Is there hope in this era of cynicism? Jimmy Long, a campus minister for more than twenty-five years, is convinced that we are in the middle of a societal hurricane. As our culture moves further into postmodernity, now is a time of enormous and rapid change. How do we "do church" in such an era? How do we reach the lost? How do we communicate hope? In Emerging Hope Long traces the connections between postmodernism and the emerging generations--Generation X and the millennial generation--highlighting implications for evangelism and discipleship. What emerges is a compelling strategy for ministry that will appeal to a generation starved for a sense of belonging. (This book is a revised and expanded edition of Generating Hope.)

Great Read with good ideas,
By David Salazar "jagmiester" (Holly, MI) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Emerging Hope: A Strategy for Reaching Postmodern Generations (Paperback)
There is information and ideas that will challenge you and also make you think.
This was one of my favorite books that was assigned at seminary. As always there are things that you don't agree with, but it does not take away from the overall value of the book.

A Practical Tool for Reaching this Generation,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Emerging Hope: A Strategy for Reaching Postmodern Generations (Paperback)
This is a must-read for anyone working in ministry today! This generation, like those that have preceded it, is filled with nuances that need navigating through specific needs and challenges. I especially appreciated Long's inclusion of implications for ministry. So often, a book teaches theory, but no application. In Emerging Hope, Long treads the waters of youth culture with theological solidity.Emerging Hope: A Strategy for Reaching Postmodern Generations

A Great Book for the understanding of today's youth.,
This review is from: Emerging Hope: A Strategy for Reaching Postmodern Generations (Paperback)
Many of us at University Bible fellowship bought this book to help in understanding and ministering to today's college students. I recommend it for all youth pastors and those who want to be more effective in bringing the gospel to the world that is ever changing.
