Reading Materials On The iGen Nation
Ever so often, I like to pass along books, journals, or resources that I think would be of help to churches in ministering to the Millennial generation. Here are some "reads" that I think you'll enjoy.
The Supremacy of Christ in a Postmodern World.
One of my favorite books discussing the virtues of Jesus in today's shifting culture. With contributors like John Piper, D.A. Carson, Mark Driscoll, and Tim Keller how can you go wrong.
Vintage Jesus.
Mark Driscoll's excellent book on bringing Jesus to the post-Christian generation is one of the best. He's a proven communicator with the iGen crowd and does not back away from straight orthodoxy. A must have for those that are teaching young people.
Lost and Found and Planting New Churches in a Postmodern Age.
Both of theses works are from Ed Stetzer, author and director of LifeWay Research, and are packed with keen research and insights into the Millennial generation. Lost and Found deals with reaching the unchurched young of America. Planting New Churches centers on developing churches that will take us into the 21st century.
Leadership Journal:Summer 2009.
One of the best journals dealing with the peaks and valleys of the iGen nation. Some very challenging and thought provoking articles that engages the Church to redefine their ministry approach to this generation.

Thanks for this list! I'm a big believer that recognizing generational differences is a real help to ministry - and so, for college ministers, now we are only dealing with Millennials.
I have been most helped by Tim Elmore's materials on this. In fact, he just came out with a new resource - about "Generation iY," the mid-generation shift he believes has happened.
Anyway, that thing can be found here:

He may have more about Millennials / Gen Y on his site, as well, and he talks about that stuff pretty regularly on his blog, email, etc.
I enjoy Tim's thoughts on Millennials. I think the first time I saw him was at Grace College for a seminar he did back in 2000.
