David Kinnaman, UnChristian: What a New Generation Really Thinks about Christianity.
1. Christians say one thing but live something entirely different . . . . becomes . . . Christians are transparent about their flaws and act first, talk second.
2. Christians are insincere and concerned only with converting others . . . . becomes . . . Christians cultivate relationships and environments where others can be deeply transformed by God.
3. Christians show contempt for gays and lesbians . . . becomes . . . Christians show compassion and love to all people, regardless of their lifestyle.
4. Christians are boring, unintelligent, old fashioned, and out of touch with reality . . . becomes . . . Christians are engaged, informed and offer sophisticated responses to issues people face.
5. Christians are primarily motivated by a political agenda and promote right-wing politics . . . becomes . . . Christians are characterized by respecting people, thinking biblically, and finding solutions to complex issues
6. Christians are prideful and quick to find fault with others . . . becomes . . . Christians show grace by finding the good in others and seeing their potential to be Christ followers.
