Branded: Adolescents Converting From Consumer Faith
Katherine Turpin
Branded, the second title in the YOUTH MINISTRY ALTERNATIVES
series, addresses and examines three key elements:
1) the distortion of adolescent vocation in a consumer-focused
culture;
2) the dream that adolescents would discover the freedom to
live into a vocational path not dominated by consumer culture; and
3) an educational process of enlivening agency and
imagination that would allow for such freedom of vocational development.
