I fully admit I am not the intended audience for this book, but I found it pretty shallow. I really wish there had been more substance and history about liturgy/ritual/history.

I got a little annoyed by the author's repeated name-dropping "I traveled to [city] to visit my good friend [name]." But he did have some good categories for the multiplicity of liturgical traditions that "young people" are drawn to.

I have felt so seen by this book! Bevins explores current trends among young adults in the North American church, drawing on some powerful interviews and stories from diverse sources. This book explores what it means for the ancient church and its practices to meet transient, relationally-starved, and mystery-hungry people where they are.
For anyone trying to wrap their heads around why traditional liturgy has become so attractive to a younger generation, Bevins explains clearly and with compelling passion. Not to mention his endnotes make for a fantastic list for further reading.
