MEND THE GAP
Can the Church reconnect the Generations?
By Jason Gardner. IVP. 202 pages. £8.99
ISBN 978-1-84474-284-4

Drawing on a wide range of sources and demonstrating his breadth of cultural insight, Jason Gardener explores the huge challenge facing the church as it seeks to create a multi-generational community which is healthy, mutually beneficial and thoroughly biblical.

With an approach which is neither overly simplistic nor patronising, Jason unpacks some of the historic reasons for the creation of youth culture. He explores the way in which issues like consumerism, branding, peer pressure and technology influence our young people and how these have aided the generation gap.
