Sinopsis

Faith Stories explores the profound role of storytelling in shaping religious understanding and moral frameworks across diverse cultures. It argues that religious narratives are essential for conveying complex theological concepts, ethical guidelines, and historical identities, not merely illustrative tales. For example, stories within religious traditions serve as vehicles for transmitting values and preserving history. 

 
The book highlights how archetypes, symbols, and recurring motifs contribute to the effectiveness of these narratives, influencing cultural identity and spiritual connection. The book examines comparative analyses, exploring parallels and divergences in storytelling across different faiths. It traces the origins of storytelling within early religious practices, shaped by social and political forces, from oral traditions to textual forms. 

 
Each chapter focuses on a particular aspect of narrative’s role, such as establishing cultural identity and how narratives adapt over time to address new social challenges. The book culminates by discussing the implications of religious narratives for contemporary issues, like interfaith relations, making it valuable for those interested in religious history and traditions.

Trafficking Data - How China is...

Aynne Kokas

From TikTok and Fortnite to Grindr and Facebook, Aynne Kokas delivers an urgent look into the technology firms that gather our data, and how the Chinese government is capitalizing on this data flow for political gain. 
 
 
 
In Trafficking Data, Aynne Kokas looks at how technology firms in the two largest economies in the world, the United States and China, have exploited government policy (and the lack thereof) to gather information on citizens, putting US national security at risk. Kokas argues that US government leadership failures, Silicon Valley's disruption fetish, and Wall Street's addiction to growth have fueled China's technological goldrush. In turn, American complacency yields an unprecedented opportunity for Chinese firms to gather data in the United States and quietly send it back to China, and by extension, to the Chinese government. Drawing on years of fieldwork in the US and China and a large trove of corporate and policy documents, Trafficking Data explains how China is fast becoming the global leader in internet governance and policy, and thus of the data that defines our public and private lives.

Ben Brown

The world is changing, it's getting increasingly more difficult to be a young person and to raise young people. Without a plan to navigate the change, you'll end up in ice-cold water you thought was warm. We get so attached to the identity of being a student, or an athlete, or the fact that we'll never be young again that we end up losing sight of what we can sustain long-term.  
If you're in school now in your 20s, it's likely you're performing at less than 50% of your maximum potential. This book will help you pump those numbers up.

It outlines the skewed notions of what "the experience" is, and is meant to wake people up before they waste their "Superhuman years." This book offers insights on how to seize opportunities for personal growth and outlines the author's journey to success which includes breakthrough realizations that came from navigating the world with the social proof of a University student. 
It's a student's guide to success, and a parent's guide to raising strong, smart, independent, and purpose-driven people.
