Thanks Blaine. It's an amazing Story indeed, and just continues getting
greater. Listen, what you did @ Story09 was remarkable. Your creativity and
heart is unmatched. If you ever have time to talk, let me know. I would
really like to hear your story and put you on the website.

Is "Act of Confession" going to be on the DVD's we are receiving? I wld
really like to put it out to my folks.

I just finished talking with T Fluharty. Another remarkable individual. You
can see more stories on www.EvenEyesSpeak.com

The one today is drawing a lot of attention. It's called "Second Chances and
Peanut Butter Sandwiches." It's an eye opener to my time in Africa.

Keep doing what your doing. Your changing people and making an impact on
Christianity and leadership.

My address is:
Adam Swedenburg

God Bless you bro!

I would like to read the book and do a review on my new site that is about to launch. The site strictly focuses on helping Gen X and Boomers understand and develop Gen Y to become spiritual leaders. I am also finishing my doctoral degree on Gen Y. I speak to Gen Y audiences regularly, and hope to also have a book coming out in the near future. Your book would allow me to help others help Gen Y. However, there are some other comments on here that are good and I think they all deserve a copy:) My friend, Ben Arment, knows how passionate I am about equipping Gen Y.

I want to see Jesus come back, and I think Gen Y has the potential to make that happen if the Church gets it's head out of it's...Balaam's Burrow and begins to point the overwhelming desire for redemption in this generation toward Him.

As a director of a residence hall on a college campus... I work with Millennial students everyday. I have learned a lot and read a lot of things about these students from a worldly view, but as a Christian I want to know more from a Godly view. I know that I have been put into a place to help students and help heal the broken, so any tool that could help me with that mission would be a blessing.

I am a Boomer. I wanted to be an architect. I wanted to design and build buildings. 35 years ago God reminded me that he had a different goal for me: to help build lives not buildings. So through Boomers, Busters, Gen-Xers, Gen-Yers, Millennials, Mosaics and whatever other tag you want to hang on them I have been honored and humbled to help build lives. I'm challenged by Bell, intrigued with Miller, informed by Rainer, simplified by Stanley, fascinated by Godin, empathetic with Kimbel, and forever grateful to Christ. I am a lifetime learner who has been a youth minister, associate minister, children's minister, preaching minister, and pastor of discipleship and adult education who God, in his infinite wisdom and humor, has lead to be the executive director of a Christian camp and retreat center.
If the quote from Josh's book is indicative of the rest of "My Generation" then that book needs to be a part of my arsenal of resources. I am an old dog who is forever learning new tricks, but I am thrilled to still be serving the same Master. I am constantly ministering with and ministering to Millennials. The more understanding I have of not just the surface issues, but the heart issues the better prepared I am to serve. So, if you think I would be a worthy recipient of the book I would be honored. Josh’s words resonate with my heart—I am thrilled to be walking the “ancient corridor” in such good company.

As a family pastor overseeing ministry areas from preschool through college, I find it interesting that we (the church) tend to leave the generations behind us with very little hope. I heard a quote this past week "We cannot sacrifice the next generation on the altar of our own tastes and preferences." That really hits home when you consider we would much rather be comfortable where we are then to get out of our comfort zone and make a difference.

At the time, a well established religion was already deeply rooted; strict, exclusive and drapped in self-righteousness. But then He showed up. A young rebel who's message was so unorthodox it couldn't be understood- atleast not by those who claimed they could see. In spite of their harsh resistence, He went on to establish the greatest change ever to revolution the face of religion. He was simple yet profound, different and yet so very relatable. He brought the Message with power and demonstration. He was unlike any previous.
It's time we listen and understand this generation and the means by which they're communicating the Message . I'm not born of this generation, but I wanna understand.

I am not a Y'er, but a parent of two Y'ers. I think this is an incredible generation, with so much energy and so much potential. I believe they want to tap into that potential even more than we, as parents, want them to. I love this generation; I love their spunk, I love their honesty, I love their openness, and I love how they love one another. I was originally inspired by an incredible woman whom the first time I saw her she was running down a small hill to the soccer fields with her long flowing, multi colored (and I mean multi) dress waving in the wind, yelling rather loudly, "David, how are you doing, I missed seeing you today, is everything okay?" Immediately I am thinking, 'who is this crazy woman and what is she doing - she is going to scare these kids'. David turned to her, his face immediately brightened and he said, 'Mrs. Riebock - I just love you!' and from there they had a wonderful conversation and by the time they were done talking, there was a crowd - each one known by her as she called them by name. They knew they were loved by one 'crazy old lady', whom they believed would always be there for them and who would always love them, no matter what! Josh, I am not writing this because it is your mother, but only because it is the truth and ever since that evening on the soccer field I've had a desire to be able to understand, relate to and love this generation like she did!! I am looking forward to the arrival of my recently ordered book - my son took my first book before I could read it - and he is loving it! Thanks!!

I spend much of my time learning how to communicate with a generation that doesn't always see things the way I do. Call me a tweener/buster/over the hill/midlife crisis dude, but it is a challenge for me to get the pulse of this next generation. I'd love to read Josh's insights.

Hook me up, please.

I am a Generation Y-er simply because I do not like to be defined as one.

That, and the understanding I have that someone who must have used a Z in place of an S at some point in the last 15 years is obviously the one who thought of the Y/Why reference for us.
