An American Revival: Why American Christianity Is Failing & How to Fix It, (Hardcover)

There are 1 million fewer Christians in America every year. Data show that Christianity in America is declining at an alarming rate, Pew Research indicating each American generation is less Christian than the last. There were 178 million Christian adults in America in 2009, but only 167 million by 2019. American Christianity is failing at its primary task-making American disciples. Theologians call Jesus's command to "make disciples of all nations" the "Great Commission" (Matt. 28:19-20) because it is the greatest of all Jesus's mandates. Motivating all forms of evangelism, the purpose of the Great Commission is to increase the number of believers. But America is losing more than 1 million Christians per year. However, research also shows that "Gen Z"-the youngest American generation-is becoming more politically conservative. A study conducted by The Gild found that almost 60 percent of Gen Zers describe their views as either "conservative" or "moderate." Forbes refers to Gen Z as "possibly the most conservative generation since World War II." In An American Revival: Why American Christianity Is Failing and How to Fix It, author Jon Fleetwood explains how Christians must remove post-Westernism (Cultural Marxism) from the American Church. The American Church will then be able to reach Gen Z with the gospel by using Gen Zers' increasingly conservative political beliefs as evidence for the truth of the Christian worldview. Blending politics, apologetics, philosophy, and the Bible, Fleetwood casts a vision for igniting the next great Christian revival in America.
