Overview

"Born between 1965 and 1983, the young adults of Generation X grew up in an era of unprecedented wealth and consumerism. Rebelling against the liberal family, social, and academic environments in which they were raised, some have made strengthening their faith a priority. The New Faithful is a groundbreaking book that examines the growing trend toward religious orthodoxy among today's young adults. Author and journalist Colleen Carroll offers strong opinions on how this movement might transform a society steeped in moral relativism and secularism. Blending investigative journalism with in-depth analysis, Carroll seeks the reasons behind the choice of orthodoxy in a society that often denigrates traditional morality and rejects organized religion. ""Carroll combines first-hand reporting with social-science metrics to examine a remarkable trend toward religious orthodoxy among Americans..."" -- Wall Street Journal ""...novel and timely...a book that generously and comprehensively examines a group that is often misunderstood and caricatured."" -- Publisher's Weekly ""...you can't afford to leave this book unread."" -- Fr. Benedict J. Groeschel, CFR, author, Journey Towards God"
