Publisher's summary

The D-Day Plan for Christian victory in the hearts and minds of their kids. In TESTED, West Point graduate and former Army Captain, Brace E. Barber analyzes the reasons 75% of kids leave the Christian faith and provides a method to allow any parent or pastor to confidently counter those reasons and help kids build a deep faith. • Are you worried that there is no way to fight the overwhelming evidence of the secular world? • Are you a frustrated parent wondering what your kids do in Sunday school and in youth group? • Do you have a sense that there is much more that we can do for our kids, but aren’t quite sure what and how to do it? • Are you a youth pastor desiring to impact your kids for life, but feel stuck in the rut of programs? Take a step back. Realize that you can make a difference for your own children and those you impact in your church. The hard evidence for the truth of Christianity is abundant, and with TESTED you have a way of exposing kids to it for their own good. • The TESTED is Trained format lets you tackle the most difficult challenges from the secular world in a way that builds a strong and confident faith with your kids. • TESTED focuses on solving the problem of the exodus of kids from the faith without any denominational agenda or pet Sunday-School curriculum. • TESTED provides the format to arm lay teachers, parents and pastors with the ability to present powerful theological and apologetic materials on Sunday mornings or at home. The Church’s Recent Past Does Not Have to be It’s Future Allen and Hannah left high school and left the Christian Church just like 75% of their youth group, and it wasn't even a hard decision. We had them for 18 years in our Sunday Schools, Wednesday nights and on retreats, and they chose to walk away from the faith. We had them for 18 years, knowing that as soon as they left home they would be surrounded and outnumbered by skeptics, religions and the claws of a pleasure-promoting culture hostile to Christianity. Yet, for whatever reason, we were unable to prepare them to survive and succeed as Christians in this world. Despite the determination and emotion of youth events they left the faith. How do parents and pastors protect our kids when we have already exhausted every resource and all of our energy and it still isn’t working?
