Ten years ago a groundbreaking book called The Frog in the Kettle changed what we believe about the evangelical Church and its influence in America. Subsequent books by George Barna have become must reading for church leaders and concerned Christians everywhere. Now Barna takes a fresh look at the Church-where we stand and where we are headed-at the dawn of the new millennium. With revealing statistics from cutting-edge research that illustrate the changing beliefs and attitudes in our society today, this book will clearly show the Church is at a crucial juncture in history-a time of rapid change in which we must begin to anticipate the world's needs in order to meet them.

The author of "The Frog in the Kettle" takes the spiritual pulse of America at the dawn of a new millennium. With revealing statistics, this book shows that the church is at a crucial juncture in history--a time of rapid change in which we must begin to anticipate the world's spiritual needs in order to meet them. From Wikipedia: "George Barna (born 1955) is the founder of The Barna Group, a market research firm specializing in studying the religious beliefs and behavior of Americans, and the intersection of faith and culture. He currently serves as the senior executive in Metaformation, an organization committed to "helping people optimize their life journey." Barna grew up a Catholic in New York City and Princeton, New Jersey, but has since engaged with evangelical Christianity] He graduated summa cum laude from Boston College with a Bachelor's degree in sociology (along with a minor or secondary focus in religion), and holds two master's degrees from Rutgers University and a doctorate from Dallas Baptist University. Barna leads seminars for church leaders, speaks at ministry conferences, has taught at seminaries, and has been a pastor. As an author, he has written more than four dozen books on contemporary Christian issues, with topics ranging from worldviews, trends and children to church life, spiritual growth and leadership. He also writes columns which are published on the website of Barna Group. As a result of his work, Barna has coined several terms, including: Mosaic Generation the demographic profile of those born between 1984 and 2002. According to Barna, this generation is "very mosaic in every aspect of their life." He continues, "There's no attribute that really dominates like you might have seen with prior generations." Barna also describes this group as "comfortable with contradiction", "post-modern" and exhibiting "non-linear" thinking. Theolographics the theological perspectives and applications of people; Spiritainment a portmanteau which refers to the blending of spirituality and entertainment, toward influencing people's spiritual perspectives. He is married to Nancy Barna, and they have three adopted daughters two from Guatemala, one from Russia. Barna is known for providing extensive surveys regarding Christianity and the state of the church. Among his findings that have generated substantial interest or controversy in recent years include: children are the most important population segment to minister to because of their spiritual teachability and developmental vulnerability; God transforms people's lives in connection with a 10-stop journey that is surprisingly consistent across people groups Christian churches in the United States have been generally ineffective vessels for evangelism and discipleship: most Protestant pastors are neither called to nor competent in leadership; less than one out of every five born again adults possesses a Biblical world view; every church engages in marketing, but few do it well; mass media has the most dramatic effect on people's behavior and beliefs; alternative forms of church life including house churches are growing rapidly; a growing group of spiritually devout Christians, known as Revolutionaries, are embracing a post-congregational narrative that is reshaping spiritual life in the U.S.; most "church growth" is simply the recycling of church-goers from one congregation to another. divorce rate amongst born-again Christians is significantly higher than that for atheist/agnostics. A more recent 2008 Barna report shows a closer divorce rate gap between born-again Christians (32% had been divorced) and atheist/agnostics (30% had been divorced). Barna considers Maximum Faith to be his most significant book. Others that he cites as being especially valuable include Transforming Children into Spiritual Champions, Think Like Jesus, The Power of Vision, and Revolution. Since 2009 he has been a writer for hire, penning. Artikel-Nr. 68252
