A world where social rank rules and your status sets your inevitable course in life - sound familiar? Just imagine if it was all controlled by an app! In Averee's world, the usual trials of making your way into adulthood come with the added stress of Ranked, a ubiquitous and all-knowing tech innovation that awards you points for socially acceptable behavior and takes them away when you don't conform. It seems fun enough at first, but it becomes much more than a game when Averee's rank suddenly drops overnight. Now she's getting hassled at school, blocked from her favorite restaurants, and her mom is out of a job. Luckily for our hero, she has Zoe - a bottom-ranked BFF - whose open disdain for all things Ranked makes her the perfect accomplice on what's about to be the heist of the century: they're staging a raid on the app's corporate HQ to set things right and its spokesperson, the virtual popstar Pretty Kitty, is in their sights. With Averee's crush Luke in tow, these friends are in way over their heads and they're about to learn that the “right” they're fighting for may be on a global scale.AVEREE is one average girl's mission through a world of near-future tech to take back control of her life, in a fun philosophical adventure!

In This Book: Dave Johnson takes a thorough look at the culture of one of the Filipino people groups with a view toward developing a contextual theology that is biblically accurate, missiologically sound and culturally relevant throughout the Filipino lowlands. He delves deep, seeking to understand the religious worldview assumptions that underpin and drive the various religious practices and the people who are involved in them. Some of the specific issues he tackles are: - All Saints' Day and the dead returning to their gravesites - Praying to Mary and the Saints - Demon possession - Town Fiestas - Sickness and healing - How people have been transformed by the power of God within their own cultural setting, both in the past and present - And much more From the Foreword Theology in Context: A Case Study in the Philippines . . is a serious reflection on some of the formal and animistic practices of Catholicism that have resulted in Folk Catholicism. His purpose, after many years of research and reflection, is to offer a biblical response to these practices as well as to the worldview that underpins them. Read, be inspired, and come to a deeper understanding of how the Word of God can and must impact Filipino culture. Dr. J. Russell Turney Asia Pacific Regional Director Assemblies of God World Mission Dave Johnson has done the church and the mission community a great service by providing a study that engages the animistic world view of the Philippines and the impact the gospel has in bringing change. This is true grassroots research which has implications for communicating the gospel and contextualizing God's Word into the practical issues of life. Practical implications of this study to the pastor or mission worker are important. I commend Dr. Johnson for his delving into addressing the animistic world of the Filipinos and showing Christ's power to deliver from deception Rev.
