Let's face it, the pews of most churches aren't exactly overflowing with young people seeking the truth of the Christian message. Anyone that works with young people however knows that the younger generation often has a spiritual hunger that needs nurturing. If you work or minister to young people, or simply know some that need direction, then this book will be of use. Based on interviews with youth and youth ministers, this book allows young people to articulate their struggles, beliefs and fears and helps older people to better understand their spiritual needs. It is packed full of useful ideas on how to companion youth in a variety of settings. The success of books like "The Da Vinci Code" prove that young people are looking for something. Help them separate fact from fiction with this practical guide.
Patricia Hendricks is a spiritual director at the Christos spirituality centre in Milwaukee. She is the author of several articles in such journals as Presence.
