Trade ReviewI...found the book deeply engrossing. -- Robert S. Elwood, University of Southern California
...a helpful analysis of a hitherto somewhat neglected set of young adult Christians. -- Robert S. Elwood, University of Southern California * Journal of Contemporary Religion *
...fine collection of contemporary oral histories. -- Joh Pahl, RELIGIOUS STUDIES REVIEW * Journal of Contemporary Religion *
This is an important book on American religion that at the same time is hard to lay down. Anyone fascinated by the changing roles and experiences of religion in contemporary American life will find it intriguing, and the lively stories of ordinary people who have discovered the continuing power of traditional forms of Christianity will keep the pages turning. An eye-opening account of an underappreciated phenomenon. -- Robert Ellwood, University of Southern California
