Retelling the story of young adult Christians

This book focuses on the Christian life narratives §of young adults who have non-Christian family §members in the Republic of Korea. Within the unique §phenomenon of Korean familism and the patriarchal §family system, Koreans tend to consider the §religious identity of their own family when choosing §and/or converting to a religion even though they §enjoy freedom of choice. In particular, young adult §Christians who are in the period of emerging §adulthood may face an even more difficult situation §when they practise a different religion from that of §their family. Through this book, the stories of the §young adult Christians will be draw into our present §life journey. When the young adult Christians have a §voice in our society, the discourses will be more §evident and this could stimulate new possibilities §to discover alternative stories which might offer us §different view points for understanding the stories §of Christians who are struggling with their non-§Christian family. The research should be useful to §professionals who are working with young adult §Christians or to anyone else who may be interested §in the narrative approach.
