Overcoming loneliness requires intentional, countercultural changes in how we live. Galley and Smith cast a vision for how we were created to live, outline practical shifts to combat loneliness, and offer life design suggestionssmall yet meaningful changes we can make to escape aloneness, build relationships, and create community to experience the depth of connection God intends for us. With The Way Back to One Another, discover how you and your church can break away from soul-killing isolation and become catalysts of life-giving relationships and community.

El primer libro que relata la historia de este épico enfrentamiento.SON LOS DOS TITANES DE LA INDUSTRIA DEL COMIC, la Coca Cola y la Pepsi de los superhéroes, y durante más de 50 años Marvel y DC han estado enzarzadas en una epica batalla por la supremacia en el negocio del spandex. Lo que esta en juego no son solo las ventas, sino la relevancia cultural y los corazones de millones de aficionados. Para muchos devotos, Marvel esta ahora en la cima. Pero durante gran parte de principios del siglo XX, DC fue la lider indiscutible tras el lanzamiento del genero del superheroe americano con la publicacion en 1938 de la serie de Superman de Joe Shuster y Jerry Siegel. Los titulos de DC vendian millones de ejemplares cada año, y casi todos los norteamericanos estaban familiarizados con sus iconicos personajes. Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman DC los tenia todos. Y entonces, en 1961, una advenediza editorial aparecio de la nada para sacudirle un bofeton en los morros a la poderosa DC. Con la publicacion de Fantastic Four n.º 1, Marvel cambio la forma de hacer superheroes. El guionista y editor Stan Lee, el artista Jack Kirby y los talentosos miembros del Bullpen de Marvel desplegaron una serie de deslumbrantes nuevas creaciones, entre las que se incluyen Avengers, Hulk, Spider-Man, X-Men e Iron Man. El auge de Marvel dividio para siempre a los aficionados en dos tribus enfrentadas. De repente, la pregunta mas reveladora que podias plantear a un amante de los superheroes paso a ser, "¿Marvel o DC?".MARVEL VS DC, el primer libro que relata la historia de este epico enfrentamiento en una unica y detallada narracion, es la historia de la mayor rivalidad corporativa jamas contada.Con entrevistas a los nombres mas destacados de la industria, MARVEL VS DC revela el arsenal de argucias que las editoriales han utilizado en su empeño por aventajar a la competencia, ya sea robar ideas, birlar empleados, colocar espias, plagiar personajes o decretar guerras de precios. La contienda jamas ha llegado a desaparecer por completo, y hierve a fuego lento hasta el dia de hoy. En todo caso, con los personajes de DC y de Marvel convirtiendose en iconos globales valorados en millones de dolares, nunca ha habido tanto en juego.
