Lost and Found is written to the church, using often-surprising results from the copious research here to strike another nerve and break some long established assumptions about how to effectively engage the lost. Leading missiologist Ed Stetzer and his associates first offer a detailed investigation of the four younger unchurched types. With a better understanding of their unique experiences, they next clarify the importance each type places on community, depth of content, social responsibility, and making cross-generational connections in relation to spiritual matters. Most valuably, Lost and Found finds the churches that have learned to reach unchurched young adults by paying close attention to those key markers vetted by the research. Their exciting stories will make it clear how your church can bring searching souls from this culture to authentic faith in Christ.

" Insightful book full of statistics and data, but wished it had more qualitative research. Still wonderful to read, and a great insight into the church's relationship with the 20-30 somethings. "
" I was really hoping this book would provide good strategies for reaching out to the unchurched. It ended up being mostly statistics unfortunately. "
