Generational IQ: Christianity Isn't Dying, Millennials Aren't the Problem, and the Future Is Bright
Why is my daughter drifting from God? Why can’t I explain my life choices to my parents? When will my son get a real job?
Within the last several decades, the world has shifted dramatically. The cracks of this fundamental shift appear in our economy, in our cultural debates, in our political landscape, and, most important, in our churches. The problem is we tend to overreact to these changes, fearing that Christianity is dying. We need better Generational IQ, so we can respond to the changes but not be terrified by them. We need a wise generational coach. Haydn Shaw is that generational expert, showing us the roots of this generational shift and how it affects every one of us. Each generation, whether it’s the aging Boomers or the young Millennials, approaches God with a different set of questions and needs based on the times in which they grew up. Haydn walks you through these generational differences and paints a vision of hope for the future.

The book is really going to published as "Generational IQ: Christianity Isn't Dying, Millennials Aren't the Problem, and the Future is Bright" but I can't get that to come up on Goodreads. Well worth reading and discussing and thinking about in relation to church and life, in general.
