Product Description:
In most discussions and analyses of American teenage life, one major topic is curiously overlooked--religion. Yet most American teens say that religious faith is important in their lives. What is going on in the religious and spiritual lives of American teenagers? What do they actually believe? What religious practices do they engage in? Do they expect to remain loyal to the faith of their parents? Or are they abandoning traditional religious institutions in search of a new, more "authentic" spirituality? Answering these and many other questions, Soul Searching tells the definitive story of the religious and spiritual lives of contemporary American teenagers.

Rating : - Review of Soul Searching
This book is a very interesting and thought provoking look at teenagers and religion in todays society. I was impressed at the variety of the interviews and the responses and how very different and varied teens view spiritual topics. As a Youth Director in a small rural church I feel this was a very eye opening book about how we are falling short as parents, teachers, and church leaders. We have a huge responsibility to the Christian youth who are the future of our churches.
