Hurt 2.0

Hurt 2.0:
Inside the World of Today’s Teenagers
By Chap Clark (Baker Academic)
A 2012 Outreach Resource of the Year

“The expanded and updated version of Chap Clark’s Hurt, this book is a must-read for parents and youth ministry workers who want to serve students with the utmost effectiveness. Clark does a great job of blending the research on the actions and behaviors of teenagers, what impacts their lives, what many of them are thinking, and whom they are most likely to listen to. Any concerned parent, senior pastor, or youth ministry leader who wants to understand “the world beneath,” which our teenagers live in, should have a copy of this book and review it with your spouse or ministry teams.” —Russell St. Bernard, from the March/April 2012 issue of Outreach magazine

I think we have lived our Christian lives on the periphery of God's grace and goodness and favor for so long that we don't know how good the food is for ourselves.
