Bad for You
SHOULD U.S. COMICS BE BANNED? "SATANIC" HARRY POTTER BOOKS BURNT PLAYGROUNDS POSE THREAT TO CHILDREN TEXT-MAD YOUTH LOSING WRITING ABILITIES CHILD SUSPENDED FOR BRANDISHING CHICKEN SOCIAL WEBSITES HARM CHILDREN'S BRAINS STUDENT ARRESTED FOR "PASSING GAS" AT SCHOOL These are all real headlines screaming about the terrible stuff that's out there . . . stuff that's supposed to be BAD FOR YOU. But, honestly--is it?! Bad for You asks this question and many more--and not just about the things that modern parents fear like violent video games, social media, and dirty hands. Stuff in this book goes back centuries--all the way to Plato (yeah, that one) and his worries over the new "technology" of his time: the written word! Kevin C. Pyle and Scott Cunningham cleverly expose the long-standing CAMPAIGN AGAINST FUN for what it really is: a bunch of anxious adults grasping at straws, ignoring scientific data, and blindly yearning for the good old days that never were. Bad for You presents the facts, figures, and a whole lot more--in eye-grabbing graphics--to debunk these myths and give kids the power to prove there's nothing wrong with having fun . . . or with being young.

Jesus > Religion
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERAbandon dead, dry, religious rule-keeping and embrace the promise of being truly known and deeply loved.Jefferson Bethke burst into the cultural conversation with a passionate, provocative poem titled "Why I Hate Religion, But Love Jesus." The 4-minute video became an overnight sensation, with 7 million YouTube views in its first 48 hours (and 23+ million in a year).Bethke's message clearly struck a chord with believers and nonbelievers alike, triggering an avalanche of responses running the gamut from encouraged to enraged.In his New York Times bestseller Jesus > Religion, Bethke unpacks similar contrasts that he drew in the poem--highlighting the difference between teeth gritting and grace, law and love, performance and peace, despair, and hope.With refreshing candor, he delves into the motivation behind his message, beginning with the unvarnished tale of his own plunge from the pinnacle of a works-based, fake-smile existence that sapped his strength and led him down a path of destructive behavior. Along the way, Bethke gives you the tools you need to: Humbly and prayerfully open your mindUnderstand Jesus for all that he isView the church from a brand-new perspective Bethke is quick to acknowledge that he's not a pastor or theologian, but simply an ordinary, twenty-something who cried out for a life greater than the one for which he had settled. On this journey, Bethke discovered the real Jesus, who beckoned him with love beyond the props of false religion.Praise for Jesus > Religion: "Jeff's book will make you stop and listen to a voice in your heart that may have been drowned out by the noise of religion. Listen to that voice, then follow it--right to the feet of Jesus." --Bob Goff, author of New York Times bestsellers Love Does and Everybody, Always"The book you hold in your hands is Donald Miller's Blue Like Jazz meets C. S. Lewis's Mere Christianity meets Augustine's Confessions. This book is going to awaken an entire generation to Jesus and His grace." --Derwin L. Gray, lead pastor of Transformation Church, author of Limitless Life: Breaking Free from the Labels That Hold You Back

A moving account of how a soccer team made up of diverse refugees inspired an entire community here in the United States. Based on the adult bestseller, Outcasts United: An American Town, a Refugee Team, and One Woman's Quest to Make a Difference, this young people's edition is a complex and inspirational story about the Fugees, a youth soccer team made up of diverse refugees from around the world, and their formidable female coach, Luma Mufleh. Luma Mufleh, a young Jordanian woman educated in the United States and working as a coach for private youth soccer teams in Atlanta, was out for a drive one day and ended up in Clarkston, Georgia, where she was amazed and delighted to see young boys, black and brown and white, some barefoot, playing soccer on every flat surface they could find. Luma decided to quit her job, move to Clarkston, and start a soccer team that would soon defy the odds. Despite challenges to locate a practice field, minimal funding for uniforms and equipment, and zero fans on the sidelines, the Fugees practiced hard and demonstrated a team spirit that drew admiration from referees and competitors alike. Outcasts United explores how the community changed with the influx of refugees and how the dedication of Lumah Mufleh and the entire Fugees soccer team inspired an entire community.

They are important because they show us how to live holy lives and remind us that anyone can become a saint by loving God and others. Saints were regular people just like us! They had challenges and made mistakes, but they always trusted God and tried their best to do His will. For example, St. Francis of Assisi cared for the poor and animals, showing kindness to everyone. St. Therese of Lisieux taught us to do small things with great love. Each saint has a unique story that inspires us to grow in faith. One of the most important things about saints is that they pray for us. Even though they are in heaven, they are part of God's family and want to help us. We can ask them to pray for us just like we would ask a friend or family member. The saints remind us that holiness Isn't just for priests or nuns--it's for everyone! By learning about their lives, we see how to be patient, brave, forgiving, and generous. Catholic saints are like our spiritual heroes and role models. They teach us how to love God and others, helping us on our journey to heaven. With their example and prayers, we can grow closer to Jesus every day!

Saints serve as tangible examples of faith, courage, and compassion, showing children how ordinary people achieved extraordinary lives by dedicating themselves to their beliefs and values. Their lives inspire children to adopt virtues such as kindness, humility, and perseverance. Through the stories of saints, children learn powerful lessons about overcoming challenges, selfless service, and standing firm in the face of adversity. For example, Saint Francis of Assisi teaches the importance of simplicity and care for creation, while Saint Teresa of Calcutta exemplifies compassion and dedication to helping those in need. These narratives motivate children to emulate these qualities in their own lives, encouraging them to contribute positively to their families, schools, and communities. Learning about saints also connects children to their faith tradition and provides a sense of belonging to a broader spiritual family.

Angels play a significant role in the lives of children, offering spiritual guidance, protection, and a sense of comfort. Believed to be divine beings assigned by God, these celestial protectors are often thought to watch over children, ensuring their safety and well-being, particularly during their formative years when they are most vulnerable. The concept of Guardian Angels provides a source of reassurance for both children and their parents. For children, the idea of a constant, unseen companion can alleviate fears, foster confidence, and promote a sense of security in unfamiliar or challenging situations. This belief can also encourage children to develop empathy and moral responsibility, as they learn to view their actions as under the loving watch of their angelic guide. For parents, the belief in Guardian Angels reinforces the notion that their children are never truly alone, even when they cannot be physically present to protect them. This spiritual bond fosters a deep sense of hope and trust in the divine, particularly in moments of uncertainty or danger. Ultimately, Guardian Angels are a timeless symbol of divine love and care, nurturing a child's spiritual growth and emotional resilience while reminding them of the presence of God's unwavering support throughout their lives.
