Today's relentless, consumer culture - dominated by popular media's emphasis on bigger, better, and more, and catering to teenagers' every want and desire - is leaving our youth adrift in a sea of conflicting messages. This book explores the shifts needed to move from the fragmented, isolated and consumer-driven story for youth and towards a more compelling story of meaning, purpose, and a life lived differently than the one served up by consumder culture. It is of particular importance to people involved in the lives of teenagers, whether youth workers, ministers, parents, or students of youth ministry.
