Christian Nonfiction. Religion & Spirituality. Sociology. Nonfiction. HTML:

At more than 78 million strong, the Millennialsâ??those born between 1980 and 2000â??have surpassed the Boomers as the larger and more influential generation in America. Now, as its members begin to reach adulthood, where the traits of a generation really take shape, best-selling research author Thom Rainer (Simple Church) and his son Jess (a Millennial born in 1985) present the first major investigative work on Millennials from a Christian worldview perspective.Sure to interest even the secularists who study this group, The Millennials is based on 1200 interviews with its namesakes that aim to better understand them personally, professionally, and spiritually. Chapters report intriguing how-and-why findings on family matters (they are closer-knit than previous generations), their desire for diversity (consider the wave of mixed race and ethnic adoptions), Millennials and the new workplace, their attitude toward money, the media, the environment, and perhaps most tellingly, religion.The authors close with a thoughtful response to how the church can engage and minister to what is now in fact the largest generation in America's history… (altro)

This was an intriguing book. I learned the Millenial generation is, at over 70 million strong, larger than the Baby Boomer generation, and is influential because of it. As this book and study defines them, the Millenials are born between 1980 and 2000. The authors attempt to be objective in their study and the reporting of results, and they were interested in understanding the relationships and views of this generation. Their particular and transparent bias is of Evangelical American Christians, yet they structured their questions for the respondents broadly, with somewhat wider application.

On the whole, it is an enlightening book, providing insights into the habits, priorities, and views of the world of this group of Americans. The questions the survey team asked were probing at times in an effort to clarify understanding of views of Christianity, of technology, of education, of family, of priorities and more.

The larger portion this book reads as a sociological study on the millenial generation. After about 3/4 of the way through, the author's writing quality takes a nosedive as he begins to discuss in a less objective and less clear manner his findings relevant to religion. ( )

Although the research was incredibly interesting, the writing itself was absolutely terrible. Often redundant and cliche, I found myself rolling my eyes at least once every page. If you are interested in the trends currently displayed by the Millennial generation, the research is well done, and thus worth the read. ( )

While other books address the topic of this millennial generation in greater depth and with more focus in specific areas of application, the Rainers have developed a good primer for those who have never explored the intricacies of this rising generation.
