M aking a difference in the lives of teenagers is much more than pizza and video games. In fact, says veteran youth worker Ron Hutchcraft, working with teens today is more like cross-cultural ministry... or fighting in a battle. Unchurched young people know little or nothing about Christ, and most Christian young people make little difference for Him. Hutchcraft's passion is to reach young people in both categories and to show adults how urgent the mission is. Combining plenty of illustrations and examples of effective methods, this book gives an up-close look at the world of today's teenager.

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 will provide knowledge, practical methods, and a vision for youth leaders, pastors, parents, and anybody who cares about today's teenagers.
