Synopsis

Lost and Found is written to the church, using often-surprising results from the copious research here to strike another nerve and break some long established assumptions about how to effectively engage the lost. Leading missiologist Ed Stetzer and his associates first offer a detailed investigation of the four younger unchurched types. With a better understanding of their unique experiences, they next clarify the importance each type places on community, depth of content, social responsibility, and making cross-generational connections in relation to spiritual matters. Most valuably, Lost and Found finds the churches that have learned to reach unchurched young adults by paying close attention to those key markers vetted by the research. Their exciting stories will make it clear how your church can bring searching souls from this culture to authentic faith in Christ.

You can find my full review at Quieted Waters. Lost and Found looks at the unchurched young people in America, and it considers how they can be reached. The book is broken into three sections, each dealing with a different aspect of the situation. The first third is a detailed look at studies conduct......more

Goodreads review by Aaron

Decent book with good insights. It has 3 sections, but the first is mostly mind-numbing raw research data. That section is great to have, but probably would be best as an appendix. Some people may get bogged down and not get through it. This would be a shame as parts 2 & 3 are where the meat of the......more
