Who's Got Time?

Peterson and Fetterman demonstrate their own claim that everything is illuminated and everyone can tell a story. Their stories illuminate the ancient and engage the new, with plenty of laughter and aha! moments scattered throughout the book. Whatever your age or experience with religious practices in the past, this book will inspire you to engage your spirituality in new, uplifting, and transformative ways.

“Finally!” That was the single word I returned to over and over as I read this book. Finally! Finally, someone, in this case two someones--two women--both pastors no less (seriously?!)-- have had the courage to write down candidly and creatively what young adults are about as they move through the world as spiritual beings coping daily with the demands of life and love and living while at the same time genuinely in search of something that is greater than themselves. These two writers, young adults themselves, speak with a genuine spirit of humility, authenticity, and courage. They speak about God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, the Church, the world, their generation, and themselves in ways that are not preachy but rather open conversation not simply for the sake of conversation but ultimately for the sake of what truly matters in this world and beyond. They speak to their own generation and to others who have gone before them and are coming afterward. Ultimately, they speak the truth in love, and I am so grateful...finally!

"In a time when the media is abuzz with stats about young adults and religion -- why we leave, why we stay, what we want, who we are -- Amy Fetterman and Teri Peterson provide a much-needed bridge between generations and lifestyles. For those seeking to understand Gen Xers and Millennials, their introduction is an insightful and accessible primer that creates a window into the hopes, dreams and realities of 'The Missing Generation.' For young adults who feel the competing pressures of busyness and spiritual longing, they provide twelve chapters of everyday oasis - ways to engage the Sacred in rest and work, community and solitude, new technology and ancient ritual. This living water is perfect for those parched places that young adults know so well, yet there is enough of it for all seekers of all generations. Each area of spiritual practice has room for you and me, no matter who we are. Fetterman and Peterson have crafted a blessing and delight."
