Abandoned Faith: Why Millennials Are Walking Away and How You Can Lead Them Home – Alex McFarland and Jason Jimenez

Abandoned Faith is targeted to parents of children 18-34 and pastoral leaders.  The book explores better understanding of the younger generation and strengthening relationships with them.  Although interesting at points, there seemed to be quite a bit of repetition within the book.  After reading it, I felt like the material could have been shared more effectively in an article rather than in book format.
