Paperback. Zustand: Good. 2020 Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Award Finalists - Ecology and Environment Jesus' command is clear: we are called to feed all of God's children. But is that possible? Twenty-five years ago, 23.3 percent of the world's population lived in hunger. Today, that number has dropped to 12.9 percent--giving rise to the renewed hope that what once seemed unthinkable is now within reach. The challenges are great, but the fight to eliminate malnutrition and hunger is one we can win. The End of Hunger brings together activists, politicians, scientists, pastors, theologians, and artists on this urgent topic. Here is a comprehensive picture of the current situation--the latest facts and figures are presented alongside compelling stories, both from those engaged in the fight against hunger and from the hungry themselves. Here too are clear steps for action by individuals, families, churches, and communities. This book is designed to inform and inspire you to get involved in the gospel work of eradicating global malnutrition and feeding the hungry. It is Jesus' command--and together, with God's help, we can do it. Contributors include Chef Rick BaylessDavid BeasleyThe Rev.

Hardback. Zustand: Fair. "In many ways, Land combines bits and pieces of many of Winchester's previous books into a satisfying, globe-trotting whole. . . . Winchester is, once again, a consummate guide."--Boston Globe The author of The Professor and the Madman, The Map That Changed the World, and The Perfectionists explores the notion of property--bought, earned, or received; in Europe, Africa, North America, or the South Pacific--through human history, how it has shaped us and what it will mean for our future. Land--whether meadow or mountainside, desert or peat bog, parkland or pasture, suburb or city--is central to our existence. It quite literally underlies and underpins everything. Employing the keen intellect, insatiable curiosity, and narrative verve that are the foundations of his previous bestselling works, Simon Winchester examines the fascinating human history of what we human beings are doing--and have done--with the billions of acres that together make up the solid surface of our planet. Land: How the Hunger for Ownership Shaped the Modern World examines in depth the complex topic of land ownership: how we acquire land, how we steward it, how and why we fight over it, and finally, how we can, and on occasion do, come to share it. Ultimately, Winchester confronts the essential questions of property rights: who actually owns the world's land--and why does it matter?  A Globe-Trotting World History: Follow the story of property from Europe and Africa to North America and the South Pacific, exploring how our relationship with the ground beneath our feet has shaped nations and cultures. Environmental Stewardship: Go beyond acquisition to explore how we care for the land we own, the challenges of stewardship, and the profound consequences of our choices. A Geopolitical Perspective: Investigate why we fight over territory, from ancient disputes to modern conflicts, and what these battles reveal about our deepest instincts. Narrative Nonfiction at its Finest: Written with the keen intellect and insatiable curiosity that made Simon Winchester a bestselling author, this book makes complex history feel like a gripping story.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. Emily Scott never planned on becoming a pastor. But when she started achurchformisfits that met over dinner in Brooklyn, she discoveredanunlikely calling-and an antidote to modern loneliness. "I absolutely devoured this exquisitely written memoir."-Nadia Bolz-Weber,New York Timesbestselling author ofShameless As founding pastor of St. Lydia's in Brooklyn, New York, where worshiptakes place over a meal, Emily M. D. Scott spent eight years ministeringto a scrappy collective of people with different backgrounds, incomes,and levels of social skills. Each week they broke bread, sang hymns,madehalting conversation with strangers, then did the dishes. In a city where everyone lives on top of each other yet everyone is lonely, these gatherings around a table offered connection and solace that soon would become their lifelines. When Hurricane Sandy slams into the coast of New York, Scott and her church members are faced with a disorienting crisis.Startled by the impact of the storm on their more vulnerable neighbors, they learn to work alongside one another, bailing water out of basements and canvassing emptied apartment buildings.Every week, they return to those steady, strong tables at Dinner Church. Together, they find community, even in the midst of disaster. Scott discovers how smallacts ofconnection hold more power than werealize in a time when ourdifferences are being weaponized, and learns to create activism and justice workfueled by empathy and relationship. With tenderness and humor, Scott weavesstories and reflections from the life of her unlikely congregation while articulating the value of church as a place where people can hear notonly that they are loved but that they are good. ForAllWhoHungeris a story about a Godwhose love has no limits and a faith that opens our eyes to the truth.There's a placeforyou at thetable. Praise for For All Who Hunger "In thisintimate and openly heartfeltdebut memoir, Scott explores the power of faith and communityas strength-building resources for navigating difficult times. . . . A moving personal memoir and an accessibly reverent meditation on finding faith through unconventional acts of worship.Highly inspiring for anyone seeking solace in our modern world."-Kirkus Reviews(starred review) "Lutheran pastor Scott asks in her exceptional debut: if you strip from church all 'the creeds and the chasubles,' what would be left? The answer, for her, became St. Lydia's Dinner Church in New York City, which she founded in 2008 as a place for queer, marginalized, artistic, nerdy, and often lonely lovers of God to gather for bread, wine, and the words of Jesus . . . Scott's writing is leavened by a healthy dose of self-awareness, and her stories capture the humanity of her mission and community with a light sacramental touch."-Publishers Weekly(starred review).…
