About the Book

Turn on a cable news show or pick up any news magazine, and you get the impression that Christian America is on its last leg. The once dominant faith is now facing rapidly declining church attendance, waning political influence, and an abysmal public perception. More than 76% of Americans self-identify as Christians, but many today are ashamed to carry the label. While many Christians are bemoaning their faith's decline, Gabe Lyons is optimistic that Christianity's best days are yet to come. In the wake of the stunning research from his bestselling book, "unChristian," which revealed the growing disenchantment among young generations for Christians, Lyons has witnessed the beginnings of a new iteration of the faith. Marked by Lyons' brutal honesty and unvarying generosity, Lyons exposes a whole movement of Christians--Evangelicals, Mainline, Protestants, Orthodox, Pentecostals, and others--who desire to be a force for restoration even as they proclaim the Christian Gospel. They want the label "Christian" to mean something good, intelligent, authentic, and beautiful. The next generation of Christians, Lyons argues, embodies six revolutionary characteristics: ""When Christians incorporate these characteristics throughout the fabric of their lives, a fresh, yet orthodox way of being Christian springs forth. The death of yesterday becomes the birth of a great tomorrow. The end of an era becomes a beautiful new beginning. In this way, the end of Christian America becomes good news for Christians."" In THE NEXT CHRISTIANS, Lyons disarms readers by speaking as a candid observer rather than cultural crusader. Where other people shout, Lyons speaks in a measured tone offering helpful analysis of our current reality while casting a vision for how to be a Christian in a world disenchanted with the faith. Both a celebration and a reckoning, THE NEXT CHRISTIANS combines current day models and relevant research with stories of a new generation of Christian leaders. If you are worried by what you see transpiring around you, this book will take you on a surprising social exploration in hopes that you too will restore confidence in your faith.

About the Author :
Gabe Lyons was at the top of the Christian food chain several years ago. He was a graduate of Liberty University, Vice President of a prominent Christian organization, and co-founder of Catalyst, the nation's largest gathering of young Christian leaders. There was only one problem: he was embarrassed to be called "Christian." So Lyons set out on a personal journey, leaving his comfortable job to found "Q" (qideas.org)," " a learning community that mobilizes Christians to advance the common good. He also commissioned stunning research, which became the basis of his landmark book, "UnChristian: What a New Generation Really Thinks About Christianity and Why It Matters. "As a respected voice for a new generation of Christians, he has been featured by "CNN," "The New York Times," "Newsweek," and "USA Today." Gabe, his wife Rebekah, and their three children live in New York City.

Review :
Praise for "The Next Christians" and Gabe Lyons "Gabe Lyons leads an important group of younger Christians who are seeking to avoid both the triumphalism as well as the cultural withdrawal of former generations of believers. We all have a long way to go as we think out how Christ relates to culture in our day. As we do so, we would do well to consider many of the significant insights that Gabe offers in this book." --Tim Keller, Redeemer Presbyterian Church, New York City ""The Next Christians" is a revolution tightly packaged within a book. As a pastor, it was game changing for me and the people of my church...every person should read it. This is the future!" --John Ortberg, best-selling author and pastor of Menlo Park Presbyterian Church "Gabe Lyons is one of the brightest young Christian leaders I've worked with and mentored. I've challenged his thinking; he has challenged mine--as he does again with his latest book, "The Next Christians." I recommend this book, which will give you great insight into the hopes and aspirations of the next generation of Christian leaders." --Chuck Colson, founder of Prison Fellowship and the Colson Center for Christian Worldview "If I had to pick one leader for the next generation for Christians, it would be Gabe Lyons. If I had to pick one chapter from this book, it would be 'Relearning Restoration.' If I had to pick one sentence it would be this one: Christ didn't come only to save us ' from something. He wanted to save Christians to something.' Gabe Lyons gets it: restoration is the vision for the Next Christians, and I'm cheering them on." --Scot McKnight, New Testament scholar and author of "The Jesus Creed" ""The Next Christians" is the best book you'll read this year. Filled with stories of hope and grace, it's a passionate call to join followers of Jesus everywhere in restoring the faith. You can't afford to miss it!" --Margaret Feinberg, author of "Scouting the Divine" and"
