God, Are You for Real?, Paperback/David Bateman

Is God for real? Is there a God? If so, what is God like? What is God's nature and character? Is God a spiritual being? Is God religious? Is there a Heaven and Hell? Does God care about you and the human race? Today, over 40% of Gen Y and Z youth claim they have no particular faith and classify themselves on surveys as religious "nones." Millennials are questioning God, creationism, spirituality, eternal life and spiritual and temporal relationships more than ever. Their inquiry into God, the purpose of this life and the reasons we exist are sincere. They are searching in earnest for honest answers. Parents, spiritual leaders, pastors, teachers and authors are now tasked to answer these questions in an honest and straight forward manner. This book addresses the lead six questions raised by our younger generations: 1) I question much of religious teaching and I just don't believe in God, 2) There is no scientific, or other evidence of God, 3) Science, common sense and reason give me all the answers and are incompatible with religion, 4) I can learn all I need to know about God and creation on my own without religion, and 5) I don't like formalized and hierarchical religion and religious leaders, and 6) Religion is not relevant to my life. In the end, I am hopeful that our youth will be open to the Christian faith as their spiritual home.
