Packed with both research and practical ideas, <i>Growing Young</i> shows pastors and ministry leaders how to position their churches to engage younger generations in a way that breathes vitality, life, and energy into the <i>whole</i> church.<br/><br/>Visit www.churchesgrowingyoung.org for more information.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><b>All churches grow old.
