Summary

There is a new "postmodern" generation with a vast, unmet spiritual hunger. They don't know Jesus. In fact, they don't even know much about Jesus. They need someone who can relate the truth of the gospel to them in terms they can understand. But how does one relate the radical truth of the transforming power of the gospel to a generation that is increasingly suspicious of religious words and cynical about religious claims?

Robert Henderson invites you to look over his shoulder as he addresses the brutally honest questions of faith posed by a young "postmodern" man named Chip. Chip's questions echo those of a spiritually hungry generation uncertain of where to look for answers -- and totally unimpressed with what they see as powerless religion that offers no hope for change. Discover how to introduce the next generation of seekers to the radical grace of Jesus -- a grace that will make a difference in their lives.
