Already Gone
March 31, 2010 apologetics No Comments I have just uploaded a new book review. The book is titled, Already Gone and is written by Ken Ham and Britt Beemer with collaborator Todd Hillard. This book explores the reasons why 20 somethings are leaving mainline religious groups and becoming inactive. One thousand individuals were surveyed from fifteen different religious groups including some from the church of Christ. Two different groups of those becoming inactive were discovered. One of these groups did not have faith in the Bible’s historical record of events and another lost confidence in churches that did not live the Word of God. Ham and Beemer discovered that young people were buying into secular humanism and postmodernism (relevancy of truth, feelings over reason).
The authors recommend a remedy of teaching the Word of God, defending the Word of God and living the Word of God. This book is worth reading for an understanding of how secular humanism and postmodernism undermine confidence in God’s Word.
