Helping Millennials Thrive is a truly unique resource that identifies key challenges facing the Millennial Generation and offers practical wisdom for helping them thrive.

With contributions from Ché Ahn (Harvest Rock Church, Pasadena, CA), Samuel Rodriguez (National Hispanic Leadership Conference), Raleigh Washington (Awakening the Voice of Truth), Ken Sande (Peacemaker Ministries and Relational Wisdom 360), Jason Jimenez (Stand Strong Ministries), Jeffery Phillips (Biblical Studies and Theology Professor, Arizona Christian University), Garry Ingraham (Love & Truth Network), John Jackson (President, William Jessup University), Isaac Crockett (Stand in the Gap Media), Lucas Miles (National Radio Host and Author), and Jo Anna Dias (Gracious Gift Ministries).
