What started as a joke account on Instagram has turned into a movement. Through this provocative project, the founder of PreachersNSneakers is helping thousands of Jesus followers wrestle with the inevitable dilemmas created by a culture obsessed with image and entertainment. In PreachersNSneakers: Authenticity in an Age of For-Profit Faith and (Wannabe) Celebrities, the author boldly confronts many of the difficult questions plaguing countless Christians' minds, such as : Should pastors grow wealthy off of religion, and why do we get so angry when they do? Is it okay to stoke envy among others with curated "lifestyle" images on social media? Do we really believe that divine blessings are monetary, or is that just religious wallpaper to hide our own greed? Is there space in Christendom for celebrities like Kanye and Bieber to exist without distorting the good news? What about this: Is it wrong for someone like this author to call out faith leaders online and leverage "cancel culture" to affect change? PreachersNSneakers will navigate these challenging questions and many more with humor, wit, candor, and a few never-before-published hijinks. Each chapter will explore the various sides of the debate, holding space for readers to make up their own minds. The book will doubtlessly become a staple for church small groups, college ministries, and book clubs, emboldening struggling believers who want to live a more genuine faith." --

Rot by Scanlan, Padraic X.,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Irish questions -- A hungry island -- Working for the dead horse -- The people's potato -- Peel's brimstone -- The end of the world -- Expulsions -- The Crystal Palace."In 1845, European potato fields from Spain to Scandinavia were attacked by a novel pathogen. But it was only in Ireland, then part of the United Kingdom, that the blight's devastation reached apocalyptic levels, leaving more than a million people dead bystarvation and forcing millions more to emigrate. In Rot, historian Padraic X. Scanlan offers the definitive account of the Great Famine, showing how British imperialism left Ireland uniquely vulnerable to starvation. Ireland's overreliance on the potatowas a desperate adaptation to an unstable and unequal marketplace created by British colonialism. The empire's laissez faire economic policies saw Ireland exporting livestock and grain even as its people starved. British officials refused to send aid, believing that only free markets and wage labor could save the Irish. Ireland's wretchedness, before and during the Great Famine, was often blamed on Irish backwardness, but in fact, it resulted from the British empire's embrace of modern capitalism. Uncovering the disaster's roots in Britain's deep imperial faith in markets, commerce, and capitalism, Rot completely reshapes our understanding of the Great Famine and its tragic legacy"--
