Jeffrey Sachs draws on his remarkable 25 years' experience to offer a thrilling and inspiring vision of the keys to economic success in the world today. Marrying vivid storytelling with acute analysis, he sets the stage by drawing a conceptual map of the world economy and explains why, over the past 200 years, wealth and poverty have diverged and evolved across the planet, and why the poorest nations have been so markedly unable to escape the trap of poverty. Sachs tells the remarkable stories of his own work in Bolivia, Poland, Russia, India, China and Africa to bring readers with him to an understanding of the different problems countries face. In the end, readers will be left not with an understanding of how daunting the world's problems are, but how solvable they are and why making the effort is both our moral duty and in our own interests.

You don’t have to spend very long doing youth work these days to realise that there are certain phrases that teenagers find hard. The main three are Sorry, Thank You and I Love You. When you realise that these phrases form a sizeable chunk of our worship vocabulary, you can see the challenge that lies before us in engaging this generation in worship. This generation of young people operate in a barely recognisable culture to that of 15 years ago, and this is an attempt to deconstruct some of that subliminal framework as it applies to worship. It analyses the changing attitudes and trends in youth culture and details the implications for how we facilitate worship for young people. It also lays out a belief that worship can be a culture-shaper for young people, kick-starting the community and intimacy so lacking in much of youth culture. Issues covered attitudes to leadership, reverence, imagery, interaction, community, silence, attention span, narcissism, romance and many more. Each discussion flows into practical application, with key principles for practice. The book also includes 85 ideas and suggestions for worship based on the principles outlined; from liturgy to graffiti, from emailing God to writing future headlines.
