Have you heard the saying, "Perception is ALL there is?"  Even when the material is unfounded and inaccurate, people firmly hold to conflicting beliefs all the time.  Unless something changes their perception, they live with and are influenced by their particular views.

What do people think about Christianity?  It may (or may not) surprise you.  David Kinnaman, President of The Barna Group, has collaborated with Gabe Lyons to provide in-depth research and conclusions that provide a thorough description of the obstacles with which current believers must contend.  This book is both enlightening and convicting.  I recommend this book for every Christian leader, in fact for every believer.



Here are the six broad themes that emerged in the research and is examined in this book:

1.  Hypocritical.  Outsiders are skeptical of our morally superiour attitudes.
2.  Too focused on getting converts.  They feel like targets rather than people.
3.  Antihomosexual.  Outsiders say we are bigoted and show disdain for homosexuals.
4.  Sheltered.  Christians are thought to be boring and out of touch with reality.
5.  Too political.  The perception is Christians are overly motivated by political agendas.
6.  Judgmental.  They doubt that we love people as we say we do.

Don't read this book if you are unwilling to be challenged and to reconsider your witness to the world.  Far from recommending a "dumbing down" of our faith, the authors challenge us to in fact be more like Jesus and less unChristian.
