Youth Movement

In the wake of the Obama presidency, a group of young charismatic conservatives catapulted onto the American political and cultural scenes, eager to thwart nationwide pushes for greater equity and inclusion.

As he stumbled through high school, struggling to find a community among other fans of punk rock music, Christian Picciolini was recruited by a now notorious white power skinhead leader and encouraged to fight with the movement to "protect the white race from extinction." Soon, he had become an expert in racist philosophies, a terror who roamed the neighborhood, quick to throw fists.

Temperatures are rising all over the world, leading to wildfires, droughts, animal extinctions, and ferocious storms - climate change is real.

One of the biggest problems mankind faces today is one of our own making: Climate change. While this continues to be debated by climate deniers even today, one cannot ignore the effect that it so obviously has on our communities and the natural world surrounding them. In this age of rampant wildfires and melting icecaps, the youth of today are striving tirelessly to make their voices heard. Throughout this audiobook, we will detail the efforts these young people are undertaking in order to ensure that the planet will continue to sustain us for generations to come.

Jesus dearly loved children. Jesus had lambs. Jesus had babes. He deeply loved them as part of his precious flock. However, the picture we see today is so different. Children come to church but are either found sitting in a corner playing video games on mummy’s phone or, paying hide and seek in the church, instead of praying. The children in the church today urgently need their own UPPER ROOM experiences. Each generation needs its personal introduction to the Holy Spirit and we need to be deliberate about it. A truly special book written by a special author with a genuine heart for children.
