Review: "As society rapidly alters, the gap between young and old threatens to become a deep fracture in the heart of families, communities - and churches. Resisting simplistic solutions, Jason Gardner deftly analyses the reasons for the growing generation gap, including the role of the church. He provides practical steps forward for church leaders, youthworkers and parents. Underpinning this hopeful book is an unshaking belief in Christ's burning ability to inspire a 'whole big bad beautiful mix of people to follow him, regardless of their age'."--BOOK JACKET.
