A New Creature
by Cheyenne NixonA boy&’s father goes to tuck his son in at bed time and before they say their prayers asks if Jesus lives in his heart. The boy says no, and his father begins to tell him about the sinner&’s prayer and explains who Jesus is. &“When He lives in you, you become a new creature&”, the father says to his son. This is derived from the scripture II Corinthians 5:17, &“Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.&” The boy hears all about how Jesus Christ makes us new and accepts Him into his heart. He gets up the next morning and looks in the mirror to see if he has changed. The boy goes on a journey discovering his new life in Christ by going to church, praying, studying the bible, witnessing to friends and drawing pictures about bible stories. A problem comes to test him when he is approached by a bully in school and pushed down to the floor. His immediate reaction is to get up and hit his schoolmate, but the Holy Spirit speaks to him and tells him not to. Discouraged, our protagonist walks home and tells his mother what happened, and she encourages him that he did the right thing. As the child goes on a bike ride, he thinks about his actions and asked the Lord to forgive him for getting upset. He then spots the bully who begins to laugh and taunt him. The boy decides to approach the bully with kindness and tell him hello and forgives him of his actions. This causes the schoolmate to think about what he did and says sorry to the boy. As they make up, the boy invites his new friend in for a piece of cake. The boy now understands that becoming a new creature isn&’t an overnight outward change, but a process of developing a relationship with Christ who has the ability to change our hearts and minds.

A New Fiedler Reader
by Leslie A. FiedlerLeslie Fiedler's radical opinions and theories have changed the way we think about literature and pop culture, challenging long-established schools and ushering in a genre of first-person, experience-based criticism. His views, such as suggesting that college students read Timothy Leary along with John Milton, and his willingness to treat comic books, soap operas, soft porn movies, and romance novels as seriously as the canonical great books, often outraged an intellectual community that labeled him controversial, obscene, and annoying. Fiedler was accused of corrupting the young with dangerous leftist ideas that challenge some of the most dearly held traditional beliefs and easy affirmations, as well as unqualified pieties and allegiances. Now praised and respected as "one of the most important figures in the history of American cultural thought in this century," Fiedler has been applauded for introducing groundbreaking concepts that currently permeate university studies i! n literature. Designed to delight Fiedler's contemporary audience and introduce the author to a whole new generation of readers, A NEW FIEDLER READER is a captivating anthology of Fiedler's most notorious essays, from the often misread and maligned "Come Back to the Raft Ag'in, Huck Honey!" to the creative evaluation of an American literary giant in "An Almost Imaginary Interview: Hemingway in Ketchum." Also included are more recent essays, such as "In Every Generation: A Meditation on the Two Holocausts" and "Who's the Cowboy? Who's the Indian? The Slowest Gun in the West." Complementing these essays are various lesser-known poems and short stories, providing the reader with the complete Fiedler experience.

A New Guide to Sex in the 21st Century: The Young Adult Adaptation of 'The Case Against the Sexual Revolution'
by Louise PerryThe bestselling feminist book, now adapted for a young adult audienceBefore the 1960s, sex before marriage was frowned upon and pornography was difficult to get hold of. We are now much freer to do what we like – there has been a ‘sexual revolution’. This must be a good thing, right?Wrong, argues Louise Perry. These changes have had many negative consequences, especially for girls and women. The main winners from a world of rough sex, hook-ups and freely available porn are a tiny minority of rich and powerful men. Women have been forced to adapt to these changes in ways that often harm them.Louise Perry carefully guides readers through the difficulties of sex in the 21st century. Her advice will be invaluable to all young women and men who may be feeling lost in a world where ‘doing it’ can sometimes seem dangerous or confusing.
