They Like Jesus But Not the Church with Dan Kimball is a 6-session study designed to look at young adults' perceptions of the church. Issues such as the tendency for Christians to associate only with other Christians and the perception by many that the church is too judgmental, arrogant and homophobic. If your church hopes to become a young adult-friendly congregation, it is important to understand how the unchurched really see Christianity.

Another excellent resource in this area is UnChristian by David Kinnamon of the Barna Group and Gabe Lyons of the Fermi Project. Based on recent surveys of both 'churched' and non-Christian populations, this highly readable book provides important food for thought and discussion regarding the Christian image in America. An IRC Director's Choice!

Everything is Spiritual brings Ron Bell, host for the Nooma series to the 'white board' to give an intelligent look at God, creation, and spirituality... an examination that bridges the chasm between Bible literalists and progressives while staying focused on the important point... that spirituality is part of all of God's creation. While the program is longer than the preferred length for traditional study sessions, this program should not be overlooked.

You may want to take a look at Ron Bell's book Velvet Elvis, now at the Interfaith Resource Center.
