Mahan, Warren, and White tell a story of the ways in which our society has colluded to shape a domesticated adolescence. The authors believe a Christian response to this challenge must be multilevel, addressing the problem at three levels--society, church, and individual. The authors propose reclaiming practices of discernment that both engage congregations in social awareness and involve individuals in discerning fuller vocational opportunities than those allowed by popular cultural norms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMichael Warren is Professor for Religious Education and Catechetical Ministry in the Department of Theology, St. John's University, New York, and author of many books, including Youth, Gospel, Liberation (Harper Collins, 1987); Youth and the Future of the Church (Wipf \u0026amp; Stock, 2002); and At This Time In This Place (Trinity, 1999). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e David F.
