Timely, Wise, Real, Nov 12 2007
By Michael J. Gormley - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Youth Culture 101 (Paperback)
I am a youth minister of over 300 high school students and to 250 junior high students. I discovered this book through the Youth Specialties podcast a few months back and was so taken by author Walt Mueller's report of youth culture that I purchased and devoured the book.
This book offers parents and youth workers alike an opportunity to see the major trends and attitudes that are working within youth culture. I think the best treatment in this book is on Media and Marketing. Utilizing this information, I taught a class to parents of teens and then had a Life Night (our weekly gatherings in our Life Teen program) for our senior high students on Media and Marketing.
This book, especially in conjunction with "Hurt: Inside the World of Today's Teenager", can equip the parent or youth worker to become "cross-cultural missionaries" for the life and love of the young people today.

Helpful Work of Research on Current Youth Culture, Mar 24 2010
By William Turner "John 5:24" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Youth Culture 101 (Paperback)
Mueller's book is certainly fact-filled and informative which shines through as the strength of his book. Mueller, who updates his research for this book every few years, has given youth pastors, workers and volunteers a helpful guide for informing them about the world most American teens live in today. His research is well-documented and the quotes from teens and their peers help reinforce his data.
I believe the book is a helpful aid when looking for current data and research findings on our youth, but the book is certainly not a "how to" guide for youth ministry and Christian life formation. It's meant to be a survey over the various issues faced by current teens and the book definitely succeeds at that time and again with the numerous problems it discusses, from sex and drugs to entertainment mediums and peer relationships.
This book is a good guide for any youth pastor or volunteer wanting an update on current youth culture from a reliable and respected source in evangelical Christian youth ministry. Though the book is more of an informative survey than a helpful methodology relating to current youth ministry, I definitely recommend it for all those wanting a trustworthy source for research and engagement.
