Marked for Mission: Youth in Action

by Sharon Ely Pearson (Editor), Bronwyn Clark Skov (Editor), Katharine Jefferts Schori (Foreword by)

Overview

Put faith into action with this mission guide book
Building on the success of Call on Me: A Prayer Book for Young People, this book focuses on the themes and core values of youth ministries in the Episcopal Church. Youth seek ways to put their faith into action and claim their “power,” which is a hallmark of the millennial generation according to recent research. This book offers reflections and prayers to help young people do just that—to live out their faith at home, church, community, and beyond. It specifically addresses Episcopal identity for emerging adults, ages 15-25. Available in kivar or paperback binding.
