Righteous: Dispatches from the Evangelical Youth Movement
After several years of documenting America's Christian youth  for NPR in the late 1990s, Sandler sensed there was more to tell about  what she calls the "Disciple Generation." So, like any good journalist,  she went back out on the road, traveling from coast to coast seeking  the youth who "feel broken and lonely, who desire kinship and purpose,  who look for structure and hope, and through their deft organizing  efforts and boundless energy...are amassing their own civilian army." A  Christian army, that is. Readers will encounter rebel skateboarders for  Jesus, tattooed crusaders against abortion, and even a pastor in  Atlanta named Creflo Dollar who waxes on about "why God wants you to be  rich." In clear, compelling prose, Sandler tells of spending the night  camping with members of Rock for Life and visiting one of the most  militant Christian colleges in America. She narrates with vivid detail  the genesis and current status of some of this country's fastest  growing and most extremist evangelical youth groups. She also reveals  the fascinating stories of the individuals who have found salvation  within them-from the ordinary convert to the charismatic leader. With a  flair for storytelling and description, Sandler provides a riveting  read for anyone interested in generation next. --Publisher’s  Weekly, StarredWith a flair for storytelling and description, Sandler provides a riveting read for anyone interested in generation next. --Publisher's Weekly, starred
