Good look at the NEXT Generation,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Bridger Generation (Hardcover)
Great book that will introduce you to what the next generation is thinking, what they want in a church, what their hurts are, and how we can reach them.

The Bridger Generation,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Bridger Generation (Hardcover)
Dr. Rainer has written a book that does justice to this American generation. The defining of terms and generation gaps is most helpful, and his solutions can be most practical.
