Re-Create: Building a Culture in Your Home Stronger Than The Culture Deceiving Your Kids

by Ron Luce, Jack Hayford (Foreword), Samuel Rodríguez (Foreword)

An intense battle is raging for the hearts and minds of America's 33 million teenagers, the largest generation of teens in U.S. history. These teens have an enemy. He has crafted an offensive strategy, stealth tactics, sophisticated reconnaissance, and subtle propaganda. You only have to turn on your TV, talk to your teen's friends, go to the movies, or listen to the radio to catch a glimpse of his destructive campaign. Ron Luce is sounding the battle cry, calling parents and Christian leaders to wake up to the war against America's teens. Are you willing to reject "quiet Christianity" and make a world-shaking difference by dreaming new dreams to recreate our culture? Now is the time to use your God-given creativity and claim this generation for Christ, because a generation that the world cannot change is a generation that can change the world!

Liked all of the paets about steering your children away from the culture. I disliked all of his self-promotion and discussion of youth groups. I'm not sure how effective I think the youth group ministry is, considering most of the friends I grew up with in a youth group are no longer serving the Lord.
