Is it a lost cause?

the long version

The author challenges congregations, pastors, youth leaders and parents to take a hard look at what is happening to today's youth. In a society where Christianity is no longer the dominant culture, the task of raising children with Christian life habits, integrity, and faith is far more demanding than ever before. Drawing on thirty years of experience working with young people, Dawn encourages congregations, pastors and parents to embrace the church's children with the moral authority, motivation, love, healing, hope, and home for which everyone searches. Dawn insists that we can indeed raise our children to look, act, talk, and think like people who are shaped by faith and offers specific suggestions for the necessary formation process. - Publisher.
