Book excerpt: This book is about the faith of the second-generation Africans growing up in the diaspora. It makes a compelling argument for a missional praxis that gives the younger generation both the roots of their rich multi-faceted African heritage and the wings of freedom with which they can soar into the fullness of God's plans for them. The author believes that these young diaspora Africans will play a critical role in God's mission in Europe in the next few decades and must, therefore, be properly equipped and empowered. The book is a much-needed and ever-so-timely contribution to the ongoing conversation about African Christianity in the diaspora context. It articulates the situation of the second generation with clarity and will help readers understand aspects of what is needed to disciple them and release them for the mission of God in the world. The simplicity of its language and depth of research that has gone into it make it a highly recommendable resource for pastors, parents, youth workers, and everyone who cares about the discipleship of this important generation.
