Life after doom : wisdom and courage for a world falling apart
by Brian D. McLaren
""A book of rare wisdom, genuinely profound in depth and scope." -Diana Butler Bass, author of Christianity After Religion "As rich and thoughtful as all of Brian McLaren's work, but with a particular urgency!" -Bill McKibben A deeply insightful exploration of how to live with wisdom, resilience and love in our turbulent times For the last quarter-century, author and activist Brian D. McLaren has been writing at the intersection of religious faith and contemporary culture. In Life After Doom, he engages with the catastrophic failure of both our religious and political leaders to address the dominant realities of our time: ecological overshoot, economic injustice, and the increasing likelihood of civilizational collapse. McLaren defines doom as the "un-peaceful, uneasy, unwanted feeling" that "we humans have made a mess of our civilization and our planet, and not enough of us seem to care enough to change deeply enough or quickly enough to save ourselves." Blending insights from philosophers, poets, scientists, and theologians, Life After Doom explores the complexity of hope, the necessity of grief, and the need for new ways of thinking, becoming, and belonging in turbulent times. If you want to help yourself, your family, and the communities to which youbelong to find courage and resilience for the deeply challenging times that are upon us - this is the book you need right now"

Speak the blessing : send your words in the direction you want your life to go
by Joel Osteen
"Your words have power. Get your words going in the right direction and see how your life moves in the right direction. Your words are like seeds.

If not, check out what you're saying. Whether you realize it or not, the words you speak today are setting the direction for the rest of your life. In Speak the Blessing, New York Times bestselling author Joel Osteen offers you unique insights into this profound truth: Your words have creative power. When you discover the power of speaking what God says about you, you give those words the right to come to pass. There is a miracle in your mouth. There is healing in your mouth, freedom in your mouth, and new levels in your mouth. But nothing happens until you speak the blessing. Your words become your reality. Start blessing your future today. Use the words you speak to unlock the power within and create the life you were designed to live. The life-changing possibilities are limitless"
