Creating Community across Generations

"In a culture marked by generational challenges and conflicts, Christian leaders need solid resources to help them navigate a complex and ever-changing terrain. Effective Generational Ministry equips ministers to effectively know, love, and serve the entire body of Christ. Combining biblical and social science insights with clear ministry applications, the authors offer a well-defined pathway for shepherding, teaching, mentoring, and discipleship in the twenty-first century."
--David Setran, Wheaton College; coauthor of Spiritual Formation in Emerging Adulthood

"A well-written and helpful book with both practical and biblical guidelines for ministering well to Baby Boomers, Gen Xers, and Millennials. I highly recommend it!"
--Siang-Yang Tan, Fuller Theological Seminary; author of Counseling and Psychotherapy: A Christian Perspective

"I am especially drawn to places where grounded research that helps students understand culture interacts with insightful biblical teaching and theological reflection. It's encouraging to find a text that aims at just such integration. Sbanotto's capacity to ask questions in her research that make generational studies suddenly relevant for anyone involved in ministry is a rare and welcome gift. To have this coupled with the careful critique and seasoned insight of Blomberg's long years of biblical study creates a text that is every bit as formational as informational. Adopt this as a text and you can count on many lively conversations!"
--Chris Kiesling, Asbury Theological Seminary; coauthor of Spiritual Formation in Emerging Adulthood

"Sbanotto and Blomberg travel the worlds of sociology, anthropology, theology, biblical studies, and ecclesiology on behalf of the church to help congregations navigate differences across Boomers, Gen Xers, and Millennials. Their book is fresh, well researched, and encouraging. It reveals the wonderful array of differences among these three generational cohorts and how to meet their specific needs in the church. This book will keep church leaders well prepared to engage in effective ministry for generations to come."
--Matthew D. Kim, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary
