The book "UnChristian"

I just finished reading the book "UnChristian" by David Kinnaman, a researcher for and the president of The Barna Group. This nonfiction book takes a raw look at what people who do not practice the Christian faith think of the people who call themselves Christians. Their findings from 3 years of statistic and interview research reveal that most people who do not practice the Christian faith believe that Christians are very UnChristian. Words like Judgmental, too political, and Hypocritical describe the Christan's. While the book seems to be written for the generation above me (who may not be as aware of these and other perceptions), I was intrigued by the evidence and challenged even further to be a genuine Christian. Good book, I do recommend "UnChrisitan."
