    About this ebook

    The book No Youth...No Church: Exploring the decline and Impact of Young People Not Attending Church After High School and College is a scholarly nonfiction work written after the author observed many years of teenagers and young adults leaving the Christian faith, especially the Pentecostal Apostolic churches after they graduated from high school or entered and graduated college. The book provides clear, easy-to-read researched information on some reasons that young people are not staying in church. Included in the book are statistics and interviews from young people and pastors and possible interventions that could work for churches with declining attendance of young people. Without young people in the church, it will die.
