Engaging the Soul of Youth Culture (post 2)

Finally it’s finished, it’s been a slow and painful read!!!
The book paints a clear picture of emerging generation’s worldviews. It claims the postmodern culture has little or no regard for Christ and that established church has failed to connect in meaningful and relevant ways.
Some of this I can readily agree with, however my opinions are rather location/cultural/socio-economic specific. I do see the established church missing the mark too frequently, and do see the need to overcome cultural differences to communicate the Gospel (words + action) relevantly and without compromise, however sadly this book does little in better equipping me for this.
This is less a problem with the content, and more an issue of the specific issues I face in regards to location/cultural/socio-economic differences in the youth I am involved in…
Still a good book to stir up some thinking, but not the best for specific applications.
