Confused by a world of conflicting values, "young persons are pleading for help in facing life's most important ques-tions. If faith is life's foundation, then we had best help youth to build it." This is Jones's message to parents and church leaders, based on his professional experience as both a Chris-tian educator and a church pastor. He views the nurturing of faith in youth as a continuing process-one which does not stop after the decision for church membership is made. The background material and thoughtful approach to the responsibility of parents and the church will help both to determine how they can best nurture on a continuing basis, a lifetime of faithfulness that takes shape in adolescent youth and extends through the adult years. Every concerned parent and pastor will find a wealth of encouragement and direction to help them discover answers to the question "Do I hand faith to youth or do they create their own?"
