The world has rendered its verdict: Christianity is arrogant for claiming to be the only way to God. How do we respond, in order to win a hearing for the good news of Jesus? With humility, the kind of humility that is open to recognizing the truth and beauty demonstrated by other faith systems in our world, and the kind of humility that is respectful of the humanity and beliefs of others and is willing to engage in respectful, winsome dialogue about spiritual matters. It is only that kind of humility that truly reflects the person of Jesus and truly makes him attractive to our world!

Christianity has an image problem. Christians are supposed to represent Christ to the world. But according to groundbreaking research into the perceptions of sixteen- to twenty-nine-year-olds, something has gone terribly wrong. Using descriptions like "hypocritical," "insensitive," and "judgmental," young Americans share an impression of Christians that's nothing short of . . . unChristian.  The surprising details of the study are presented with uncompromising honesty in unChristian. Find out why these negative perceptions exist, learn how to reverse them in a Christlike manner, and discover practical examples of how Christians can positively contribute to culture.

Many people today, especially among emerging generations, don't resonate with the church and organized Christianity. Yet often they are still spiritually open and fascinated with Jesus. They Like Jesus But Not The Church explores six of the most common objections and misunderstandings emerging generations have about the church and Christianity, emerging from conversations and interviews the church has had with unchurched twenty and thirty-somethings at coffee houses. Each chapter provides the biblical answers, gives examples of how churches are addressing these objection, and concludes with suggestions, discussion questions, and resource listings.
 

Humility, or holding power loosely for the sake of others, is sorely lacking in today's world. Without it, many people fail to develop their true leadership potential and miss out on genuine fulfillment in their lives and their relationships. Humilitas: A Lost Key to Life, Love, and Leadership shows how the virtue of humility can turn your strengths into true greatness in all areas of life. Through the lessons of history, business, and the social sciences, author John Dickson shows that humility  recognizes our inherent worth and seeks to use whatever power we have at our disposal on behalf of others.
