Refilling the Church's Fountain of Youth is a must read for any individual who has a need for grasping a further understanding of why the decline is occurring within churches amongst the young adult population. Therefore, pastors, church leaders and the emerging population are encouraged to add this work to their repertoire to further enhance their knowledge and wisdom of the challenges that exist within retention and attraction of young adults. Additionally, the work provides the example of a strong church community that understands the benefits of providing the young adults with support, love and the freedom to develop into disciples without fear of judgment or contradiction. Finally, the work is designed to provide assistance to any denomination or church that has recognized the decline of membership as it relates to emerging adults. It is indeed a necessary tool that can provide assistance and guidance for anyone working in the trenches of ministry. -from the foreword by Lori D. Spears, D.Min.
