Description: "Chris Altrock uses findings of the Barna Research Group and his own experiences as a preacher to support his descriptions of several characteristics common to the unchurched or the lost today. Recognizing that this audience is vastly different from previous generations, Altrock suggests several approaches to postmodern listeners, challenging preachers to change in order to reach the "field of harvest" that Jesus calls the church to love."--BOOK JACKET.
