RetroFuture explores the bewildering complexity of life today and the responses it demands from us. How do we gain a foothold in this new cultural landscape? Where can we find the personal and social resources to outfit our journey into the future? How can we take with us the very best of past experience? Culture demands that we reroute. Survival demands that we reroot.
No intelligent Christian leader can avoid these issues. And for those who want to understand how the new generations are receiving--or rejecting--the gospel, this book is essential reading. Vibrant and engaging, Gerard Kelly proves himself an insightful observer of postmodern culture and a compelling guide who dares to step forward to embrace the new and emerging opportunities for Christian life and witness.
"New insights I have never come across in any other literature on the future. Gerard Kelly helps us to grasp the implications of waves of crashing change for our lives and churches and to find creative ways in which we can respond." Tom Sine, futurologist and author of Mustard Seed Versus McWorld
"As our global but fragmented world tumbles into cyberspace, how can we in the church understand and minister in these rapidly changing transitions? . . . Kelly's book is the best book I have read to help us . . . have a more global perspective of these changes and develop more global ministry strategies in the midst of these changes." Jimmy Long, author of Generating Hope
"If the ticket to heaven is a covered dish, the ticket to the future is Kelly's killer app book." Leonard Sweet, author of SoulTsunami
