Right now, children's literature is seeing an intense flare-up in the ongoing conversation about the diversity crisis in children's books. While this conversation has been going on for decades, now social media has given the people having it megaphones, and they are using them to brilliant ends. The conversation is loud, important, and people are listening.
So naturally the mainstream media uses this time to publish pieces that give a straight white guy credit for revolutionizing the industry.
Last Sunday, the New York Times Book Review featured a rather bizarre review of John Corey Whaley's Noggin by AJ Jacobs. Noggin is about a boy whose cryogenically-preserved head gets attached to another boy's body. Remember that part for later. Jacobs begins the review, adorably, by discussing how confusing being a teenager is and how Whaley's book is a really metaphor for teenage alienation. And then, well, I really need to quote this part:
With Noggin, Whaley is straddling two genres. Its most obvious allegiance is to the category of teenage romances featuring supernatural characters.
Well, obviously. Guy with cryogenically frozen head gets used to new body=supernatural romance. It must be embarrassing for Whaley to have his influences be so patent.
Jacobs continues:
But "Noggin" actually owes more to the John Green genre, which I like to call Greenlit. Green is the master of first-person, funny-sad young adult novels. His most popular — "The Fault in Our Stars" — also has a main character who is battling cancer.
Ah. "The John Green genre," and "Greenlit!" Sure! Jacobs is talking with a lot of authority for someone who has no idea what he's talking about. He's not alone, though—lots of people who have no idea what they are talking about believe that YA is two genres: Twilight and its imitators and John Green and those he supposedly inspired. Guess which one they think is better?
The idea that first person funny-sad contemporary YA realism is "the John Green genre" might come as a surprise to all the women who have been writing it for a decade or two or three. I'm sure it came as a surprise to John Corey Whaley, too, who thought he was writing his own books. But both books have cancer in them, so Noggin obviously owes a big debt.
Jacobs concludes:
Whenever I finish a novel with a high concept, I do a little test and ask if the book would hold up if the conceit were magically stripped away, if you removed the gimmicks and were left with only the emotional skeleton.
First off, the equation between "high concept" and "gimmick" is reductive, demeaning, and highly revelatory. We could spend a long time unpacking the biases there. Secondly, how is this any different than evaluating realism? Don't we, as readers, hope for all our literary stories to have a strong emotional skeleton?
Finally, Jacob's "little test" is critically suspect at best. Remember the part about the cryogenically-preserved head? This isn't a gimmick, it isn't frou frou; it's an essential part of the story, a deliberate choice made by the author to deliberate ends. And I'm just not sure you're supposed to evaluate surrealism by removing the surreal parts so you can evaluate the parts you understand.
One thing we've learned: it's all-too-easy to let popular narrative guide your views on YA—certainly much easier than ever researching or reading in the field you are talking about. These articles about YA are based entirely on accepted truths from people who live entirely outside the field; they keep getting perpetuated, and everyone nods sagely as someone else proclaims John Green is saving poor teenage girl readers from those silly silly vampire books.
Why, just yesterday the WSJ featured a big profile on Green in conjunction with The Fault in our Stars release. And it would have been so easy for them to just write a good, accurate profile of a highly successful, really interesting author with a movie coming out. But the article just has to overstep:
Some credit him with ushering in a new golden era for contemporary, realistic, literary teen fiction, following more than a decade of dominance by books about young wizards, sparkly vampires and dystopia. … He's thrown his weight behind several young-adult authors who write realistic novels and are now regarded as rising stars, including Rainbow Rowell, E. Lockhart, and A.S. King.
Well. Yes, some do credit him with that. But not anyone who knows what they are talking about.
Rainbow Rowell is a star, but she rose to prominence last year, so calling her a rising star isn't wholly ignorant, just a little behind the times; more, while John Green did give her a good review in the NYTBR, it's demeaning to Rowell's talent and accomplishments to credit her blockbuster success to it. And, speaking of demeaning, A.S. King and e. lockhart are John Green's peers. They are stars, entirely on their own merit. They are blazing trails, not following them. The idea that their success has anything at all to do with John Green's weight can only be entertained if you think that stuff men do is just inherently more important. (And that John Green can time travel.)
Of all the ludicrous and sexist things that have been said about YA of late, this one is the most ludicrous and sexist. But it's a particularly flagrant example of what's been happening in the conversion for years. And there's something really troubling about it all—in a field where the books supposedly appeal primarily to teenage girls, where the stars are innovative and brilliant authors who are predominantly female, we're telling these readers that maybe they can aspire to growing up to be influenced by a guy, too.
Also, A.S. King and e. lockhart do not write realism. There's so much ignorant and insulting about the way they were positioned in that article, and it seems particularly cruel to deny these authors their immense sophistication and ingenuity—and then credit their success to someone who writes much more conventionally. King's books are magical realism, as is lockhart's latest (and her previous books all use postmodern techniques). Magical realism is actually an entirely separate genre from realism.
This is important: when the magic in magical realism is treated as irrelevant or erased, critics are taking a profound literary tradition and robbing it of its significance and import, erasing it altogether. And since this is a genre that rose out of and has been perpetuated by authors from Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa, (and whose practitioners in this country are predominantly female and of color) that gets pretty disturbing.
The American literary canon defaults to realism. Novels that don't fit in this mold are seen in dominant literary culture as other—a deviation from the norm. You can see this bias all through this article—the quotes from editor Zareen Jaffery and agent Michael Bourret as presented* imply that only characters in realism can be relatable, and only realistic stories can be character-driven.
Which is poppycock.
(*For the record, I don't buy for a second that either of them said those words in that order.)
Realism is a construct, the same as any other genre. In America, it sits in a place of privilege as something more literary and authentic—but this is about nothing but tradition. And it's a tradition of white male authors and the white male critics who canonized them.
In American theater in the mid-20th century, serious plays tended to work a certain way; this is the well-made play—realistic domestic dramas with unity of place and time. This is the theater of Eugene O'Neill, Arthur Miller, and Tennessee Williams—all still considered the titans of American Theater. But around the 1960's, voices started to rise up from the margins, and the dominant form didn't work for stories they wanted to tell. The feminists, the writers of color, the LGBT writers exploded conventions in the structure and language of theater. For so long, realism was the standard, but for these writers, form was political—and they had to remake it in order to tell their own stories.
Naturally, certain people get unhappy when anyone from the margins remakes anything. Young playwrights are still often taught that the correct method of storytelling in theater is the well-made play. And those game-changing contributions from feminist, black, Latin, Native, and LGBT playwrights still get treated as "other," as fodder for diversity day on the syllabus instead of essential texts in understanding the history and capacity of theater.
And, as much as those who clutch to realism as standard would deny it, this too is political.
So the peculiar canonization of John Green and this string of bizarre articles that anoint him as the vanguard of a post-sparkly-vampire seriousness in YA isn't simply about taking a white male more seriously than everyone else. It's also about privileging a certain narrative structure—the dominant narrative's dominant narrative. It's not only that Green is a straight white man, it's that he writes in the way that generations of straight white men have deemed important and Literary. And in art, the remaking of form has historically made the establishment very uncomfortable. There's so much innovation in YA (and, hi, middle grade!) and its audience is wonderfully open to new stories told in new ways. By holding up Green as an exemplar, by shoving his peers into his shadow, these critics are telling writers who might be innovating: if you want to be important, write like him.
It's not just YA, of course. Recently the New Yorker posted an essay by Junot Díaz about his experience in an MFA program, "MFA vs POC."
The title pretty much sums it up. The essay is devastating if you care about literature, young writers, or, you know, human beings. Díaz recounts the misery of being a person of color in a program where whiteness is considered the norm, and where no one ever thinks there's any reason to question that norm. Of course, this showed up in everyone's writing:
From what I saw the plurality of students and faculty had been educated exclusively in the tradition of writers like William Gaddis, Francine Prose, or Alice Munro—and not at all in the traditions of Toni Morrison, Cherrie Moraga, Maxine Hong-Kingston, Arundhati Roy, Edwidge Danticat, Alice Walker, or Jamaica Kincaid. In my workshop the default subject position of reading and writing—of Literature with a capital L—was white, straight and male.
This is a literary tradition perpetuating itself by ignoring other voices, treating them as unserious. It's normalizing one type of storytelling and casting the others as suspect. And, among many other things, it's going to make our literature really boring.
This isn't to say that contemporary realism belongs to white men alone; for recent example, Pointe by Brandy Colbert and Yaqui Delgado Wants to Kick Your Ass by Meg Medina use the form beautifully, and to affecting, important, and political ends. In their hands, realism becomes a tool for speaking truths about gender, race, and class.
It is one way. But it is not the only way.
Fantastical elements, non-linear storytelling, unconventional language, postmodernism, experimentation and innovation—these elements tend to otherize a book in our literary culture. But why? Why is a fantasy less serious? Why is it okay to strip the magic from magical realism? This is a reactionary response, based on long literary history, and it's all about power.
We need diverse books. In children's literature, this is urgent for the well-being of our kids. But it's also about the well-being of literature itself. Art thrives on being challenged and questioned and pushed—and it's not the establishment writers and critics who are going to do it. Every single writer benefits from reading stories that play with language and structure and reality—and so do the readers.
We need diverse books, but it's going to be hard to get them when we keep privileging a certain narrative structure, when we keep erasing the elements that make a book unconventional, and when we ignore decades of female writers to canonize one of the white men who follow the path they laid out. This idea of a white male vanguard leading a revolution in realism is reactionary on so many levels. It's time to stop it. It's time to start looking ahead.

Yet anther great new site recently launched recently called FanPagelist.com that highlights all the top Fan Pages in total, and by category (e.g. Actors, Athletes, Musicians…). It's great reviewing who's Facebook Fan Pages are hot ( Vin Diesel is the top actor, Lady Gaga is the top living musician, Michael Jackson the top Musician dead or alive), and who is decidedly not so hot (Tiger Woods is only the 9th most popular athlete in the world ). Interestingly, two of Zynga's games (Texas Hold 'Em and Mafia Wars) are the most popular Fan Pages of all. Below are the top 25 Fan Pages and the Fan count.
Other interesting tid bits found after a quick review of the stats.
While Barack Obama is the dominant politician (8.4mm Fan pages), the second most popular is Michele Obama (1.8mm fans), handily beating John McCain (564k), Mitt Romney (324k). Poor Al Gore has only 39,000 fans.
Rinaldo is the top athlete in the world (4.1mm), followed by Roger Federer (3.4mm), with the top American athlete Michael Phelps (2.9mm) coming in third. Once again, Kobe (2.4mm) is beats LeBron (2.0mm), with Maria Sharapova coming between them (2.1mm). On the team front, the Yankees (1.4mm), beat the Red Sox (1.1mm), the Lakers (993k) beat the Celtics (643k), and the Cowboys (5999k) beat the Steelers (577k). On the league front, the NBA (2.3mm) crushes the NFL (453k), and the NHL (414k).
Michael Jackson (12mm) crushes all musicians, followed by Lady Gaga (7.3mm), with Justin Bieber (4mm) at #7, but with a bullet, having grown by 11k so far today, more than 5k fast than the second fastest growing musician, Lady Gaga.
On the news front, CNN (886k) has finally found a place where they can beat Fox News (606k) and ESPN (572k)
I'm particularly impressed by some of the brands (Coke 5.5mm and Starbucks with 7.2mm) and products (Oreos with 4.5mm and Skittles 4.5mm) that have drawn big crowds to their fan pages.
Go the the site and check it out. It's a lot of fun!

2nd Grader Attends School Via An 'Avatar'
Though we may all moan and groan about having to go to school each morning, the truth is that it is not all bad - I mean where else can you hang out with friends, complain about teachers and exchange carrots for cookies? Therefore, you can only imagine how Buffalo, NY resident Devon Carrow felt when he realized that he could not and may never be able to attend 'normal' school. Now, thanks to his alter ego, a 4-ft tall robot, he is able to do everything except . . . . Share his lunch.
Born with life-threatening allergies to peanuts, milk, eggs and numerous other foods, as well as, things like perfumes and fabric softeners, Devon's parents knew that there was no way the young boy would be able to survive in a normal classroom environment, especially since even breathing in an allergen could result in an anaphylactic shock. So, at the age of 5 when most kids are looking forward to going to kindergarten, Devon was confined to home schooling in complete isolation, something the whole family was resigned to doing for the rest of his life until, they heard about this incredible 'avatar'.
The 4-ft tall chrome and steel VGo robot that is fitted with a television screen and acts as a two way audio/video mobile communications system, may not be as cool looking as the one depicted by James Cameron, but it sure has opened a whole new world for Devon - One where he gets to experience school life on an day-to-day basis and interact real time, with his teachers and friends. The best part is that since the robot is mobile and has a battery life of eight hours, Devon can 'walk' to the library, chill out with his friends during breaks and lunch and even, join them on the playground.
Though life has improved immensely for the young boy since his 'Avatar' entered his life last January, things are still not easy. He has to carry his own popcorn and bring sheets to cover the seats when he goes out for movies. He cannot go out for play dates and if his friends want to come over, they have to shower and change their clothes before they are allowed to play with him. When he joins his boy scouts troupe for a camping trip, he not only carries his own food, but also, a special tent.
On the positive side, since the only foods he can safely consume are potatoes, corn and apples, he never encounters the dreaded broccoli - And, can have French fries for breakfast if he so wishes! He is also scheduled to undergo a special treatment program, which will hopefully improve his immunity so that he does not have to live such an isolated life.
While Devon is not the first kid to use this amazing robot, he is, the youngest. The first user of this VGo robot was Knox High School freshman Lyndon Baty. Diagnosed with Polycystic Kidney disease, a disorder that weakened his immune system so much, that just like Devon he was resigned to spending his life in isolation.
Fortunately, an enterprising salesman from VGo communications happened to call the school district even though he had no idea how it could be used, given that the technology had originally been developed for use in manufacturing plants to monitor production or for doctors to watch the health of elderly patients who are living independently. But the educators at Knox High School knew exactly what to do and soon Lyndon and his $6,000 USD alter ego were happily settled at school. Hopefully, as more schools and students discover the VGo, 'Avatars' strolling around hallways laughing and joking with friends, will become a common sight.

Chinese Sky Lantern
Maxwell's Daily Find 07.04.12
Chinese Sky Lantern
• $3.00 - $9.00
• SkyLantern.com
I'm bringing this back today for the 4th of July: I first saw these floating up in the sky about a year ago and they blew my mind. Silent and luminous, they float upward on the breeze driven only by a small flame in their belly. I saw one after another lift off into the sky and they never seemed to stop. They are more heavenly than earthly.
What are they? Chinese Sky Lanterns are light paper balloons that rise on hot air and then fall when the heat element goes out. Traditional in some Asian cultures, you can read more about them here, but they seem to have caught on in this country in the past few years and we've now got a lot of sources for them, as well as Eco versions that help deal with the fact that they can be messy when they land. The site listed above is the cheapest site I found, but I also found them at Wishlantern.com in what looks like a more premium version, as well as at Amazon.com of course.
4 Comments
Eco versions? You mean ones that can't start crop or forest fires? Yes they look lovely in theory but, please, too much serious damage has already been caused by them to encourage their use.
My daughter had a Rapunzel/Twisted (Disney) themed party, and we'd considered lighting a few of these in the evening. Then I thought: Hm, what happens when these things fall to the ground? I read your post, Wills, thanks, the same worries I had! The exhortation to "exercise caution" is pretty meaningless, isn't it? What does that mean? Does that mean follow the lanterns until they land and pick up the remains? Does it mean only light them on a rainy night in a national forest known to have no wildlife? Hm. Well, we exercised caution by not lighting them. Gorgeous as they are.
@Wills Was just coming to say the same thing. We've had them in the UK for years, and now police, farmers and firefighters put out continual warnings not to use them because of the damage they cause. I once did a news report on a farmer who had several of his cows die in absolute agony after being burnt and/or trapped in a fire caused by falling lanterns. They're beautiful, but not worth the danger.
Always wondered about that -- I hoped they blew out before landing, but I gather not. Too bad...
(Similar problem with released helium balloons -- they cause all kinds of problems when animals (mostly sea life) eat them thinking they are something more digestible.)

Glen Buffett, General Manager of Norfolk Island Government Tourist Bureau welcomes The Unique Tourism Collection, as the Norfolk Island Tourism public relations representatives in Australia. Marketing, PR, consumer awareness and trade relationships are undertaken by the Unique Tourism Collection (UTC) who have twenty years experience in bringing luxury and unique travel, and tourism to Australians, working directly with trade, media and consumers.
Mr Buffett comments, "We are looking forward to our continued relationship with the Unique Tourism Collection, and are confident that the skilled team will continue to shed light on this beautiful and pristine destination". The importance to increase understanding and highlight Norfolk Island's diverse tourism experiences through PR support and destination advertising is of the highest priority to the island's tourism sector.
Jonica Paramor, Managing Director of The Unique Tourism Collection, was excited to announce the development of Norfolk Islands 6 month Marketing and PR plan to be rolled out over the forthcoming months, further enhancing awareness of this stunning destination.
In addition to the newly appointed PR firm, Air New Zealand which was awarded the air travel contract for the Island by the Commonwealth Government in December 2011 has had a successful first month of trade into Norfolk Island with good numbers and on-time flight schedules. Air New Zealand fly into Norfolk Island using their A320 aircrafts, and offer four direct flights weekly from Sydney and Brisbane. Air New Zealand has operated into Norfolk Island since 1947 and has significant presence in the Tasman market.
David Buffett, Chief Minister of Norfolk Island, comments in light of negative press released this month that the principle industry of tourism for the Island remains viable and is being marketed strongly. Since April 2011, an upswing of consumer visitation to Norfolk has been evident, and reception to the destination is strong. Adding another dimension of tourism to Norfolk Island is work underway to secure funding for infrastructure changes to continue to attract cruise ships to the Island and ensure successful disembarkation.

Here are the most popular questions we receive about using our construction permit map:
A permit is considered "Open" when the project for which it is issued is still active and in the process of completion. Once a project is completed, final inspections have been made, and the project deemed to be in compliance with applicable regulations it is closed. Some permits may remain "Open" for an extended period of time as long as some work is occurring at the site. A permit may also be considered "Open" if there are other permits or approvals associated with it that are also "Open." For example a building permit for a home will also have an associated Electrical Permit.
When do I need a building (electrical/hvac) permit?In general, a permit is needed for all new construction and major exterior work, such building additions, fences, driveways, garages and other accessory structures such as storage buildings. Before beginning a project, property owners are advised to check with our department, as some projects may have different requirements. Learn more on our Construction Review page.

Simm on 50th: "I didn't get a call"
In the ongoing saga of will they/won't they/surely they have asked by now and are probably secretly filming as we speak, the Master himself John Simm has denied that he'll be returning to the show for the 50th anniversary.
Appearing as a guest on The Jonathan Ross Show, Simm coyly denied that he has had any contact from the BBC about potentially giving the Scissor Sisters one last spin.
Here's the full transcript of the hilarious exchange:
Jonathan Ross: 'You were a big part of the Doctor Who series when David Tennant was the Doctor; the 50th anniversary is coming up: is your Master going to be appearing in that?'
John Simm: (A pause eerily similar to the Master) '…No'
JR: 'Definitely no?'
JS: 'I think unless, erh, I don't know when they're filming it. I haven't heard anything at all. I think it's pretty much no…'
JR: 'It's a shame. I'd love to see him back.'
JS: 'Hmm, well, I didn't get a call…'
JR: '…Bastards'
So with the Zygons already in place would you like to see the Master behind the scenes manipulating events or are you happy to leave him after the events of The End of Time?
The Master; can you decide whether he should live or die? (See what I did there?)
(via Blogtor Who)
6 Responses to Simm on 50th: "I didn't get a call"
If the Master came back I think it would need to be a different actor.
I feel Simms Master became too much of a cartoon character in the end of time episodes, he needs a regeneration and to be more sinister.
While I get wanting the Doctor's arch-enemy in the 50th, to be honest, his story was wrapped up once and for all in The End of Time, and for all the flaws that story has (in my opinion), writing out Simm's Master was a good end, so I wouldn't be too upset if he didn't come back.
If they're going to have the two latest Doctors, then why not the two latest Masters? Simm and Jacobi. Now, that I would be excited for!
I think John Simm did a fantastic job in his role as The Master. It'd be a shame if he didn't come back.

Between Conquest and Independence: Real Wages and Demographic Change in Spanish America, 1530-1820
AbstractOn the basis of a newly constructed dataset, this paper presents long-term series of the price levels, nominal wages, and real wages in Spanish Latin America – more specifically in Mexico, Peru, Bolivia, Colombia, Chile, and Argentina – between ca. 1530 and ca. 1820. It synthesizes the work of scholars who have collected and published data on individual cities and periods, and presents comparable indices of real wages and prices in the colonial period that give a reasonable guide to trends in the long run. We show that wages and prices were on average much higher than in Western Europe or in Asia, a reflection of the low value of silver that must have had consequences for competitiveness of the Latin American economies. Labour scarcity was the second salient feature of Spanish Latin America and resulted in real wages much above subsistence and in some cases (Mexico, Bolivia, Argentina) comparable to levels in Northwestern Europe. For Mexico, this was caused by the dramatic decline of the population after the Conquest. For Bolivia, the driving force was the boom in silver mining in Potosi that created a huge demand for labour. In the case of Argentina, low population density was a pre-colonial feature. Perhaps due to a different pattern of depopulation, the real wages of other regions (Peru, Colombia, Chile) were much lower, and only increased above subsistence during the first half of the 18th century. These results are consistent with independent evidence on biological standards of living and with estimates of GDP per capita at the beginning of the 19th century.?

Comprehensive Association Agreement between Central America and the European Union
The EU issued a press release about what one might call the EU equivalent of the CAFTA agreement between the US and Central America. It has been approved but not yet ratified by everyone.
While a comparision with CAFTA will take ages (CAFTA is huge and full of things that don't exactly fit the idea of free), it looks like the same sort of agreement. That is, it is a document that sets an initial baseline and plans to move toward free in the future. Here is how it is characterized in the press release.
The Association Agreement consists of three pillars: political dialogue, cooperation and trade. The Agreement is a comprehensive tool that provides with all the means needed for an integrated relation, going from political dialogue to cooperation and trade. The different parts of the Association Agreement complement each other. That is the most important added value of this instrument. It is not only a trade agreement and it goes far beyond traditional agreements as it creates interdependence between the various parts of the Agreement.
Unlike CAFTA, Panama is included and the Dominical Republic is not. I would expect the inclusion of Panama is a big difference because of the Panama Canal.
How this will all play out is an unknown right now. Clearly, the EU hopes it will increase sales to Central America and decrease costs of imports from Central America. On the Nicaragua/Central America end, it is possible that some imports from the EU will displace imports from the US or products from the EU that are currently imported into the US and then exported here.
Thinking on my consumption list, I don't buy that many BMWs :-) but maybe it will decrease the price of the olive oil I buy. It certainly could increase the market share of car manufacturers such as Renault and Peugeot who both have a small presence here.

Stuff. Travel Pix (Places, Musicians, Critters, Art, Food, Buildings, Folk etc). Occasional Verbage. Very little Reblogging . . . . . . . . Mostly Harmless.
Valença, Portugal
Taken on an early morning wander across the border from Spain. No one awake yet. Possibly because its an hour earlier. Funny things, time zones.

Publisher's Description
Money has great power in our lives. Used wisely, it is one key to accomplishing our goals, providing for our needs, and fulfilling our life purpose. In recent years, many of us ignored the wisdom of the past when it came to managing and spending our money. Credit card debt soared, savings rates plummeted, and our home equity became something to be tapped into and spent rather than a source of security in retirement. We felt an insatiable desire for more. And we found ourselves spending tomorrows money today in order to have what we hoped would satisfy. The result of all of this was not greater happiness and satisfaction, but greater stress and anxiety.
Enough is an invitation to rediscover the Bibles wisdom when it comes to prudent financial practices. In these pages are found the keys to experiencing contentment, overcoming fear, and discovering joy through simplicity and generosity. This book could change your life, by changing your relationship with money.
We Americans love our stuff. Were living in a fast-paced, me-first, instant-gratification world, and its finally catching up to us. Debt is out of control, homes are in foreclosure ... even banks are going out of business. What the world needs today is the message of contentment and simplicity, and thats exactly what Pastor Adam Hamilton delivers in Enough.Dave Ramsey, New York Times Best-Selling Author and Nationally Syndicated Radio Talk Show Host
Once again, Adam Hamilton is leading the church; Enough is enough was once a Wesleyan watchword. Adam breathes new life into the Wesleyan commitment to simplicity. Amid a culture of greed and conspicuous consumption Adam calls us to a biblically based, evangelical joy of having the faith to say enough is enough.
Bishop Will Willimon
United Methodist Church, Birmingham Area
I pay close attention to whatever Adam Hamilton writes. His books are marked by extraordinary pastoral insight, biblical and theological depth, courage to speak the truth, and down-to-earth practicality. Enough comes like an antidote in the middle of a pandemic. I hope that classes, groups, couples, and individuals will use this bookand the economic crisis it addressesas a challenge to get healthy again by deepening our discipleship in the vital area of money and possessions.
