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?
Foregoing formulas, models, and snappy acronyms (which don't work),
Josh James Riebock offers readers a journey deep into the soul of a
generation that is slowly being transformed from within. Whether
pastors, volunteers, church leaders, friends, or members of
generation Y themselves, readers will value this honest and hopeful
look at restoring a broken generation with the life-changing power
of the Gospel.

"A must-read for anyone seeking to understand Gen Y. . . . Not only
will Josh's imaginative, insightful, and gritty inside look prepare
you to engage a new generation, but God might just change you in
the process."--John Burke, author of No Perfect People
Allowed and Soul Revolution
