Synopsis

Josh McDowell's Beyond Belief message is the foundation to launch a spiritual revolution among youth. This is a revolution to equip churches and families to raise up a generation of the cross—young people who have been transformed by Christ and the cross, who are empowered to live crossgrain to the culture and are committed to share Christ across all cultures.

Sixteen stand-alone products make up an entire family of resources that churches need to launch a church-wide revolution. These products are directed to every age group from 5 to 105, and help equip church groups and families with the tools to lead their children and youth to become transformed, passionate followers of Christ.

Already a best seller, this book lays the foundations for the CrossCulture Revolution. Every product within this family of resources finds its root here. Beyond Belief to Convictions offers a revolutionary blueprint to raise up a generation of transformed followers of Christ with deepened convictions who knows why they believe what they believe.

About this title

From the Inside Flap

Will your kids stand strong in the face of today's culture?

What strikes fear in your heart as a concerned parent, pastor, youth worker, or educator? Isn't it that our kids will fall prey to the wrong crowd, succumb to cultural pressures, and make wrong choices that will bring pain and suffering to their lives? That fear is real. We all sense the danger.

"While we need to fear what our kids could be tempted to do," Josh McDowell explains, "we need to be more concerned with what our kids are led to believe." "In Beyond Belief to Convictions" Josh documents that the majority of our kids who have distorted beliefs about God, truth, and the Bible are 210 percent more likely to lack purpose in life;
225 percent more likely to be angry with life;
300 percent more likely to use illegal drugs;
600 percent more likely to attempt suicide!

In this comprehensive volume Josh offers the tools to correct our young people's distorted beliefs and lead them to deepened convictions about God and his Word. In classic McDowell fashion, he provides families and the church with a "relational apologetic"--rock-solid reasons to believe and a biblical blueprint for living out those beliefs in relationship with others. "Beyond Belief to Convictions" will ground our youth in a solid relationship with Christ and unlock the answers to the fundamental questions of life itself: "Who am I?" "Why am I here?" "Where am I going?" When our kids embrace the Person of Truth, they will be fortified spiritually, morally, and emotionally to stand strong in the face of today's culture.
