Product Description 
"I'm deconstructing."\nYet another social-media post announces departure from the Christian faith. The cause could be sex, race, politics, social justice, science, hellor all of the above. For many, Christianity is becoming implausible, even impossible to believe. 
 While it might be tempting to leave the church in order to find answers, Before You Lose Your Faith argues that church should be the best place to deal with doubts. Featuring contributors such as Claude Atcho, Rachel Gilson, Jay Y. Kim, Brett McCracken, Karen Swallow Prior, Derek Rishmawy, and Jared C. Wilson, this book shows deconstructing need not end in unbelief. In fact, deconstructing can be the road toward reconstructingbuilding up a more mature, robust faith that grapples honestly with the deepest questions of life. 
 Review 
"Over the years I've met many younger Christians who aren't sure they can or even should bother any longer with this ancient faith. Some end up leaving the church with a sense of liberation. Others feel as though they're falling with no one to catch them. The church ought to be the place where they feel safe asking hard questions and sharing honest doubts. The distinguished contributors to 
Before You Lose Your Faith write with sympathy and understanding. They can help anxious readers reconstruct a stronger, lasting faith in our trustworthy Savior."

The Thrill of Orthodoxy: Rediscovering the Adventure of Christian Faith

Today's threats come from every direction. 
How can we faithfully respond? Many church leaders assume the most dangerous threats to God's people will emerge from one side of the field. But when they scan for attacks in only one direction, they leave Christians vulnerable to different dangers. 
The church needs what Trevin Wax calls multi-directional leadership–leaders who combine dexterity and discipline. In short, leaders today must demonstrate faithful versatility. Wax applies multi-directional leadership to the most contentious issues facing churches right now. 
Unity and truth can still triumph in a divided age.
