Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. "A helpful and page-turning guide to protecting the planet amid today's climate change crisis." --Library Journal What does it mean to be a parent in the age of climate change? We are living in an era of climate collapse. We feel it in small ways: when the snow falls less or the cherry blossoms bloom too early. And in large ways: when our streets flood and entire towns burn to the ground. Climate anxiety touches nearly everything we do, but perhaps nothing so intimately as our parenting. It leaves an impossible task for those of us raising children. What do we tell our kids when the air quality is too bad to go ride bikes? What skills will they need if systems collapse? And what do we do with the fear, grief, and anger we feel as parents? Parent, activist, and writer Lydia Wylie-Kellermann wrestles with these questions and dares to argue that while the future remains unknown, there is still awe and wonder, love and struggle, gratitude and overwhelming joy to be found. As we raise our children toward this uncertain future, Wylie-Kellermann helps us see that those same children shift our posture, slow us down, and invite us to fall in love with the ground on which we stand. At this turning point in humanity, we can choose to shift our lives away from death-dealing profit systems toward life-giving, generous systems. Here is the moment when we must choose to fight like hell for climate justice. And we can do it by nurturing a deeper relationship with this sweet earth in all its beauty, wonder, and wisdom, walking alongside our children.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Remember the days when the Church was looked upon with favor and considered a bastion of hope, truth, love and forgiveness? Have you ever reminisced over the days growing up when prayer and Bible reading were not only allowed in schools but even the Ten Commandments were encouraged to follow with plaques on the wall? Do you recall not long ago that when a tragedy struck in a local community a Christian Pastor was called in to pray for the victims and then offer them godly Biblical counsel? What has happened to all this? Where did it all go and in such quick procession? Why has our godly Biblical upbringing been erased from our hearts, homes, minds, and nation? It's simply due to the fact that the Church has been invaded by a massive amount of unbelievers. Therefore, this book, Enemies Within: How the Church was Invaded by Unbelievers Vol.2 seeks to equip you with the groundbreaking historical data showing how non-Christians have not only infiltrated the Church today, but they are controlling it turning it into a godless enterprise. Here you will discover such mind-numbing truths as: God's Judgment with a Relativistic Mind, God's Judgment with a Woeful Destruction, The Twisting of Christian Pietism, God's Judgement on Going Woke, The Filtering of Biblical Christianity, The Twisting of Biblical Jesus, The Promotion of a One World Religion, and The Eradication of Biblical Christianity. The Church today is by and large not only not Biblical it has become the very godless entity God warned us about in the Bible 2,000 years ago. It's called the Great Apostasy and it's leading the world towards a satanic One World Religion that God commands all His people to come out of and be ye separate. Don't delay Get equipped with the truth Get your copy of Enemies Within: How the Church was Invaded by Unbelievers Vol.2 and share with as many as you can before it's too late.

Hardback. Zustand: Good. For the first time, the Cambridge Analytica whistleblower tells the inside story of the data mining and psychological manipulation behind the election of Donald Trump and the Brexit referendum, connecting Facebook, WikiLeaks, Russian intelligence, and international hackers. "Mindf*ck demonstrates how digital influence operations, when they converged with the nasty business of politics, managed to hollow out democracies."--The Washington Post Mindf*ck goes deep inside Cambridge Analytica's "American operations," which were driven by Steve Bannon's vision to remake America and fueled by mysterious billionaire Robert Mercer's money, as it weaponized and wielded the massive store of data it had harvested on individuals--in excess of 87 million--to disunite the United States and set Americans against each other. Bannon had long sensed that deep within America's soul lurked an explosive tension. Cambridge Analytica had the data to prove it, and in 2016 Bannon had a presidential campaign to use as his proving ground. Christopher Wylie might have seemed an unlikely figure to be at the center of such an operation. Canadian and liberal in his politics, he was only twenty-four when he got a job with a London firm that worked with the U.K. Ministry of Defense and was charged putatively with helping to build a team of data scientists to create new tools to identify and combat radical extremism online. In short order, those same military tools were turned to political purposes, and Cambridge Analytica was born. Wylie's decision to become a whistleblower prompted the largest data-crime investigation in history. His story is both exposé and dire warning about a sudden problem born of very new and powerful capabilities. It has not only laid bare the profound vulnerabilities--and profound carelessness--in the enormous companies that drive the attention economy, it has also exposed the profound vulnerabilities of democracy itself. What happened in 2016 was just a trial run. Ruthless actors are coming for your data, and they want to control what you think. …
