Kids are asking questions the Church has been too quiet to answer.
Identity. Mental wellness. Sexuality. These are not just cultural buzzwords—they are battlefronts in the lives of today’s children. The Alpha Generation is growing up in a world flooded with confusion, and their silent cry for clarity is growing louder.
They are also facing unprecedented levels of anxiety, confusion about identity, and early exposure to complex issues around sexuality, often long before they reach puberty.
What is their cry? It is a sound unlike any we’ve heard before. One that cannot be silenced or ignored. It is a cry that only God can truly answer.
In THE CRY, Dr. Tamara Denis-Lewis takes readers on a powerful journey through Scripture, her personal encounters with God, and real-life stories of transformation. Drawing from the life of Jesus, she reveals how the practices that shaped His youth can land your child from an age of information to an encounter with Christ.
Customer Book Reviews
"This book was such a useful tool that could be used by parents and grandparents that find it difficult to incorporate spiritual growth with their children. It was great seeing how Biblical practices and teachings can be incorporated into daily life practices to help children build a lasting faith that will be unshakeable in adulthood. "

"The book gave me a lot to ponder and made me want to be more aware of the unknown cues the children around me were giving. I saw scripture interpreted in an enlightened way even though I am not a believer.. So many parts of the book were intriguing but part three was the most impactful as it provided real life solutions to a struggling generation along with their parents, grandparents and pastors."

"This is an authentic book in every way, presented from the heart of one who has first hand experience & insight into the silent cries of our youth. Tamara's heart is transparent & courageous. Through a fresh & current work of the Holy Spirit, I believe she has captured answers that have been evident all along but not clearly recognized. Perhaps because we as parents & educators have also been taken captive by the same spirit that has robbed our young people. This book serves as an eye opener! It is a compelling gift that begs prayerful, decisive action on our part; as parents, grandparents, educators, pastors or anyone who has a heart for rescuing our youth from anything which masquerades & moves them away from true relationship with God through Jesus Christ. Thank you Tamara!"

“Tamara, you tackle a concern that not many are willing to address with practical solutions. I pray for your heart and voice through this book to have access into hearts of parents, grandparents, teachers, pastors, children's pastors, aunts, uncles, neighbors and more who care, and the remarkable hearts, souls, voices, of Gen Alpha. May they indeed be the "beginning" of transformation of their generation and those who follow. Thank you! “
