son doesn't go to church anymore."
"My daughter is questioning everything she's ever been taught."
You've heard the statistics: 80 to 90 percent of Christian young people leave the church after high school. The kids who faithfully attended Sunday School and Youth Group over the last 15 years experienced the fresh enthusiasm of active, age-appropriate methods and new technologies in children's ministries.
We tried. We were sincere. We still are.
So what happened?
|
|
In I Want to Believe But I Can't, Karyn Henley invites you to consider:
- How the "taken-for-grantedness" of children's faith can become a time-bomb.
- How our pluralistic, postmodern culture can affect a person's worldview.
- The well-intentioned, but unintentional barriers we may have created that make it hard for kids to believe.
- Practical ideas for communicating Jesus and His love to the next generation.
A must-read for every pastor, teacher and parent who genuinely cares about empowering children to live for God in the new millennium.

If God is Good, Why Do We Suffer? by Karyn Henley
|
|
|
|
Why, God, Why?
- School shootings, child molesting, suicide bombings...
- Devastating tornadoes, tsunamis, hurricanes...
- Inoperable cancer, Alzheimer’s, a child’s terminal illness...
Why is there pain, suffering, and evil?
For people who believe in a personal, all-powerful, loving God, the Why question is very real. How do you explain it to yourself? What’s more, how do you explain it to your children, your friend, your co-worker?
|
|
The Why question is at the core of one of the most powerful arguments for atheists: If God were good, all-powerful, loving and caring, He could stop all this suffering. That means either He’s not all-powerful, or He’s not good, loving, and caring. Therefore, atheists reason, what you call “God” does not exist.
Is there a plausible explanation?
If God Is Good, Why Do We Suffer? explores ten legitimate, hopefilled conclusions for those who wrestle with the timeless "Why" questions of faith.

Young Adults, Teens, Youth Ministry and Adults
Love Trumps Karma™ by Karyn Henley
Uncovering the Truth You Know You Know
(Young Adults, Teens, Youth Ministry and Adults)
|
|
This ground-breaking book by Karyn Henley guides young people (and the adults who care about them) in coming to terms with their own Christian faith in an increasingly pluralistic culture--a culture largely unfamiliar with the Bible and the accepted tenets of Christianity.
Their Hindu, Buddhist, and New Age friends seem kinder, more accepting and generous, and less judgmental than some Christians they know. And Christians are supposed to be the most loving people on earth!
Many of these friends see the Bible as a rule book for a religion that is narrow-minded and condemning. Some say that there is no absolute truth.
|
They talk a lot about good karma and bad karma (reaping the results of what you sow). And they’re right--
- They’ve got karma.
- You’ve got karma.
- Like it or not, we’ve all got karma.
But that's not all that humankind has in common.
In Love Trumps Karma, you will do a "head-gut" check to uncover what we all know we know, and find out what you really believe--and why. You will understand why faith in Jesus is truly unique among world beliefs and how you can express your faith in a way that is not only convincing, but contagious!

What people are saying about this book . . .
"Love Trumps Karma is written on a personal level, not over my head which is common with other books on similar subjects. A question I've always had is 'what makes Christianity different and subsequently better than all of the other religions out there.' ...Karyn addresses many of the things I’ve found myself thinking about but not knowing how to verbalize. This book put all of that into focus."
Will M.
Senior, University of Florida
"In the sea of confusion called Pluralism or Post-Christian culture, Karyn Henley offers us a wonderful navigation map for crossing the sea to meaningful life. Anyone searching for TRUTH and a better way of living in this world will benefit from these words."
John York, Professor of Preaching and Bible
Lipscomb University, Nashville, TN
"When confronted with explaining my beliefs...I've fumbled for words and always seem to present a thought-process that only muddied up the explanation...Karyn is able to articulate, in a clear and concise manner, what I have tried to communicate to others when confronted with explaining my beliefs...I am anxious to pass this one along to others!

Ages 13 - Adult
The Mall of Religions by Karyn Henley
|
|
Our society is pluralistic, post-Christian, post-biblical. Yet we are intensely interested in spirituality. But which belief system is worth buying into?
-
If you were shopping for a religion, which would you choose?
-
Is God an impersonal Essence? Or is God a personal Being?
-
Can you even prove there's a God to begin with?
People may choose a religion because a friend or family member recommended it. Or perhaps because someone they admire believes in it, or a celebrity or sports figure says it's the greatest.
|
Checking-Out the "Isms"
But choosing a religion, a world-view that is going to guide major life decisions, is pretty important. Is it a decision that should be left to personal and cultural influencers? Or should it be a more informed choice?
This new book from Karyn Henley gives you an opportunity to "stroll the mall" of religions, finding out what's being sold and what it costs. Equip young people (and adults) for the real world experience of growing a living faith in a loving God in the midst of a global culture.
Arranged in 14 concise chapters, this is a great study for individuals and small groups.

Lead your kids on a quest to find the bridge to God!
This quest has been man's deepest desire since the beginning of time, resulting in the many popular religions from all over the world. But not until Jesus Christ did for mankind what they could not do for themselves, was the bridge to God created.
BRIDGE-QUEST helps children find the bridge for themselves, leading them to know without a doubt why they believe in Jesus as the Christ.
BRIDGE-QUEST is an economical, self-contained 13-lesson teacher’s manual which includes reproducible handouts, interactive projects, and creative ideas for students to explore the concepts presented.
BRIDGE-QUEST follows two tracks during the course:
Track 1 - Who God is and what has He done for us through Jesus.
Track 2 - Overviews of the world's most prominent religions to show people's perceptions of the Highest Power (God) and how they attempt to connect with it.

Like it or not, we live in a pluralistic culture.
And sometimes our kids seem to experience more kindness and generosity from their Hindu, Buddhist and Muslim friends than from some Christians they know. Sometimes these friends say the Bible is just a rule book for a religions that is narrow-minded and condemning. How do kids who believe in Jesus respond? Do they know why they believe in Jesus?
The Compass is a 13-week curriculum for ages 8-11 that explains why Jesus Christ is the answer to every person's search for Truth (with a capital "T").
Children will learn a fresh defense of the Gospel (an apologetic) that serves as a compass pointing to God (who is Perfect Love, our "true North"). They will also learn ways to be reminded of this apologetic and share it with their friends.

The Truth You Know You Know
Jesus Verified in Our Global Culture
by N. Kenneth Rideout
|
|
“Every youth leader in America should have this book on their must-read' pile!...What do you say when you share the gospel with people who don’t value the Bible? Ken gave our students the tools to share God’s love with people of all faiths. A must read for every American teenager wanting to own the Christian faith! Love wins. Ken Rideout is made for this young post-Christian generation.”
Anthony Chaboya, Pastor of Mosaic Youth Community
Belmont Church, Nashville TN
|
| "I read weekly with a neighbor of mine. We have now started reading your book. It is so-o-o interesting--he finds it fantastic...I am learning too...this is very different for me. His atheistic past doesn't stop him from commenting very favorably about the passages, as they make such common sense for people of all backgrounds. He and I look forward to [reading] each week. Isn't this what evangelism is all about--creating a joyful desire for more REAL food?"
A reader in eastern Germany

 Do you believe that Jesus is God in human form, that He lived a sinless life on earth, was killed on a cross, rose from death, and lives today, bringing salvation and the hope of eternal life to the world?
You truly believe all this? Prove it.
After 44 years as a missionary in Thailand, Ken Rideout returned to the U.S. and found that even pastors respond to these questions with stunned, blank expressions. He also found:
- Our world view reshaped by new cultural influences
- New Age thinking on the rise
- Growing atheism and pluralism
- Millions of believers no longer attending church
Most Christians are not equipped to address these changes. But if we cannot prove Truth for ourselves, how can we prove Truth to others? What we have not realized is that Truth verifies itself. How? The answer is simple, respectful, powerful, and based on the Truth we all know we know. And it is the single most important message on the planet today.
|
 As a missionary in Asia for 44 years, Ken Rideout planted churches throughout Thailand, taught in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and China, and helped establish the Bible training program at Youth For Christ in Hong Kong.
Ken holds B.S. degrees in Bible from both Florida Christian College and Abilene Christian College and a Master’s Degree in Theology and Missions from Harding Graduate School of Bible and Religion.
He worked on his doctorate in missions at The School of World Missions of Fuller Theological Seminary.
