Written by a teenager for teenagers, This Changes Everything is a deeply theological yet practical and accessible book on how the gospel radically transforms every aspect of the teen years.

Concepito negli anni bui del nazismo, "Il giuoco delle perle di vetro" è il romanzo più vasto e ambizioso di Hermann Hesse, un libro di estrema attualità intellettuale in cui una vicenda fantastica fa da sfondo alla visione utopistica di una comunità spirituale che unisce pratica ascetica e vita attiva. Hesse riprende dunque un tema che gli è caro fin dai tempi di Siddharta : la necessità per l'uomo moderno di scendere dalle regioni dello spirito assoluto per immergersi nel flusso della vita.
