AT THE TABLE OF THE CHURCHFOR TEENSThey have the questions. The internet is happy to answer them. This book gets there first - and tells the truth. Was my camp commitment real, or just the music and the moment? My best friend is a good person who doesn't believe - is she really going to hell? Hasn't science buried God? What does the Bible actually say about identity and the body? What happens when I sin after I'm saved? And the leader who walked away and posted the video - if she lost it, what chance do I have?This is the book for the teenager who is done being handed slogans.
Four teens come home from youth camp and sit down in a living room with the questions the music stopped answering - and a patient questioner who will not flinch, will not perform, and will not give them the safe answer when the real one is available. Because a faith that was never questioned was never owned. Fourteen dialogues take the hardest versions of the questions head-on - evidence, doubt, science, identity, temptation, and walking away - and follow each one all the way to the bottom.
Every dialogue ends with a Note to Parents to help the conversation continue at home. Inside, your teen will find honest answers on:. Why most camp commitments fade - and how to make one that lasts. Whether the Bible survives the manuscripts, the science, and the skeptics. Identity, the body, and how to hold truth and love at the same time. Fighting a besetting sin - and getting back up fast. Why people deconstruct, and how to love the ones who walk awayThe conversation at the table does not have to end at the table.
The best place for it to continue is at yours. Part of the At the Table SeriesCompanion volume: At the Table of the Church - For Children
