Emerging Hope: A Strategy for Reaching Postmodern Generations

This is a must-read for anyone working in ministry today! This generation, like those that have preceded it, is filled with nuances that need navigating through specific needs and challenges. I especially appreciated Long's inclusion of implications for ministry. So often, a book teaches theory, but no application. In Emerging Hope, Long treads the waters of youth culture with theological solidity. Emerging Hope: A Strategy for Reaching Postmodern Generations

Jimmy Long, very forward thinking and a knowledgeable source to consider.

There is information and ideas that will challenge you and also make you think.This was one of my favorite books that was assigned at seminary.As always there are things that you don't agree with, but it does not take away from the overall value of the book.

A book about postmodernism (media sucker) is not on kindle format? Unforgivable... :) Please we need it on Kindle... ASAP

Many of us at University Bible fellowship bought this book to help in understanding and ministering to today's college students. I recommend it for all youth pastors and those who want to be more effective in bringing the gospel to the world that is ever changing.

A brilliant book giving clear analysis of the present culture and the absolute need for the church to engage with it. The mission of God will always be the same but the methods of mission used by the church must keep changing with the culture. Jimmy Long writes from a place of in depth experience and from a place of desparate desire to see the church reach the lost for Christ. He shares heart rending stories, presents implications for church ministry and strategies to equip us with a way forward.Ultimately, Long illuminates, it's all about 'community.' Across every age group, humanity wants to 'belong' and we the church have what it takes to give society back its sense of belonging again.A potentially life changing read if you're ready for it! Long suggests we better be.
