Customer Reviews

A Fresh Angle for Generation X

A great book! Until this point, all Generation X books I've read are ABOUT the generation and contain ministry tips. But this book, while it contains some helpful demographic information, is written TO Generation X. It moves from discussion about the generation into action for the generation. You may or may not agree with everything Cox presents, but his fresh angles will definitely make you think! I especially appreciated his discussion of life as a project. At first, I was unsure of whether to purchase the book, but now I'm glad I did. I highly recommend it!

Right on Target!

Cox correctly outlines issues faced by Generation X, and he then brilliantly widens the picture to include God. He is both sociologically and theologically astute, and also very intuitive. Cox is obviously very in-tune with his generation. In fact, I am sure he must have had me in mind when writing the book! It is full of the relevance and hope that Xers like me need to hear, and it has significantly deepened my understanding of God! I liked it so much the first time that I am now reading it again!

Theology from a GenX perspective!

I concur with the previous on-line reviewer that this is not a text on how to proselytize the GenXers (as if "they" are "other"!). But therein lies the value of this little book, for it does not apporach GenXers as "other," but rather explores Christian theology from a GenX perspective! Cox takes Sin seriously and does not candy-coat the gulf between God and mankind. But equally seriously, Cox proclaims the good news that God is for you! All this Cox does in a conversational manner, not in a persuasive lecture. I guess if a GenXer wanted to know what the Christian message is--and not be preached at or lectured--this is a solid start!
