Pacific Press —An important new book entitled We Can Keep Them in the Church has just been released. The book, full of insightful information from today's top Adventist youth and children's ministry leaders, explains through stories, interviews, and personal testimonies how they are making a difference in the lives of young people today.

We Can Keep Them in the Church is compiled by Myrna Tetz, former managing editor of the Adventist Review, and Gary L. Hopkins, director of the Center for Prevention Research and associate director of the Institute for Prevention of Addictions at Andrews University.

Tetz says, "Try picturing ten young people from your church, some of them may be your own children or grandchildren. Then, mentally divide the group in half. Now, ask yourself, which five am I willing to lose?"

A startling question, but the truth is that in North America, nearly half of our young people are leaving the church and saying no to the Adventist way of life. Can anything be done to reverse the trend? Tetz, Hopkins, and 30 youth specialists and ministry leaders say, yes!
