The book
A compact work with a very large question at its center.
Every Christian seems familiar with the phrase, but the author found that many pastors and professors could only give a vague definition when pressed.
Jerry Boritzki spent more than two decades studying the subject and gathering the biblical case into a small, direct, self-published book.
The case
The questions the book refuses to leave vague.
The argument moves through Scripture, doctrine, and practical ministry with one aim: to recover a clearer understanding of how God views young people.

Quotes
Lines that carry the weight of the subject.
“This could be the most important book any Christian has read in the past decade.”
“A small book with a large claim: Scripture has not been silent about young people.”
“The doctrine is not merely academic. It reaches the church nursery, the Sunday school room, and the dinner table.”
The intended reader
Written for everyone who shapes a young life.
If the doctrine is true, it belongs in classrooms, churches, family conversations, and the quiet work of discipleship.

About the author
Jerry Boritzki
Jerry Boritzki spent over twenty years studying a doctrine the church has long overlooked. The Age of Accountability is his first release, a self-published work on a subject that, so far as he can find, no one has ever written on before.
His prayer is simple: that the reader’s understanding of God, the church’s role in training young people, and the calling of parents would be greatly enhanced.
Recover the doctrine. Read the book carefully and prayerfully.
