time, is known as the "Black One" (she's a bit goth); and what
"Hare Krishna" really means. "Throw another ingredient in the
American spirituality blender. Pop culture is veering into
Hinduism."--USA Today

After the spiritual highs of a Christian retreat, it can seem like
the rest of the year is spiritually downhill until the next
conference or retreat. But what if there was a way to help make
your faith life defy this downward spiral? What if you could leave
the retreat and watch your spiritual life increase over the
following year? Here, youth pastor Bob Wallington practically sets
out how you can make your faith come alive once you're back into
the regular routine of school, homework and church on Sundays. In
bitesize chunks, Bob explores ways of reading the Bible, taking
time to reflect on God, asking for prayer, developing a prayer life
and getting involved with church. Filled with positive feedback
from young people who have tried Bob's methods, he challenges the
idea that your faith life doesn't have to get worse once the
conference is over - it can get better!

Spirituality is increasingly acknowledged to be an essential part
of child development. David Hay argues for the inclusion of
spiritual awareness as a cross-curricular element in the school
syllabus to promote the development of morality and social
cohesion. While culturally constructed pressures and the decline in
institutional religion have led to the suppression of spiritual
expression, children are, the author maintains, capable of profound
and meaningful beliefs from an early age. A three-year research
study into young children's spirituality and its survival value
informs Hay's view that spirituality in education needs to overcome
traditional approaches and should adopt a theory of spirituality
that includes religion but is not confined to it. This stimulating
book will encourage educators, parents and others involved in
teaching children to consider new approaches to foster children's
natural spiritual development.
Sadie Robertson, bestselling author of Live Original
and star of Dancing with the Stars, has built her
brand on a simple but powerful message for teen
girls: be who God created you to be and have fun
doing it! Live Fearless: A Call to Power, Passion, and
Purpose takes this anthem to the next level by
empowering readers to reject fear and live a joy-
filled life with passion and purpose.
Despite being more connected than any prior generation via
technology and social media, today's young people often
feel more isolated and anxious than ever before. As they
come of age in an uncertain world full of scary headlines and
mixed messages, Sadie's story of overcoming fear and
anxiety offers hope. Through personal stories, practical
insights, and creative solutions, Sadie marks a path toward
freedom from fear, anxiety, and comparison.
Written for teens by a teenager who has trekked through
these relatable struggles, Live Fearless shows readers how
God's plans begin with freedom and only get better from
there. Sadie equips young people to walk a very personal
and powerful journey with God, to learn to answer life's
questions with faith instead of fear, to live without
limitations, and to relinquish the effort it takes to try to
control the world around them. This timeless and crucial
message benefits from Sadie's fresh, vibrant delivery, and
young people will be drawn to her authenticity and
relatability throughout the book.

In the last decade alone, the world has changed in seismic ways as
marriage equality has been ruled on by the supreme court, social
justice issues such as #metoo and BlackLivesMatter have arisen, and
issues of immigration and deportation have come to the forefront of
politics across the globe. Thus, there is a need for an updated
text that shares strategies for combining canonical and young adult
literature that reflects the changes society has - and continues to
- experience. The purpose of our collection is to offer secondary
(6-12) teachers engaging ideas and approaches for pairing young
adult and canonical novels to provide unique examinations of topics
that teaching either text in isolation could not afford. Our
collection does not center canonical texts and most chapters show
how both texts complement each other rather than the young adult
text being only an extension of the canonical. Within each volume,
the chapters are organized chronologically according to the
publication date of the canonical text. The pairings offered in
this collection allow for comparisons in some cases, for extensions
in others, and for critique in all.
