This book proposes what Christians want to believe is happening to the church: that it is declining, that their children are leaving the faith, never to return. The problem is that the study the authors based this book on has been retracted because the findings were inaccurate. Young people are leaving the church at the same rate they were in your parent's generation- they are leaving for a while and they will be back when they have kids of their own. The Pew Research Institute has an excellent study out on this. The facts are that denominational loyalty is at an all time high, and kids will come back to church in 10 or 20 years when they have kids of their own. Enough with the fear mongering, Ken Ham, and you really shouldn't use retracted studies to base a book on.
