by Melinda Lundquist Denton
In Back Pocket God, Melinda Lundquist Denton and Richard Flory provide a look beyond conflicting stories that argue that emerging adults are either overwhelmingly leaving religion, or that they are earnest spiritual seekers maintaining a significant place in their lives for religion.

For emerging adults, God has become increasingly remote yet is highly personalized to meet their particular needs.
