Reviews
"More so than any other book on modern social and political activism, Hope and Other Superpowers should be required reading for anyone who wants to work against prejudice, hatred, and despair." -- Donovan's Literary Services, "In this enjoyable book...Pavlovitz's honest examination of his own shortcomings is refreshing and reassures readers that mistakes and vulnerabilities can be seen as opportunities for positive transformation...Readers looking to channel distress into self-betterment will definitely want to pick this up." -- Publishers Weekly, "Pavlovitz asserts this is not a self-help book. Instead, "it's a life-affirming, love-defending, butt-kicking manifesto." Well, yes, but it's also a 241-page pep talk with, as a leitmotif, generous references to superheroes whose character traits and powers epitomize those the author espouses. The result is high-energy, even perfervid...As for those superhero character traits, Pavlovitz writes eloquently about sacrifice, courage, humor...and more." -- Booklist, "[Pavlovitz] despairs about the state of the world and the values of the leaders tasked with repairing it. But he holds tightly to hope, and his new book is an impassioned plea for his followers to do the same." --Chicago Tribune

Synopsis
Overwhelmed by the news cycle and the state of affairs in our world? Pastor, blogger, and powerful voice in the Resistance, John Pavlovitz has the answer: this rousing and inspirational guide, drawing from lessons of our favorite superheroes, for how we can band together, live more heroically (and meaningfully), and save the world. It's exhausting to give a damn these days, isn't it? Perhaps you're feeling anguished about what you see on the news or in your social media timeline, or by your personal circumstances, and are paralyzed waiting for political or religious leaders, or celebrities, to rescue us from it all. But what if you didn't have to wait for someone else? What if you could be the hero? This book--a spirited call to action--shows you how. In these pages, John offers a path away from the vitriol and toward com-passion, and a plan to transform our burdens into dreams and our outrage into activism. Drawing from lessons of beloved fictional superheroes, John shows us how to identify our origin story, build protective suits of armor, guard against our personal kryptonite, and vanquish our villains. He also identifies ten specific "superpowers" that we can enlist to make our lives and our world better. Along the way, he shares inspiring anecdotes and profiles about ordinary people who saw a gap in the world in empathy or kindness or gratitude and decided to fill it. Hope and Other Superpowers is an invitation to anyone hoping to be the kind of person the world so desperately needs--the kind who can save it. In other words: it's an invitation to you., Overwhelmed by the news cycle and the state of affairs in our world?

- h***j (356)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufThe package got lost through the USPS. Seller was great in tracking it down. You can tell by the delivery box it had traveled the long way to get here. The seller deserves an A+ for communication. The item was also as described and looks great and it’s new home. Thank you.Southwestern Style Totem Patchwork Lumbar Hide Throw Pillow World Market (Nr. 146032077367)
- l***b (131)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufThis is a scam. The book came directly from Barnes & Noble (it's the return address on the package). The book is currently available for $20 with free shipping - they charged me $48. They are just price gauging listings and ordering it from the B&N website. The package has a receipt from B&N with him as the buyer and me as recipient. Seller denied my return request and ignored my message. This is what gives eBay a bad name. This is fraud. Awful seller.
