Don't Count Out Our Youth!
The Next Fithian was a really great read! It is geared towards young adults yet enjoyable for adults as well.
Teenager Ranking ends up in another dimension and is tasked with the job to spread the gospel to a world that does not believe. Sound familiar?
I enjoyed the author's creativity in the presentation of the gospel and the reminder that everyone can share their faith. It was not contrived but shows how in everyday life through our conversations and interactions with others we can share our faith.
Ageism which can sometimes be a stumbling block in life and in the church is shredded as the light shone on the fact that we tend to disregard our youth as viable conduits of the gospel. It encourages us to do better! I admired his skillful incorporation of biblical stories as the adventure heated up. This was not a book I could rush through, I slowed down and enjoyed every delicious bite. Key Takeaway: We all have a part to play in sharing the gospel message; our age, doubts, or circumstances are no excuse to avoid doing so. Job well done Mr. Barry! I received an advance review copy for free from BookSirens, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. |
