Synopsis

The broad cultural phenomenon of youth dechurching is often accompanied by stories of broken-hearted parents. The objective of this book is to consider ways immigrant parents are impacted by generational assimilation and dechurching from ethno-religious communities. The original contribution of the book is in substantiating parents' experience from a spectrum of impacts. The author explores ways impact is intensified or minimized. Are you looking to improve your understanding of the risks and opportunities of handing on the faith? Have you been wrestling with the cultural assimilation of your children? Have you wondered how a biblical and interdisciplinary framework might help parents understand and even avert dechurching? Are you looking for supportive approaches for parents experiencing generational disconnect and difficult parenting transitions? The author discloses cultural myths that circulate on parenting and advocates improving support for parents struggling to spiritually launch their children. This book provides strategies for encountering transitional family complications if a youth leaves the faith and church.
