Publisher's summary

Move over boomers, Xers, and millennials; there's a new generation - making up more than 25 percent of the US population - that represents a seismic cultural shift. Born approximately between 1993 and 2012, generation Z is the first truly post-Christian generation, and they are poised to challenge every church to rethink its role in light of a rapidly changing culture.

From the award-winning author of The Rise of the Nones comes this enlightening introduction to the youngest generation. James Emery White explains who this generation is, how it came to be, and the impact it is likely to have on the nation and the faith. Then he reintroduces us to the ancient countercultural model of the early church, arguing that this is the model Christian leaders must adopt and adapt if we are to reach members of generation Z with the Gospel. He helps listeners rethink evangelistic and apologetic methods, cultivate a culture of invitation, and communicate with this connected generation where they are. Pastors, ministry leaders, youth workers, and parents will find this an essential and hopeful resource.

Great for Christians in leadership

Facebook is extremely helpful for understanding the culture of the current generation is growing up in. This is a must-read for any Christian in a leadership position of any capacity. Very telling and very well written. The voice narration wasn't great at the start but it gets better as the book goes on.

Liberal, old Earth/evolutionary teaching.

I didn't agree with all of this theology and how he changes scripture to fit it to science. But he has a good understanding of the next generation.

Narrator needed more life

The narrator was quite monotone. However, he made no mistakes in his reading. Enjoyed it.

A real Eye Opener

This book got me thinking differently about the way I look at and evaluate our youth. The author brought out several key points that I will use and pass on.

Arrogant

A hero in his own mind. I used to believe same sex attraction was a sin like any other. Oops married a gay man . We both beleived what the straight guys said. After 18 years I now get the badge "divorced." Not as cutting edge as you think.

Pastoral care for generation Z

James Emery White outlines the transitional issues, that generation Z has when facing Christianity. He offers a worldview example for generation Z and he also offers solutions for how to disciple and evangelize that worldview. James is objective, compassionate, apologetic, and biblical covering topics, such as pornography, homosexuality, and evolution.

It sounds more like a indictment on a generation.

I understand how frightening a new paradigm is but there should be more internal review on why the church is losing this generation than what is wrong with them.
I know the author is setting the stage for how to reach them but the initial tone is hard to get past. There is more of this. "culture war" rhetoric than real understanding of the dynamics of their lives in the information age.
Please don't take this review as a slight of the author, by no means but it is simply not beneficial for my understanding of the generation.

Not what II was expecting

I was looking for a generation Z book that I could apply to sales. What I found was a book about generation Z and the Christian church. It was enjoyable.
