Beyond the Myths: The Journey to Adulthood

by Daniel Bagby

Author and professor Daniel Bagby’s latest book, Beyond The The Journey To Adulthood , addresses some of the unique challenges confronting today’s emerging young adult. Exploring that gray area between adolescence and adulthood, the book identifies their unique struggles in regard to personal identity, sexuality, intimacy, vocation, personal choice, and spiritual definition. The book further explores pastoral care options for “would-be adults” as they experience the challenges of confusing options, unclear identities, dysfunctional family messages, vocational choices, and spiritual winters on their way to full adulthood.

A quick read that has some gems about what is commonly called emergent adulthood. (He calls it providential adulthood.) Can be helpful for parents or adults looking to better minister to this age group. Christian Smith's Souls in Transition is definitely a more exhaustive and researched book but this one is very accessible.
