Googling God by Mike Hayes
The rise of technology coupled with the tragic events of the past 6 years has created a shift in religiosity among the younger generations in the Catholic Church. Many of those above age 30 (Gen X) have been attracted to communal events that connect both disaffected and devout Catholics, who long for union with one another while eschewing the world on the solitary. Those below age 30 (Millennials) have a much different outlook. They long for a more individualistic spirituality, one that works like the search engine Google. They seek immediate gratification alongside a comforting sense of truth in a world gone mad with the rise of terrorism, natural disaster, and random violence. In Googling God, Mike Hayes has given us: - One of the only books addressing the growing divide between Gen X and the Millennial generation. - A book that is neither liberal nor conservative and doesn't play to either side's agenda. - Solid interviews with a wide spectrum of young adults. - An approach that is both practical and theoretical--but never stuffy or academic. In Googling God, Mike Hayes addresses the larger question of how to minister effectively to two radically diversified groupings. His practical guide tells you exactly how to minister to both without alienating one group from the other and also how to continue to attract the attention of those who never darken the door of a church.| SKU | Unavailable |
