2.0 out of 5 stars Good book, but a little dated, August 4, 2003

By	Robert Wynkoop (Washington State) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Like it or not, they are here to stay. This is the message of Barna's Baby Busters. In typical Barna style this book is a lucid and highly readable statistical analysis of the "Buster" generation and how they differ form the Boomer and Builder generations. The message is clear; it cannot be business as usual if the church is going to reach this disillusioned generation.

Barna's strength is his gift to communicate complicated and mundane statistics in such a way that they compel us to read on. He is not content to merely inform us of the Buster's attitudes, he also draws insightful analysis of what these statistics mean. It is hard to find fault with Barna's work; he has accomplished a very difficult task. To stand back and nit-pick his work would be like an armchair quarterback. It's easy to criticize when you are not on the field with five 300 pound linemen ready to crush the life out of you. The statistics, however, can be a little overwhelming. The fault, however, may lie with the reader more than with the book.
