  of us are actually considering NOT staying Christian\, but many of us hav
 e family members who have already made that decision\, and we want to unde
 rstand--and be able to talk about--the valid reasons one might choose to a
 bandon the faith of youthful idealism--and how we choose to live out our f
 aith. The book is a fabulous history of the church\, and a wonderful way t
 o look at how we view and interact in the world. It is SO much more than a
  list of reasons good and bad relative to Christianity as the name implies
 .\n\nDo I Stay Christian? A Guide for the Doubters\, the Disappointed and 
 the Disillusioned by Brian McLaren is a thoughtful guide that helps people
  make an honest\, ethical choice about whether to stay in or leave the Chr
 istian church. Key Themes of the Book\n\n\nValidating Both Answers: McLare
 n explores both the reasons to say "no" (leaving a toxic or harmful religi
 ous system) and the reasons to say "yes" (finding renewal and a path forwa
 rd).\n\n\nNaming the Hurt: The book helps readers put words to their doubt
 s\, fears\, and disappointments with religious institutions and leaders. 
 \n\n\nShifting the Focus: McLaren suggests moving the main question away f
 rom whether we stay Christian and toward how we stay human—focusing on a
  life of justice\, kindness\, and humility. \n\n
