"A phenomenal book . . . a work of transparency and vulnerability." -Christine Caine, author and evangelist
A Surprising Search for God
We didn't see this coming.
Unexpected spiritual renewal is on the rise, even as widespread fear, economic uncertainty, and acute concerns about AI make headlines. What is happening, and what do these trends mean for the church today?
For decades, Christians have faced a discouraging pattern: faith in decline, churches emptying, institutions closing, public trust waning. But now, David Kinnaman and his team at Barna Group are seeing something new emerge in their research: growing spiritual vitality, curiosity, and openness. In fact, since 2020, commitment to Jesus has risen thirteen percentage points, representing more than thirty million Americans. And younger generations are leading that shift.
Jesus Is Back explores the signs of spiritual searching and the forces that are fueling the trend. Kinnaman weaves together groundbreaking original research with his own story of grief, faith, and rebuilding after losing his wife to brain cancer. Through the lens of the research and his own journey, he shows how a resilient, resurrection-centered faith leads to genuine human flourishing.
An anxious generation is coming of age right now, and it is looking for something real, something beautiful, and something that holds up under pressure. Jesus Is Back makes a clear-eyed, data-rich, deeply personal case that the church is facing an urgent opportunity--and offers an invitation to seize it.
