Social isolation across generations is epidemic. But there's still time to end divisive generational stereotypes and reclaim the social connections that unite all of us. This book explores how we got here and how we might change course and foster lasting, rewarding relationships across among generations--from Boomers to Millennials.

Where do you fit? Restoring Relationships within the Generations _______________________________________________________________________ Drs. Scott and Carolyn Buss, authors of numerous books, recording artists, co-founders and directors of the Institute of Music, Worship & the Arts and All Nations House of Prayer; concert artists, teachers, missionaries, speakers. Their passionate love for music has led them to the nations, (where they have ushered people from varying ethnic, generational and denominational backgrounds into the presence of the Lord, as they've played in great concert halls, ministered in numerous churches and schools, entertained thousands in elegant hotel ballrooms, performed in the historical East Wing of the White House and other governmental buildings.) The key point is not what they have accomplished or where they have been, but that they have played their violin and piano no differently for the audiences of a few in the remotest of mission fields or in small local gatherings. The reason being is because they, like Johann Sebastian Bach, minister unto the greatest audience wherever they are, and that is - God Almighty, the honored KING. He is worthy of the deepest of expressions from the heart, combined with excellence, which is ministered from worshiping priests before the Lord for His glory. Whether in song, spoken messages or in the books they write, their message is the same - More Love, More Unity, More Peace .... for the heart cries of broken relationships in marriages and families, split churches, damaged friendships. People hurt and don't know what to do. _______________________________________________________________________ "Reading this book caused me to see that there is a way to walk in truth and life, that people can be real with each other and walk in love. Families are suffering; trust is waned. This book gives clear revelatory answers and lots of encouragement." LY Thomas: artist, teacher, intercessor

The one book every parent, teacher, coach, and youth pastor should read. This landmark book paints a compelling-and sobering-picture of what could happen to our society if we don't change the way we relate to today's teens and young adults. Researched-based and solution-biased, it moves beyond sounding an alarm to outlining practical strategies to: * Guide "stuck" adolescents and at-risk boys to productive adulthood * Correct crippling parenting styles * Repair damage from (unintentional) lies we've told kids * Guide them toward real success instead of superficial "self-esteem" * Adopt education strategies that engage (instead of bore) an "i" generation * Pull youth out of their "digital" ghetto into the real world * Employ their strengths and work with their weaknesses on the job * Defuse a worldwide demographic time bomb * Equip Generation iY to lead us into the future

As seen in Time, USA TODAY, The Atlantic, The Wall Street Journal, and on CBS This Morning, BBC, PBS, CNN, and NPR, iGen is crucial reading to understand how the children, teens, and young adults born in the mid-1990s and later are vastly different from their Millennial predecessors, and from any other generation. With generational divides wider than ever, parents, educators, and employers have an urgent need to understand today’s rising generation of teens and young adults. Born in the mid-1990s up to the mid-2000s, iGen is the first generation to spend their entire adolescence in the age of the smartphone. With social media and texting replacing other activities, iGen spends less time with their friends in person—perhaps contributing to their unprecedented levels of anxiety, depression, and loneliness. But technology is not the only thing that makes iGen distinct from every generation before them; they are also different in how they spend their time, how they behave, and in their attitudes toward religion, sexuality, and politics. They socialize in completely new ways, reject once sacred social taboos, and want different things from their lives and careers. More than previous generations, they are obsessed with safety, focused on tolerance, and have no patience for inequality. With the first members of iGen just graduating from college, we all need to understand them: friends and family need to look out for them; businesses must figure out how to recruit them and sell to them; colleges and universities must know how to educate and guide them. And members of iGen also need to understand themselves as they communicate with their elders and explain their views to their older peers. Because where iGen goes, so goes our nation—and the world.
