Halfway to Venus is the story of Sarah Andersonâ€™s life with only one arm. it is a journey of exploration and discovery,through literature and art and real life, concerned with finding out about arms and their significance, about other people who have lost their arms and about phantom and prosthetic limbs. Her experiences range from the sublime to the ridiculous â€“ from visitingLourdes to attending a â€˜one-armed dove huntâ€™ in Texas.The big struggles about having only one arm have been with other peopleâ€™s attitudes and thisis of course relevant to anyone who is differentâ€™. It was this that made her decide to write the book and to follow Robert Lowellâ€™s words: â€˜Why not say what happened?â€™

Written by a premier group of thinkers from around the world, Alternatives to Economic Globalization is the defining document of the antiglobalization movement. It presents both a sober critique of globalization as well as practical, thoughtful alternatives.
The authors assert ten core requirements for democratic societies, including equality, basic human rights, local decision making, and ecological sustainability, and demonstrate how globalization undermines each. Offering specific strategies for reining in corporate domination, they address alternative systems for energy, agriculture, transportation, and manufacturing; ideas for weakening or dismantling the WTO, World Bank, and IMF; and rebuilding economies that are responsive to human needs.

You have heard that this generation of students is disengaged. They have checked out. They can't peel their eyes away from their phones. Maybe you believe they're a hopeless case. In a disconnected and distracting world, how can teens connect with God and with others? As social media savvy as they are, as plugged in and fast-paced as they are, deep down, today's teenagers still experience a steady stream of questions that no amount of cell phone use and Netflix watching will make disappear. They, like all generations before them, have questions about faith, about their identity, and about their purpose. WIRED walks students through four key ideas: 
<ul>
<li> Connecting with God: How to interact with a God we can't see or touch.</li> <li> Loving their life: How to better understand who God made them to be.</li> <li> Embracing community: How to treat the people around them and to surround themselves with the right people.</li> <li> Serving others: How to use the gifts they have to make an impact on the world around them.</li> </ul>
 Whether your students have been in church for 10 years or 10 weeks, WIRED supports solid, foundational beliefs about God, themselves, and others, and then equips them to put these beliefs into action. 
WIRED is a four-week, interactive journal and is part of the XP3 Devotional Series, which includes Know God: A 28-Day Devotional Experience for Students and Live Free: A 5-Week Devotional Journal for Students (and Anyone Else Who Needs a Little More Grace in Their Lives).
