Description
America has undergone a radical shift. Almost half of Generation Z (born 1997 through 2012) and millennials (born 1981 through 1996) mark the “none” box when it comes to claiming religious affiliation.
How can we share Jesus with the growing number of secular people who question, ignore, or reject beliefs about truth, morality, the Bible, and God that earlier generations built their lives on?
It starts with being a good friend.
In Not Beyond Reach Aaron Pierce explains how discipleship relationships start even before a friend or loved one accepts Christ. There is rich meaning and purpose in your everyday interactions with nonbelievers, no matter where they are in their faith journey! As you build trust over time, you open doors to share the Gospel.
Aaron begins by demystifying the underlying inconsistencies and idols at the heart of secular beliefs. Then he outlines a new playbook for reaching the next generation and others who would not walk into a church.
The process involves intentionality and radical dependence on the Holy Spirit and God to move. It also involves authentic relationships and perceptive listening and communication skills. For those who struggle in this area, Not Beyond Reach provides examples and strategies to help readers progress from friendship conversations to spiritual conversations to Gospel conversations that transform lives.

America has moved into a “Post-Christian” Secular culture and the church has completely missed this change. We all know that our kids and grandkids are radically different today and we don’t know what happened?
Aaron Pierce has written answers to what/when/how and why this change has happened and what a new “Evangelical” model looks like for us to use that reaches this new culture.
Very good book!
