#NeverAgain: A New Generation Draws the Line
by David Hogg Lauren HoggFrom two survivors of the Parkland, Florida, shooting comes a declaration for our times, and an in-depth look at the making of the #NeverAgain movement. <P><P> On February 14, 2018, seventeen-year-old David Hogg and his fourteen-year-old sister, Lauren, went to school at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, like any normal Wednesday. That day, of course, the world changed. <P><P>By the next morning, with seventeen classmates and faculty dead, they had joined the leadership of a movement to save their own lives, and the lives of all other young people in America. <P><P>It's a leadership position they did not seek, and did not want--but events gave them no choice. <P><P>The morning after the massacre, David Hogg told CNN: "We're children. You guys are the adults. You need to take some action and play a role. Work together. Get over your politics and get something done." <P><P>This book is a manifesto for the movement begun that day, one that has already changed America--with voices of a new generation that are speaking truth to power, and are determined to succeed where their elders have failed. <P>With moral force and clarity, a new generation has made it clear that problems previously deemed unsolvable due to powerful lobbies and political cowardice will be theirs to solve. <P><P>Born just after Columbine and raised amid seemingly endless war and routine active shooter drills, this generation now says, Enough. This book is their statement of purpose, and the story of their lives. It is the essential guide to the #NeverAgain movement.
#NiUnaMás: El feminicidio en México: tema urgente en la Agenda Nacional
by Frida GuerreraUn llamado urgente a la sociedad y al gobierno para detener la impunidad ante los feminicidios en México. El feminicidio en México se ha convertido en práctica común, las cifras superan cualquier expectativa. Ante la indiferencia del gobierno y el pésimo manejo de las autoridades, es cruelmente normal que mueran mujeres violadas, secuestradas, lapidadas, estranguladas, a manos de asaltantes, violadores, familiares, incluso de sus esposos o parejas sentimentales. El problema no sólo ocurre en las clases más necesitadas del país: el mal trasciende y aparece en todos los estratos de la sociedad. ¿A quién acudir? ¿Qué hace al respecto la autoridad? ¿Qué opinan organismos de derechos humanos o feministas? Ante la desesperanza/desesperación, Frida Guerrera responde estos cuestionamientos y ofrece en este libro no sólo numerosos casos de feminicidios, también comparte la experiencia de padres de familia y seres queridos de las mujeres sacrificadas, testimonios de las sobrevivientes, hondas reflexiones sobre las mujeres desaparecidas y una guía indispensable para evitar más víctimas con datos precisos sobre los lugares que asesoran a mujeres violentadas, herramientas necesarias para evitar el maltrato y la violencia de género. El libro no es, por mucho, un recuento de nota roja, es un llamado para atender con leyes efectivas los actos criminales y, sobre todo, una respuesta humana y conmovedora a este creciente problema social. #NoSeasIndiferente

#OrganicJesus: Finding Your Way to an Unprocessed, GMO-free Christianity
by Scott DouglasIf Generation Next is supposed to question everything and trust no one, where does faith fit in?Consumers demand that their food be pesticide—free, their cosmetics and shampoo be paraben-free, and that everything possible—from clothes to toilet paper—be made without additives or chemicals. But there's nothing that has more additives to the original product than Christianity. How do we get back to the 100% organic version of Jesus?In his personal search for the organic Jesus, Scott Douglas goes on a funny, thought—provoking romp through the foundations of belief. Christianity, he says, has become a simulacrum—a bloated, overprocessed image that lacks the true substance of the real thing. His search for the original took him far and wide through historical Christ figures, urban legends, odd facts about the faith, freakishly flawed Christians, and the Internet. Using relatable, contemporary anecdotes, and unlikely wisdom concealed within humor, Douglas reveals a way back to the authentic essence of following Christ.By including "wiki" breaks, social media callouts, quizzes, charts, and more, #OrganicJesus is ideal for readers raised on social media who can't step out of their house without tweeting about it or eat lunch without posting on Instagram. Douglas is careful to be as non—biased as possible, writing not for any particular agenda—political or otherwise—but instead encouraging readers to seek their own path for spiritual renewal. The result is a candid look at modern Christianity that will challenge savvy young Christians to put as much effort into discovering sustainable religion as they do in their pursuit of an organic marketplace.

#PlenamenteSoltero. Conviértete en la persona correcta antes de conocer a la persona correcta.
by Damien K. H. Nash Eileen Moënne Figueroa¿Conoces a alguien soltero? ¿Eres tú soltero? Mejor dicho, ¿eres plenamente soltero? Ya sea que estés comprometido, en una relación de noviazgo o seas un soltero que busca relacionarse, es importante que respondas de forma sincera y en oración. Dios desea que seamos plenos, especialmente antes de embarcarnos en una relación seria. Una de las razones por las que las relaciones duran poco tiempo o son largas y dolorosas es porque nosotros, como sociedad, no buscamos iniciar una relación siendo plenos en nuestra soltería. Este libro nos muestra a Adán como un hombre pleno y soltero mientras se relaciona con Dios, antes de siquiera saber que necesitaba a Eva. Cuando comencemos a buscar la soltería de todo corazón, nuestras relaciones comenzarán a florecer como Dios lo quiso en un principio. Este libro te ayudará a reconocer las áreas que están impidiendo que seas pleno y soltero. Te ayudará a aceptar el plan de Dios para tu soltería y a aplicar principios bíblicos para alinear tu conducta con Su plan. Los matrimonios también pueden beneficiarse de este libro, porque podrán identificar los límites que pueden haber transgredido antes y después de dar el sí, lo que les permitirá llegar a la raíz de las contiendas en su relación. Amigos, volvamos a los fundamentos de los principios bíblicos que yacen en la primera relación de la humanidad mientras procuramos ser #PlenamenteSolteros. www.completelysingle.com

#Republic: Divided Democracy in the Age of Social Media
by Cass R. SunsteinAs the Internet grows more sophisticated, it is creating new threats to democracy. Social media companies such as Facebook can sort us ever more efficiently into groups of the like-minded, creating echo chambers that amplify our views. It's no accident that on some occasions, people of different political views cannot even understand each other. It's also no surprise that terrorist groups have been able to exploit social media to deadly effect.Welcome to the age of #Republic.In this revealing book, Cass Sunstein, the New York Times bestselling author of Nudge and The World According to Star Wars, shows how today's Internet is driving political fragmentation, polarization, and even extremism—and what can be done about it.Thoroughly rethinking the critical relationship between democracy and the Internet, Sunstein describes how the online world creates "cybercascades," exploits "confirmation bias," and assists "polarization entrepreneurs." And he explains why online fragmentation endangers the shared conversations, experiences, and understandings that are the lifeblood of democracy.In response, Sunstein proposes practical and legal changes to make the Internet friendlier to democratic deliberation. These changes would get us out of our information cocoons by increasing the frequency of unchosen, unplanned encounters and exposing us to people, places, things, and ideas that we would never have picked for our Twitter feed.#Republic need not be an ironic term. As Sunstein shows, it can be a rallying cry for the kind of democracy that citizens of diverse societies most need.

#Struggles Study Guide: Following Jesus in a Selfie-Centered World
by Craig GroeschelWe all love the benefits of technology and social media, but even with the incredible upsides, many of us suspect there are unintended negative consequences beyond our control. The more we compare ourselves with others, the less satisfied we are. The more we interact online, the more we crave face-to-face intimacy. The more filtered our lives become, the more challenging it is for us to be authentic. The more information we receive about the pain and crises in the world, the more difficult it is for us to care. In this timely five-session video-based study (DVD/digital video sold separately), New York Times bestselling author Craig Groeschel taps in to some of the most up-to-date studies on social media to help us understand how it affects our emotions, our relationships, our attitudes, and our beliefs. He offers real-life examples to reveal the depths to which each of us battles with social media, how it masks our real struggles, and how we can reclaim a Christ-centered life. He encourages us to regain control over our lives by rediscovering the principles real life with Jesus brings: contentment, intimacy, authenticity, compassion, and rest. #Struggles will show you the ways technology has enslaved you rather than served you and what changes your need to make in your life to restore balance. Above all, it will point you to Christ and help you understand the healing he wants to do in you. As you follow his leading and seek him first, you will find you are no longer defined by who follows you but by the One you follow. Sessions include: Recovering Contentment (10:00) Restoring Intimacy (10:00) Revealing Authenticity (10:00) Resurrecting Compassion (10:00) Replenishing Rest (10:00) Designed for use with #Struggles Video Guide (sold separately).
