The Jesus Survey:
What Christian Teens Really Believe and Why
By Mike Nappa (Baker)
A 2013 Outreach Resource of the Year

“A seasoned youth ministry leader and writer, Mike Nappa bases this book on a survey of students from seventh grade to 12th grade. He asks the students deep, probing questions, including whether they agree with statements such as, ‘Jesus was a good man, a righteous teacher, and a noble person, but he was not God,’ and, ‘Jesus, Muhammad, Buddha and other great religious leaders all have equal standing in leading people to heaven.’ And the student’s answers may surprise you. However, these answers will definitely give you some insight into what questions to ask your own students and how to lead them better in understanding God’s truths for themselves.” —Russell St. Bernard, from the March/April 2013 issue of Outreach magazine
