The Next Christians

Gabe Lyons discerns some fresh, exciting traits of the next generation of Christians in the U.S. and describes them in his book with the above title. Here are the six traits he observes in Christians in their 20s:

1. Provoked, not offended
2. Creators, not critics
3. Called, not employed
4. Grounded, not distracted
5. In community, not alone
6. Countercultural, not "relevant"

Lyons calls the Next Christians "Restorers": "because they envision the world as it was meant to be and they work toward that vision."
