McDowell who

will speak at New Hope Baptist Church's north campus in Fayetteville Tuesday,

Feb. 25, at 6:30 p.m. once considered himself an agnostic who believed

that Christianity was worthless. Friends challenged him to study the claims

of Christianity to see if he could disclaim them. As a result of that

study, McDowell was converted to Christianity and has since devoted nearly

four decades to telling a doubting world about Christ.

In 1990, McDowell

began delivering his message in a popular weekly broadcast, called Josh

McDowell Radio, that is now heard on about 400 stations throughout the

United States. To date, he has written or co-written 77 books on topics

ranging from Christian apologetics to common problems facing youth.

"Beyond

Belief" is a global campaign aimed at casting the vision of moving

our kids beyond belief to convictions.

"Only

9 percent of churched youth believe in absolute truth," said McDowell.

"Young people may be willing to believe that Christianity offers

a 'truth,' but they're not convinced it is the truth. It is not that our

churched kids are rejecting Christianity as they know it; they have simply

been influenced to redefine it according to their cultural setting. Seventy-two

percent of USA teens said that the way that you can tell if something

is morally or ethically right for you is by whether or not it works in

your life."

The "Beyond

Belief" seminar will offer an effective way to counter the cultural

conditioning that has distorted our kids' belief systems. For directions

to the free seminar, call Landmark at 770-306-0647.
