Book Description
How the political beliefs of Tea Party supporters are connected to far-right social movements Are Tea Party supporters merely a group of conservative citizens concerned about government spending? Or are they racists who refuse to accept Barack Obama as their president because he's not white? Change They Can’t Believe In offers an alternative argument—that the Tea Party is driven by the reemergence of a reactionary movement in American politics that is fueled by a fear that America has changed for the worse. Providing a range of original evidence and rich portraits of party sympathizers as well as activists, Christopher Parker and Matt Barreto show that the perception that America is in danger directly informs how Tea Party supporters think and act. In a new afterword, Parker and Barreto reflect on the Tea Party’s recent initiatives, including the 2013 government shutdown, and evaluate their prospects for the 2016 election.

Do you have the "The Courage to Change" ? Jesus said, "If any man is to come after me, let him, deny himself, take up his cross and follow me" (Matthew 16:24). God designed you to dwell in His presence to understand His heart and to experience His divine power, love, and peace. The closer you get to God, the more you mirror the "image" of who He created you to be, and that's to be like Him. The only way to get there is through His Son, Jesus Christ. He is the way, the truth, and the life that you seek. But you got to do something first. You have got to have "the courage to change."

Sr. Pastor Dr. Sax Guthery Jr., with insight and a divine Word from the Lord, has witnessed the power of God in His life and others to bring about a positive change for God.

Book Description
Are you stuck in a rut but don’t have the time, money or energy to get out? It's simpler than you think. By encouraging you to make small, personal decisions, this book will help you stop scrolling through other people’s stories so that you can start focusing on your own. We have choice in every moment of our lives. We can choose to say ‘yes’ or ‘no’ to an invitation, a job, a partner. We just have to practise cultivating that choice. Change Your Life in an Hour urges you to take back control of how you choose to spend your time – and subsequently your life. Laura Archer first realised the power of small choices when she started reclaiming her lunch breaks and using them to achieve personal goals. In this, her second book, she inspires you to target your mental, emotional, and physical health through simple but empowering actions that can fit around any lifestyle. The book focuses on three centres of activity: Head – Looking at how important good mental health is, and how we can achieve it through guiding our thoughts and the stimulus we input to our minds daily. Heart – As a society that prioritises rationality and empiricism, our hearts sometimes get left behind, as we listen to our heads first. This section focuses on activities to make your heart sing. Hands – We spend our days on computers and smart phones, but as humans we are makers and creators, and using our hands is part of our make-up. This section of the book encourages you to reconnect with the world around you. This book is not restrictive. It is as much about embracing good food, wine and love, as it is about focusing on yoga and meditation. Are you ready to change YOUR life?
Author: Isabel Sawhill Publisher: Yale University Press ISBN: 0300230362 Category : Business & Economics Languages : en Pages : 268
Book Description
A sobering account of a disenfranchised American working class and important policy solutions to the nation's economic inequalities One of the country's leading scholars on economics and social policy, Isabel Sawhill addresses the enormous divisions in American society--economic, cultural, and political--and what might be done to bridge them. Widening inequality and the loss of jobs to trade and technology has left a significant portion of the American workforce disenfranchised and skeptical of governments and corporations alike. And yet both have a role to play in improving the country for all. Sawhill argues for a policy agenda based on mainstream values, such as family, education, and work. Although many have lost faith in government programs designed to help them, there are still trusted institutions on both the local and the federal level that can deliver better job opportunities and higher wages to those who have been left behind. At the same time, the private sector needs to reexamine how it trains and rewards employees. This book provides a clear-headed and middle-way path to a better-functioning society in which personal responsibility is honored and inclusive capitalism and more broadly shared growth are once more the norm.
Author: Chris Hedges Publisher: Simon and Schuster ISBN: 1439158363 Category : Religion Languages : en Pages : 227
Book Description
From the New York Times bestselling author of American Fascists and the NBCC finalist for War Is a Force That Gives Us Meaning comes this timely and compelling work about new atheists: those who attack religion to advance the worst of global capitalism, intolerance and imperial projects. Chris Hedges, who graduated from seminary at Harvard Divinity School, has long been a courageous voice in a world where there are too few. He observes that there are two radical, polarized and dangerous sides to the debate on faith and religion in America: the fundamentalists who see religious faith as their prerogative, and the new atheists who brand all religious belief as irrational and dangerous. Both sides use faith to promote a radical agenda, while the religious majority, those with a commitment to tolerance and compassion as well as to their faith, are caught in the middle. The new atheists, led by Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens and Sam Harris, do not make moral arguments about religion. Rather, they have created a new form of fundamentalism that attempts to permeate society with ideas about our own moral superiority and the omnipotence of human reason. I Don't Believe in Atheists critiques the radical mindset that rages against religion and faith. Hedges identifies the pillars of the new atheist belief system, revealing that the stringent rules and rigid traditions in place are as strict as those of any religious practice. Hedges claims that those who have placed blind faith in the morally neutral disciplines of reason and science create idols in their own image -- a sin for either side of the spectrum. He makes an impassioned, intelligent case against religious and secular fundamentalism, which seeks to divide the world into those worthy of moral and intellectual consideration and those who should be condemned, silenced and eradicated. Hedges shatters the new atheists' assault against religion in America, and in doing so, makes way for new, moderate voices to join the debate. This is a book that must be read to understand the state of the battle about faith.

Book Description
“I highly recommend this book to turn relationship pains into opportunities for self-discovery and lasting joy” (Alina Frank, bestselling author). No matter how much we learn about dating, boundaries, and calling in the one, we wind up attracting the wrong men. When this happens, we are tempted to beat ourselves up. Don’t. What if the frustration is the very emotion you need in order to change your future relationship status? Every relationship leaves us with new standards, boundaries, and trust issues. While we hope to have a healthy relationship in the future, we are afraid of getting our hopes up. Our emotional wounds tempt us to lower our standards and settle for less because high standards lead to disappointment. In I Can’t Believe I Dated Him, EFT Tapping Expert (aka Emotional Freedom Techniques) Jackie Viramontez explores how doubt, uncertainty, and guilt are showing up for a different reason than what we might think. By accepting our emotions, laughing at imperfections, and being courageously authentic, we transform relationship issues into opportunities. Viramontez’s seven choices empower women to break up with the wrong men and to celebrate the right ones. We never again have to ask: Why do I keep dating cheaters? Am I dating the right guy? Am I dating a narcissist? How do I get unstuck? How do I rebuild trust? If you are tired of toxic relationship patterns and self-criticism, I Can’t Believe I Dated Him is a practical guide to manifest a relationship rooted in confidence, emotional intelligence, and authenticity.
