About
Reaching a broken generation with the hope of the gospel
Generation Y is the generation of tattoos, cell phones, social networking, and iPods. It is the generation of authenticity, social justice, racial diversity, and community. But it is also the generation of broken homes, school shootings, immense performance pressure, loneliness, self-indulgence, and insecurity. Christians have largely failed to bring restoration to this 70 million-member group of young people. What are we missing? And what are the consequences if it doesn't change?
Josh James Riebock takes you on a journey deep into the soul of a generation that is slowly being transformed from within. Whether you're a pastor, a volunteer, a church leader, a friend, or a member of Generation Y yourself, you will value this honest and hopeful look at restoring a broken generation with the life-changing power of the gospel.
The Author
Reviews
"Riebock offers readers an encounter with the unique stories and challenges of [Generation Y]. Never before have people been more connected and disconnected at the same time. . . . Riebock tells riveting stories. It's easy to see yourself in his experiences and his characters. Some stories made me laugh; others tightened my throat because the stories are real and really familiar. Riebock then offers relevant guidance that invites readers to imagine a hopeful way forward where people in darkness begin to shine."--YouthWorker Journal
"Riebock takes the reader on an honest and revealing journey through his life, meeting some of the people he has come into contact with. These are stories of real people and real lives that resonate with people we come into contact with everyday. . . . Riebock's authenticity and honesty bring fresh revelation and challenge the way we understand Generation Y . . . and how we interact with people. Whether you're looking at Generation Y from the outside in, or whether like me you're right in the heart of it, this book is an insightful and eye-opening read that I would highly recommend to anyone. I devoured this book and it has encouraged me to see the messiness of life and the bottomless nature of grace."--Youthwork
