Rates of depression, anxiety, self-harm, and suicide rose sharply, more than doubling on most measures. Why? In The Anxious Generation, social psychologist Jonathan Haidt lays out the facts about the epidemic of teen mental illness that hit many countries at the same time. He then investigates the nature of childhood, including why children need play and independent exploration to mature into competent, thriving adults. Haidt shows how the “play-based childhood” began to decline in the 1980s, and how it was finally wiped out by the arrival of the “phone-based childhood” in the early 2010s. He presents more than a dozen mechanisms by which this “great rewiring of childhood” has interfered with children’s social and neurological development, covering everything from sleep deprivation to attention fragmentation, addiction, loneliness, social contagion, social comparison, and perfectionism. He explains why social media damages girls more than boys and why boys have been withdrawing from the real world into the virtual world, with disastrous consequences for themselves, their families, and their societies. Most important, Haidt issues a clear call to action. He diagnoses the “collective action problems” that trap us, and then proposes four simple rules that might set us free. He describes steps that parents, teachers, schools, tech companies, and governments can take to end the epidemic of mental illness and restore a more humane childhood. Haidt has spent his career speaking truth backed by data in the most difficult landscapes-communities polarized by politics and religion, campuses battling culture wars, and now the public health emergency faced by Gen Z. We cannot afford to ignore his findings about protecting our children-and ourselves-from the psychological damage of a phone-based life”—”, “call-number”: “HQ792.U5 H23 2024”, “event-place”: “New York”, “ISBN”: “978-0-593-65503-0”, “number-of-pages”: “385”, “publisher”: “Penguin Press”, “publisher-place”: “New York”, “source”: “Library of Congress ISBN”, “title”: “The anxious generation: how the great rewiring of childhood is causing an epidemic of mental illness”, “title-short”: “The anxious generation”, “author”: [ { “family”: “Haidt”, “given”: “Jonathan” } ], “issued”: { “date-parts”: [ [ “2024” ] ] } }, { “id”: “http://zotero.org/users/14292392/items/KS3V97GK”, “type”: “book”, “abstract”: ""Is your gospel 3D?

Yet many who sit next to us in the pew at church fit that description, says author Wesley Hill. As a celibate gay Christian, Hill gives us a glimpse of what it looks like to wrestle firsthand with God’s “No” to same-sex relationships. What does it mean for gay Christians to live faithful to God while struggling with the challenge of their homosexuality? What is God’s will for believers who experience same-sex desires? Those who choose celibacy are often left to deal with loneliness and the hunger for relationships. How can gay Christians experience God’s favor and blessing in the midst of a struggle that for many brings a crippling sense of shame and guilt? Weaving together reflections from his own life and the lives of other Christians, such as Henri Nouwen and Gerard Manley Hopkins, Hill offers a fresh perspective on these questions. He advocates neither unqualified “healing” for those who struggle, nor their accommodation to temptation, but rather faithfulness in the midst of brokenness. “I hope this book may encourage other homosexual Christians to take the risky step of opening up their lives to others in the body of Christ,” Hill writes. “In so doing, they may find, as I have, by grace, that being known is spiritually healthier than remaining behind closed doors, that the light is better than the darkness."", “edition”: “8/28/10 edition”, “event-place”: “Grand Rapids, Michigan”, “ISBN”: “978-0-310-33003-5”, “language”: “English”, “number-of-pages”: “160”, “publisher”: “Zondervan”, “publisher-place”: “Grand Rapids, Michigan”, “source”: “Amazon”, “title”: “Washed and Waiting: Reflections on Christian Faithfulness and Homosexuality”, “title-short”: “Washed and Waiting”, “URL”: “https://www.amazon.com/Washed-Waiting-Reflections-Faithfulness-Homosexuality/dp/0310330033”, “author”: [ { “family”: “Hill”, “given”: “Wesley” }, { “family”: “Greene-McCreight”, “given”: “Kathryn” } ], “issued”: { “date-parts”: [ [ “2010”, 9, 27 ] ] } }, { “id”: “http://zotero.org/users/14292392/items/5J4XRP6B”, “type”: “article-journal”, “container-title”: “Concordia Journal”, “issue”: “2”, “language”: “en”, “source”: “Zotero”, “title”: “Christ is Risen, Indeed Good News for Him, and For Us”, “volume”: “40”, “author”: [ { “family”: “Gibbs”, “given”: “Jeffrey” } ], “issued”: { “date-parts”: [ [ “2014” ] ] } }, { “id”: “http://zotero.org/users/14292392/items/BGZQ5WVR”, “type”: “article-journal”, “container-title”: “Concordia Journal”, “issue”: “2”, “language”: “en”, “source”: “Zotero”, “title”: ““Daddy, Will Animals Be In Heaven?” The Future New Earth”, “volume”: “40”, “author”: [ { “family”: “Raabe”, “given”: “Paul” } ], “issued”: { “date-parts”: [ [ “2014” ] ] } }, { “id”: “http://zotero.org/users/14292392/items/BXXE4NZY”, “type”: “article-journal”, “language”: “en”, “source”: “Zotero”, “title”: “Lukan Christology: Jesus as Beautiful Savior”, “author”: [ { “family”: “Scaer”, “given”: “Peter J” } ] }, { “id”: “http://zotero.org/users/14292392/items/9RQ3PWIB”, “type”: “book”, “abstract”: “Did Jesus of Nazareth really rise from the dead?Of the many world religions, only one claims that its founder returned from the grave.

But you might not love what you think.In this book, award-winning author James K. A. Smith shows that who and what we worship fundamentally shape our hearts. And while we desire to shape culture, we are not often aware of how culture shapes us. We might not realize the ways our hearts are being taught to love rival gods instead of the One for whom we were made. Smith helps readers recognize the formative power of culture and the transformative possibilities of Christian practices. He explains that worship is the “imagination station” that incubates our loves and longings so that our cultural endeavors are indexed toward God and his kingdom. This is why the church and worshiping in a local community of believers should be the hub and heart of Christian formation and discipleship. Following the publication of his influential work Desiring the Kingdom, Smith received numerous requests from pastors and leaders for a more accessible version of that book’s content. No mere abridgment, this new book draws on years of Smith’s popular presentations on the ideas in Desiring the Kingdom to offer a fresh, bottom-up rearticulation. The author creatively uses film, literature, and music illustrations to engage readers and includes new material on marriage, family, youth ministry, and faith and work.

This book deals with job stress, finances, marriage, housing, and other important issues in the lives of professional church workers, pastors, teachers, and DCE’s. Workers of the church are at increased risk of sadness, despair, stress, frustration, anger, and disappointment. There are inherent vocational risks involved when your job is to serve others and these risks are increased when one’s vocation is to connect human experience and the Gospel of Jesus Christ. These risks are increased even more as workers of the church walk closely with the life experience of the people that they serve. When a worker of the church walks closely with his or her people, sees the Gospel-to-human experience connection in the lives of people and acts on that connection, often meets more-than-the-average stressors, and is in a people-oriented service vocation, the odds rise dramatically in terms of the risks to body, spirit, and self.

Other hands-on student projects described here range from stream restoration and watershed exploration to confronting environmental justice issues at the neighborhood level.With contributions from distinguished writers and educators, such as Fritjof Capra, Wendell Berry, and Michael Ableman, Ecological Literacy reflects the best thinking about how the world actually works and how learning occurs.

In Design on the Edge, David Orr writes about the planning and design of Oberlin’s environmental studies building as part of a larger story about the art and science of ecological design and the ability of institutions of higher learning themselves to learn.The Lewis Center, which has attracted worldwide attention as a model of ecological design, operates according to environmental principles. It is powered entirely by solar energy, features landscaping with fruit trees and vegetable gardens, and houses a Living Machine, which processes all wastewater for reuse in the building or landscape. Orr puts the Lewis Center into historical design context and describes the obstacles and successes he encountered in obtaining funds and college approval, interweaving the particulars of the center with thoughts on the larger environmental and societal issues the building process illustrates.Equal parts analysis, personal reflection, and call to action, Design on the Edge illustrates the process of institutional change, institutional learning, and the political economy of design. It describes how the idea of the Lewis Center originated and was translated into reality with the help of such environmental visionaries as William McDonough and John Todd, and how the building has performed since its completion.College and university administrators will spend 17 billion dollars on new buildings over the next few years. Design on the Edge is essential reading for architects, planners, and environmentalists who need to sell the innovations of ecological design to wary institutions, and for educators and students whose profession is undermined by the very buildings they work in—and for anyone who has ever tried to change an organization for the better.”, “edition”: “Illustrated edition”, “event-place”: “Cambridge, Mass.

But these modern-day assumptions are wrong. Timothy Keller, with insights from Kathy, his wife of thirty-seven years, shows marriage to be a glorious relationship that is also misunderstood and mysterious.
