The Twisted Thread of Power

Pasquale De Marco

Sinopsis

In an era where power dynamics shape every facet of our lives, this book embarks on an illuminating journey to decode the complexities of power and its profound impact on individuals and societies.

Delving into the illusion of control, we uncover the intricate web of power dynamics that govern our daily interactions and societal structures. From the corridors of political authority to the nuances of personal relationships, power seeps into every aspect of our existence. We explore the mechanisms through which power is exercised, the consequences it holds for those who wield it and those who are subjected to it, and the ways in which power can be both a tool of oppression and a catalyst for change.

We confront the burden of power, acknowledging the weight of responsibility and the loneliness that often accompany leadership. We examine the intricate relationship between power and justice, shedding light on how power imbalances perpetuate systemic oppression and the ongoing struggle for equality. We investigate the intersection of power and identity, exploring how power dynamics are shaped by factors such as gender, race, and social class.

Our inquiry extends to the realm of power and knowledge, uncovering the ways in which information and education can be used as tools of control and empowerment. We explore the rise of surveillance technologies and the increasing concentration of power in the hands of a few tech giants. We examine the power dynamics of environmental issues, highlighting the influence of corporations on policy decisions and the role of power in addressing climate change.

Ultimately, we ponder the future of power in an ever-changing world, considering the potential for reimagined power structures and the rise of collective power. We explore the ethical implications of power in the context of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and the growing interconnectedness of our globalized society.

This book is an essential guide for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of power and its pervasive influence on our world. Through this exploration, we aim to foster a deeper understanding of power dynamics and inspire a more just and equitable distribution of power in the world.

Faithful Futures - Sacred Tools...

Josh Packard

Research-based strategies for Christian leaders to engage Gen Z and Gen Alpha 
 
In a world where young people are increasingly disconnected from traditional religious institutions and influenced by social media, church leaders face an urgent challenge: how to authentically engage Gen Z and Gen Alpha in meaningful faith conversations. Faithful Futures offers a research-based lifeline with practical tools and strategies designed specifically for connecting with younger generations in today's rapidly changing cultural landscape. 
 
This actionable resource provides church leaders with 
 
● research-based insights - fresh data on Gen Z and Gen Alpha faith patterns, digital behaviors, and cultural values; 
● practical ministry strategies - proven methods for building trust and fostering belonging; 
● digital-age tools - effective approaches for engaging youth who grew up online and think in micronarratives; 
● relationship-building frameworks - how to establish relational authority and create authentic connections with younger generations; and 
● ready-to-use resources - exercises, charts, tables, and discussion questions. 
 
Traditional youth ministry approaches are often outdated and ineffective for digital natives who grew up online. Sociologist Josh Packard advocates a revolutionary approach that emphasizes relational authority, cultivates genuine belonging, and understands faith as an ongoing conversation rather than a one-time decision. 
 
Drawing on fresh data, innovative practices, and more than twenty years of sociological experience, this comprehensive guide equips religious leaders to understand and engage younger generations authentically. It translates complex concepts into practical strategies, addressing the unique cultural and digital landscapes of today's youth and offering new ways to resonate with their realities. 
 
Whether you're a senior pastor, youth minister, church staff member, or volunteer leader, this book provides the research-backed tools you need to build meaningful relationships with Gen Z and Gen Alpha.

The Secret Life of John le Carre

Adam Sisman

The extraordinary secret life of a great novelist, which his biographer could not publish while le Carré was alive.  
 
Secrecy came naturally to John le Carré, and there were some secrets that he fought fiercely to keep. Adam Sisman's definitive biography, published in 2015, provided a revealing portrait of this fascinating man; yet some aspects of his subject remained hidden. 
Nowhere was this more so than in his private life. Apparently content in his marriage, the novelist conducted a string of love affairs over five decades. To these relationships he brought much of the tradecraft that he had learned as a spy - cover stories, cut-outs and dead letter boxes. These clandestine operations brought an element of danger to his life, but they also meant deceiving those closest to him. Small wonder that betrayal became a running theme in his work. 
In trying to manage his biography, the novelist engaged in a succession of skirmishes with his biographer. While he could control what Sisman wrote about him in his lifetime, he accepted that the truth would eventually become known. Following his death in 2020, what had been withheld can now be revealed. 
The Secret Life of John le Carré reveals a hitherto-hidden perspective on the life and work of the spy-turned-author and a fascinating meditation on the complex relationship between biographer and subject. “Now that he is dead,” Sisman writes, “we can know him better.”
