Born in the decades of the 1960s and 1970s, today`s generation of young men and women is in crisis. Many grew up in broken homes. They now face random violence in the streets and the prospect of no jobs after college - or demeaning and boring jobs at best. Small wonder so much of their favorite music aches with anger and despair. Not surprisingly, these are also people bred on skepticism and cynicism. That`s why it`s hard to reach them with the gospel. But Kevin Graham Ford, himself born in 1965, hasn`t at all given up on his peers. And in this innovative, often gripping book, Ford offers stories and advice about how Christians of all ages can best reach out to today`s college students and young adults. Here you will find some of the most readable and practical guidance available on such topics as postmodernism, narrative evangelism and life in cyberspace. This is a book for evangelists - but also very much for friends, parents, older siblings, pastors, teachers and any other Christians who care for those in the generation called X.
