“Generation NeXt Marriage by Tricia Goyer is a terrific, hip Christian guide to marriage for Generation X. As the first generation of latch-key kids who often came from broken homes, they view marriage in a way completely different than their parents and grandparents. They are less likely to see divorce as an option and more likely to require authenticity and honesty in their relationships. Each chapter begins with a lyric from a 1970s or 80s song, and Goyer uses that to jumpstart her conversation. And that's how her writing reads: like a conversation with a good friend. She uses statistics and studies to make her points, and them backs them up with Scripture. Goyer is very active online and uses anecdotes from her loyal readers about their marriages to add layers and depth to each discussion. Goyer is just as honest as Gen Xrs demand, including a chapter about a former boyfriend. She'll never make you feel guilty; she encourages and uplifts with humor and compassion. She's always a joy to read.”

“I'll be blogging about this March 24, 2008 at http://thesurrenderedscribe.blogspot.com/but I have to say this book is so revealing. It uses lyrics from songs I grew up with to show the thought process of my age group and our choices. This is full of statistics, Biblical example and encouragement and raw, fresh sharing from the author. If you are a Gen X'er this book should not be a wish, it should be a must.”
