About this title

Synopsis

You need two things to build a thriving Gen X or Net Gen Ministry - The desire to do it and this book.

Getting Real has all the information you need to begin an effective young adult ministry. It offers an essential overview of Gen X and the Net Gen, providing valuable insight into how they think and what they need. Along with real life examples, it presents essential principles that often spell the difference between a healthy ministry and a group that never gets off the ground. In Getting Real, the authors - Baugh, a Gen Xer, and Hurst, a Boomer - write from their own experience with young adults as well as their extensive reseach and interaction with ministry leaders from the United States and abroad.
