Jared Herd grew up the son of a preacher, baptized in religionbefore he was ever baptized in church. As a child, his parents went through apainful and public divorce, and Jesus became a distant memory, like an artifactof childhood that gets put away and forgotten.

Eventually Jared broke a promise he made to himself and walkedback into church. He realized the problem wasn't God- it was how he had beentold to think about God.

Like Jared, teenagers and young adultsare leaving the church in astonishing numbers. Something is obviously wrong. Is theproblem Jesus? Or is the problem how we have been told to think about Jesus?

Jared Herd belies our usual assumption that to be "wise" onemust be "old." Here is a young guy who teems with shrewd discernment. He is avigorous boundary-crosser, moving readily back and forth between old and new,secular and sacred, "pop" and serious, innovation and tradition. In the midstof it, he senses a purpose other than his own and a calling out beyondself. Readers are invited to such boundary-crossingtoward a future where faith matters enormously.
