Fat and Failing - Why Our Current Approach to Obesity Isn’t Working

Shu Chen Hou

Beschreibung

The obesity epidemic is getting worse—because our approach is all wrong.
 
In Fat and Failing: Why Our Current Approach to Obesity Isn’t Working, prepare to challenge everything you think you know about obesity. With rates skyrocketing and standard interventions falling short, this eye-opening book digs deep into the true causes behind the crisis—and provides a compassionate roadmap for real, lasting change.
 
Through a compelling blend of science, personal stories, and social insight, this book explores the far-reaching impact of obesity—from childhood trauma and mental health challenges to its links with infertility, heart disease, and cancer. It sheds light on why restrictive diets and quick-fix plans continue to fail, and what we can do instead.
 
Whether you're a healthcare provider, policymaker, educator, or someone personally affected by obesity, this book empowers you to understand the root of the issue and implement strategies that work. From pregnancy to adolescence, and into adulthood, every stage of life is addressed with empathy, evidence, and practical steps.
 
It’s time to stop blaming and start transforming. It’s time to rewrite the story of obesity—one grounded in understanding, science, and sustainable solutions.

AI Shepherds and Electric Sheep...

Sean O'Callaghan, Paul A. Hoffman

Since ChatGPT burst into the public consciousness in 2022, AI has thoroughly infiltrated everyday life. Machines can now take on work once thought to be solely the domain of human beings--from writing college essays to composing worship music. How should Christians respond to this brave new technology? 
 
In this accessible introduction to AI, Sean O'Callaghan and Paul Hoffman explore its social and ethical impacts for ministry and teaching. The authors shed light on the biblical vision for human flourishing--and on how AI can help or hinder that flourishing. Avoiding both alarmism and uncritical acceptance, O'Callaghan and Hoffman offer resources and practical tools for using AI in our classrooms and congregations. 
 
AI can write a generic three-point sermon, but it cannot replace an authentic encounter between humans and the divine. In a time of cultural confusion, O'Callaghan and Hoffman encourage readers to embrace the clarity found in the gospel. The book includes a foreword by A. Trevor Sutton.

The TR-3B Black Manta - What is...

Martin K. Ettington

The TR-3B, or Black Manta, or Astra is one of the most fascinating potentially top secret aircraft ever created by the United States military. 
The big reason for this is that this craft is supposed to use anti-gravity technology. This technology is discussed a lot in this book. 
Also, what other evidence is there for the existence of this craft? There are lots of unknowns here but there are also enough pictures of this aircraft that you can’t just discount sightings as being something else which the observers misinterpreted. 
There are even anti-gravity patents by US government researchers which might be applicable to the reality of the TR-3B. 
Overall, the existence of this craft is a huge mystery which still needs exploration and solutions to what it really is. 
This is what I’m trying to do in this book.
