Summary

Parents, youth group leaders, and campus ministers are but a few of the groups determined and desperate to help Generation X develop a relationship with Jesus Christ. Todd Hahn and David Verhaagen have provided a framework within which those involved in the lives of Gen Xers -- a group the authors feel is chasing after God in various ways -- can help them to grow in their faith and turn their lives to Christ. In this sequel to their previous book, Reckless Hope: Understanding and Reaching Baby Busters, Hahn and Verhaagen stress that a narrative discipling approach rather than traditional methods holds the key to reaching Gen Xers. It is a recommendation that both authors are more than qualified to make -- they are part of this much discussed and debated generation of seekers. Running entries from Daniel's Diaries plus a "Discipler's Toolkit" of resources add to the value of this book. Lay and ordained Christian leaders, campus ministry staff, parents, and anyone with an interest in discipling and mentoring will find Gen Xers after God a valuable resource. It is also essential reading for students in youth ministry/discipling programs at colleges or seminaries.
