About the Book

The generation known as ‘millennials’ are now emerging into adulthood. They face opportunities and challenges no generation has previously faced. For the church they are the ‘missing generation’.  Ruth Perrin’s landmark study of emerging adults who as teenagers described themselves as Christians, reveals what has happened to this apparently “lost generation” – those who have lost faith altogether, those with a faith but who have withdrawn from the church and those with an ongoing active faith which is nonetheless now broader and deeper than previously.  Considering the factors which help shape millennial belief, Changing Shape reflects on the challenges and opportunities that ‘missing generation’ bring to the Church, and considers what lessons the Church can learn from the Millennial mindset.

Review :
“I offer a health warning life will be much simpler for you if you don’t read this book. But if you do you will quickly realise that things have got to change in our Church and this change will have to go deep and will turn long held assumptions upside down. I am struggling to think of a more important book that will be published this year. Ruth Perrin’s research is quite simply a game changer. “ "The literature on millennials and GenZ can only be summed up as divergent. Some herald these coming and arrived generations as the most important, talented, and reflective people the western world has yet to produce. Others, with the same amount of letters behind their names and CVs populated with the same number of publications, call them the sign of the apocalypse, those bringing a death to our culture and even more dire assertions. It’s into this environment that Ruth Perrin offers her insightful (and very well researched) Changing Shape: The Faith Lives of Millennials. This is a book that promises to help all pastors, parents, and others looking for a balanced and faithful description of these younger generations. It's a helpful resource all interested in young people should study."
