George Gallup
Who Do Americans Say That I Am?

George Gallup, Jr., and George O'Connell

In this intriguing investigation the authors look at the religious values of American Christians. Drawing upon material collected for the Schuller organization and information gleaned from polls and other statistical data, they go beyond mere head counting Their goal is to ascertain how Americans perceive Jesus Christ in order to understand the impact he has on their lives

Questions vitally important to the churches were asked. Among them:

What impact has Jesus as a moral and ethical teacher had on your life?

Where does religion fit into your value system?

How can the churches better serve you?

Interviews with representative Americans bring the data down to carth. Additionally, church leaders from various denominations offer suggestions for infusing new life into the churches

As Robert H. Schuller writes in an Afterword, "The polls and other evidence suggest that many Americans are not being served adequately by their churches even as surveys suggest that the interest in spiritual values has increased." This book contains "possibilities and insights that 'will benefit the Christian community."
