Robert Cook

This book tells the story of Rev Robert Cook's journey to El Salvador to learn about poverty in the lives of the people in the developing world. His self-declared search to understand third world poverty became a decades long learning experience that the poverty lifestyle of the Salvadoran people who became friends who taught him poverty cannot be understood apart from the violence of massacres and murder by death squads that were military strategy that was used against the poor in the 12 year-long civil war. And so, Robert's search to know Salvadoran poverty became a commitment serving as missionary for development of human needs with the Parish Team of the Parish of St. Joseph in Berlin, El Salvador. He continues his work as organizer and fundraiser for A Legacy of Light, a solar electrification project that installs solar electricity for small farm family homes on the Berlin Mountain located in eastern El Salvador. Royalties earned by sales of this book help to fund that solar electrification project.

How Can We Pass On Our Faith to Our Kids?" After seeing the cover of this book, you may be asking yourself, "Why would a Pastor write a book about killing off youth ministry?" We lose 60% to 90% of all church-raised kids upon graduation. These stats were enough to keep Rob Cook up at night, on his knees. How did we get so good at turning kids off from God? Alienating Youth 101 or Quitting Church for Teens isn't taught in seminary. Where have we lost our way? He prayed, God answered. After 20 years of ministry to teens in Greater Philadelphia through 252 Underground, Rob offers fresh, street-proven ways to equip young lives for eternity through a lifelong vibrant walk with Christ. If you have a heart for unchurched teens, and are passionate about exchanging the old ineffectual ways for ways that will impact young lives for eternity, Youthanize is the guide that can help make that happen. About the Author: Robert Cook lives in Philadelphia with his wife Stephanie, son Christian, and several beloved pets. What Others are Saying... I have deplored the shallow pseudo-Christian nature of most American youth ministry my entire adult life. The fact that so many youth have left the church is no surprise. So I'm delighted that Rob Cook has blessed the church with this book, especially as it rises from the authority of his gritty, hands-on ministry. Whether you're a teen or care about teens, Rob will tell you what you need to hear and show you what to do about it. Peter Lundell, D.Miss., M.Div. Author, missionary, pastor, Bible college instructor "Go," was never a Suggestion. Rob Cook understands what it takes to follow God's Call down a path few are willing to travel. His book is a blueprint to help you navigate the Journey. Rev Chuck Kieffer Pastor, The Foundry Church Evangelism Catalyst, North American Mission Board Host, Up at Night Radio At first I thought, oh another youth ministry book. Wow, Robert Cook. You just never cease to amaze me. It was page after page and I just kept going with the out-of-the-box thinking that you shared. I've been in ministry for 39 years. I think we pastors all have cut our teeth in youth ministry, and I thought I was innovative and clever in my efforts to reach the youth of our community. Then I read Youthanize. I love how you break all the rules. As I read your book on the plane, I wanted to show it to everybody and tell them what a brilliant piece of literature this book is. It needs to be shared with everybody-in ministry and out of ministry. You show so many great ways to connect with youth and keep them coming back wanting more. This book is a winner, brother, Thank you for letting me share and encourage you to keep going strong, because you've inspired me in my writings. God bless you Rob.

In the early eighties, the second Muslim I ever met threatened to kill me because he thought I was making fun of his god while I was asking another Muslim about the first Palestinian intifada (the many suicide bombings) in Israel. Little did I know then that I would ever study Islam and the Quran and write a book about the two subjects. Muslims are "commanded" in the Quran to believe in all the books/revelations that Allah has sent down to all mankind, which include the Old and New Testaments. Though Islamic scholars and Imams teach that the Old and New Testaments are corrupted and therefore should not be studied. The Quran says nothing at all about the Word of Allah as being corrupted. In fact, the Quran states that Allah "preserves his word." So when Muslims refuse to read or study the Bible, they are rejecting the word of Allah In this book, the Quran and the Bible are quoted throughout, covering subjects like how the Quran actually glorifies Jesus above Muhammed by declaring that Jesus was a faultless man. A faultless man is a perfect man, which is more than just a man, because no man who has ever lived on the earth has been faultless except Jesus. This book is an effort to inform all, including Muslims, about Islam and the Quran so that we may better understand the fastest growing religion in the world and to give Christians what they need to know about Islam in their efforts to reach out to Muslims.

The American Civil War was without doubt the defining event in the history of the United States. This up-to-date analyisis of a critical period goes beyond the origins, course and consequences of the Civil War to bring in other important themes such as racial conflict, gender relations, religion, the popular memory and state formation.

A powerful and moving account of the campaign for civil rights in modern America. Robert Cook is concerned less with charismatic leaders like Martin Luther King, and more with the ordinary men and women who were mobilised by the grass-roots activities of civil-rights workers and community leaders. He begins with the development of segregation in the late nineteenth century, but his main focus is on the continuing struggle this century. It is a dramatic story of many achievements - even if in many respects it is also a record of unfinished business.

Luton Past & Present gives a fascinating insight into the dramatic changes that have taken place in the city during the 20th century. The book recalls houses and public buildings, shops, factories and pubs that have vanished or been changed almost beyond recognition. The pictures show changing types of transport and fashion, and the developing character of streets and districts as they took on the form that is familiar today. The astonishing periods of growt that occurred during the late Victorian and Edwardian eras, and since the Second World War, are particularly well illustrated. Many aspects of the changing city are recalled – hospitals and schools, places of work and recreation, parks and squares, suburban streets and the main thoroughfares – and the pictures record the ceaseless building and rebuilding that characterizes the city today.
