Blessed Are They That Hunger: Young Adult Fiction, America, and the Bible (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781490838342)

?Why are millions of young adults fans of the dark tale of The Hunger Games trilogy This was the question Cindy Biondi Gobrecht asked after seeing the first Hunger Games movie and reading the books. She began to research the themes in the book and how they relate to our current American culture. The themes of violence, war, injustice, oppression, loneliness, poverty, and hopelessness found in the dystopian world of The Hunger Games are problems today and a warning of more to come. Today's young adults are astute enough to understand this. Action must be taken to return America to the country it once was. What does the Bible say about the themes of The Hunger Games, and how can we apply those truths to be the change that America needs? Ms. Gobrecht answers these questions.
