Before They Say Goodbye   World Release

By David Sawler

Author of Goodbye Generation

We asked ministers, authors, teachers, youth and children’s pastors all over the world this question.

If you could tell a parent, minister, children’s or youth worker one piece of advice to help keep their children and youth strong in their faith, what would it be?

It is common knowledge that the majority of the children, youth, and young adults who have grown up in the church do not remain.  However, many have been left wondering, ‘What? If anything can we do?’  Before They Say Goodbye is a proactive attempt to answer that question.  David Sawler has put the ideas, advice, and stories from Christian leaders from around the world in a book that will be a benefit to every reader.

This book contains contributions, ideas, and advice from church leaders, pastors, and authors from around the world including the US, Canada, New Zealand, Bermuda, Germany, and the Dominican Republic.

These include Sean Mcdowell, Brett Ulman, Don Mann, Jim Molloy, Jeremy Postal, Mark Griffin, Mike Miller, Carey Nieuwhof, Adrian Thomas, Jake Kircher, David Wells, Marcel deRegt, Nigel Cottle, Jonathan Lambe, and many more.

A collection of thoughts, ideas, advice, and resources for parents, leaders, and pastors to help keep this generation engaged in their Faith

Our direction, choices, future, actions, and entire lives are affected by what we believe.  In that past three years I have made a discovery which I believe has, and will, change the face of what Christianity looks like in the western world forever.  That is quite a bold statement, but I am making it anyway. 

The majority of our young christian leaders, and those presently in training for full time ministry, in North America do not believe in the institutional church.  They do not like it, do not necessarily want to be a part of it, do not enjoy it, and wish they could live out their Christian ministry in some other form.

To even bring this up in various settings as I travel it has brought up much emotion.  To openly mention it, and discuss it, seems to be quite offensive, as we certainly hold the Bible in highest regard.  It truly is the Word of God, the Truth, and God breathed.  It is God’s revealed message to us.  Millions, if not billions, after hearing the Truth found in Scripture have been saved.  If this is all true, could it even be possible that someone could say they are rejecting the Christian faith because of it? I am mentioning it because there countless amounts of people who say they are not Christians because of the Bible.

Friendship

At the last supper, Jesus says to His disciples, ‘I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.’ John 15:15 (NIV)  Jesus, Himself, looked at these men and calls them ‘friends.‘ Some may argue that this is stated only because He was going to die to make peace between God and men, but there is more to it.  Read More
