Baby Boomer Blues

Gary R. Collins Β· 1992
95/100
πŸ‘ Worth It

Baby Boomer Blues sits in an underserved corner of Christian counseling literature: practical guidance for pastors and therapists working with the generation that reshaped American culture and is now wrestling with midlife. Gary Collins and Timothy Clinton organize the book into three clean sections β€” understanding boomers, counseling them, and reaching the generations around them β€” which makes it genuinely usable as a reference rather than just a read. The explicit Christian framework is a strength for its target audience. The honest caveat is that the sociological portrait of boomers is anchored to the 1990s, so some cultural specifics feel dated. For pastors or seminary students wanting a faith-grounded entry point into boomer-focused care, this still delivers.
