Synopsis

The Millennial Shot takes a look at the top ten reasons why the rising generation are leaving the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and seeks to provide context and understanding while offering some insights for a generation that have tough questions which, when left unanswered, leave a vacuum of authenticity often prior to them leaving the Church. The book is faith promoting yet does not shy away from confronting many issues including LGBTQ, Church history and the lack of transparency around our controversial Church history, the role of Women, authenticity challenges to the Book of Mormon and the Book of Abraham, emphasis on conformity & obedience, overcoming a faith crisis and more. Finally there is a focus in transcending from believing in Christ to becoming a disciple of Christ. The book is designed to be easily digestible, with complementary sketches supporting the text all written primarily for the millennial generation.

Charles Lawson has spent twenty-three out of his twenty-four years in the Church serving with teens and young adults. His dismay at the vast number of relatively young members who simply “grew up and grew out” of the Church led him to explore the reasons why they were leaving. He soon recognised that to really understand these reasons he must immerse himself in a faith crisis of his own to get to the heart of the issues. From this position, Charles draws upon his wider Christian understanding to provide thought-provoking yet faith-affirming concepts that are designed to resonate with sincere seekers of truth, especially those who may feel somewhat distanced from God. Charles is an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

"Charles Lawson in The Millennial Shot does a masterful job of reviewing these challenges for Latter-day Saints in a faith affirming way. He uses recent research targeting those areas of greatest struggle to dissect and address one by one and does so with an engaging and relatable tone. Whether you are an active, less-active or past Latter-day Saint, this book should have some value for you. If you are currently going through a faith crises, or wanting to help a loved one who is, or simply wanting to “inoculate” yourself (or loved ones) from a future faith crises - this book will be an excellent resource.
