Ready to Return

Written by Kerby Anderson October 19 - 2016
Numerous surveys suggest that the millennial generation is quite willing to reject the Bible and Christian faith. In the past, it was seen as a road map for life. Now, if it is considered at all, is often seen as merely a book of suggestions. Ken Ham’s latest book, Ready to Return, documents this secular trend and provides recommendations on how to reverse this trend. The book is the third book in a trilogy. The first book, Already Gone, showed how many young people have already checked out from Christianity while still in middle school. The second book, Already Compromised, documented how many Christian schools have compromised on the Christian faith. This book focuses on those young people who have views at odds with biblical truth. They found that 30 percent of church-attending millennials believe that there are other books (such as the Qur’an) that are inspired by God. Two-thirds (65%) believe that you will go to heaven if you are a good person. And a third (35%) of them believe that Bible contains errors. When Ken Ham was on my radio program, we also discussed how these incorrect views about the Bible and salvation also translated into false views about various social issues. For example, half (50%) of all millennials would never speak out against same sex marriage. Nearly a third (30%) believe that abortion should remain legal in most instances. It should be obvious from these percentages that parents and churches have not done enough to train Christian young people for the secular world. Half (50%) of the church-attending millennials who were surveyed said they were not taught to defend their faith in Sunday school. We need to equip young people. They need to know what the Bible teaches, and they need to know how to defend what the Bible teaches to a secular world that is either hostile or indifferent to biblical truth. Ken Ham’s new book is a reminder that we need to equip the next generation so that they know what they believe and why they believe it. Viewpoints by Kerby Anderson
