Engaging the Soul of Youth Culture: Bridging Teen Worldviews and Christian Truth

by Walt Mueller

Before we can reach today's youth with the truth of the gospel, we need to see what they see and hear what they hear. We need to catch the messages encrypted in their culture and understand what's really being communicated. In Engaging the Soul of Youth Culture Walt Mueller, founder and president of the Center for Parent/Youth Understanding, helps us to navigate the troubling and confusing terrain of teen worldviews so that we can effectively and compassionately pass along good our God is their God, our Savior can be their Savior.

This was a good book for those who are working with or parenting teens. He gives a clear understanding of postmodernism and the effects on today's youth culture. He encourages adults to engage with them and understand their culture.

A book on the basics of teens adopting postmodernism into the way they choose to live their lives. Very helpful for the novice. Elementary for most youth pastors.

Good.

This was a pretty good book. It is basically about meeting kids where they are at. Understanding where they come from and still being able to teach them about God.
