Hope Nation: YA Authors Share Personal Moments of Inspiration

Hope is a decision, but it is a hard one to recognize in the face of oppression, belittlement, alienation, and defeat. To help embolden hope, here is a powerhouse collection of essays and personal stories that speak directly to teens and all YA readers. Featuring Angie Thomas, Marie Lu, James Dashner, Nicola Yoon, David Levithan, Libba Bray, Jason Reynolds, Renée Ahdieh, and many more!

“The hope of a secure and livable world lies with disciplined nonconformists who are dedicated to justice, peace and brotherhood.”–Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.

We all experience moments when we struggle to understand the state of the world, when we feel powerless and–in some cases–even hopeless. The teens of today are the caretakers of tomorrow, and yet it’s difficult for many to find joy or comfort in such a turbulent society. But in trying times, words are power.

Some of today’s most influential young adult authors come together in this highly personal collection of essays and original stories that offer moments of light in the darkness, and show that hope is a decision we all can make.

Like a modern day Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul or Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff for Teens, Hope Nation acknowledges the pain and offers words of encouragement.

Authors include: Atia Abawi, Renee Ahdieh, Libba Bray, Howard Bryant, Ally Carter, Ally Condie, James Dashner, Christina Diaz Gonzales, Gayle Forman, Romina Garber, I. W. Gregario, Kate Hart, Bendan Kiely, David Levithan, Alex London, Marie Lu, Julie Murphy, Jason Reynolds, Aisha Saeed, Nic Stone, Angie Thomas, Jenny Torres Sanchez, Jeff Zentner, and Nicola Yoon.

Essential Healing For Your Spirit And Soul: 20 Spiritual Practitioners Share Wisdom and Inspiration to Create Life-Changing Transformation and Healing

Ten years ago I walked away from a job I loved. My passion for my work was crushed after I realized that the management did not share the same morals and business ethics that I believed in. I was completely devastated – it felt like a divorce. I couldn’t understand how this could happen to me because I truly believed I would work for this company forever. Now what? Years later I am so grateful for that experience because it sent me down a path to discovering and creating a spiritual practice. In order to heal myself, I devoured every book I could find on intuitive guidance, life coaching, soul purpose and spiritual healing. It totally changed my life. I started my own business publishing a magazine, left unhealthy relationships, and finally felt like I had found my purpose again. Then, the most profound insight came from a meeting with the director of an energy medicine school. She said to me, in a whisper, “You see, at this school we believe that we are all spirits having a human experience.” There was a part of me in which that statement resonated so clearly and profoundly, I knew it to be true to the very core of my being. This further inspired my journey into spirituality, mysticism, metaphysics and the understanding that we are so much more powerful than we realize. We are spirit having a human experience and we do, indeed, have the power to change our reality through thought. Because of this incredible journey, I was guided to create this book. A collaboration of 20 spiritual healers from all areas of spirituality and healing practices provide wisdom and insight for those of you seeking what’s next; those of you struggling to find purpose, balance or spirituality in your life; and those of you who may be called to the healing profession.

Unholy Alliance: The Agenda Iran, Russia, and Jihadists Share for Conquering the World

The New York Times bestselling author of Rise of ISIS exposes the dangers of radical Islam and the effects it has on the American way of life in this informative and eye-opening new audiobook.

The fundamental principle of our system of government is individual liberty. Our forefathers chose to bequeath a system that limited the reach of government officials so that Americans could control their own lives.

When the United States was attacked on September 11, 2001, the true face of radical Islam was exposed for the world to see. Our nation came face-to-face with a rabid ideology that was—and is—committed to destroying our freedoms and imposing Islamic Shariah onto the Western world.

The principles of Shariah, which demands total submission to Allah, completely clash with US law and legal tradition. But that doesn’t stop adherents of fundamental Islam from executing those who they believe have offended Islam and Muhammad. As such, Shariah has become a threatening danger to our country, our values, and our way of life.

In Unholy Alliance, Jay Sekulow and the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) tackle radical Islam head on. They expose the attempts by fundamentalist Muslims—both in the US and abroad—to destroy our legal system in favor of a system that would destroy our essential liberties. They bring attention to terrorism in today’s world and reflect on the recent Paris and San Bernardino attacks, as well as Russia, Syria, Iran, and continuous threats to our nation. Each of us should be aware of what is going on in the world and learn what we can do as individuals to protect and defend the Constitution against all enemies, be they foreign or domestic.
