The Battle For A Generation

by Ron Hutchcraft, Lisa Whitmer

Our kids are bombarded daily with choices we never had to make. They are surrounded by gangs, weapons, and drugs. Teenage sexual activity has become a fact of life. Abortion a 'necessary evil.' And many kids are making these life-altering decisions without the benefit of wise biblical counsel. They don't know their Creator as Shepherd of their heart, and are dying because of it emotionally, spiritually, and sometimes even physically.

You can do something about it. Ron Hutchcraft and Lisa Hutchcraft Whitmer recognize the urgent needs of our kids and know exactly what will help them--a relationship with Jesus Christ. Take a look into the world of today's teens. Relationships matter most to them. Music is their language. Sex is expected...and confusing. They are very lonely, wounded, and lost. Sin is not an issue for them, but the results of sin are. The Battle for a Generation explains how to meet the needs of today's young people right where they live.

[Mark Archibald · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is nearly 30 years old, but it has essential info for working with younger generations today. As the ministry explained is relationship based, it never goes out of style. The teaching on evangelism I find a bit intense and manipulative, but the means of reaching, connecting with kids and making disciples will work for anyone working within any denominational framework. I first read this in the late 90’s - it’s amazing how much of this book has stuck with me to this day. The stories have been very influential throughout my own ministry.
