Every generation inherits the problems created by the ones before them, but no generation will inherit as many problems--as many crises--as the current generation of young people. From the devastations of climate change to the horrors of gun violence, from rampant transphobia to the widening wealth gap, from the lack of health care to the lack of housing, the challenges facing the next generation can feel insurmountable. But change, even revolution, is possible; you just have to know where to start. Covering sixteen topics and featuring more than two dozen interviews with prominent activists, authors, actors, and politicians, this is the essential resource for those who want to make the world better than we found it. Featuring interviews with: Mehcad Brooks, Keah Brown, Julian Castro, Sonja Cherry-Paul, Chelsea Clinton, Charlotte Clymer, Mari Copeny aka Little Miss Flint, Greg D'Amato, Jesse Katz, Amed Khan, Daniel Alejandro Leon-Davis, Willy and Jo Lorenz, Ben O'Keefe, Brittany Packnett-Cunningham, Anna Paquin, Robert Reich, Brandon T. Snider, Nic Stone, Anton Treuer, Andrea Tulee, David Villalpando, Elizabeth Warren, Shannon Watts, Natalie Weaver, Brandon Wolf.

This book should be required reading for anyone who cares about America. Better Than We Found It is a voice of reason and common sense in the cacophony of indignant tirades that saturate the media. If you're looking for a balanced source of simple solutions for the problems we face today, read this book. Solutions abound, from the obvious to the outlandish. With each new chapter you might find yourself asking "Why don't we do this already?" As refreshing as he is irreverent, Park demystifies the challenges facing our nation and identifies the tools and methods - that often already exist - with which we can solve them. This book includes thoughtful and straight forward solutions for problems as diverse as government and military reform, understanding how our country is financed, improving our education system, making our tax system fair, youth mentors, immigration, making high speed rail as convenient as air travel, middle east peace, homelessness, green energy, making electric cars mainstream, enabling average people make to make money from the sun and wind, using the census to make democracy stronger, and even reducing head injuries in football and making the game more athletic by rethinking helmets. Some of the ideas like National Service, and full democracy for American citizens living in Washington, DC are as old as our country, and others such as offering tax breaks for losing weight are on the cutting edge of policy debates. Using airport security to catch actual criminals, implementing logical gun rules, getting solar panels on every rooftop, preventing genocide, labeling our news sources like we label our food, securing our food supply, and preparing communities for emergencies, and bringing personal responsibility to heath care, are all monumental problems that have logical and implementable solutions. This book provides a straight forward and enjoyable approach to improving the world around us, making it clear how each of us can play a significant role in fixing those things that are broken. Better Than We Found It brings clarity to our problems and offers thoughtful solutions to fix what ails us. And, although some of these ideas carry big price tags like doubling the budget of every public school or expanding the Peace Corps to 100,000 volunteers, a surprising number cost little or nothing. Good government doesn't have to be pricey, and some ideas, like turning the Post Office into a bank for those without one, can even bring in a little revenue to our great country while improving people's lives. Other ideas such as the need to honestly assess our history and to fix the ten worst-performing states are painfully obvious, with not so obvious solutions. Some ideas, like training soldiers and aid workers together or preventing genocide by putting someone in charge of preventing it, can save thousands or even millions of lives, we just need to do our part to make it happen. Better Than We Found It will make you realize that America's problems can and will be fixed by ordinary people who care about their country. And it does not take that much time or effort. You don't need to quit your job or sell all of your possessions to make our country better than we found it, you just need to read this book and pick an issue or two that you care about.

When evangelicals make a mess, who cleans it up? Many today are discarding the evangelical label, even if they still hold to the historic tenets of evangelicalism. But evangelicalism is a space, not just a brand, and living in that space is complicated. As a lifelong evangelical who happens to be a biracial Asian/White millennial, Dan Stringer has felt both included and alienated by the evangelical community and has wrestled with whether to stay or go. He sits as an uneasy evangelical insider with ties to many of evangelicalism's historic organizations and institutions. Neither "everything's fine" nor "burn it all down," Stringer offers a thoughtful appreciation of evangelicalism's history, identity, and strengths, but also lament for its blind spots, toxic brokenness, and complicity with injustice. From this complicated space, we can move forward with informed vision rather than resignation and with hope for our future together.
