review 1: What has caused our churches to become so age-segregated and youth ministry to be almost untouchable by even the most Christ-centered of critics? In this book Scott takes an in-depth and often painful examination of age-segregation, what has led to it in today's churches, and the immense ramifications it has played. This book bases itself not on the pragmatic principles of a single man but on the sole sufficiency of Scripture. Grab your Bible and prepare to be challenged.
review 2: I agree with other reviews I've read of this book. While I think the general thought is, indeed, accurate, I found the author a bit heavy-handed with it. A good read, but read it with a grain of salt. Unfortunately, rather than writing disclaimers in the beginning, the writer tend
... mores to throw the baby out with the bath water and then go searching for the baby. If you are planning on reading it, know that ahead of time. Understand that after he bashes everything we are doing, he then goes back and gives the occasional, "...that's not to say it's all bad, or all youth ministers are satan..." type of line. less
