  To get it right in the mission to end homelessness, we don’t have to choose between faith and factsFor well over a century, Christian ministries have actively offered relief for the poor and unhoused in North America. The dominant model in faith-based homelessness response has long been gospel rescue missions, nonprofit organizations that shelter and feed people experiencing homelessness. While the presence of these ministries in this work is undeniable, they frequently position themselves against best practices to meet their goal of evangelism. This approach often perpetuates homelessness instead of ending it.In this inspiring and clarifying book, homeless services advocate Kevin Nye reports on dozens of faith-based stories and examples that will equip readers to help end homelessness in their communities. Alongside critical evaluation of what Christian groups have tended to get wrong in addressing homelessness, Nye offers stories of faith and hope about what’s going right. Churches and other organizations have been faithfully answering the call to provide services, support, shelter, housing, and so much more in ways that align with broader efforts to successfully end homelessness. These exemplars embody the spirit of Christian social response alongside a commitment to the most effective, evidence-based practices for ending homelessness. Hope for the Mission offers groups of any size paths to consider, values to emulate, and methods to embody as we follow Jesus toward solidarity with the unhoused. As we imagine a world where everyone has a place to call home, we can find hope and insight for the real mission that lies before us: loving our unhoused neighbors in ways that bring them into fullness and flourishing.

  In January 2020, leading epidemiologist Professor Mark Woolhouse learned of a new virus taking hold in China. He immediately foresaw a hard road ahead for the entire world, and emailed the Chief Medical Officer of Scotland warning that the UK should urgently begin preparations. A few days later he received a polite reply stating only that everything was under control. 
   
  In this astonishing account, Mark Woolhouse shares his story as an insider, having served on advisory groups to both the Scottish and UK governments. He reveals the disregarded advice, frustration of dealing with politicians, and the missteps that led to the deaths of vulnerable people, damage to livelihoods and the disruption of education. He explains the follies of lockdown and sets out the alternatives. Finally, he warns that when the next pandemic comes, we must not dither and we must not panic; never again should we make a global crisis even worse. 
   
  The Year the World Went Mad puts our recent, devastating, history in a completely new light.

  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. 
  The Four Year Fantasy explores how College and University life can shape young adults in irreversible ways (GOOD and BAD). 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. 
  For many readers, this will be the last three-hour lecture you’ll ever sit through...
