Russell Rathbun

 

Judson Press has just released nuChristian: Finding Faith in a New Generation by Pastor Russell Rathbun (ABSW Alum ’95). In nuChristian, Rathbun responds to Christianity's image problem (as reported in books like unChristian) and offers practical ideas for church leaders who seek to reach today’s young adults with a Christlike community that is:

  • Transparent
  • Holistic
  • Loving
  • Engaged
  • Just
  • Humble
Pastor Rathbun invites us to move beyond statistics and defensiveness to hear a new generation’s critique and to be authentic about who we are as flawed human beings saved by a gracious God. For more information on the book, including editorial reviews, click here.
