This Means War

October 1962. Juliet Klostermeyer's world is turning upside down. All she hears from her parents and teachers and on the news is the Russian threat and the Cuban Missile Crisis. And things aren't much better at home. Her best friend, Lowell, doesn't seem interested in being her friend anymore--he'd rather hang out with the new boys instead. When Patsy moves in, things are looking up. Patsy is fearless, and she challenges the neighborhood boys to see who's better, stronger faster: a war between the boys and the girls. All the talk of war makes Juliet uneasy. As the challenges become more and more dangerous, Juliet has to decide what she stands for--and what's worth fighting for. This is a powerful middle-grade coming of age novel from teen powerhouse Ellen Wittlinger.

This Means War is the urgent call to action by controversial social media firebrand Pastor Greg Locke. Written to the American Church and Christian conservatives around the globe, the subtitle "We Will Not Surrender Through Silence" is just one of several revolutionary exhortations Locke presents to a world ripe for revival, and ready for WAR. The book is presented in four parts: Prophesy, Persecution, Preparation, & Proclamation. Endorsed by Charlie Kirk, Dinesh Desouza, Roger Stone, and Keith and Kevin Hodge (The Hodgetwins), this is not the typical theological text, but a book that brings the high call of Christ to light where Faith, Family, and Politics intersect no matter where you currently stand.

You've got battles to fight—on your knees. The teen years can be tough; don't try to make it through without one of your most powerful weapons—prayer. A companion book to the movie War Room, this new kind of journal will get you ready for a new kind of prayer life, one that's strong, growing, and reflects just how powerful prayer is. Each short chapter tackles one of the biggest questions teens have about prayer, questions such as: Why pray, anyway? What should I pray for? Are selfish prayers okay? Who should I pray for? Am I really supposed to pray for my enemies too? Will God listen? And will He answer? Just-right journaling prompts will then get you thinking—and praying—and reinforce the real power of fighting battles on your knees.

As a veteran war correspondent, Chris Hedges has survived ambushes in Central America, imprisonment in Sudan, and a beating by Saudi military police. He has seen children murdered for sport in Gaza and petty thugs elevated into war heroes in the Balkans. Hedges, who is also a former divinity student, has seen war at its worst and knows too well that to those who pass through it, war can be exhilarating and even addictive: “It gives us purpose, meaning, a reason for living.” Drawing on his own experience and on the literature of combat from Homer to Michael Herr, Hedges shows how war seduces not just those on the front lines but entire societies—corrupting politics, destroying culture, and perverting basic human desires. Mixing hard-nosed realism with profound moral and philosophical insight, War Is a Force that Gives Us Meaning is a work of terrible power and redemptive clarity whose truths have never been more necessary.

Are you considering foster care or adoption? If so, are you fully prepared to succeed? We weren't! In This Means War experienced foster, adoptive and even grandparents share insight, advice and stories of success-but also of failure. Many began this journey unprepared. We were quickly overwhelmed and wondered why our parenting methods failed. Why didn't our love heal these kids? Why were our previously healthy families now falling apart? We lacked vital information about invisible disabilities. We didn't understand how profoundly neglect damages a child. We didn't know we'd signed up to be missionaries to miniature heathens, nor that a fierce spiritual enemy opposed us. Perhaps we even assumed the natural state of man (apart from a negative environment or defective genes) was an ideal person. In the Garden of Eden, maybe. Join the author and friends for a biblical discussion of foster care and adoption-this side of the Garden.
