Lazy, Antisocial and Selfish: Stories of Hope from a New Generation

Lazy, Antisocial and Selfish: Stories of Hope from a New Generation

by Lyndon Bowring (Foreword), Gavin Calver (Author), Simeon Whiting (Contributor), Gavin Calver (Author)

Synopsis

There is a widespread myth that young people are feckless and irresponsible. To contradict this, Gavin and Simeon present twelve groups of real young people, and the adults who helped to form, nurture and develop them. Their book explores how these groups began, grew, experienced the presence of God, and acted to change their communities in Jesus' name. It will encourage readers to see young people as exciting, challenging, vibrant and potential revolutionaries. It will challenge young readers to emulate the true-life stories within the book, and take steps to revolutionise their churches, schools and communities. It will also show that to be a 'youth leader', it is not necessary to be a spiritual giant, but simply a faithful servant of God.
