![]() Faithful Generations: Effective Ministry across Generational Lines
John R. Mabry (Church Publishing, 2013) Faithful Generations provides a hopeful and helpful guide to the different adult generations alive today, discussing the events that formed them and the issues important to them. Most importantly, it describes their spiritual distinctions - the particular needs, gifts and concerns that drive these different generations. With a basic understanding of how other generations think and what drives them spiritually, ministers and congregation scan not only avoid conflict, but also put those distinctions to work in order to minister more effectively and create harmony in our religious communities. The book provides a lucid analysis of how beliefs, expectations and experience differ from one generationto the next, and clear-cut, practical and specific advice about how to use that analysis to facilitate communication, congregational harmony and spiritual direction. |
