Book

Faith Formation with a New Generation presents a holistic and comprehensive approach to faith formation grounded in the best understanding of the key factors that contribute to growth in faith and discipleship in the first two decades of life and build a solid foundation for a lifelong faith. You will find  something old in this book—the centrality of an intergenerational faith community and the family; and you will find  something new—twenty-first century approaches and methods for engaging a new generation of young people (Gen Z) and their parents.
