Collision course
The fifth-grade Week in the Woods is a beloved tradition of Hardy Elementary, where Mark Chelmsley (the Fourth) is pretty much killing time before his parents send him off to an exclusive prep school. But then Mark realizes the Week might be a chance to prove to Mr. Maxwell that he's not just another of the slacker rich kids the teacher can't stand.
But it may be too late for Mark to change Mr. Maxwell's opinion of him. On the first day of the Week, the tension between teacher and student explodes, and in a reckless moment, Mark puts not only himself, but also Mr. Maxwell, in grave danger. Can two such strong adversaries work together to save their lives?

Primary schoolchildren are frequently shielded from education on sexuality and sexually transmitted diseases in an effort to protect their innocence. In countries like South Africa, where AIDS is particularly widespread, it is especially important to address prevention with younger boys and girls as active social agents with the capacity to engage with AIDS as gendered and sexual beings. This volume addresses the question of children's understanding of AIDS, not simply in terms of their dependence but as active participants in the interpretation of their social worlds. The volume draws on an interview and ethnographic based study of young children in two socially diverse South African primary schools, as well as interviews conducted with teachers and mothers of young children. It shows how adults sustain the production of childhood sexual innocence, and the importance of scaling up programs in AIDS intervention, gender and sexuality. It makes significant contributions to the global debate around childhood sexualities, gender and AIDS education.

Young people today face unprecedented pressures and temptations. Statistics related to suicide have hit an all-time high. To say that many teenagers and young adults are in crisis is not an understatement. They are exposed to influences that try to make death seem intriguing and appealing. Sadie Robertson sees and understands that this is happening and has written Live to illustrate clearly God's alternative. Where the world offers death in the form of hopelessness, negativity, loneliness, rejection, and other experiences, Jesus offers abundant life.

Robertson has a keen understanding of the issues facing young people today and knows that many are desperate for hope that they can live with strength, confidence, conviction, and vibrant commitment to God. The world entices daily with choices that lead to misery. Readers need to know that it's possible to resist the draw of the world and follow God into a life of fulfillment and adventure.

The book includes material on overcoming jealousy, finding confidence, dealing with haters, waiting on God, living in victory instead of defeat, discovering the power of words, and knowing how to tell the difference between what leads to life and what leads to death-so young people can make the best choices.

With a social media audience of more than 6 million, Robertson has become the leading voice of hope, courage, and truth for her generation. In Live, she reminds readers that there's a big difference between being alive and knowing how to truly live. To be alive is something that happens to you. But to truly live is something you get to choose each day. As Robertson says, "When you truly learn to live the life God offers, your whole existence becomes a verb."

Including full-color photography and high design, Live shows teens and young adults through story and biblical truths how to enjoy a rich and rewarding life by choosing God's way over the world's influence. Moments of decision greet everyone. Some of those decisions are minor and others are life altering, but all serve as stepping stones to peace, joy, and fullness or to disappointment and emptiness. Robertson is passionate about inspiring a generation to live with bold confidence and faith every day.

Live releases in conjunction with Robertson's 16-city speaking tour. As a speaker, influencer, and media personality, Robertson has enjoyed sold-out events across the country on previous tours. A popular blogger at LiveOriginal.com, the founder of a line of creative clothing, and a tireless advocate for underprivileged youth, Robertson is known for living out her message with passion and joy. Her remarkable ability to relate to her peers encourages them to view her as a role model, and her call for them to live uncompromised godly lives has gained her the respect of parents, pastors, and ministry leaders much older than she is.
