My Generation: A Real Journey of Change and Hope
Y is the generation of tattoos, cell phones, social networking, and iPods. It is the generation of authenticity, social justice, racial diversity, and community. But it is also the generation of broken homes, school shootings, immense performance pressure, loneliness, self-indulgence, and insecurity. Christians have largely failed to bring restoration to this 70 million me...more

While clearly influenced by Donald Miller's writing, "mY Generation" is no knock-off. Josh shares his own stories and thoughts in his own brand of the stream-of-consciousness style. Each chapter explores a different aspect of the experience and worldview of Generation Y (the generation after Generation X--basically people born in the 80's and 90's), and a hope for the redemption of our generation.

I met Josh the other day and I've listened to him speak to us and I'm so fascinated by his life and everything he has to say. He's an extremely nice guy, and I am excited to finish my autographed copy of mY Generation.

I found this book challenging me ... It caused me to engage in self-examination. My hope is to grow.
I appreciate Josh's style of communication.

Really liking it. Josh has a great love for people and he's a great engaging writer. Hope to see more.
I am really enjoying this book. Fits my generation perfectly.
An excellent book! Everyone, not just people in ministry, should read it.
Great book! Takes real life stories and applies great lessons to life. Perfect for anyone who feels broken inside.
The writing style of this book was interesting. The author brought up some good and thought-provoking points. I especially liked the parts about meeting people in their "mess", inviting people in and losing the false facade, and giving grace. I had never thought much about relevancy before, but I found the author's thoughts on relevancy as humility to be intriguing and probably the most noteworthy explanation in the book.
What a great read! Story after story of how Josh has been transformed throughout his life to be more like God. Great insight into our generation and the trends in society today. I feel so much more prepared to battle my own demons and help others in their walk toward the Cross. Anyone who wishes to minister to Gen Y should read this book.
