Where's The Faith? Resources for Young Adults

Chalice Press, the Disciples' denominationally-related press, is issuing what looks to be a most interesting series of books. Entitled: WTF? Where's the Faith?, the series is edited by Christian Piatt and Brandon Gilvin. These two editors have designed the series to address the issues young adults are wrestling with from a Christian perspective. The titles are a bit edgy, because the issues they're addressing are ones that tend to be taboo in Christian circles -- issues like sex and politics. The books, at least the first two to be released in 2010, are collections of essays.

And, it shouldn't surprise you that the first book that will appear in the series, entitled Oh, God! Oh, God! Oh, God!, addresses issues of sex -- from marriage to homosexuality and more. It comes out in February 2010. The second book, coming out in August 2010, is called Split Ticket and deals with politics. It will be some time before the books appear, but this looks to be a series keeping an eye out for.
