  Why Baby Boomers Turned from...

  Mocked, vilified, blamed, and significantly misunderstood—the "Baby Boomers" are members of the generation of post–WWII babies who came of age in the 1960s. Parents of the 1940s and 1950s raised their Boomer children to be respectable church-attendees, and yet in some ways demonstrated an ambivalence that permitted their children to spurn religion and eventually to raise their own children to be the least religious generation ever. The Baby Boomers studied here, living in the UK and Canada, were the last generation to have been routinely baptized and taken regularly to mainstream, Anglican churches. So, what went wrong—or, perhaps, right? This study, based on in-depth interviews, is the first to offer a sociological account of the sudden transition from religious parents to non-religious children and grandchildren, focusing exclusively on this generation of ex–Anglican Boomers. 
   
   
   
  The Boomers featured here make sense of their lives and the world they helped create. They discuss how they continue to disbelieve in God yet have an easy relationship with ghosts, and how they did not, as theologians often claim, fall into an immoral self-centered abyss. They also reveal here the values, practices, and beliefs they transmitted to the future generations, helping shape the nonreligious identities of Generation X, Millennials, and Generation Z.

  Beinoni

  In a Beinoni time there should be no war, no terrible illness, no crime. Even if that also means there won’t be any great discoveries, any cures, anything extraordinary. Ezra believes that’s worth fighting for. 
    
  In fact, he’s been training most of his life to fight a battle to determine whether Beinoni time continues, or gives way to a more violent, less certain future. He is the Nivchar, the chosen one, with the sign of the scales on his skin. When he comes of age at his bar mitzvah, so too will the gurya, a fiery beast of uncertain form, emerging from a cave to conquer, destroy, and herald a time of conflict. 
    
  But Ezra begins to sense that something is very wrong. His friends, his neighbors, the whole world is losing the careful, even balance he’s come to expect in a Beinoni time. It was always uncertain whether he’d be able to best his terrifying, magical foe. But now, is it even possible?

  I've Got Questions - The...

  When your faith as you know it has been commodified, nationalized, scandalized, and rebranded beyond recognition, is it even possible to recover the "good" of Jesus from this cluster of epic proportions? 
   
   
   
  Writer and podcaster Erin Moon has questions, and this book is her open letter for anyone who feels iffy, conflicted, or just downright devastated by this disconnect. With empathy, insight, and the therapy of memes and a good laugh, Erin maps out not a rigid prescription but an open-hearted pathway for you to reclaim what you once loved about your faith home and light a match to the rest. 
   
   
   
  As it turns out, God is not afraid of your questions. To the contrary, the fullness of the Christian story is found not in a certainty checklist but a vision of a people who wrestle with God. This is the story to which Erin turns and guides you through, as you understand the good, bad, ugly, and just plain bizarre of your faith origins; find permission to lament, ask questions, and name pressure points; and make peace as you set your own new boundaries and rebuild. 
   
   
   
  Consider this your open invitation to get gut-level honest about where it started, and heart-level hopeful about where it can go from here.
