Books by Tom Couser

Many millennials, those born in the last two decades of the twentieth century, have turned their backs to mainline Christianity. Young adults who grew up in the church have not followed the faith traditions of their parents. Tom Couser proposes that the churchs message is still relevant and speaks to the needs of millennials. In this book he examines the issues and obstacles that keep the church from being effective in reaching todays teens and young adults.

Our world has changed. Some of the values and beliefs that Americans have held for generations have become passé. Many teens and young adults have added the church to the list of things that are irrelevant to their lives. Tom Couser has over forty years of experience working with teens and their families. Passing the Torch addresses the shift in faith and values and helps older adults understand the world of the millennial generation. Tom also offers ideas on how adults can impact the lives of those under the age of thirty. We must be people of hope.
