Thriving and Spirituality Among Youth empirically explores the connections between spirituality and positive youth development through the research of a set of scholars from the wide array of scientific fields including biology, sociology, and theology. This unique handbook shows how to foster positive development during adolescence, including youth contributions to families and communities in civil society. The material draws on research conducted with various populations including immigrant Hispanic, Chinese, Israeli, and Muslim-American youth. Social workers and mental health professionals will find a new, developmentally rigorous data base for a science of "adolescent spirituality."

"Thriving and Spirituality Among Youth is an important book.The research described in the current book combines qualitative andquantitative multimethod approached applies toward understanding ofpositive youth development that features spirituality in relationto a number of diverse types of variables. This is a timely yetsparsely explored subject in studies of youth development. Apartfrom the importance of the topic of positive human development inyouths in contrast to the huge number of studies on negativedevelopment leading to violence and risk behavior, this bookdocuments the first stages of scholarly exploration based on theroles of spirituality and religion in youths' lives that arepotentially promising for the prevention of risk behavior."(PsycCRITIQUES, November 2012)
