WHO ARE THEY? WHAT DRIVES THEM?
HOW WILL THEIR FIATH CHANGE THEIR LIVES--AND YOURS?
Saving sex for marriage. Attending the Latin Mass. Witnessing to others about Christ. Babyboomers largely rejected these trappings of traditional Christianity--so why are their children embracing them with such fervor? author Colleen Carroll taps into the restless hearts of America's Gen-X believers, revealing their deep attraction to tradition, longing for truth, and determinatin to change the world. As Carroll writes, "The grassroots movement they have started bears watching because it has thrived in the most unlikely places, captured the hearts of the most unlikely people, and aims to effect the most unlikely of outcomes: a revitalization of American Christiantiy and culture."
Colleen Carroll blends investigative reporting with profound analysis to reveal a world of young people that most of us do not know exists. This brillant young journalist opens the door to exciting and inspiring vistas."

"With the knowledge of an insider and the sprightly facility of a good journalist, Colleen Carroll tells one of the largely unhearalded stories of our time: the turn of so many highly educated young American toward serious religious commitment. How did these young people became, as she puts it so well, 'defenders of orthodoxy in an age that denigrates dogma'? Carroll unravels the mystery in a book that will become an important document of our time. The orthodox, the unorthodox, and the flexible souls in between will find grist here for lively argument and serious reflection."
