How do we "do" church in this era of cynicism? Jimmy Long looks at the connections between postmodernism and the emerging generations--GenXers and millennials--highlighting implications for evangelism and discipleship. Here is a hopeful strategy for ministry that will appeal to a generation starved for belonging.

"When I began struggling with the issues wrapped up in the term 'emerging postmodern culture, ' I felt completely alone. If only I had known Jimmy Long! He would have been a wise, rooted, strategic and hopeful guide and friend. Now, anyone engaging with the challenges of ministry in our changing culture can benefit from Jimmy's insights through Emerging Hope. It's clear, understandable, thoughtful and practical, and it will be a significant resource for any church or ministry committed to mission in today's world."--Brian McLaren, pastor and author of A New Kind of Christian

"The success of the church in reaching Generation X requires that we be guided by practitioners who are both theologically informed and culturally attuned. Jimmy Long is among the best."--Stanley Grenz, Carey/Regent College, author of A Primer on Postmoderism
