Present over Perfect Audiobook by Shauna Niequist

biacuaduc@gmail.com (Shauna Niequist) — Tue, 09 Aug 2016 23:12:42 GMT

Title: Present over Perfect Subtitle: Leaving Behind Frantic for a Simpler, More Soulful Way of Living Author: Shauna Niequist Narrator: Shauna Niequist Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 44 mins Language: English Release date: 08-09-16 Publisher: Zondervan Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3153 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: In a culture that values speed, efficiency, image, and busyness, some of us are aching for another way to live: more intentional, more connected. Simpler, slower, richer. Many of us have believed the myth that achievement and success bring us contentment, only to find it's actually things like connection and meaning, not success and achievement, that provide true peace and genuine happiness. Present over Perfect is best-selling author Shauna Niequist's motto for how to live a rich, engaged, and loving life in the midst of what often feels terribly messy and imperfect. Similar in format to Shauna's previous books, Present over Perfect is a collection of essays that focuses on the journey from frantic and tired to connected and free. Many of us find ourselves busier than we want to be, missing the sweetest moments along the way. We end up resentful and distracted, full of regret and feeling disconnected. Present over Perfect is a hand reaching out to a new way of living - full of grace, space, and connection. As a wife, mother, friend, and writer, Shauna shares with vulnerability and transparency the reality of living wholly present in our relationships with our families and the others we love and inspires listeners to discover their own paths to this more fulfilling way to do life. Members Reviews: starting over right now seriously LOVED hearing the author read her own words. i felt like she was snuggled up next to me with a cup of hot coffee, compelling me to listen closely. i finished last night and am restarting this morning. it's that good. Thought provoking. This book made me re-evaluate my goals and aspirations. For that reason alone it was a good book. If I have a reservation about the book it is that not everyone can do the drastic life change she did. Some people are in a season or station in life where they do not have the option of dropping work, however, the introspection is still healthy. I would recommend this book LOVE. Absolutely loved this book. Permission to stop and breathe and just be. Shauna did a great job narrating as well! Somewhat repetitive; a lot of "I" I listened to this book straight through on a road trip. It might better be consumed a bite -- or essay -- at a time. From the beginning, I identified with so much Niequist had to say, and I've already taken many if the steps she suggests to transform my life. However, I can understand how some other reviewers couldn't identify with the lifestyle, opportunities, and choices she presents. I have friends without college degrees working minimum wage jobs to help support the family that would have a hard time relating to the author's life. On the other hand, reading the book for them could spark imagination and broaden their thinking about possibilities in their lives. On another note, the Niequist's delivery of the Audible version reminded me of Brene Brown. Brown, however, has the benefit of being able to intersperse personal anecdotes and realizations with stories from her research, so listening at length doesn't become tiresome. And she's more humorous and laid back in her delivery. Overall, a good book in smaller doses than I took. Great book!! This book spoke to me on every level. Her story could've been my story. In fact it was my story.

Anxious for Nothing Audiobook by Max Lucado

biacuaduc@gmail.com (Max Lucado) — Tue, 12 Sep 2017 21:19:32 GMT

Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/380/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Anxious for Nothing Subtitle: Finding Calm in a Chaotic World Author: Max Lucado Narrator: Ben Holland Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 34 mins Language: English Release date: 09-12-17 Publisher: Thomas Nelson Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 671 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Anxiety is at an all-time high, but there's a prescription for dealing with it. Max Lucado invites listeners into a study of Philippians 4:6-7, where the Apostle Paul admonishes the followers of Christ, "Do not be anxious about anything...." Philippians 4:6 encourages the believer to "be anxious for nothing". As Lucado states, the Apostle Paul seems to leave little leeway here. "Be anxious of nothing. Nada. Zilch. Zero." What's he suggesting? That we should literally be anxious for absolutely nothing? Lucado says, "The presence of anxiety is unavoidable, but the prison of anxiety is optional. It's the life of perpetual anxiety that Paul wants to address. Don't let anything in life leave you perpetually in angst." Americans especially know about living in perpetual anxiety. According to one research program, anxiety-related issues are the number one mental health problem among women and are second only to alcohol and drug abuse among men. Stress-related ailments cost the nation $300 billion every year in medical bills and lost productivity. And use of sedative drugs like Xanax and Valium have skyrocketed in the last 15 years. Even students are feeling it. One psychologist reports that the average high school kid today has the same level of anxiety as the average psychiatric patient in the early 1950s. "The news about our anxiety is enough to make us anxious," says Lucado. But there's a prescription for dealing with it. Lucado invites listeners into a study of Philippians 4:6-7, the most highlighted passage of any book on the planet, according to Amazon: "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." "With his help you will learn to face the calamities of life. You'll learn how to talk yourself off the ledge. Under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, you will learn to view bad news through the lens of sovereignty, to discern the lies of Satan and tell yourself the truth. You will manifest a gentleness that is evident to others. Anxiety comes with life. But it doesn't have to dominate your life." Members Reviews: great book There were so many inspirational and biblical points from this book, that I just want to post pages of the book around the house. I have been dealing with anxiety for several years and am slowly making progress with it and this book was just what I needed to keep me moving in the right direction! awesome truth for the times we are living in my husband and I were so comforted and encouraged by this book. he just got the cancer diagnosis and this was so encouraging to trust the Almighty. Max Lucado is my favorite author for years and this volume is excellent. Think about what you are thinking about! The problem is not the problem, but how you are looking at it, ask God how He sees it!!! Awesome Great book! Read it, listen to it, but most importantly head the message! God is good! Great read! The words in this book, like the words in the Bible, gives us all hope. The directions to life are the passages from the Bible. All we have to do is read the directions but sometimes we think we can handle it alone. Sometimes we are too stubborn to ask for directions.

Mere Christianity Audiobook by C.S. Lewis

biacuaduc@gmail.com (C.S. Lewis) — Tue, 13 May 2014 12:34:20 GMT

Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/380/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Mere Christianity Author: C.S. Lewis Narrator: Julian Rhind-Tutt Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 6 mins Language: English Release date: 05-13-14 Publisher: HarperAudio Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 4199 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: One of the most popular and beloved introductions to the concept of faith ever written, Mere Christianity has sold millions of copies worldwide. This audiobook brings together C. S. Lewis' legendary radio broadcasts during the war years, in which he set out simply to "explain and defend the belief that has been common to nearly all Christians at all times." Rejecting the boundaries that divide Christianity's many denominations, Mere Christianity provides an unequalled opportunity for believers and nonbelievers alike to absorb a powerful, rational case for the Christian faith. Members Reviews: Mere Christianity, complex ideas in simple terms C.S. Lewis was a Britt, so it's only fitting to have a British narrator. The content was originally intended for radio, so listening flows naturally. The chapters are short too-- 10--20 minutes. A great starter! incredible Narrator speaks at the perfect pace. Easy to understand and very powerful. A must read for everyone Christian or not Fabulous. A must read! Fabulous. A must read! This book is all "meat" and not a quick listen; the kind where you listen to a chapter or two a day and let it digest. I highly recommend it! wonderful. life-changing. eye-opening. so easy to listen and let it wash over you. so simple. so true. put into such simple terms that make complete sense. very Orthodox in it's truth Clear Christianity First off, I must give Julian Rhind-Tutt's narration five stars. It was easy to understand his words due to excellent diction. Also, when a passionate, or emphasized, word or phrase was to be told, it was delivered very well, sometimes giving goosebumps. As far as the author, I give C.S. Lewis high praise for the ease in which he explains every idea. No matter what the subject, he'll give an analogy that even the simplest of minds (like mine) will clearly understand. You'll finish listening to the sentence saying "That makes perfect sense." I was once an atheist (as Lewis was) and this inspired my purchase of the book a while ago. I did not actually read/listen to it - thinking that our different denominations would come into ply - but my pastor gave it as a side-read earlier this month. So, I dove in and I found, despite our different denominations, Lewis explained the path to salvation clearly, with the highest common sense imaginable.

Uninvited Audiobook by Lysa TerKeurst

Title: Uninvited Subtitle: Living Loved When You Feel Less Than, Left Out, and Lonely Author: Lysa TerKeurst Narrator: Ginny Welsh Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 27 mins Language: English Release date: 08-09-16 Publisher: Thomas Nelson Publishers Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2297 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: The enemy wants us to feel rejected, left out, lonely, and less than. When we allow him to speak lies through our rejection, he pickpockets our purpose. Cripples our courage. Dismantles our dreams. And blinds us to the beauty of Christ's powerful love. In Uninvited, Lysa shares her own deeply personal experiences with rejection - from the incredibly painful childhood abandonment by her father to the perceived judgment of the perfectly toned woman one elliptical over. With biblical depth, gut-honest vulnerability, and refreshing wit, Lysa helps listeners: Members Reviews: Life changing! It is hard to put into words how well this book spoke to my heart. My favorite part were the chapters on Abigail & "me too"and the one describing the importance of going through the pain, not always trying to numb it. Thank you to Lysa for sharing some of the deepest parts of her heart. This gave me renewed hope. Reflective and Realistic Loved it from chapter one to seventeen. Listened to it in two days! I am excited to hear what God is really saying rather than what I am hearing. I've longed for this type of book my entire life! Not only did I buy the book, I've listened to the audio version as well. I will definitely read, listen to, and use this book daily! I'm so happy that Lysa listened to God's voice and allowed Him to speak thru her. This book is encouraging, uplifting and most of all...in the end it makes you feel INVITED! I loved it and I'd highly recommend it. Almost every chapter, spoke directly to my heart and spoke purpose into my "real life" situations, both past and present! Once again, it is amazing! Get yours today! What A Great Book! This book jumped out at me on Amazon as I wade through a very difficult time in my life. I was so drawn to the "Living Loved When You Feel Less Than, Left Out, And Lonely" that it wasn't until around chapter three that it finally clicked that this is a book geared towards women. I didn't let that stop me from reading on. I wholeheartedly believe God directed me towards this book, and even though I am a man I can say that this is one of the best books I have ever picked up. Thank you Lysa for opening up to us and reminding me that God is good, God is good to me, and God is good at being God. Please record your own books Lysa! Would love to hear the author read the book. Loved the book, but would rather read than listen if it's not the author reading it on Audible.

I really enjoyed this book and it really impacted my life positively and challenged me in different areas of my life. I really recomend it to everyone. What was one of the most memorable moments of The Battlefield of the Mind? The most memorable point for me was the part when Joyce reffered to the Psalm 51:6 hardcore principles for changing your life forever Where does The Battlefield of the Mind rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? this book is foundational in its contents and merits What other book might you compare The Battlefield of the Mind to and why?

When Joyce talked about her husband making major changes in his life to change from a passive aggressive to an action and results oriented individual. Great book !!! Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes, definitely.

This book helped to me under stand that we are under spiritual attack and the devil wants our mind but we have to refute false teachings and anything that does not agree with the Word of God. This book gives excellent examples and scripture to back up the teaching. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? No. I think if I would've listened to this book in one sitting I would've missed something. Although this is an enjoying book, for me, it is also a teaching book. I learned a lot from this book. I even bought it for a friend and got the teenage version for my daughter.

Title: Fervent Subtitle: A Woman's Battle Plan to Serious, Specific and Strategic Prayer Author: Priscilla Shirer Narrator: Priscilla Shirer Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 25 mins Language: English Release date: 12-07-15 Publisher: christianaudio.com Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2269 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: You have an enemy...and he's dead set on destroying all you hold dear and keeping you from experiencing abundant life in Christ. What's more, his approach to disrupting your life and discrediting your faith isn't general or generic, not a one-size-fits-all. It's specific. Personalized. Targeted. So this audiobook is your chance to strike back. With prayer. With a weapon that really works. Each chapter will guide you in crafting prayer strategies that hit the enemy where it hurts, letting him know you're on to him and that you won't back down. Because with every new strategy you build, you're turning the fiercest battles of life into precise strikes against him and his handiwork, each one infused with the power of God's spirit. New York Times best-selling author Priscilla Shirer, widely known for her international speaking, teaching, and writing ministries, brings her new role from the 2015 film War Room into the real lives of today's women, addressing the topics that affect them most: renewing their passion, refocusing their identity, negotiating family strife, dealing with relentless regrets, navigating impossible schedules, succeeding against temptation, weathering their worst fears, uprooting bitterness, and more. Each chapter exposes the enemy's cruel, crafty intentions in all kinds of these areas then equips and encourages you to write out your own personalized prayer strategies on tear-out sheets you can post and pray over yourself and your loved ones on a regular basis. Fervent is a hands-on, knees-down, don't-give-up action guide to practical, purposeful praying. Members Reviews: Diving Deeper Several times while listening to this book I was driven to my knees. God met me in those moments and battled on my behalf. This is a book I wished I would have heard when I was growing up. I will definitely recommend it to other women. There are practical applications of prayer that apply to everyone, men and women alike. Thank you for listening to God's voice and writing this book. I'm sure it will continue to touch lives for years to come. It has touched mine. I'm preparing to listen to it again. I intend to buy a hard copy of the book to work through. Well worth the price to listen on audible and buy a hard copy! Excellent.... Some of my secret places revealed. I Thank God for this book. Strategy 8 in Chapter 10 was my Ah Ha moment. Don't miss this one! Loved this book -so much that we wrote questions for each chapter so we could study it in our women's bible study. Powerful, engaging, easy to apply to all areas of your life. Pricilla's reading of it on Audible brought it to life & made it personal. I highly recommend it! Love it...must read. Thank you so much. I love that you read it your self gave me a true sense of what you were telling me from your heart. Love the scriptures in the book as well. I also bought a hard copy to go back and read specific chapters. Get serious ... on your knees ...

Title: The Paradigm Subtitle: The Ancient Blueprint That Holds the Mystery of Our Times Author: Jonathan Cahn Narrator: Paul Michael Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 21 mins Language: English Release date: 11-06-17 Publisher: christianaudio.com Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 268 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: This may be the most explosive and amazing thing you've ever read Is it possible that an ancient blueprint holds the secret behind the events of our times? Could this blueprint lie behind the rise and fall of leaders and governments? Could events that took place nearly 3,000 years ago now be determining the course of our world and with it the course of our lives? Could ancient figures from the Middle East hold the key to the leaders of our own day, what they do, when they rise, and when they fall? Is it possible that this ancient paradigm has determined not only the events of modern times but also their timing - even down to the exact days and dates? Could a mystery from the ancient Middle East have foretold the outcomes of current events more accurately than any poll or expert - even the outcomes of presidential elections? Has this mystery even touched the events of your life? Does the paradigm reveal what will take place in the future? And does it contain a warning critical for every person in this generation? Prepare to be stunned, shocked, illuminated, and amazed. The Paradigm will reveal secrets and mysteries taking place all around you and show you what you never could have imagined. Jonathan Cahn, who caused an international stir with his New York Times best-selling book The Harbinger, will take you from the ancient Middle East to the news of the modern world on a journey you will never forget. As you open up The Paradigm, his most explosive book yet, you may never see your world the same way again. Members Reviews: Excellent Loved it. Keep the faith in Christ our savior. God bless Jonathan Cahn. A must read Shocking, Sobering, Hopeful, Powerful An amazing book... I now understand how America has turned into a country where wrong is now right and right is now wrong, why President Trump had to win the election, and what the future may hold. I also learned who I need to be in this day and this time in history. This is no time to be a lukewarm Christianno compromisingno resting unless I am waiting on the Lordquick to listen and quick to obey my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Loved it but mispronouncing words.... I gave 4 stars instead of 4. That's because being Jewish it's difficult to listen to the mispronunciation of Hebrew words. It made me cringe esp the names like Jehu as JeeHue. It should be pronounced Yehu. But thats typical in Christianity. I just wish they could pronounce the Hebrew correctly,especially Jonathan Kahn should know better... And there is a mistake in the beginning of the book where he talks about the kiddushim (thats the narrator pronounces it) But gives the translation as the 'holy ones'. In that case,it would be KADOSHIM Extremely insightful book. I kept wondering how he was able to see this parallel. Mindblowing I have to say. Anyway, I very much enjoyed this narrator. I sped it up to 1.25 for me it was perfect. informative This book is better than The Shmitah and almost as good as The Harbinger. Although I was very interested in the subject matter I found it to be repetitive and at times I struggled to get through. But Rabbi Cahn really showed how God was and still is in control. The revelations in this book are mind blowing. Technically the recording was excellent and the narrator was good. Breathtaking The book is not the work of a man but the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.

What you don't know about yourself can hurt you and your relationships - and maybe even how you make your way in the world. It can also keep you in the shallows with God. Do you want help figuring out who you are and why you're stuck in the same ruts? The Enneagram is an ancient personality type system with an uncanny accuracy in describing how human beings are wired, both positively and negatively.

Funny and filled with stories, this book allows you to understand more about each of the Enneagram types, keeping you from pausing long after you have heard the chapter about yourself. Beginning with changes you can start making today, the wisdom of the Enneagram can help you get on the road that will take you further along into who you really are - leading you into places of spiritual discovery you would never have found on your own, and paving the way to the wiser, more compassionate person you want to become. Members Reviews: Enneagram made simple This is a great overview book for anyone who wants to understand the knowledge of the Enneagram. The strong real life examples of each personality type put the behavioral attributes in perspective and easy to understand. Definitely worth the time to read. Great road map back to the real me. I loved how the author read his own book. He gave it real texture. Awesome! Awesome Great book and insights on who I am and how I work. Recommend it to everyone Fun, relevant and make the enneagram come alive This book make the enneagram living and relevant as a resource in our struggles to get the relationships towards our loved ones in family, church and ... yes in any friendship in our lives to succeed. Its full of faith, hope and love. Entertaining View of the Enneagram Good practical application of a tool that can be a little abstract. I liked the consistent structure and will likely refer back to the hard copy of the book.

Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus Audiobook by Nabeel Qureshi

Title: Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus Subtitle: A Devout Muslim Encounters Christianity Author: Nabeel Qureshi Narrator: Nabeel Qureshi Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 29 mins Language: English Release date: 02-11-14 Publisher: Zondervan Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 4457 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Nabeel Qureshi describes his dramatic journey from Islam to Christianity, complete with friendships, investigations, and supernatural dreams along the way. Providing an intimate window into a loving Muslim home, Qureshi shares how he developed a passion for Islam before discovering, almost against his will, evidence that Jesus rose from the dead and claimed to be God. Unable to deny the arguments but not wanting to deny his family, Qureshi's inner turmoil will challenge Christians and Muslims alike. Members Reviews: Excellent and in-depth If you could sum up Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus in three words, what would they be? Honest, Real and In-Depth What was one of the most memorable moments of Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus? The honesty of his gut-wrenching conclusions and the decisions he had to make. What about Nabeel Qureshis performance did you like? Everything. He was telling his own story, and it showed. No fakeness here. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? A film that will make you think. Any additional comments? This is a must-read or must-listen to. Goes very in-depth into both faiths, and believe me, the author did NOT want to come to the conclusion he came to... it's a fascinating and honest journey, one that took a great deal of courage to share. Good job, my brother in the Lord. EXCELLENT IN EVERY WAY - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED This is one of the best books I have listened to. I recommend it highly because: - it is brutally honest; it does not sugar coat the conversion experience He shares his journey "warts and all" - It is highly informative and educational; I learnt much about Islam - It is highly inspiring - It is well presented and enjoyable to listen to. The author is very articulate and communicates not only observable actions but also intent and feelings on his explorative journey. I was highly engaged listening to it. There were numerous times that I was teary eyed as I associated greately with Nabeel's conversion. I cannot recommend it enough. A Must Read/Listen This story is deep in meaning, and very enlightening. It is a call for Christians to better understand their faith, and to love more and deeper as it is Christ's love that leads people to Jesus. I gained a far greater understanding of Islam in a non-textbook format. There are Muslims that love others, and there are Muslims that hate others. Muslims do seek for all to join Islam as all Christians seek for all to accept Jesus as Lord and Savior in their lives. The problem is that a large group of Muslims understand their faith very well and try to attain a pure Islamic world by the sword. Thankfully, the book revolves around a Muslim family exhibiting great love. That love is pure. The parents only want the best for their children, and that is for them to be great ambassadors of the Muslim faith. Nabeel Qureshi was that ambassador and natural apologist. Mr. Qureshi was called by Jesus through a friend's introduction. The key is that Mr. Qureshi honestly and humbly sought the one and true God. At first he had no doubt that god was Allah, and then the true God revealed Himself to Mr. Qureshi. The beauty seen in this book: 1. Love is the key to bringing people to Christ Jesus. 2. Always seek God with all your heart and you will find Him. 3. You may be called to give up all you know, have, and love for Him. 3.

Title: Stronger than the Struggle Subtitle: Uncomplicating Your Spiritual Battle Author: Havilah Cunnington Narrator: Carla Mercer-Meyer Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 20 mins Language: English Release date: 01-09-18 Publisher: christianaudio.com Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 27 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Popular Bible teacher and Bethel Church pastor Havilah Cunnington reveals the truth about spiritual warfare, helping listeners discern the source of their struggles and how to do battle with good old-fashioned theology and practical tools for their everyday lives. Over the years Bible teacher and Bethel Church pastor Havilah Cunnington has talked to people across the spectrum of Christianity - from those who completely avoid mentioning the devil to those who see him lurking around every corner - and she has seen the dangers of ignoring or misrepresenting Satan's true power. Whether we talk about it or not, every follower of God is in a war against a very real enemy, one who wants to steal, kill, and destroy. In Stronger than the Struggle, Cunnington shows listeners what God's Word has to say about this issue - and what it doesn't. In a down-to-earth, let's-get-real approach, the author applies good old-fashioned theology to the tough topic of spiritual warfare and helps listeners discern whether their struggles are coming from God, themselves, or the enemy. She teaches them the right questions to ask in order to see adversity from a new perspective and helps them to create realistic battle plans to win every day. An inspiring, personal approach to spiritual warfare, Stronger than the Struggle gives listeners practical tools to thrive in the face of hardship, enabling them to put the enemy in his place and start living. Members Reviews: Power Packed Book It lives up to the title. The application of the keys found in this book will prove the power believers have access to. I loved the Empowerment Points at the end of every chapter. These are simple points that summarize each chapter. I intend to replay these often to help rewire thought processes I have in my own life that are contrary to the truth I have access to as a follower of Jesus. Havilah truly breaks down the spiritual battles we face and calls believers to act on the authority available to us. She communicates this message with a mothers heart. I can tell she loves people and wants to give all she has learned away so more people are living a vibrant, Christ-filled life. She provides any reader with strategies, based on Gods word, so we can live out a life of faith where our testimony can really be that we are stronger than any struggle we face. AWESOME GREAT words and narration!!! I was sad for it to end!! I pray many books follow this one! There were times during listening I felt the presence of God so strong it literally shocked me!! It doesnt get any better than that!!! Down to earth and REAL many Christian books on spiritual warfare tend to get over Spiritual and put so much focus on the devil. This book does it right. Focus on God Simple easy read. I started this book and just could not put it down. Cover to cover in one day. I never do that. Loved this book amazing and encouraging I loved this so much I'm going to listen to it again! this is a right now book for every person . thank you so much for encouraging us in our walk!

Rising Strong as a Spiritual Practice Audiobook by Brené Brown PhD LMSW

Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/380/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Rising Strong as a Spiritual Practice Author: Brené Brown PhD LMSW Narrator: Brené Brown Format: Original Recording Length: 3 hrs and 19 mins Language: English Release date: 06-01-17 Publisher: Sounds True Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 753 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: With her previous best sellers, Dr. Brené Brown helped us realize that vulnerability is the birthplace for trust, belonging, joy, creativity, and love. Yet a willingness to be vulnerable means accepting that life will sometimes knock us down. Where do we find the strength to get back up? In her research for her breakthrough book Rising Strong, Brené discovered a key factor. "Without exception," she says, "the concept of spirituality emerged from the data as a critical component of overcoming struggle." In Rising Strong as a Spiritual Practice, Brené offers an in-depth exploration of this critical and oft-misunderstood aspect of wholehearted living. Here she defines spirituality as something not reliant on religion, theology, or dogma - rather, it is a belief in our interconnectedness and in a loving force greater than ourselves. Whether you access the sacred through traditional worship, solitary meditation, communion with nature, or creative pursuits, one thing is clear: Rising strong after falling is a spiritual practice that brings a sense of perspective, meaning, and purpose to our lives. Members Reviews: Fabulous--But-- Pretty much everything here is what you've heard if you've already got the book "Rising Strong". Reckoning, Rumbling, Revolution. Sewer rats and scofflaws. The thing is, I got so much more from this book than I did from the actual basic book. Don't get me wrong; I liked the book, but this one seems to combine it with my favorite, "The Power of Vulnerability". I believe it's because this is a long lecture performed in front of a live audience (as opposed to a dead one? You know what I mean...) and as such, Brown is in her usual, fantastically fine form. You get all the side-stories of the venerable researcher/storyteller; you get the audience response; you get the further elucidation on various points. You get the absolute warmth and humor. Expect to learn how to rise strong on a daily basis, to rise strong from the big things that we can usually get crippled from. Grief, forgiveness, our creative and best, most divine selves. Minor down and dirty Texan language, major joy and laughter raised to the roofs. I loved this book and have already listened to it twice and expect to happily run to my therapist who is from the Brown neurobiology branch with all the points that I really want to discuss. The question and answer section at the end alone is worth the price. We're hardwired for story, our brains expect it. Learn to write your own happily-ever-after, even though it means getting up after hard knocks and skinned knees. After all, we're all just doing the best we can with what we have. Now? I have this book...! life changing this book had so many ah ha moments for me. I see my life in a much better way. helped me take my pain and grief and work through it so that I am now able to truly see and enjoy life Shot in the arm from Brene' I've followed Brene's work for a long time. This 3 her snippet helped shed light on my personal work as well as gave me insight into her other work (parenting and forgiveness) . The Q&A was spot on. If you're a fan, you won't be disappointed.

Wild at Heart Audiobook by John Eldredge

Title: Wild at Heart Subtitle: Discovering the Secret of a Man's Soul Author: John Eldredge Narrator: John Eldredge Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 48 mins Language: English Release date: 06-04-04 Publisher: Oasis Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2149 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: But what happens to those dreams when we grow up? Walk into most churches, have a look around, and ask yourself: What is a Christian man? Without listening to what is said, look at what you find there. Most Christian men are...bored. In Wild at Heart, John Eldredge invites men to recover their masculine heart, defined in the image of a passionate God. And he invites women to discover the secret of a man's soul and to delight in the strength and wildness men were created to offer. Critic Reviews: "The exceptional writing and ideational balance (and a sensitive interpretation by Kelly Dolan) make this a compelling effort to integrate the hero's gritty nature with the public good." (AudioFile) Members Reviews: Healing & Understanding Wild at Heart was dropped into my hand at a time of personal crisis. My life was upside down and inside out. Having walked with the Lord for 27 years I had answers to many of the questions that we, as men, ask oursevles. Yet some of the most important questions had gone unanswered or worse were never really asked. John carefully and successfully opened up my heart as no other man has (excpet Jesus) and delivered Healing, Understanding and Passion. His writing style is personal and easy. I highly recommend Wild at Heart. Good enough to listen to again! My husband and I both loved this book, we listened to it more than once. It helped us to understand the basis for the core differences between man and woman, and why we need each other. It helped me to understand the vulnerabilities my husband has, even though he tries hard to hide them. A must read for any christian man Just when you think you're a man & that life is good...this read (or listen) brings you down to reality and let's you know you are far from being a "man of God." Perhaps if you're reading this, your marraige isn't the same as it was during that first year. Perhaps adding your own children into the mix has changed many of the reasons you married in the first place. Find out what truly makes you tick and empty that closet of all the cobwebs. Perhaps, rediscover your marriage and learn how to be a man of God! It may be one of many ways to prevent the generational pass down of poor fatherhood...or at least the realization of it. Wild at Heart Fabulous!! Eldredge hits a Home Run with this crucial work. Any of us who have struggled with what society has tried to force us to do and not asked us or allowed us to be the man God intended us to be, needs to read this awesome work. This book is timeless and will continute to help men return to the strong physical, spiritual and emotional leaders God created them to be. WOW All I can say is WOW and I wish I had known some of these things before we had our 3 sons! This is a book for everyone! No nonsense and right in line with the scriptures. Read and be blessed!

Killing Kryptonite Audiobook by John Bevere

Title: Killing Kryptonite Subtitle: Destroy What Steals Your Strength Author: John Bevere Narrator: John Bevere Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 54 mins Language: English Release date: 10-19-17 Publisher: Oasis Audio Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 181 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Just like Superman, who can leap over any hurdle and defeat every foe, followers of Christ have the supernatural ability to conquer the challenges we face. But the problem for both Superman and us is there's a kryptonite that steals our strength. Of course, both Superman and kryptonite are fictional. But spiritual kryptonite is not. This book offers answers to why so many people - and the churches they attend - are unable to experience the divine strength that was evident among the first-century Christians. In Killing Kryptonite, John Bevere reveals what this kryptonite is, why it's compromising our churches, and how to break free from its bondage. Not for the faint of heart, Killing Kryptonite is anything but a spiritual sugar high. This is serious truth for any Christ-follower who longs to embrace the challenging but rewarding path of transformation. Members Reviews: steak not milk took me 2 weeks to listen , there was a lot of things to ponder on. had to pray a lot, had to get out my comfort zone. But it does NOT fail me, Lord please continually to give John the light to share with us. really enjoyed this book thank you

Evidence That Demands a Verdict Audiobook by Josh McDowell, Sean McDowell PhD

Title: Evidence That Demands a Verdict Subtitle: Life-Changing Truth for a Skeptical World Author: Josh McDowell, Sean McDowell PhD Narrator: Bob Souer, Sean McDowell PhD, Josh McDowell Format: Unabridged Length: 42 hrs and 37 mins Language: English Release date: 10-03-17 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 38 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: The modern apologetics classic that started it all is now completely revised and updated - because the truth of the Bible doesn't change, but its critics do. With the original Evidence That Demands a Verdict, best-selling author Josh McDowell gave Christian audiences the answers they needed to defend their faith against the harshest critics and skeptics. Since that time, Evidence has remained a trusted resource for believers young and old. Bringing historical documentation and the best modern scholarship to bear on the trustworthiness of the Bible and its teachings, this extensive volume has encouraged and strengthened millions. Now, with his son Sean McDowell, Josh McDowell has updated and expanded this classic resource for a new generation. This is a book that invites listeners to bring their doubts and doesn't shy away from the tough questions. Members Reviews: Lexicons aren't best suited for Audible At least there's heaps of chapters in here, so it's somewhat easy to navigate, but this book is definitely best suited for having in print. Lists of Bible references, references to other chapters and the general layout seems to be designed as a resource to look up, when in need. The general flow is what separates the book from a lexicon, because there's a storyline, a progression, instead of a list. I was negative to the title before finishing it, because of the cheesy title, but it turned out to be a very serious book, self-aware and strong. I love that they often do not overstate the case, and rather leave the case open, and that they even encourage to read criticism of their own book. That's a healthy way to go forward. The material in itself is simply very good. A gift of God My review title is not an overstatement. As an Apologist myself, I have been in dialogue, recently, with the atheist community. As a result, I compiled a list of "hot" issues to research. Low and behold, this new revision of ETDV contains exactly the list of topics I compiled! The Lord is listening to the questions and doubts of unbelievers and is calling His people to respond with the answers 1 Peter 3:15. This truly amazes me! God still honors the "Doubting Thomas" and offers them a touch of the evidence that truly demands a positive verdict. loved it I will of course have to revisit this one as a later date. too much info at one time. A gold mine of christian apologetics The revised version is great as it adapts to modern society. It is worth listening too. The only thing that i found that needs attention is that the chapters have no titles to guide you. great document that arms believers against the ske plan to listen multiple times to get the most out of it because of the fact that this book is full of relevant information for our times.

Rejection. Addiction. Anger. Comfort...must fall. It's likely you have a threatening giant in your life...an adversary or stronghold that's diminishing your ability to live a full and free life. Frozen in the grip of rejection, fear, anger, comfort, or addiction, we lose sight of the promise God has for our lives. Demoralized and defeated, we settle for far less than his best. God has a better plan for you, a plan for you to live in victory. That's why he has silenced your giant once and for all. In Goliath Must Fall, pastor Louie Giglio uncovers a newfound twist in the classic story of David and Goliath. The key to living free from our giants is not better slingshot accuracy but keeping our eyes on the one and only giant-slayer - Jesus. Put your hope in him, and watch Goliath fall. Members Reviews: Encouraged I appreciates the book and the support that Louie brings me to o facing and winning the battle against the giants. Even though Louie didn't read most of the book, the other reader was good. So applicable and so true!! A must read The truth and content of this book is simple yet extremely profound.

I Am Number 8 Audiobook by John Gray, Joel Osteen - foreword

Title: I Am Number 8 Subtitle: Overlooked and Undervalued, but Not Forgotten by God Author: John Gray, Joel Osteen - foreword Narrator: John Gray Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 31 mins Language: English Release date: 04-18-17 Publisher: Hachette Audio Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 631 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: If God can take David - the invisible eighth son of a forgotten family - and turn him into a king, just imagine what magnificent plans he has for redeeming your life. David was born a number eight - a hidden gem, often overlooked and undervalued by everyone except for God. For David, being a number eight seemed like a curse until the day God transformed him from the unknown eighth son of Jesse into the much-honored king of Israel. When God sends out an invitation to greatness, his directions don't always make sense to us. You may feel like the most invisible, broken number eight out there, but God sees your hidden value and is growing you for better things. David didn't know it, but his time as a simple shepherd with a dull future did not go unnoticed by God. In David's darkest moments, he was cultivating the kind of gifts, wisdom, and leadership he would need to become a king. Even when you're an underdog in the eyes of the world, God is working behind the scenes to develop you into a king or queen. Members Reviews: Amazing read! I couldn't put it down. John Gray's practical approach to life's lessons was illuminating, and encouraging. I enjoyed this book in its entirety. Answers to many questions This was such a profound book for me because it answered questions that I had resolved to just trust God with the answers. I have such a better understanding of how much my childhood was a blessing for me. Why I have this heart that I have, why I have had to travel this, sometimes, treacherous journey. The regrets are much less; in fact, my entire perspective changed: 8 is great! Awesome Message! I am so glad that Pastor John Gray read his book. Awesome book to read. Amazing and Inspirational Book! I will definitely listen to this book again! I haven't experienced a book this touching and practical in a long time. Will be buying the hard copy too for recording the questions at the end. Outstanding and me to the "T" I dont even know where to start. Basically the content, and pretty much the whole entire concept of John's book, related to me without missing a beat. I loved the delivery of; the comedy, the history, the biblical analogies (mainly relating to David), the intermost personal secrets that were divulged, and many other things that really made this one outstanding read (or listen in this case). In short, for someone like me, listening to this book was one true analgesic to my life's pains and uncertainties. Thank you for this, Sir John Gray. You have really turned on some lights in this Number 8's mind. May God continue to bless you, profusely! I will, and already have, continue to recommend this book to many.

Its a mechanism whereby God accomplishes great things in us. Do you ever sense that theres far more to prayer, and to Gods vision for your life, than what youre experiencing? Its time you learned from the legend of Honi the Circle Maker - a man bold enough to draw a circle in the sand and not budge from inside it until God answered his prayers for his people. What impossibly big dream is God calling you to draw a prayer circle around? Sharing inspiring stories from his own experiences as a circle maker, Mark Batterson will help you uncover your hearts deepest desires and God-given dreams and unleash them through the kind of audacious prayer that God delights to answer. Members Reviews: This has changed my prayer life. What did you love best about The Circle Maker? The author is very expressive and encouraging in detailing how to pray and how to have a better relationship with the Lord. Praying takes time and when we pray, the Lord blesses us with fellowship and answers our prayers. Maybe not always like we want them, but we have hope for even more than we could think to ask for. What did you like best about this story? I love Marks description of how much God loves us and wants to bless us more than what we could even ask for. The best line in the book that will stay with me forever is "work like it depends on me and pray like it depends on God". I can and will work hard, but ultimately, it all depends on God working out every detail for His glory. Have you listened to any of Mark Battersons other performances before? How does this one compare? No, this is the first book of his I have read. I have gifted this book to three other people since I've listened to it twice myself. Each has been totally blessed. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? It made my heart have hope, hope for more from God. Hope that He wants to give me His blessings for my life. Outstanding in every respect! What did you love best about The Circle Maker? Great stories, excellent narration and thought provoking ideas and suggestions. What did you like best about this story? Multiple stories were of great interest and worth sharing with others. Have you listened to any of Mark Battersons other performances before? How does this one compare? First time listening to anything by Mark. Very good! Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes. At no point in the recording did either the story or narrator lose my full interest. Any additional comments? I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the subject of prayer, faith or one's purpose in life. Very inspiring work. Very Challenging and Faith Building Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? YesThis book will challenge you to pray with faith, pray big, and pray with perseverance! The focus is on God who loves you and is for you, and will give you answers to prayer greater than you pray for. What was one of the most memorable moments of The Circle Maker? The story of getting the theater in Barracks Row Any additional comments? It will be hard to put it down once you start Great book! Easy to follow and great content.

Mere Christianity Audiobook by C.S. Lewis

Lewis Narrator: Geoffrey Howard Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 52 mins Language: English Release date: 05-10-05 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 4387 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Mere Christianity is C.S. Lewis' forceful and accessible doctrine of Christian belief. First heard as informal radio broadcasts and then published as three separate books, The Case for Christianity, Christian Behavior, and Beyond Personality, Mere Christianity brings together what Lewis sees as the fundamental truths of the religion. Rejecting the boundaries that divide Christianity's many denominations, C.S. Lewis finds a common ground on which all those who have Christian faith can stand together, proving that "at the center of each there is something, or a Someone, who against all divergences of belief, all differences of temperament, all memories of mutual persecution, speaks with the same voice". ©1942 C. S. Lewis Pte. Ltd.; (P)2000 Blackstone Audiobooks Critic Reviews: "Geoffrey Howard's performance is superb; he is clear and unhurried, giving just the right emphasis and/or inflection....Whether or not one agrees with Lewis's arguments, it is a pleasure to hear such a skillful reading of an eloquent work." (Library Journal) Members Reviews: A Classic That Gets Better & Better With Time! This is probably my favorite book of all time. Lewis' straightforward logic on basic questions such as "How do we know there is a God?" and "What is God Like?" are still fresh and insightful more than half a century after they were written. Some of this book's great strengths are the lack of religious jargon and simplistic explanations as well as the freedom of sectarian denominational bias. I have read this book multiple times (in addition to listening to this audiobook) and always glean something new from it. It is no coincidence that in Ken Hughes' survey of great 20th Century Christian Leaders, when he asked "Other than the Bible, what book has influenced you the most" - the #1 choice was "Mere Christianity". Yes, that's correct - it was selected above such classics as Calvin's "Institutes of the Christian Religion", Tozer's "The Pursuit of God" and "My Utmost for His Highest" by Oswald Chambers. It is also the book that convinced Charles Colson of the reality of God and changed his life during the Watergate years. If you are new to reading philosophy or theology that is deeper than the constant pop-theology of the month books, you may want to take it slow and ponder (even re-listen to) the chapters - the slow rumination will help with the depth of thought that abounds in this book. Many do not know that Lewis is one of the best selling authors of all time - this book is a great example of why this is true! Whether you are an athiest, a Christian, or of any other religious persuasion, this book is full of great concepts to consider. If you've done much reading, you'll notice numerous passages that often appear as quotes in other books. One of the few Christian books that deserves the title "Classic"! As with most (or all) Blackstone Audiobooks - the narration is SUPERB! A MUST HEAR!!!!! Next to the Bible itself, this book has had the most impact on my life. It is a treasure, and not to be missed. Book for Christian Growth I began listening expecting a book that provides a defense for Christianity, which is what I had been told.

Subtitle: How an Ancient Library of Poems, Letters, and Stories Can Transform the Way You Think and Feel About Everything Author: Rob Bell Narrator: Rob Bell Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 23 mins Language: English Release date: 05-16-17 Publisher: Harper Audio Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 993 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Rob Bell, the beloved author of Love Wins and What We Talk About When We Talk About God, goes deep into the Bible to show how it is more revelatory, revolutionary, and relevant than we ever imagined - and offers a cogent argument for why we need to look at it in a fresh, new way. In Love Wins, Rob Bell confronted the troubling questions that many people of faith are afraid to ask about heaven, hell, fate, and faith. Using the same inspired, inquisitive approach, he now turns to our most sacred book: the Bible. What Is the Bible? provides insights and answers that make clear why the Bible is so revered and what makes it truly inspiring and essential to our lives. Rob takes us deep into actual passages to reveal the humanity behind the Scriptures. You cannot get to the holy without going through the human, Rob tells us. When considering a passage, we shouldn't ask, "Why did God say...?" To get to the heart of the Bible's meaning, we should be asking, "What's the story that's unfolding here, and why did people find it important to tell it? What was it that moved them to record these words? What was happening in the world at that time? What does this passage/story/poem/verse/book tell us about how people understood who they were and who God was at that time?" In asking these questions, Rob goes beyond the one-dimensional question of "is it true?" to reveal the Bible's authentic transformative power. Rob addresses the concerns of all those who see the Bible as God's word but are troubled by the ethical dilemmas, errors, and inconsistencies in Scripture. With What Is the Bible?, he recaptures the good book's magic and reaffirms its power and inspiration to shape and inspire our lives today. Members Reviews: Wonderful I am not a religious woman. I'm so grateful for the spiritual and historical unfolding, the playfulness and lofty scope of What Is the Bible. I could connect to something that lies deep within, to stories that didn't add up, stories I could never quite harness a half-decent answer to. This created a space where I could enjoy and also reflect on my own flaws and strengths. And Robs passion and experience shines all the way through. Once you see, you can't unsee... This book is so eye opening to a different way to understand the Bible. I will never be able to hear or read the Bible the same way again after listening to Rob Bell's book. This book presents the Bible as a book about humanity and is for anyone who is human regardless of religious views. Wonderful Rob's books are all great! I don't agree with everything he says in all of them, but I don't have to. They are truly great and insightful. I learn new things in each one. Beautifully done, highly recommend Loved every word of this book and couldn't stop listening!! Rob Bell once again so eloquently describes so many complex ideas and questions that I've always struggled with in the Bible. Thank you for this book, it will most certainly transform my daily scripture readings! The rest of the story? This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? Those aligning themselves with "Progressive Christianity". What was most disappointing about Rob Bells story? Rob was very selective and not objective in his content.

Title: Sacred Marriage Subtitle: What If God Designed Marriage to Make Us Holy More Than to Make Us Happy? Author: Gary Thomas Narrator: Gary Thomas Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 43 mins Language: English Release date: 08-09-16 Publisher: Zondervan Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 318 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Happy is good. Holy is better. Your marriage is more than a sacred covenant with another person. It is a spiritual discipline designed to help you know God better, trust him more fully, and love him more deeply. What if God's primary intent for your marriage isn't to make you happy...but holy? Sacred Marriage doesn't just offer techniques to make a marriage happier. It does contain practical tools, but what married Christians most need is help in becoming holier husbands and wives. Sacred Marriage offers that help with insights from Scripture, church history, time-tested wisdom from Christian classics, and examples from today's marriages. Sacred Marriage reveals how marriage trains us to love God and others well, how it exposes sin and makes us more aware of God's presence, how good marriages foster good prayer, how married sex feeds the spiritual life, and more. The revised edition of Sacred Marriage takes into account the ways men's and women's roles have expanded since the book was first written. It has been streamlined to be a faster listen without losing the depth that so many listeners have valued. Sacred Marriage uncovers the mystery of God's overarching purpose. This book may very well alter profoundly the contours of your marriage. It will most certainly change you. Because whether it is delightful or difficult, your marriage can become a doorway to a closer walk with God and to a spiritual integrity that, like salt, seasons the world around you with the savor of Christ. Members Reviews: Just what we need This is just the book we need in our marriage right now. Such a great eye opener to how our marriage is meant to serve God and bring us closer to him. The author has such a great cadence to his voice and is truly enjoyable to listen to. A permanent part of my library I've read many of the comments prior to purchasing this audiobook and chose to purchase it. I listened 4 time already and while going through it myself, I found was the information was timeless, relevant and applicable in very practical terms in order to navigate the journey of marriage. marriage must.l read Must read ,have to apply . if you allow the love in this book change your marriage to change you great things are on their way for your relationship. Not just for the married couples It is important for us to begin to look at marriage from God's perspective. Marriage is to make us holy. I believe that there need to be more groups for singles so that the preparation and maturing can begin long before the engagement and subsequent vows being exchanged. There would be fewer marriages with fantasy expectations and but fewer divorces for "irreconcilable differences". Good Any additional comments? Audiobook review: It is nice when authors narrate their own work, and this author does a very nice job. The central idea here, listed on the front of the book, cannot be overstated. The author clearly explains and illustrates the idea in the first half of the book, and once that is done the book trails off into "typical marriage book" themes (in my opinion). Totally worth the read/listen for the first half, though.

Knowing God Audiobook by J. I. Packer

biacuaduc@gmail.com (J. I. Packer) — Thu, 03 Mar 2011 09:01:24 GMT

Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/380/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Knowing God Author: J. I. Packer Narrator: Simon Vance Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 3 mins Language: English Release date: 03-03-11 Publisher: christianaudio.com Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 734 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: A lifelong pursuit of knowing God should embody the Christian's existence. According to eminent theologian J.I. Packer, however, Christians have become enchanted by modern skepticism and have joined the "gigantic conspiracy of misdirection" by failing to put first things first. Knowing God aims to redirect our attention to the simple, deep truth that to know God is to love His Word. What began as a number of consecutive articles angled for "honest, no-nonsense readers who were fed up with facile Christian verbiage" in 1973, Knowing God has become a contemporary classic by creating "small studies out of great subjects." Each chapter is so specific in focus (covering topics such as the trinity, election, God's wrath, and God's sovereignty), that each succeeding chapter's theology seems to rival the next, until one's mind is so expanded that one's entire view of God has changed. Author Elizabeth Eliot wrote that amid the lofty content, Packer "puts the hay where the sheep can reach it - plainly shows us ordinary folks what it means to know God." Having rescued us from the individual hunches of our ultra-tolerant theological age, Packer points the listener to the true character of God with his theological competence and compassionate heart. The lazy and faint-hearted should be warned about this timeless work - God is magnified, the sinner is humbled, and the saint encouraged. Members Reviews: Deep and full this book is. I enjoyed and was edified by it. A slight Calvinistic bent. Very well thought out and presented. Incredible!!! Incredible insight and understanding...J I Packer has a way of explaining things so that they are easier to digest, understand and comprehend. This is a MUST read...I'll be reading (listening) to this one again and again for many years to come! Exceptional Book Great reading for all Christians at whatever level. - I recommend it highly. I will read it again in the future. It's that good. Excellent Theology -- I have minor disagreements Packer is very thought-provoking. He and I disagree on some minor theological issues. Packer is a Calvinist, and I am not. However, just because we disagree with an individual on something doesn't mean we can't learn from him/her. In this book I learned many excellent things. Packer and I most certainly disagree on symbols of the cross and pictorial representations of Christ as being equivalent to idolatry (he devotes a full chapter to this idea). However, I believe he provides a great deal of insight on the many other topics covered. Ultimately, you have to decide what is biblically sound vs what is the opinion of an individual. So if you find something you disagree with in this book, go to the true source -- the Bible. Test what is said and trust the Holy Spirit in your guidance. Very deep theology Where does Knowing God rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? It ranks near the top. What other book might you compare Knowing God to and why? Experiencing God by Henry Blackaby and Claude King is similar because it is primarily an examination of God's holiness. Which scene was your favorite? The discussion of the concept of adoption really spoke to me. I don't tend to think in terms of being an "adopted member of the family" in my Christian walk.

The Cost of Discipleship Audiobook by Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Title: The Cost of Discipleship Author: Dietrich Bonhoeffer Narrator: Paul Michael Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs Language: English Release date: 03-31-09 Publisher: christianaudio.com Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 918 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: The Cost of Discipleship is a compelling statement of the demands of sacrifice and ethical consistency from a man whose life and thought were exemplary articulations of a new type of leadership inspired by the Gospel, and imbued with the spirit of Christian humanism and a creative sense of civic duty. Members Reviews: Get this book Wow! Bonhoeffer presents very practical, insightful and challenging ideas. I have a BA in Theology and am working on two Masters Degrees, and I have not encountered an analysis of church history and Christ's teachings like this before. Get this book; you won't be listening just once! Excellent Book If you could sum up The Cost of Discipleship in three words, what would they be? profound, needed, the truth What did you like best about this story? Bonhoeffer reviews how Christianity got to where it was when he lived in the 1930s, and shows how it was reduced to only a creed. Which scene was your favorite? This is a doctrinal book. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? No. It is too weighty. Any additional comments? It is just as relevant today as it was in Hitler's Germany. This should be required reading for anyone who professes to be a Christian. great look at the beatitudes really good book.. covers the sermon on the mount in another light.. definitely reccommend for bible study. enlightening this is an excellent book, well written, well read. it is worth every second of your time. I thought it was going to be slow paced but in the end... well done Excellent Content - Not the best format This is very good, but too deep for the audio format. I felt like I was drinking fine cognac from a fire hose - simply the wrong media for the content. If you have read the book before, this might be a good way to revisit it. Otherwise I'd suggest buying the book instead. Still, the narration is very good and the content is wonderful, so I gave it a four.

How's Your Soul? Audiobook by Judah Smith

Subtitle: Why Everything You Want in Life Starts with the Inside You Author: Judah Smith Narrator: Judah Smith Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 10 mins Language: English Release date: 11-15-16 Publisher: Thomas Nelson Publishers Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 399 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Judah Smith, New York Times best-selling author of Jesus Is ______, explores what it looks like to cultivate a healthy soul in the midst of a busy life and points listeners to the soul's only true home and place of rest and fulfillment: God. "How's your soul?" Instead of a perfunctory "how are you?", Judah Smith asks people this surprising question, because he knows that the health of the soul - the deepest part of ourselves - is overlooked in the busyness of everyday life. But the truth is, all the things people most desire in life - stability, peace, hope, love - are rooted in the health of their souls, and they need an intentional daily journey to manage it well. In How's Your Soul?, Judah explores the various facets and needs of the inner person, showing listeners how to cultivate healthy souls and leading them to the discovery that ultimately their souls are fully home - in a state of internal wellness, fulfillment, and completeness - only when they look to God, trust God, and rest in God. Members Reviews: Couldn't stop laughing! I completed this audiobook in a day because it kept me engaged with laughter. Just what I needed to hear to uplift me and encourage me to keep walking the walk. Loved that it's read by the author. His sense of humor along with the way he used his personal story life examples to tie into biblical points made it relatable and very much enjoyable to listen to. A timely read I had just shared with some friends that my rhythm felt off, due to many recent hardships. After reading Judah's words and the hope they represented, I have a fresh sense of purpose and direction. Life is much bigger than living for the sake of doing and having, but of being connected to Christ. love it absolutely love it!!!!! So inspirational and an eye opener! I will defenetly recommend it to every one I know! Surrender and surround I love Judah's thoughtfulness and transparency. I got so much out of this book, but the part I will remember is surrendering to God and surrounding yourself with the right people. I also love what he says at the end. I've heard it so many times and it continually blows my mind and grounds me. As Christians we are going to live for an eternity, we may as live like it and make decisions based off that fact! A hint of prosperity thinking to young believers I am writing this review as a way to clarify thoughts about my own faith as well as out of a desire to help readers set this book in context. Like the author, I believe that I am on a spiritual journey and this review reflects my thinking at this point in time. The review is simply an attempt to be thoughtful about this book. To give context to my perspective, I am an American living overseas among a people whose culture is quite dissimilar to that of American Christianity. I am a Christian but, unlike the author, I did not grow up in a Christian family. Intended Audience: New believers, particularly Millenial-ish Americans as well as people who struggle with spiritual inadequacy. The author also addresses non-believers at the beginning of the book and at a couple of points later in the book, but I believe that there are too many U.S. Christian cultural assumptions and jargon in the text to appeal much to non-believers.

The Great Divorce Audiobook by C. S. Lewis

biacuaduc@gmail.com (C. S. Lewis) — Tue, 13 May 2014 21:24:51 GMT

Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/380/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Great Divorce Author: C. S. Lewis Narrator: Julian Rhind-Tutt Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 22 mins Language: English Release date: 05-13-14 Publisher: HarperAudio Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1550 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: C. S. Lewis' dazzling allegory about Heaven and Hell - and the chasm fixed between them - is one of his most brilliantly imaginative tales, where we discover that the gates of Hell are locked from the inside. In a dream, the narrator boards a bus on a drizzly afternoon in Hell and embarks on an incredible voyage to Heaven. Anyone in Hell is invited on board, and anyone may remain in Heaven if he or she so chooses. But do we really want to live in Heaven? This powerful, exquisitely written fantasy is one of C. S. Lewis's most enduring works of fiction and a profound meditation on good and evil and on what God really offers us. Members Reviews: Wow! What did you love best about The Great Divorce? This is an intersting take on why people choose not to believe or what in their psyche prevents them from being able to believe. What other book might you compare The Great Divorce to and why? This one stands on its own. Which scene was your favorite? The scene with the selfish mother who distorts something as beautiful as love for her son into something evil. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? When the lizard was destroyed, the description of the awakening was amazing! Any additional comments? I've read this book 3 times now. It's truly amazing. My Favorite CS Lewis Work The Great Divorce is a short novel about heaven and hell. It is not meant as a theological work, but rather a tale of a dream. Still, it is a masterpiece of irony, perception and of human folly. I listened to it in a sitting, and relistened again. Suppose those souls in hell are free to leave at anytime? After spending many years in the torment of hell, will they freely choose to abandon that existance for an eternity of joy and bliss? Apparently most would indeed choose hell. Even when they have loved ones from heaven seek patiently and tirelessly to help them leave hell, they choose misery. In the past year I have lost two loved ones. The Great Divorce is more than a great comffort, it inspires me to view life with a different perspective. Excellent Of the 100 or so titles I have heard on Audible, this production of The Great Divorce is one of the best. The narration was superb with pleasant pace, tone, and diction. Mr. Rhind-Tutt masterfully spoke for the many characters, each with their own distinct voice. C.S. Lewis is a wonderful author and this is one of his most beautiful stories. Loved this book Listened to this all the way through. Absolutely beautiful portrayal of our inability to let go of this world. Made me swallow hard and think harder. One to pass on through the ages. didn't like the narrator personally not a fan of the narration. it's a bit hard to listen to as a result.

I want to keep fresh what I have learned and see if there is anything I missed the first time. What did you like best about this story? I could feel the annointing throughout the whole book. What about John Beveres performance did you like? sensitive to Gods voice Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? the whole book did, but the portion of when you justify your actions because you have been offended. when we do something, even though the bible backs us up... with what spirit, cause or reason am I doing it? vengence is mine says the lord...

Crash the Chatterbox Audiobook by Steven Furtick

Title: Crash the Chatterbox Subtitle: Hearing God's Voice Above All Others Author: Steven Furtick Narrator: Steven Furtick Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 32 mins Language: English Release date: 04-10-14 Publisher: Elevation Church Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1194 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Crashing the chatterbox = Overpowering lies of insecurity, fear, condemnation, and discouragement with the promises of God. I used to think that someone who struggled with the kinds of weaknesses I deal with daily was useless to God. I felt so often like I was drowning in internal dialogue I couldnt control. It had been the soundtrack of my life for as long as I could remember. Yet everything changed when I began to realize God has given us the ability to choose the dialogue we believe and respond to. And once we learn how, we can switch from lies to truth as deliberately as we can choose the Beatles over Miley Cyrus on satellite radio. This is the key to pressing ahead and doing Gods will anyway, even as you are bombarded with thoughts, feelings, and even facts about why you cant do it. Members Reviews: Life changing! The Chatterbox Series has helped me more than I can say in deciphering God's voice from Satan's. I have now come to realize how much Satan dominates my thoughts and how I need to be still and silent and listen to hear God's voice. Please keep up the amazing work God has placed on your heart Stephen. Sincerely Dr. Cameron Campbell Little voice in my mind be quite. If you could sum up Crash the Chatterbox in three words, what would they be? What a positive book to help build a person confidence up and keep the little voice of distractions and put down away. Love how if focus on the love that Christ Jesus has for each of us. What about Steven Furticks performance did you like? Easy to understand clear speaking voice. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? It made me feel great and uplifted. You are an awesome pastor I wish I lived closer This is great information thank you so much for publishing the book please continue the great work for God Came to me at the right time I picked this audio book by the title not really knowing what it was about. Once I started listening I couldn't stop. This came to me at exactly the time I needed it. Struggles with children with family with work. It just makes sense, thank you so much Steven for sharing your thoughts and wisdom, God bless! Life Changing Steven Furtick's book, Crash the Chatterbox, has been an incredibly powerful book that has helped me though the year of 2015. It's been a difficult year for me (suffering with Anxiety and Depression through Bible College on the other side of the world without family by my side) but this book has been such an encouragement for me with such practical tools to over come the Chatterbox. I feel like a new person with a bigger fighting power within me to Crash the Chatterbox. It was particularly awesome to listen to it on Audible as I'm not a quick reader so I was able to listen to Steven read the book to me which made his stories feel so much real. I would highly recommend this book to everyone I know.

Jakes Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 6 mins Language: English Release date: 08-04-15 Publisher: Hachette Audio Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1401 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Number-one New York Times best-selling author T. D. Jakes teaches listeners to find order in the steps of life and have the courage to say yes to destiny. We each have a destiny. Finding the courage to drive past the challenges, the pains, and even the shortcuts of life to the deeper purpose of living is to thrive in one's divine destiny. Most people have sensed destiny pulling them to just the right place or person. Whether it is the spouse you meet, the children you bear, or the promotion you receive, everyone has a purpose to pursue. Sometimes it is understanding our destiny that helps us accept what on the surface appears to be failure. In Destiny, T. D. Jakes shares insight to help listeners play the roles they were designed for. Expanding on his number-one best seller Instinct, Jakes reveals that instinct is the first step to the destiny that awaits. Members Reviews: A Word in Due Season I liked how God spoke to me through the man TD Jakes. I expected more scripture, but when you know God's word, you know what is of God and scripture is not always necessary. TD Jakes simply has the voice for audio anything. I recommend this book for anyone seeking God's direction. Destiny takes time!!!!! Encouraged to continue on the Path God has for me. Trusting God through the process and application of practical principles introduced by this book. Great read!! Helped me see myself in another light. This book is a must read if you want to move towards who God created you to be. It gives helpful insight and revelation that will propel you forward in purpose. This was like talking with The Lord! This body of work written and read by Bishop TDJakes was truly divinely destined by God. As I listened it was as if I had open my car and house doors and Jesus and I sat and enjoyed a cup of coffee while he shared all my inner most thoughts, desires, dreams and yes fears. Thank you Mr. TDJAKES for being obedient to the voice of the Holy Spirit while preparing this work. It has truly moved me into a higher level of expectations with a blueprint for recognizing and creating the environment for Destiny to enter my life. Tammarra from New Jersey A must read for all!!! 5 stars This book has opened my eyes and has given me the faith that I needed to move forward with my life. Not knowing if you are fulfilling your purpose can weigh heavily on your mind everyday but from this novel, I am inspired to make the necessary steps and sacrifices to move into my DESTINY! I definitely recommend this book and all of T.D. Jakes' other pieces of literature as they will help you with the many struggles you may be facing in your life.

The rise of these secular gods presents the most serious challenge to the absolute claims of Christ since the founding of Christianity itself. The Christian worldview has not only been devalued and dismissed by modern culture, but its believers are openly ridiculed as irrelevant. In Jesus Among Secular Gods, Ravi Zacharias and Vince Vitale challenge the popular "isms" of the day, skillfully pointing out the fallacies in their claims and presenting compelling evidence for revealed absolute truth as found in Jesus. This book is fresh, insightful, and important, and faces head on today's most urgent challenges to Christian faith. It will help seekers to explore the claims of Christ and will provide Christians with the knowledge to articulate why they believe that Jesus stands tall above all other gods. Members Reviews: Terrific Book that illumines the Love of God . This book reveals the greatness of God's love and the distinct difference of the Christian belief. Is truth dead? No not at all. He is risen and most assuredly alive. TRUTH It's pretty heavy material, yet very inspirational. I will be listening to it more to gain a more complete understanding. Impactful-presented in a scholarly way I really enjoyed the book. At times it makes it a little difficult to stay focused because it is presented as educational arguments for the faith. They are clearly presented and I enjoyed listening to their positions. It's great to memorize some points and share what we learned with others who are questioning. Another great book This is another great book. Probably one of his best. Best read with a box of tissues. Affirming the truth I highly recommend this book to anyone, but especially if you are a "thinker". It thoroughly uncovers many of the reasons for and against God, relating the arguments to past and present contradicting and affirming arguments. it exposed me to new ways of viewing truth, and thus valuing it. It is a heavy read if you are unfamiliar with philosophical language, popular worldviews, and argumentative writing style; but we'll worth it.

Not realizing that I could be stopping myself from being with him or that I need to prepare and position myself to meet him. Lots of great insight as what I should do now after getting out of an abusive relationship.

The book has good practical advice for a Christian female waiting on true love. This book gave me a new understanding on the disadvantages of a single woman in the church. For example, if I'm a man with a full time job, in good health, no kids, a home owner, and ready for marriage, it would probably happen in 3 months. The same can not be said if I was a Christian woman. After understanding the disadvantages, the book offers hope in the form of scriptures, simple steps, and motivation. I'm a man and this book will help me, help others in this situation. GREAT READ!! Would you listen to God Where is My Boaz again? Why? Absolutely! What did you like best about this story?

You dont need another Christian message or a self-help book. You need to have your paradigms about the world shifted into truth. Thats exactly what you get in Love Does. Have you ever noticed that the real change in your life - the growth that sticks and becomes a part of you - never happens with a program or the sheer grit of your best efforts? It happens over time, like a glacier slowly carving valleys through the mountains.In this book of compelling stories paired with eye-opening truths, author Bob Goff shows you a new way to live, a way thats drenched with the whimsy of Gods love and the spontaneity of following where He leads when He says Go! In this book, you learn what it looks like to be secretly incredible and advance Gods kingdom everywhere you are and wherever youre going. For anyone whos wanted to change the world but thought they needed money, a committee, and permission to get started, Love Does shows what can happen when you decide to do instead of plan, act instead of strategize, and fiercely, invisibly fight for the possibility God has gifted you to uniquely see. Members Reviews: One of the most amazing books I have ever read! I bought this title on a whim, but am so glad I did. This is a collection of some of the most amazing and thought-provoking true life stories of the author. After telling the story he share lessons learned from the experience. If you think these stories are just another "run of the mill" collection of cute stories like I thought they might be, you're in for a big surprise! Most of them are so far-fetched it makes you wonder if they really happened. I highly recommend this book to everybody. This is Christianity at its core and makes me want to free myself of all that binds me from allowing LOVE DOES not KNOWS. If you need to have your faith renewed in what love can accomplish in this sad world in which we live PLEASE don't let this title pass you by! Encouraging and thoughtful This was just the book I needed right now: an encouraging look at how God loves us and how we can show His love to others. Some of the chapters resonated more with me than others, but I think that is part of what makes the book good: it speaks to you where you are at. It's an easy read or listen and well worth the time. Love this Book and Love this Aurthor What did you love best about Love Does? I loved that this book was a simple concept but really challenged you to change your thinking. What other book might you compare Love Does to and why? I would compare Love Does to Ken Davis's book Fully Alive. They are both extremely inspiring. I developed a real hope for change after reading both of these. I think anyone would be inspired by either or both of these books. Have you listened to any of Bob Goffs other performances before? How does this one compare? This was the first book by Bob Goff that I have listened to. I think he did a great job. I really enjoy when an author reads their own work because you get their intended emphasis and emotions as the story is told. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? I laughed and cried while listening.

Title: Unshakeable Trust Subtitle: Find the Joy of Trusting God at All Times, in All Things Author: Joyce Meyer Narrator: Jodi Carlisle Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 32 mins Language: English Release date: 09-12-17 Publisher: Hachette Audio Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 117 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: In her new book, New York Times best-selling author Joyce Meyer explores a life lived in complete and total dependence on God. Drawing on her own experiences and inspiration from the word of God, Joyce makes the case that in every area of your life - spiritually, relationally, emotionally, financially - you can trust that God has your very best in store. With each new chapter, Joyce unveils a sovereign and trustworthy God who longs to be in a relationship with his people and inspires you to tear down the walls of self-reliance. This book will both equip and encourage, as you learn how to "trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding". Regardless of your past pain, your present circumstances, or your future uncertainty, when you learn to trust God each day, you'll experience the joy-filled life Jesus came to give you. Others may have let you down...but God never will! Members Reviews: Words to my Experience Loved it! just what my weary soul required ! I will return to it again and again until I have truly absorbed and applied God's truth within it. Good content, but reader style is weak. I love Joyce Meyers messages and content, but the reader for this particular book leaves a lot to be desired. While Im sure she has good intentions, her overall performance is monotone and dry. More intonation and spirit when reading would make this much better. Inspired
Practical, well organized and brilliantly written. A must have for everyone seeking God's way of living Inspirational and Encouraging! These are things we need to hear over and over throughout our lives--at least I do. No matter where you are in your walk with Christ, this book will inspire and encourage you! Unshakable Trust This book is so needed in my life at this season. I have been saved, delivered and set free by The Holy Spirit for many years, but this book teaches me to Lean totally on Jesus. It also help me to realize many things about myself. I love this book. For many years, I've enjoyed the book Battlefield of the Mind. First paperback, hardback and now years later on Audible. This book Unshakable Trust is what I need in my life now while going through a lot of issues about myself and revaluation of God showing me about myself, and about my life circumstances. that I'm facing now. All I can say is , Thank You, Joyce Meyer for this book and Battlefield of the Mind. They have truly been instrumental in giving me insight into God's great love, My first love is Him. My maker is my husband, and He can be relied on and trusted. This book, Unshakeable Trust is a "must have" for the saints of God to read and study for just a closer walk with Jesus.

Title: Prayer Subtitle: Experiencing Awe and Intimacy with God Author: Timothy Keller Narrator: Sean Pratt Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 4 mins Language: English Release date: 11-04-14 Publisher: Penguin Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 955 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: New York Times best-selling author and renowned pastor Timothy Keller explores the power of prayer. Christians are taught in their churches and schools that prayer is the most powerful way to experience God. But aside from learning prayers by rote, few receive instruction or guidance in how to make the most of this essential Christian act - how to make prayer genuinely meaningful. In Prayer, renowned pastor Timothy Keller delves into the many facets of this everyday act. With his trademark insights and energy, Keller offers brilliant and inspirational biblical guidance, as well as specific prayers for certain situations, such as dealing with grief, loss, love, and forgiveness. He discusses ways to make prayers more personal and powerful, and how to establish a practice of prayer that works for each listener. Dr. Keller's previous books have sold more than one million copies. His Redeemer Presbyterian Church is not only a major presence in his home base of New York, it has also helped to launch more than 250 other churches in 48 cities around the world. His teachings have already helped millions, the majority of whom pray regularly. And with Prayer, he'll show them how to find a deeper connection with God. Members Reviews: Powerful I wish I had these lessons on prayer as a young Christian 40 years ago -- have a lot of catching up to do!!! Truly a life changing book for me. Great points on prayer. I will definitely listen to this book again. I've been a Christian for many years and I wanted to learn more about prayer. This books provides good examples of ways we can enrich our prayer time. New insights This book really widened my perspectives and understanding about prayer, which has often been a challenging issue for me and my life. The book is deeply rooted in both the Scriptures and the Christian tradition. With this book Keller has inspired me to see that prayer is more about God and who He IS, rather than my own self-centered needs... Not crazy about this narrator, but great content! This narrator has a really inconsistent speech speed, hard to listen to. But the content is one of TK's best books yet! Well worth your time An excellent book on all the aspects of prayer. Particularly appreciated the inclusion of many other individuals' perspectives on prayer, both historical and current.

Made to Crave Audiobook by Lysa TerKeurst

Title: Made to Crave Subtitle: Satisfying Your Deepest Desire with God, Not Food Author: Lysa TerKeurst Narrator: Jill Brennan Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs Language: English Release date: 12-21-10 Publisher: Zondervan Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 767 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: From New York Times best-selling author of Uninvited and The Best Yes, Lysa TerKeurst brings you the missing link between a womans desire to be healthy and the spiritual empowerment necessary to make that happen. The reality is we were made to crave. Craving isnt a bad thing. But we must realize God created us to crave more of him. Many of us have misplaced that craving by overindulging in physical pleasures instead of lasting spiritual satisfaction. If you are struggling with unhealthy eating habits, you can break the "Ill start again Monday" cycle, and start feeling good about yourself today. Learn to stop beating yourself up over the numbers on the scale. Discover that your weight loss struggle isnt a curse but rather a blessing in the making, and replace justifications that lead to diet failure with empowering go-to scripts that lead to victory. You can reach your healthy weight goal - and grow closer to God in the process. This is not a how-to book. This is not the latest and greatest dieting plan. This book is the necessary companion for you to use alongside whatever healthy lifestyle plan you choose. This is a book and Bible study to help you find the "want to" in making healthy lifestyle choices. Other products in the Made to Crave family include the Made to Crave devotional, video study, and participants guide, and Made to Crave for Young Women, all available now. Members Reviews: Life Changing Book! Would you consider the audio edition of Made to Crave to be better than the print version? I have prefered listening to this book though I own a printed version as well because it's a tough subject for me. Being able to listen has been easier to do as it really has made me take a hard look at my own habits, never an easy subject, and begin to change them. Hearing it makes me feel like I have a partner to help me make some difficult changes for the better! What did you like best about this story? We all have excuses we use to justify behavior that is less than stellar, in this case, how we handle food issues. The author, Lisa, has used all the same excuses I've had myself. Seeing them in print or hearing them read aloud makes me realize how wrong they are and how much I've been lying to myself and BELIEVING the lies! With God's help I'm beginning to see them for what they are and am starting to see changes in my attitudes and behavior. And isn't that why we read a book like this? Any additional comments? I love this book because it's causing me to realize that my walk with God can be sweeter and more personal as I invite Him into my struggle with food issues. It's nourishing my soul as it improves my physical health. What a great combination! This book came highly recommended by two close friends and I'm so glad I took their advice and read it! You should too! Makes you think I really enjoyed this book. It made me think about a lot more than food in my life. Lysa mentions several different things in life that can have a hold on us, things that we wouldn't even consider a "craving". I love the thought that "I am not fat even though my body may be". Our body is the container for our spirit like a glass holding water or a pretty box holding a present! The important part of us is the inside yet we spend so much time focused on the outside.

Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Audiobook by Peter Scazzero

Title: Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Subtitle: It's Impossible to Be Spiritually Mature, While Remaining Emotionally Immature Author: Peter Scazzero Narrator: Peter Scazzero Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 18 mins Language: English Release date: 07-14-15 Publisher: Zondervan Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 311 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Peter Scazzero learned the hard way: you can't be spiritually mature while remaining emotionally immature. Even though he was a pastor of a growing church, he did what most people do: Eventually God awakened him to a biblical integration of emotional health, a relationship with Jesus, and the classic practices of contemplative spirituality. It created nothing short of a spiritual revolution, utterly transforming him and his church. In this best-selling book, Scazzero outlines his journey and the signs of emotionally unhealthy spirituality. Then he provides seven biblical, reality-tested ways to break through to the revolutionary life Christ meant for you. "The combination of emotional health and contemplative spirituality," he says, "Unleashes the Holy Spirit inside us so that we might experientially know the power of an authentic life in Christ." Members Reviews: Great content, read it on paper instead This is the missing manual for modern American Christianity. It breaks through the chains of false identity placed on primarily rural, conservative Christians and explains how spiritual maturity and emotional health are inseparable. You can't love your neighbor if you can't break through your emotional and relational baggage to actually love well. That said, I'd recommend the paperback version of this content for two reasons: 1. You will probably want to easily refer back to certain lists and major points. 2. The author and reader has a persistent narrative tick: he actually enunciates every single question mark in the entire book as "quote" ... "end quote", instead of simply narrating each quoted phrase with the appropriate nuance. That no one caught and coached him on this during the recording process can only mean that it was an intentional aspect of the material: you have reached emotionally healthy spirituality when you no longer want to strangle the speaker for saying "quote" ... "end quote" over. and over. and over. and over again. ;-P Quote/end quote The amount of times the narrator says "quote" and "end quote" is enough to drive you bananas!! VERY distracting! Good, but . . . . Is there anything you would change about this book? There are a few things that I disagreed with based on his usage of Scripture in the Sabbath chapter. What did you like best about this story? I enjoyed the practical nature with which he was able to bring each of the issues presented to life. Which character as performed by Peter Scazzero was your favorite? There was no favorite character, but I did enjoy the authenticity of his wife. If this book were a movie would you go see it? I'm not sure how good of a movie it would be, but it would be interesting. Great Book! I recommend it to anyone struggling with understanding why certain difficulties are happening in their walk with Christ. The author has some great insights and teachings for the readers! must read for all Christians! This book dispels a lot of misguided biblical reasoning regarding the topic of emotions. It is a very biblically centered work with many real life examples.

Members Reviews: Positive messages I like listening to Joel on satellite radio everyday on my commutes. His messages are positive and he ties themes back to the scriptures. If you do not listen to Joel on satellite radio, I would highly recommend this book. However, if you are an avid listener like me, you'll find that 90% of this book is already presented in his sermons. Still a great refresher though. I throughly enjoyed this book. Funny how life happens. This book found me just as I was being let go by my employer. I felt like a total failure and that this was all my fault as I loved my job. So it had to be something wrong with me...right? No! Listening to Joel's book helped me see that growth comes via discomfort. Awesome book yet another awesome book by Joel Osteen. He really knows how to make the word of God easy to understand and fit into my life 2017 Dreams Come True This book is a phenomenal gift for the vision of 2017. Joel explains the power of the mind, the reality chosen by our thoughts and how to change it now for our good and God's glory. Awesome and Reprogramming I had to share his book with family and friends and encourage them to join in this book. I listened to it and in less than two days was completely finished. I will listen to it again and again as it was uplifting and helps to reprogram the "stinking thinking" mentality. I found myself crying and saying Amen and waving my hand in traffic while Pastor Osteen ministered this book to me. I feel like He helped me to put my crown on!

Title: Cultivate Subtitle: A Grace-Filled Guide to Growing an Intentional Life Author: Lara Casey Narrator: Lara Casey Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 38 mins Language: English Release date: 06-27-17 Publisher: Thomas Nelson Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 112 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: A flourishing life is possible - no perfection required! Women often feel like they have to have it all together in order to live meaningful lives. Instead they feel inadequate, overwhelmed, and exhausted as they try to figure out how to do it all. Author, business owner, and mom to three Lara Casey offers sound and grace-filled advice: "We can't do it all and do it well. But we can choose to cultivate what matters." Welcome to the journey of getting messy in the rich soil of possibility - embracing imperfect, grace-filled progress to grow a life of joy. Written as part encouragement anthem and part practical guide, Cultivate offers wisdom from God's word alongside lessons Lara has learned in her garden. Woven throughout is her personal story that helps release listeners from the pressure to achieve and gives them freedom to move from planning to planting a meaningful legacy. "It's in the imperfect - the mess of the dirt - that good things grow," Casey reminds listeners. "Peonies grow through the dirt, and so do we." Listeners will learn to embrace the seasons they're in, finding balance as they interact in fresh ways with their current life scenarios, with God, and in the communities where they are planted. Special features include: Find the joy and the freedom that comes in cultivating what matters, little by little, with God's transforming grace. Members Reviews: So good. loved every moment of this book. Lara is so real, and just really speaks deep. time to listen again. Inspiring and friendly! Like an honest, hopeful conversation with a friend over coffee to make fruitful life changes Needs editing There are so many places that should have been edited out but were left. It's a good message, just poorly edited. Excellent, I really enjoyed it! Lara is a great narrator!! It's like you are just sitting together and hanging out. I enjoyed all the parallels to gardening in this book. As someone who is also an unlikely gardener, giving my go at gardening these past couple of years, I could relate! This book was filled with wonderful reminders of the lies we find ourselves believing and how to replace them with God's truth. I love Lara's openness and honesty about her journey throughout the book. I loved Lara's first book, Make It Happen, and this second book was another great one! Thank you Lara for opening up and sharing your story. It's through your experiences- good and bad-that you are so effectively able to encourage other women. People are drawn to those who are open, honest and willing to be vulnerable. I'm sure it felt risky, but I assure you it was worth it. Thank you for taking that risk! (I also love all your pictures of Gracie's garden that you post!) Loved this so much! This book totally resonated with me in the season of life Im in. Lara narrated beautifully, and was such an encourager to not get caught up in the things that dont matter, but to cultivate a lasting legacy and a life that matters. I will read this many times , Im sure.

Title: Fasting Author: Jentezen Franklin Narrator: Lloyd James Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 28 mins Language: English Release date: 11-02-09 Publisher: christianaudio.com Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 360 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Those who seek God through fasting can expect tremendous rewards both for their personal lives and the church. They will see breakthroughs in many areas, such as healing, finances, bondages broken, and children set free. Jesus Himself fasted because He knew some supernatural realities could not be released in any other way. For that reason alone, Christians should make fasting a common practice. Members Reviews: Absolutely amazing! Life changing! Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes, see comments below. Any additional comments? As a 46 year old thats been a believer since age 17, my life changed again in 2001 when I decided to actually READ the Bible. I began a 1 year plan to read the whole Bible. That changed my life and I decided to do that for the rest of my life. My life is good, I am blessed beyond my understanding. However, in seeking to know the Creator more, and looking for new breakthroughs in my life, a friend recommended this book. I have never been a good faster. I like to say Im slow at fasting. :) While listening to this book, the Lord touched me, the Holy Spirit spoke to my heart and I knew this is the new thing I need to make part of my life. I havent even begun my fast, yet the Lord has already started blessing me in new ways. I highly recommend this book if you seek breakthrough in your life. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. Matt 5:6 Fasting All information included has convicted me that I must start fasting and praying. Excellent book Revelation Knowledge!! I have never, never heard fasting described as I've heard here. In plain English, Pastor Franklin explains what fasting is, why it is necessary and how to do it- with options! And the testimonials of those who got in the will of God on the fast! I am sincerely thankful for this work of love. I'm so full!!! I've learned so much from this teaching.i had a hunger learn more about fasting and this book set me on the right course. To God be the Glory!! This man fasted and this book is evidence I took upon myself to listen to this book one morning and the inspiration from book led me into a 24 hour water only fast. An amazing listen, I did not even know who this man was before listening to this book but have discovered to new favorite author. I am not working on more of his stuff, the narrator is good and the content is EXCELLENT. I am recommending this book to everyone I know. I have listened to this book, portions of it three times. 6 STars aren't enough. Well done good and faithful Servant. Your fasting is demonstrative in your writing.

No God but One: Allah or Jesus? Audiobook by Nabeel Qureshi

Subtitle: A Former Muslim Investigates the Evidence for Islam and Christianity Author: Nabeel Qureshi Narrator: Nabeel Qureshi Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 18 mins Language: English Release date: 08-16-16 Publisher: Zondervan Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 920 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: On account of the superficial points of agreement between Islam and Christianity, many don't see how tremendously deep the divides between them really are, and fewer still have considered the evidence for each faith. How is jihad different from the Crusades? Can we know the life of Jesus as well as the life of Muhammad? What reason is there to believe in one faith over the other, and what difference can the Gospel really make? In No God but One, New York Times best-selling author Nabeel Qureshi takes listeners on a global, historical, yet deeply personal journey to the heart of the world's two largest religions. He explores the claims that each faith makes upon believers' intellects and lives, critically examining the evidence in support of their distinctive beliefs. Fleshed out with stories from the annals of both religions, No God but One unveils the fundamental enduring conflict between Islam and Christianity - directly addressing controversial topics like jihad, the Crusades, Sharia, the Trinity, and more. Listeners of Qureshi's first book, Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus, will appreciate his careful and respectful comparison of Islam and Christianity. Both religions teach that there is No God but One, but who deserves to be worshiped, Allah or Jesus? Members Reviews: Awe inspiring. Dr. Qureshi delivers an eye opening comparison between the Islamic version of God and the Christian version of God. The information given shows the grave contrast between the two in a loving and sincere delivery much like a gentle doctor delivering a new born. WOW!! Dr. Qureshi's first book was moving, compelling, eye-opening, educational! I wondered if he could top that. He most certainly did! Thank you Dr. Qureshi! Moreover, it has been my experience that authors make horrible narrators; NOT so with this author! I never give 5 stars The story reviews the evidence for Islam from the perspective of an objective observer. It covers the most common defenses of Islam and the reasons why they don't withstand scrutiny. Excellent book for comparative religion and/or learning more about the complex world of the middle east, what Islam teaches, and why isis and others do what they do. I would highly recommend this book. As a Christian it is very enlightening to understand why isis and others do what they do. If more people read/listened to this book we could more effectively minister and rebut what isis and others say and do. No God but One: Allah or Jesus Want to understand the difference between Islam and Christianity? I couldn't recommend a better book. A wonderful journey of faith The honest anguish exhibited by Nabeel as he takes us on his journey of faith, makes for a an incredibly enlightening read and listen. Moreover, Nabeel's reading of the last chapter represents perhaps the pinnacle of my audio book experiences. Read or listen to, No God but One: Allah or Jesus?, and I guarantee you'll love it.

Desiring God Audiobook by John Piper

Title: Desiring God Subtitle: Meditations of A Christian Hedonist Author: John Piper Narrator: Grover Gardner Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 21 mins Language: English Release date: 12-31-08 Publisher: christianaudio.com Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 403 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: In this paradigm-shattering work, John Piper reveals that the debate between duty and delight doesn't truly exist. Delight is our duty. Join him as he unveils stunning, life-impacting truths you saw in the Bible but never dared to believe. Members Reviews: BEST BOOK I'VE EVER READ OTHER THAN THE BIBLE! I've read quite a few theological works by great Christian authors, but in my opinion, they all pale in comparison to this one. What John Piper does so well is to make it so clear that we are creatures made for worship, and we were created to worship God. It is in this activity alone that we find complete peace and satisfaction. It is not that we have too much desire; it is that we do not have enough desire. It is not that we seek too much satisfaction, but too little. God is the only desire that will fulfill us. Piper compares this truth to C.S. Lewis' infamous analogy of a child playing in the mud because he cannot imagine a holiday at the beach. We attempt to satisfy ourselves with lesser things to our detriment because we don't understand just how full our satisfaction can be when we seek it in God. Piper does not stop there, however. He goes on to discuss what pursing God means and how to incorporate that pursuit into our daily lives. He tells us that joy is something we have to fight for, and he discusses various tactics for that battle. He makes his presentation very easy to understand. He uses quotations from other well-known Christian authors, such as C.S. Lewis, but he keeps theological rhetoric to a minimum. His style is conversational, and it was translated very well through the narrative talents of Grover Gardner. Gardner did an outstanding job with the narration with a beautiful melodic voice that maintains an upbeat cadence throughout the audiobook. Let me just say that by applying Piper's view of God as my ultimate goal and desire, decisions have become much easier, bothersome thoughts don't bother me as much, and I am a much happier and more satisfied person. I know...You're thinking..."Seriously? She read this book and it changed her life that much? This sound suspicously like that self-help nonsense that works for five minutes until life happens." Life has happened and life will happen, and I know that I will continue to see it differently...through the eyes of a God Who wants nothing more from me than my worship, praise, adoration, and love. I'm not suggesting that I will do this perfectly, but, at least, John Piper has shown me what a holiday at the beach with God might look like, and once you've seen an image like that, there's no going back. Best Blueprint for Living Life Honoring Christ Next to the Holy Bible, this is the best book I have ever read. I reread this book about every year. It helps keep my life's focus on properly on desiring God more than anything this world can offer. Great Book, Bad narration Is there anything you would change about this book? The narrator How did the narrator detract from the book? It sounded computer generated. There was little inflection and most of the time it was monotone. I would have preferred it being read by Piper himself. It seemed the narrator did not understand what had been written and therefore was unable to convey the depth of the book adequately.

I love that Joyce doesn't sugar coat the word of God. More Inspiration than Education I'm a long time Joyce Meyer fan and follower. Some of her material has changed my life and behavior. However I was disappointed in this. I'm out of Audible credits so I payed almost $18 for this compilation of a weekend event that she did. I expect to pay that for a book that's compiled of well organized information, but this was more like infotainment. Going to be requesting a refund. Must read! Fantastic book.. it will change your life of you work it! I have bought 3 more copies to give out. Learning To Be Led by the Holy Spirit I absolutely loved it! Joyce Meyers was the narrator which made it seem as though I was sitting in the actual conference. Above and beyond helpful! I could listen to this every day and be refreshed and renewed! Most of all, it reminded me how important the Holy Spirit is in life and truly living!

Title: Imagine Heaven Subtitle: Near-Death Experiences, God's Promises, and the Exhilarating Future That Awaits You Author: John Burke Narrator: Tristan Wright Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 30 mins Language: English Release date: 07-31-17 Publisher: christianaudio.com Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 76 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: All of us long to know what life after death will be like. Best-selling author John Burke is no exception. In Imagine Heaven, Burke compares over 100 gripping stories of near-death experiences (NDEs) to what Scripture says about our biggest questions of heaven: Will I be myself? Will I see friends and loved ones? What will heaven look like? What is God like? What will we do forever? What about children and pets? For decades, Burke has been studying accounts of survivors brought back from near death who lived to tell of both heavenly and hellish experiences. While not every detail of individual NDEs correlate with Scripture, Burke shows how the common experiences shared by thousands of survivors - including doctors, college professors, bank presidents, people of all ages and cultures, and even blind people - point to the exhilarating picture of heaven promised in the Bible. This thrilling journey into the afterlife will make you feel like you've been there. It will forever change the way you view the life to come and the way you live your life today. You'll discover heaven is even more amazing than you've ever imagined. Members Reviews: Great book Great book- amazing stories .. I very much enjoyed this book. I could do without the readers change in voices thought out the story. It was distracting and took away from the stories. I wish a different person narrated. Would you consider the audio edition of Imagine Heaven to be better than the print version? No What was one of the most memorable moments of Imagine Heaven? High pitched male voice of the narrator. He changed his voice when he read the quotes of different people and it was sort of annoying. I wish it was read by Dan Woren. Would you be willing to try another one of Tristan Wrights performances? No. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? No. The book sounded so light because of the narrator. Excellent This book renewed my faith!! I have children that do mot believe in God and this is a perfect book for them. I can not wait to get it for them. Thank you The book was excellent I listened to it twice. The book helped me to better understand God's promise for my life and heaven. The Narrator really wasn't great. I didn't like the many different voices he attempted. However still a phenomenal book to experience. Amazingly facinating I would recommend this book to everyone I know!!! The narration was elequent and inviti g. I will be listening to this book again!!!

Don't miss Jen's latest title, also a New York Times best seller, Of Mess & Moxie. Best-selling author Jen Hatmaker is convinced life can be lovely and fun and courageous and kind. She reveals with humor and style how Jesus' embarrassing grace is the key to dealing with life's biggest challenge: people. The majority of our joys, struggles, thrills, and heartbreaks relate to people, beginning with ourselves and then the people we came from, married, birthed, live by, go to church with, don't like, don't understand, fear, compare ourselves to, and judge. Jen knows how the squeeze of this life can make us competitive and judgmental, how we can lose love for others and then for ourselves. She reveals how to: In this raucous ride to freedom for modern women, Jen Hatmaker bares the refreshing wisdom, wry humor, no-nonsense faith, liberating insight, and fearless honesty that have made her beloved by women worldwide. For the Love is also available in Spanish, Por el amor de... Members Reviews: She read my diary Any additional comments? Just do yourself a favor and buy this book. However, if you buy the audio version, buy the print version too. I promise you won't regret either purchase. Let me start with my favorite part of the audio version: Jen Hatmaker reads the book herself. I felt like she was sitting in front of me, talking to me. I also felt like she had just read my diary, because she seemed to know every struggle in my life. I bought the Audible version because I do a lot of driving. Here's what happened when I listened. 1. I cried. Because she gets it. A sob session while driving, umm, maybe not so safe, but I survived and so did everyone else on the road. 2. I wanted to underline, copy, or somehow save particular sections of the book. So strong was my desire to remember these sections, that I may have grabbed my phone, paused the book, and attempted to dictate certain lines into a note on my phone. Did I mention I was driving? 3. I didn't want to get out of the car when I reached my destination. I just wanted to keep listening. How bad would it be to walk through Target with my phone on speaker trying to listen to the book? 4. I laughed. Because she's hilarious. HILARIOUS. So, why buy the audio and print version? Because it's so cool to hear Jen read the book and you will want to listen to it more than once. But you will want the print version so you can highlight certain sections and refer to it later. This book was what I needed at this time in my life. Also, I now have the courage to make beef bourguignon. How did Jen know that that I made a goal at the beginning of 2015 to make beef bourguignon and I keep eyeing Julia Childs' recipe in fear and trepidation? See what I mean about the diary part? Many laughs, if you can endure the delivery Would you try another book from Jen Hatmaker and/or Jen Hatmaker? I would probably be willing to read more of Jen's books, but I would not want to listen to an audio featuring her again. What didnt you like about Jen Hatmakers performance? While I think Jen is probably a very wonderful and caring person, her reading style was tough to take. She has a very forceful, scolding quality to her speaking that I found really oppressive over time.

Beth Moore tells you how in Praying God's Word. A topical prayer guide addressing 14 common strongholds and what Scripture reveals about each of them, Praying God's Word presents Scriptures in prayer form to be incorporated into your daily prayer life. God's Word, through prayer, helps you overcome bitterness, anger, and unforgiveness, setting you free from each and every stronghold which claims your life, and replacing it with the mind of Christ. ©2009 Beth Moore; (P)2009 Brilliance Audio, Inc. Members Reviews: Incredible! This book has been an incredible tool in building my faith and relationship with God. It has some commentary by the author and quotes by other authors but mainly scriptures in the form of prayers. In my experience, this book had far more than what could be caught just by listening in the car or while doing something else. It is probably best to follow along in an actual book or listen first to get the general idea and then study with an actual book. It's amazing the things the Holy Spirit can teach you and bless you with when you are praying scripture! Praying God's Word Although I love Beth Moore, I think this book would be better in print. There is a lot of scripture included that is intended for prayer. I think it's the kind of thing you'd really want to have in your hands as you are praying. Good Information I enjoyed the content of this book. It was very helpful information. It would have been easier to listen to if it had been narrated by Beth Moore. Passionate Teacher Our words can have negative or positive effects on others. God "spoke" and it happened. Scripture is full of verses about the power of the tongue. Beth encourages us to pray out loud and groups some scripture into topics to help get us started. But it's really up to each of us how, when and where we pray. I had this book and ear marked the pages so I could return over and over. I eventually gave it to someone to encourage them. Not a good Audible book! Would you listen to Praying God's Word again? Why? You need to buy this book- it has tons of prayers that she listed and guess what?? I dont have any of them...

Title: The Legacy Journey Subtitle: A Radical View of Biblical Wealth and Generosity Author: Dave Ramsey Narrator: Dave Ramsey Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 4 mins Language: English Release date: 10-15-14 Publisher: Ramsey Press Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1210 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Dave Ramsey shares Biblical wisdom on the legacy we build with our wealth. What does the Bible really say about money? About wealth? How much does God expect you to give to others? How does wealth affect your friendships, marriage, and children? How much is "enough"? Theres a lot of bad information in our culture today about wealth - and the wealthy. Worse, theres a growing backlash in America against our most successful neighbors, but why? To many, wealth is seen as the natural result of hard work and wise money management. To others, wealth is viewed as the ultimate, inexcusable sin. This has left a lot of godly men and women honestly confused about what to do with the resources Gods put in their hands.

Title: Church of the Small Things Subtitle: The Million Little Pieces That Make Up a Life Author: Melanie Shankle, The Pioneer Woman Ree Drummond - foreword Narrator: Melanie Shankle Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 18 mins Language: English Release date: 10-03-17 Publisher: Zondervan Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 106 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Is my ordinary, everyday life actually significant? Is it okay to be fulfilled by the simple acts of raising kids, working in an office, and cooking chicken for dinner? It's been said "life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the number of moments that take our breath away". The pressure of that can be staggering as we spend our days looking for that big thing that promises to take our breath away. Meanwhile, we lose sight of the small significance of fully living with every breath we take. Melanie Shankle, New York Times best-selling author and writer at The Big Mama Blog, tackles these questions head-on in her fourth book, Church of the Small Things. Easygoing and relatable, she speaks directly to the heart of women of all ages who are longing to find significance and meaning in the normal, sometimes mundane world of driving carpool to soccer practice, attending class on their college campus, cooking meals for their family, or taking care of a sick loved one. The million little pieces that make a life aren't necessarily glamorous or far-reaching. But God uses some of the smallest, most ordinary acts of faithfulness - and sometimes they look a whole lot like packing lunch. Through humorous stories told in her signature style, full of Frito pie, best friends, the love of her Me-Ma and Pa-Pa, the unexpected grace that comes when we quit trying to measure up, and a little of the best TV has to offer, Melanie helps women embrace what it means to live a simple yet incredibly meaningful life and how to find all the beauty and laughter that lies right beneath the surface of every moment. Members Reviews: Fantastic performance, great story Id just like to say that I love this book so much that I might buy the paper version now also (I listened to it on Audible). It was very easy to listen to, I adore Melanie Shankle and absolutely love the way she narrates her books! After reading quite a few of the less than 5 star reviews, I disagree with most all of them. Sure, she repeats a couple references or pets of stories but its definitely not to the point of being annoying and doesnt make you think well Ive heard this before so Im going to skip it like some books might. I definitely teared up through multiple parts, especially about her friend with cancer, but there are even more hilarious parts that I laughed at. I highly recommend this for anyone wanting a light and humorous book that also has depth and feeling to it. so funny! So poignant! I'm a 40 something married woman with a daughter who is a tween becoming a teen. I grew up in a 1980s making bad fashion choices, debating the merits of bangs, wanting to be Olivia Newton John, attempting to figure out why my parents divorced, grieving a beloved pet and so many more relatable incidents too! Melanie remembered all those 'little things' that shaped my life and continue to define daily struggles and joys. What a delightful read! Amazing I loved this book so much. I could not put it down. The second it was over I Found myself saying, more ,more!! Starting SparklyGreen Earrings NOW Love it! All of Melanie shankles books are great! She is so real and funny! I am always excited to see she has written a new book. This one did not disappoint.

Forgotten God Audiobook by Francis Chan

Title: Forgotten God Subtitle: Remembering Our Crucial Need for the Holy Spirit Author: Francis Chan Narrator: Francis Chan Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 11 mins Language: English Release date: 09-01-09 Publisher: Oasis Audio Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1039 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: "In the name of the Father, the Son, and ... the Holy Spirit." We pray in the name of all three, but how often do we live with an awareness of only the first two? As Jesus ascended into heaven, He promised to send the Holy Spirit - the Helper - so that we could be true and living witnesses for Christ. Unfortunately, today's church has admired the gift but neglected to open it. Breakthrough author Francis Chan rips away paper and bows to get at the true source of the church's power - the Holy Spirit. Chan contends that we've ignored the Spirit for far too long, and we are reaping the disastrous results. Thorough scriptural support and compelling narrative form Chan's invitation to stop and remember the One we've forgotten, the Spirit of the living God. Members Reviews: A wakeup call ALL Christians need I read Francis Chan's last book, "Crazy Love", and it changed my life. So much so, that I bought 10 copies for my friends. So when this book came out, and saw all the great reviews on Amazon, I was eager to read it. I commute an hour to work each way, so audiobooks are great. This book really helped me to perceive the Holy Spirit, not as some little ghost friend that helps you out here and there, but GOD's true, powerful spirit, living in me. It once again put me back in awe of my creator, humbled me, and changed my life in a biblical way. Chan never ceases to amaze me with his writing and speeches, and this book did not disappoint. Amazing! Thank you Francis for helping me to learn to see my Heavenly Father more clearly! The Spirit: the Power of Christ in Us Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? This is an excellent companion to the book of Acts, which starts with Christ telling his followers to gather together, to wait, and then receive What does Francis Chan bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Some people are great writers, some are great speakers, and some people do not read out loud what they write. Some things will always be labor intensive to read, even things that hold our interest. Those things that represent a passion that is beyond verbal expression can lose that passion in print. Francis Chan covers the emotional spectrum in this book. It is more of a 3-D narrative - not with pictures and such, but with reason, feeling and passion. I might get the paper version to mark up and take notes in, but the written words will not hold the same energy and passion the spoken word brings to this very important subject. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? God desperately wants to have a relationship with me. And you. This book made me look at the purpose behind my prayer time. God knows what I want, fear, hope for. By regaining focus on God, the Holy Spirit is sharing what God wants to do through me. I have laughed at the joy of realizing this, and cried over the wasted time spent wondering why I wasn't Any additional comments? God wants me to know Him. God who made everything, wants me to know Him. He gave His son, Jesus, to bring salvation by satisfying the Wrath of God earned by our sin; He gave the Holy Spirit to let us know Him personally... the veil no longer exits between man and God.

The Problem of Pain Audiobook by C.S. Lewis

biacuaduc@gmail.com (C.S. Lewis) — Tue, 21 Aug 2012 08:53:34 GMT

Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/380/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Problem of Pain Author: C.S. Lewis Narrator: James Simmons Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 50 mins Language: English Release date: 08-21-12 Publisher: HarperAudio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 619 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Why must we suffer? "If God is good and all-powerful, why does he allow his creatures to suffer pain?" And what of the suffering of animals, who neither deserve pain nor can be improved by it? The greatest Christian thinker of our time sets out to disentangle this knotty issue. With his signature wealth of compassion and insight, C. S. Lewis offers answers to these crucial questions and shares his hope and wisdom to help heal a world hungering for a true understanding of human nature. Members Reviews: Deep, real answers for the existence of pain This book is an exploration of why a good God would allow for pain and suffering. It is not an easy book to listen to because Lewis explores the merits and fallacies of various theological ideas about the topic, which requires some foreknowledge of theological terminology and concepts. Because of this, I don't know that I would recommend this book for a new Christian. It is not that a new Christian could not benefit from it, but the vocabulary may cause a great deal of frustration. This is one of the few books where I can say that I thought the first half was better than the second half. In the first half, the reality of pain is discussed as it relates to the nature of God. In the second half, Lewis begins exploring various beliefs on the subject of pain, and I thought he tended to wander a bit off topic at times and contradict himself. For example, in chapter nine, he discusses pain as animals experience it. One second, he says we can't really know about their pain or their immortality and the next he conjectures that the reference to the lion and the lamb lying down together in heaven was probably a common analogy of the time and shouldn't be taken literally, implying that animals probably do not possess immortal souls. I believe he overlooked quite a few verses in the Bible that imply otherwise. I deducted an "overall" star for that. The narrator would have been a good narrator for a Shakesperean play but not for a C.S. Lewis book. Lewis had an off-the-cuff style and most narrators of his books reflect that. James Simmons' style was anything but off-the-cuff. He made it sound more like a lecture than like Lewis reading his own work. It's not that he's a poor narrator, it's just that a narrator with a more relaxed tone should have been chosen. Overall, there are certain ideas that I will take with me from this book that I believe will help me in my moments of pain. I knew intellectually that God does not allow pain without reason, but the explanations of God's character relative to reasons he might allow for suffering will be something that will help me to emotionally understand Him. I would listen to this book again (or at least the first half) and I would recommend it to anyone who wonders why a good God allows bad things to happen to good people. Not the usual treatment of the subject Lewis has some interesting things to say about the problem of pain, and what he says is not the same old story that you hear from other thinkers. Parts of his argument really struck me as quite satisfactory, and parts not...but if I read the written version and study it maybe I will have a better grasp on what Lewis has in mind. It is a very stimulating book to say the least. It will make you think!! A Must Read Would you listen to The Problem of Pain again? Why? I will listen to it many times.

This introduction to systematic theology has several distinctive features: Members Reviews: Not a reading of the book This was not the actual audio version of the book. However, it was a collection of talks, or, as he refers to them himself, "sessions that summarize the book. If you are looking for the full version of the book, I recommend getting the physical copy until a full, unabridged version of the audio is available. Disappointed that Audible did not clarify. Most but not all Would you listen to Systematic Theology again? Why? this audio version contains most of the text but not all. It contains the same idea, but not text to text reading. Maybe this is why it is a lot easier to understand. It is definitely audience freindly to listen to the audio than reading the book. However, if you are studying for the test, you should read the book, if you do not want to miss any detail. But if you are cramming, this really helps. very short overview this is a pretty good overview of grudem's systematic theology, but I wish it was a lot longer - preferably, I would like an unabridged recording of the book. however, this is a good substitute for now Great overview of Christianity Easy to follow, great teaching, learn the nuts & Bolts of your faith from a veteran prof. Insightful It was good would like a full reading of this book. I also like that Dr. Grudem did it his self.

The New Strong-Willed Child is being rushed to press for parents needing help dealing with sibling rivalry, ADHD, low self-esteem, and other important issues. This audiobook is a must-listen for parents and teachers struggling to raise and teach children who are convinced they should be able to live by their own rules! Members Reviews: Answer to my prayers! I was referred to this book by a friend when I was about to throw the towel in on homeschooling. I was frustrated and cried daily. My son was testing me every minute of every day and my children were fighting all the time. This book had me in tears...not sad tears but years of relief! It only took 2 days to get through this wonderful book. In these past 2 days I can see a difference in my household already!!!! Thank God for this book and Mr Dobson! Very helpful! The interview with the moms of strong-willed children was very helpful. I've recommended this book to many of my friends. Every child has a strong will in some senses, but some are truly more challenging and Dr. Dobson offers sound advice for us as parents. Insightful This is a very good book. Very insightful and definitely has helped thus far. Thank you Dr. Dobson for your ministry and commitment to the family and may the Lord continue to bless you. So glad I chose the audio version! Wonderful book. I chose this audiobook because I was wanted different ideas for raising my daughter. After reading this I felt encouraged and empowered. My favorite chapter was with the live interviews from one of his radio shows. I thoroughly enjoyed that addition. Born again christian based Was disappointed by the born again view point of this book. Especially since it wasn't mentioned in the description or reviews. The introduction tells how the author beat his recalcitrant dachshund with a belt??? Later on a mother tells how she had to discipline her 5 year old daughter by putting her in the garage! Then prays over her every day asking the holy spirit for guidance. Really???

God and Donald Trump Audiobook by Stephen E. Strang

Strang Narrator: John Pruden Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 30 mins Language: English Release date: 11-21-17 Publisher: Mission Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 27 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: With pundits asking, "How did he win?" this book explores whether there was a supernatural element involved. Christian leaders prophesied before the election that God had raised up Donald Trump to lead the nation through a time of crisis. But could this billionaire reality-TV star actually convince the voters he was for real? If so, what is God doing now, not only in Donald's Trump's life, but also in the life of the nation? Trump is an enigma, a brash self-promoter, casino owner, and man of the world. Yet he is also a devoted husband and father who has surrounded himself with men and women of faith and has made religion a key component of his image. God and Donald Trump is a powerful first-person account of one of the most contentious elections in American history, with exclusive interviews and insightful commentary from the men and women who were there. Members Reviews: Worth a read/listen This book impressed upon me...or rather, reminded me of the sovereignty of almighty God and that He still works in mysterious ways. This book has strengthened my faith. Great listen! If you want to know the back story of the 2016 election, this is a must read. Especially if are a person of faith, a bible believing Christian, and a patriot. Like it or not, God put Donald Trump in the White House for such a time as this! Well written! Many will say that this is a very one sided and biased view of Mr Trump through the eyes of a believer in the Christian faith. Some will call it a concocted lie to satisfy the evangelical movement and prove that God was ultimately in control of Trumps victory. Well, the truth of the matter is that there are numerous undeniable facts in this book that cannot be refuted, explained and one cannot help but look at it logically and try to apply all common era knowledge, reason or rational and still leave scratching their head. I do believe that this was perhaps one of the Greatest and most historical elections of our entire lifetimes and that there were forces that cannot be seen, explained nor understood that were at work to remove the Clinton Machine from her premise of destruction. The ObamaNation was just like the name states: and Abomination. Only difference was in how it was spelled. All around awesome book that I thoroughly enjoyed. Once I began listening, I couldnt stop until I finished it, only took me a day to listen to it in its entirety. I would highly recommend whether or not you like Trump or not, its worth the time and listen. Highly recommended! Great book! Loved it! Inspired me to pray more for President Trump and to be very thankful for him! Evidence A pleasure to read an evidence based account and appreciate the candid observations. Believable truth.

Title: Divine Direction Subtitle: 7 Decisions That Will Change Your Life Author: Craig Groeschel Narrator: Van Tracy Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 17 mins Language: English Release date: 02-07-17 Publisher: Zondervan Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 519 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Every day we make choices. And those choices accumulate and eventually become our life story. What would your life look like if you became an expert at making those choices? In this inspiring guidebook, New York Times best-selling author Craig Groeschel shows how the choices that are in your power, if aligned with biblical principles, will lead to a life you've never imagined. Divine Direction will help you seek wisdom through seven principles. You'll consider one thing to stop that's hindering you; how to start a new habit to redirect your path; where you should stay committed; and when you should go, even if it's easier to stay. The book also includes criteria that will help you feel confident in the right choice and encourages you with principles for trusting God with your decisions. What story do you want to tell about yourself? God is dedicated to the wonderful plan he's laid out for you. The achievable and powerful steps in Divine Direction take you there one step at a time, big or small. Members Reviews: Unparalleled, Practical Wisdom for Life For those who don't know Craig Groeschel, he is the premier church innovator in the US, possibly the world. The words in this book are so simple I'm sure the depth of its wisdom will go unnoticed by most. Everyone I talk to wants to have the best life they can have. If I could go back to when I became a teenager and tell my friends to practice these 7 items with me, the world would be a different place. Read this book, start its advice & share with someone else who you want to truly live life. Practical Great for any believer, but especially for those needing counsel, or those who are new in their faith. Many encouraging testimonies and focal points for Christian living Very helpful book on making choices Good stories and help on making simple choices to change direction. Very good reader also. This book really had an impact in my life!! What did you love best about Divine Direction? The book is just so easy to follow even in audio, but it has such a deep and meaningful message that conveys real actions that I've begun applying them in my life What other book might you compare Divine Direction to and why? Lasting Impact: 7 powerful conversations that will help your church grow. It compares to this book not because it talks about how to make your church grow, but it does help YOU grow spiritually. These two books have really impacted my life and both are great recommendations for you to read/listen if you're looking for some deep, personal, advise in growing closer to God and really growing spiritually for both you and your family's sake. What about Van Tracys performance did you like? It was good, not great. He sometimes uses a monotone way of talk that it doesn't always convey the feeling or emotion the author really meant.

Members Reviews: Incredible book, faulty audio I loved everything about this book. The teachings in it, the hope it gives, and the light it shines on the mediocrity so many Christians allow into our lives today is refreshing and eye opening. The only issue I have is that from the end of chapter 5 on, the recording is faulty in some places. I called audible twice and took the steps they told me to correct it, but there were parts where the audio skipped and sentences were repeated. Overall, the book itself is amazing. Audio editing is messed up. Any additional comments? We have the print version of this book and I purchased the Audible version but had to stop listening because the editing was so messed up that it didn't make sense. I chatted with multiple ppl at Audible to get this resolved and there were going to get back with me. That was on 12/17/16 and I haven't heard back since. Flawed digital skipping - AMAZING MESSAGE! Seemingly only on one are of chapter * takes several minutes to recover to no longer repeat/skip. Audible hearing of almost a loop sound causing it in several areas of particular area. Getting ready to play it third time through. *Will note exact chapter when I catch it next time! ESSENTIAL RECOMMENDATION! Should be mandatory teaching for anyone curiously seeking and lifelong believers alike. Amazing I loved it! But most importantly, I loved discovering the Truth about God as my Father, as revealed by His amazing Son Jesus, Jesus Himself being empowered by Holy Spirit. There are so many truths here requiring a very deep paradigm shift, that I need to listen intently, again and again, until these finally take root in me. I enjoyed the narrator. it was perfect reading Bill Johnson is such a treasure. Bill always looks deeper at the Word of God. He never skims the surface. His spiritual insight is awe inspiring. When I finished this book I felt changed. I felt closer to the truth after reading this book because it is founded in truth from the Word of the Lord.

Trumpocalypse Audiobook by Paul McGuire, Troy Anderson

Title: Trumpocalypse Subtitle: The End-Times President, a Battle Against the Globalist Elite, and the Countdown to Armageddon Author: Paul McGuire, Troy Anderson Narrator: Troy Anderson, Paul McGuire Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 20 mins Language: English Release date: 01-02-18 Publisher: Hachette Audio Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: From the authors of the international best seller The Babylon Code comes an explosive exposé of the chilling truth about the fierce opposition to the Trump presidency, and why the globalist elite and Deep State will stop at nothing - assassination, military coup, staged economic collapse, or worse - to overthrow him. "Trumpocalypse!" It's the media-coined meme inciting panic and fear that America has elected an unstable man who will barge into delicate international affairs like a bull in a china shop and incite nations bent on America's destruction to trigger World War III - an unprecedented nuclear apocalypse ending the world as we know it. But is the media telling us the truth? No, say internationally-recognized prophecy expert and Fox News and History Channel commentator Paul McGuire and Pulitzer Prize-nominated investigative journalist Troy Anderson. America's most insidious enemies are not hostile nations; they are elite globalists - the "Establishment" that is making the "one percent" even richer while working- and middle-class people watch their incomes and net worth's flatline or plummet. The authors fearlessly expose the globalist elite's secret plan for humanity and campaign of mass deception. Using documentation gleaned from years of journalistic investigation and extensive interviews with over 50 of the world's most respected geopolitical, economic and military affairs experts, faith leaders, and biblical scholars, McGuire and Anderson unmask these elites as members of secret societies with deep occult connections who have gained control of America's dominant institutions - government, education, entertainment, international banking, and even the media. Trumpocalypse explores the enigmatic prophecies and "biblical codes" involving Trump, and asks whether God raised up President Trump as a fearless leader to guide America and the free world through a series of major crises as the biblical end-time narrative unfolds, as many people with prophetic gifts are predicting, and shows why everyday Americans and evangelicals have rallied around Trump as their last hope of saving America and averting the horrors of the Apocalypse. It further reveals why Trump and millions of "deplorables" are fighting to stop the hidden agenda of the Establishment, and how the perplexing chaos enveloping the planet could paradoxically signal the beginning of the great end-times awakening that millions are praying for. Here is an invitation to join the anti-Establishment surge - what evangelist Franklin Graham calls "the Christian revolution" - and discover how to fulfill your own destiny in the run-up to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

Title: The Daniel Dilemma Subtitle: How to Stand Firm and Love Well in a Culture of Compromise Author: Chris Hodges Narrator: Mark Smeby Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 37 mins Language: English Release date: 10-17-17 Publisher: Thomas Nelson Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 61 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Best-selling author and influential pastor Chris Hodges uses the wisdom of the book of Daniel to show Christians how to stand firm in their biblical beliefs while still loving people vastly different from them in attitudes and lifestyles. Christians face a major dilemma today. How can they not only stay engaged with the shifting and increasingly ungodly culture around them but also influence it for good? Is there a way to love people with significantly different attitudes and lifestyles without compromising biblical beliefs? From breakfast tables to boardrooms to Bible studies, Christians are wrestling with these questions today on issues such as politics, gender identity, and the nature of marriage. Pastor Chris Hodges points listeners to the book of Daniel for timely answers and shows how one man with a heart faithful to God remained firm in his faith without yielding to the pagan culture around him or becoming rude, insulting, or mad. Daniel kept God's standards high and his grace deep - just as Jesus did. Just as we're called to do when culture shifts. Members Reviews: Another Great One By Hodges Chris first book Fresh Air is also a must read!! God Bless! Church of the Highlands podcast is also a must listen! Great book on living for Christ no matter what! It's been awhile since I've taken notes while a book is playing, so I thank you Mr. Hodges for igniting my faith again! This book gave me more direction on how to live in this world despite the allure it has to make us stray so easily. Really makes you evaluate different areas of your life to see if you're really living for God or slipping more and more into this world. Only thing I wish it had was a few more real life examples of how to talk with those that aren't living for God-I enjoyed the examples there were, but more would have been helpful...but still an AWESOME book that I would highly recommend! Challenging Not only was this work well performed, it hit the nail on the head concerning a Christian's attitude and behavior in a fallen world. i highly recommend the book. Deep and easy to understand!! Great book for anyone- non believers, believers that just started the faith journey, and old believers that has been in a journey for while- it helps us to be a good influence without compromising our faith. Another great book by Hodges I admit that I am a fan of Chris Hodges and the amazing movement he is leading with Church of the Highlands, the Association of Related Churches, and the Grow Network. I believe this book takes his talents to another level though as he walks the reader through the book of Daniel and unveils how he navigated through culture and continued to stand firm and love well in his turbulent times. I love how Chris approaches each topic with grace and personal conviction without sacrificing either to get his point across. I fully recommend this for any Christian, Pastor, or church leader who is looking for ancient wisdom to guide them through today.

All Things New Audiobook by John Eldredge

Title: All Things New Subtitle: Heaven, Earth, and the Restoration of Everything You Love Author: John Eldredge Narrator: John Eldredge Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 2 mins Language: English Release date: 09-26-17 Publisher: Thomas Nelson Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 131 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: New York Times best-selling author John Eldredge offers listeners a breathtaking look into God's promise for a new heaven and a new Earth. This revolutionary book about our future is based on the simple idea that, according to the Bible, heaven is not our eternal home - the New Earth is. As Jesus says in the Gospel of Matthew, the next chapter of our story begins with "the renewal of all things", by which he means the Earth we love in all its beauty, our own selves, and the things that make for a rich life: music, art, food, laughter, and all that we hold dear. Everything shall be renewed "when the world is made new". More than anything else, how you envision your future shapes your current experience. If you knew that God was going to restore your life and everything you love any day, if you believed a great and glorious goodness was coming to you - not in a vague heaven but right here on this Earth - you would have a hope to see you through anything, an anchor for your soul, "an unbreakable spiritual lifeline, reaching past all appearances right to the very presence of God" (Hebrews 6:19). Most Christians (most people, for that matter) fail to look forward to their futures because their view of heaven is vague, religious, and frankly boring. Hope begins when we understand that for the believer nothing is lost. Heaven is not a life in the clouds; it is not endless harp strumming or worship singing. Rather, the life we long for, the paradise Adam and Eve knew, is precisely the life that is coming to us. And that life is coming soon. Members Reviews: Hope. Wonder. Anticipation. Life. Never disappointed with John's books. As with others, this book is like the bridge on his grandfather's ranch: full of beauty and adventure that connects me with Jesus. Thanks, John! Stunning! This book is just glorious and oh so personally timely... A must read for everyone!! inspiring and renewing John Eldredge is the perfect narrator for this book. His excitement and enthusiasm are contagious and help carry you forward. I found myself laughing and crying but most importantly imaging what God has planned for me. Wonderful! John is once again spoke directly to my heart, wonderfully eye-opening, much to think about Read this book What an amazing view, based in scripture, Eldredge gives! The promises of God being fulfilled and given so richly to those who are Gods children. Eldredge helps to paint what we, as believers, will be doing for all of eternity, and it is not just sitting on a cloud singing.

Title: The Processes Subtitle: Ask and It Is Given, Volume 2 Author: Esther Hicks, Jerry Hicks Narrator: Jerry Hicks Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 26 mins Language: English Release date: 08-01-05 Publisher: Hay House Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 785 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: As you listen, you'll discover powerful processes that will help you go with the positive flow of life. It's your birthright to live a life filled with everything that is good, and this audio program will show you how to make it so in every way! Members Reviews: Disappointing Jerry Hicks does an monotone, lifeless reading of their book, which is the opposite of the energetic recordings where Esther/Abraham are talking. Like other reviewers mentioned, there is no insert/handout attached - he refers to this with each process and I would suggest that Audible makes this available as a text download. I have the book and other than a reinforcement of the book material, I am disappointed in this audio version. I am also disappointed that the Hicks chose to break this into two separate recordings; I purchased other audiobooks from Hay House from Audible, no other authors make you pay twice for one book. You gotta try this! A friend referred me to Abraham-Hicks a couple of months ago, and sent me to the website. I watched, but wasn't sold. I decided to give it another try and listened to "Ask and It Is Given" which is part I to this part II (see my review of the first part). After that, I couldn't WAIT to get "The Processes", and this does not disappoint. What you are asked to do to integrate the teachings into your life isn't difficult nor does it demand too much, and it DOES help you find a way back to your happy place. Give it a try and see if it doesn't help. My Favorite So Far I've listened to many of the Hicks audio books, and this one is my favorite so far. Jerry offers some real techniques that can be used to incorporate Abraham's teachings. Practical Application: Self Diagnosis and Cure As a big fan of this whole series by Esther and Jerry Hicks I felt (very briefly and possibly oversimplified) that the whole 2 Part series covered all the bases, with reinforcement on key areas, but that Part 2 especially offered a whole lot in the way of self-diagnosis (Emotional Guidance Scale) and finding the cure (22 Proven Processes). It tied a lot of things together and if you're a fan of the workshop it gives you all kinds of fun things to try out... thus breathing fresh air into that process alone. I'll admit that Esther is the better speaker, but I found Jerry (may he rest in peace) very soothing. However you should NOTE that I found it more effective to have the book version as well because I felt I needed the Emotional Guidance Scale (that they refer to constantly) in writing and I also appreicated having the written version of the 22 processes. I wrote to Audible and these sections they refer to as inserts were not provided in pdf format. That could have been extremely helpful, but the online version of the book is very reasonably priced. Enjoy Phenominal I can honestly say this has changed my entire way of thinking! I am so excited about reading / hearing the next few books in the series. I found it to be life changing and uplifting. You truly can solve any problem in your life, and turn it all around! This book is about hope and guidance. Bravo!

Translating God Audiobook by Shawn Bolz

Title: Translating God Subtitle: Hearing God's Voice for Yourself and the World Around You Author: Shawn Bolz Narrator: Greg Simms Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 47 mins Language: English Release date: 12-12-16 Publisher: ICreate Productions Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 327 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Translating God serves as an inspirational guide book that puts God's great love back into prophetic ministry as a primary goal full of real life stories that articulate the culture of love behind God's heart for the prophetic. So much of the prophetic ministry is esoteric and a free-for-all in which people throw down the God card on anything they feel, but this book brings balance without taking away the desire to see the powerful nature of God displayed. On top of that, it's biblically based and is supported by scripture throughout each story, driving home the book's message of activating the ability to hear God's voice for each listener. Through a thought-provoking prophetic ministry philosophy and Shawn's glorious successes and very real failures, you will be inspired and equipped to: As an internationally known prophetic voice who has ministered to thousands - from political leaders to those on the streets - Shawn shares everything he has learned about the prophetic in a way that is totally unique and refreshing. Shawn aims for the higher goal of loving people relationally, not just pursuing the gift or information, and he activates you to do the same. Start to reshape the world around you with God's love today. Members Reviews: Great book! I love how the author makes hearing from or translating God seem very simple. great job! your heart is the key a wonderful book, easy to read and understand. I learned more how to use my heart to prophecy, communicate and connect to God. I will definitely recommend it and also read the book again. Love Eva One of the Most Powerful Books I've Read This book is much like our faith, simple yet profound. Shawn has done an excellent job of taking the weird out of the prophetic and placing the emphasis back on hearing the voice of God. There is so much to say about this book, but i will not be the one to say it. I will be too busy reading through it again. Gods heart is revealed in the prophetic In Translating God, Shawn will take you through the fact that the prophetic operates by love, just like faith does, because it requires faith or risk to share Gods heart with others. Youll also learn that God is not only speaking to Christians, but rather to everyone, and Christians can help bring others into a closer relationship with God as were supposed to be His friends and understand His heart for humanity. Ive read the book and listened to the Audiobook, and will do the exercises form the workbook because we all need to practice sharing Gods heart with many others who are desperate to know that Hes speaking to them (which He has already done in many instances). BTW, youll learn that this is a walk we must all take so we dont reject the prophetic altogether because we will all make mistakes translating His heart at times, but that means were growing and theres room for humility in the process of helping others know that He hears them and is speaking to them. Love covers a multitude of sins. This will challenge your theology but youll end up finding it its all biblical after all. Ive seen Shawn minister and he does it with precision yet with humility and love because he wants to reveal to those present Gods heart and teach a whole generation how to go about doing the same. Thank you Shawn for challenging us to walk in a closer friendship with the Lord. Pierre A.

Title: 7 Lessons from Heaven Subtitle: How Dying Taught Me to Live a Joy-Filled Life Author: Mary C. Neal MD Narrator: January LaVoy Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 32 mins Language: English Release date: 09-19-17 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 93 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: In this inspired follow-up to her million-selling To Heaven and Back, Dr. Mary Neal shares untold stories about her encounters with Jesus and powerful insights about how the reality of heaven can make each day magnificent. Dr. Mary Neal's unforgettable account of a 1999 kayaking accident that took her life, and what happened next, has riveted more than a million listeners. But something happened as she shared her story in the years since. Not only did Neal realize she had more to tell, she discovered she had yet to answer the biggest question of all: How does knowing heaven is real change our lives on Earth? "I have never finished speaking at a venue, including corporate settings, without people wanting to know more," says Dr. Neal. In 7 Lessons From Heaven, Neal takes listeners deeper into her experience, which includes encounters with angels, a journey to a "city of light", and what it was like to meet Jesus face to face. Even more, Neal shares how she was sent back with the absolute knowledge that the God we hope for - the one who knows us, loves each of us as though we are the only one, and wants us to experience joy in our daily life - is real and present. She offers practical insights and inspiration for how each of us can experience this God every day and begin living without regret, worry, anxiety, or fear. Critic Reviews: "Mary Neal is the sort of friend - and doctor - we all want to have. Compassionate, kind, thorough, knowledgeable, healing in the best sense of the word. In her newest book, she calls on all of those gifts to explain the unexplainable and show how the heavenly impacts earth." (Rick Hamlin, executive editor, Guideposts magazine and author of Pray for Me) "In 7 Lessons from Heaven, Dr. Mary Neal shares more about her inspiring near death experience and God's profound love for us. Her powerful testimony and the practical advice she gives on accepting God's love, forgiveness, and trusting Him completely is life-changing and should not be missed." (Immaculee Ilibagiza, best-selling author of Left to Tell and Led by Faith) Members Reviews: Eye opening I've been a believer for a very long time but couldn't shake the fear of death, no matter how much faith I had. Dr.Mary Neal is an expert witness to what lies beyond the world we know. This book has helped calm my fears and has helped be to learn to give God "perfect trust" . I now can read the Scriptures with new eyes and realize God does have a plan for me. Also He can work through all circumstances in my life, good and bad. Thank you Dr. Neal for giving me my life back. WOW! TRULY INSPIRING AND INSURING! Truly GREAT book that warms the Heart and praises the greatness and lovingness of our GOD and the LORD Jesus Christ! Had me in tears at times! Beautiful and Encouraging Couldn't put it down until I finished. It is as though it were written just for me. Thank You For Sharing I became lost of what were the seven lessons. Perhaps information overload. i understand the authors personal reasons for trying to cover everything possible and the compelling reason to try to cover any and or all questions that a reader or interested party might have so it is hard to complain about the information overload.

Ragamuffin Gospel Audiobook by Brennan Manning

Title: Ragamuffin Gospel Author: Brennan Manning Narrator: Scott Brick Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 42 mins Language: English Release date: 02-12-09 Publisher: christianaudio.com Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 588 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Many believers feel stunted in their Christian growth. We beat ourselves up over our failures and, in the process, pull away from God because we subconsciously believe He tallies our defects and hangs His head in disappointment. In this new edition - now with a foreword by Michael W. Smith, testimony by Rich Mullins and the author's own epilogue, "Ragamuffin Ten Years Later," Brennan Manning reminds us that nothing could be further from the truth. The Father beckons us to Himself with a "furious love" that burns brightly and constantly. Only when we truly embrace God's grace can we bask in the joy of a gospel that enfolds the most needy of His flock - the "ragamuffins." Members Reviews: JUST AS WE ARE, NOT AS WE 'SHOULD' BE Manning is a former Roman Catholic priest who left the priesthood to marry. He has recently divorced his wife. He is a recovering alcoholic who lapses every so often. He is a product of pop-psychology and Roman Catholic mystics rather than Scripture. He is on the cutting edge of the contemplation prayer movement which is steadily leading evangelicals toward Eastern mysticism. He is questionably a universalist who has nothing good to say about the church but adores AA. Yet somehow he is all the rage among many evangelicals. Wait a minute. Whats wrong here? I just finished reading THE RAGAMUFFIN GOSPEL, Brennan Mannings intensely intimate sharing about Gods unconditional love for sinners the broken, the lost, the bedraggled, the hopeless, the burnt-outs and the cast-offs and found myself wondering why he is the target of such attacks. After all, I consider RAGAMUFFIN as a life-changer, and am anxious to reread it and experience chapter 19, Mercies: A Spiritual Retreat. Surely this man is not the heretic portrayed by Dr. Gary Gilley. A click quick to Wikipedia, and I found a more objective perspective: Born and raised in Depression-era New York City, Manning finished high school, enlisted in the US Marine Corps, and fought in the Korean War. When Manning returned to the United States, he enrolled at Saint Francis University in Loretto, Pennsylvania. Upon his graduation from the seminary in 1963, Manning was ordained a Franciscan priest. In the late 1960s, Manning joined the Little Brothers of Jesus of Charles de Foucauld, a religious institute committed to an uncloistered, contemplative life among the poor. Manning transported water via donkey, worked as a mason's assistant and a dishwasher in France, was imprisoned (by choice) in Switzerland, and spent six months in a remote cave somewhere in the Zaragoza desert. In the 1970s, Manning returned to the United States and began writing after confronting his alcoholism. Oh so Manning does seem to be hornless, responsible, even loving. Apparently Dr. Gilley is one in an opposition army that sees Manning as a threat to the stale Christianity of business as usual. But the former priests impressive bibliography of twenty-two bestselling books is, perhaps, indicative of a militia sustaining the same if not greater strength. People dont buy books simply because they are decorative. The thesis of THE RAGAMUFFIN GOSPEL is that Gods love for all of us is relentless intensely raging through Jesus Christ who unabashedly loves us ragamuffins.

The Weight of Glory Audiobook by C. S. Lewis

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 611 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Selected from sermons delivered by C. S. Lewis during World War II, these nine addresses show the beloved author and theologian bringing hope and courage in a time of great doubt.

(New York Times Book Review) Members Reviews: Indispensible Lewis Would you consider the audio edition of The Weight of Glory to be better than the print version? Both are wonderful Since Weight of Glory was a sermon - it's great to hear it. What was one of the most memorable moments of The Weight of Glory? Lewis's logic in Why I am not a Pacifist What about Ralph Coshams performance did you like? easy to understand and done with appropriate emotion.

Love this book This is a book I will listen to over and over and over again. I've never read an author who could say so much with so few words. Thought provoking and deeply encouraging Wonderful selection of Lewis' writings, full of encouragement and deep thought. The title essay is particularly valuable and made me long to know Jesus better. Amazing If you could sum up The Weight of Glory in three words, what would they be? This book can change your life, this is CS Lewis at his finest. What was one of the most memorable moments of The Weight of Glory? First chapter What about Ralph Coshams performance did you like? The perfect voice of CS Lewis Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? No Any additional comments? Greatness

Title: One Thousand Gifts Subtitle: A Dare to Live Fully Right Where You Are Author: Ann Voskamp Narrator: Ann Voskamp Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 57 mins Language: English Release date: 01-25-11 Publisher: Zondervan Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 647 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Just like you, Ann Voskamp hungers to live her one life well. Forget the bucket lists that have us escaping our everyday lives for exotic experiences. "How", Ann wondered, "do we find joy in the midst of deadlines, debt, drama, and daily duties? What does the Christ-life really look like when your days are gritty, long - and sometimes even dark? How is God even here?' In One Thousand Gifts, Ann invites you to embrace everyday blessings and embark on the transformative spiritual discipline of chronicling God's gifts. It's only in this expressing of gratitude for the life we already have, we discover the life we've always wanted... a life we can take, give thanks for, and break for others. We come to feel and know the impossible right down in our bones: we are wildly loved - by God. Let Ann's beautiful, heart-aching stories of the everyday give you a way of seeing that opens your eyes to ordinary amazing grace, a way of being present to God that makes you deeply happy, and a way of living that is finally fully alive. Come live the best dare of all! Members Reviews: This book will change your life. I requested this book to be on Audible. Don't know if my request is the reason it's here, but I'm so grateful they got it so fast. I've known about it for nearly two months, and anxiously waited for it to be released in hardback. Couldn't stand the wait and bought it on Kindle, read it in one day, then immediately started over, so I can savor every drop. I pre-ordered 6 copies to share, and I'll be ordering 10 more this weekend. I cannot get enough of this book. The day it was released, it was #12 on the Amazon bestseller list, and now, 10 days later, it has over 150 5 star reviews. This book cannot adequately be described; it truly must be experienced. It teaches how learning to accept all of the events in our lives with gratitude brings God's spirit to us and us closer to Him. You'll read it (and/or listen to it, as the case may be), and then you'll read it again and again. Do yourself a BIG favor and get this book. You can thank me later. :) Absolute Must Read The book was beautifully written and thoughtfully narrated, and the "project" was meticulously undertaken. I appreciated the author's honest account and that she didn't try to fool us into believing that every aspect of this was easy or wonderful. I loved the glimpse into her personal life while sticking to the point. If I could buy a copy for every woman I know, I would. Do yourself a favor and read this, then allow yourself to sink deeply into "Eucharisteo" and see if you aren't transformed just as much as the author. Absolutely delightful. life changing! If you could sum up One Thousand Gifts in three words, what would they be? Deep, transforming, honest What did you like best about this story? The journey of transformation Which character as performed by Ann Voskamp was your favorite? Ann, the main character Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? I cried many times because of the tragedy and post traumatic effects on the author, and the eventual victory and triumph was truly inspiring. This book changed my life. What did you like best about this story? I liked the way it made you see God in the ordinary moments in life.

Unoffendable Audiobook by Brant Hansen

Title: Unoffendable Subtitle: How Just One Change Can Make All of Life Better Author: Brant Hansen Narrator: Brant Hansen Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 21 mins Language: English Release date: 08-28-15 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 525 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: It's a radical, provocative idea: We're not entitled to get offended or stay angry. The idea of our own "righteous anger" is a myth. It is the number-one problem in our societies today and, as Dallas Willard says, Christians have not been taught out of it. As it turns out, giving up our "right" to be offended can be one of the most freeing, healthy, simplifying, relaxing, refreshing, stress-relieving, encouraging things we can do. In Unoffendable, listeners will find something of immeasurable value - a concrete, practical way to live life with less stress. They'll adjust their expectations to fit human nature and replace perpetual anger with refreshing humility and gratitude. Through the author's winsome, humorous, and conversational style, this book doesn't add another thing to do on a stressed-out person's ever-growing list. Unoffendable actually seeks to lift religious burdens from our backs and allow us to experience the joy of gratitude, perhaps for the first time, every single day of our lives. Critic Reviews: "[A] charming handbook for the contemporary Christian that will also find its audience among pastors." (Library Journal) Members Reviews: Witty and challenging As a person who gave their life to Jesus at a young age and in ministry for 20 years, I was challenged and humbled as I listened to Unoffendable. The gospel came to life, with the fresh reminder that my standing with God has nothing to do with me, and everything to do with Jesus. Through vivid illustrations and humorous whit Hanson reminds us that the gospel helps us see people as God sees them and frees us from the need to judge! A must read for anyone who wants to grow in loving others and living with freedom and joy. very inspirational I loved listening to this book. it has just the right amount of humor mixed in with inspirational quotes and scripture. I will definitely be reading or listening to this book again! life altering Brant has packed this book with an honest life changing truth... stop being so offendable. Truth. How refreshing. Thank you, Brant. You nailed it. Suffered some conviction. Cried a strange mix of happy-sad tears. But mostly smiled & laughed... a lot. God is so good and His truth is so liberating. "As a result, we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming; but speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, even Christ, from whom the whole body, being fitted and held together by what every joint supplies, according to the proper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself in love." - Ephesians 4:14-16 (NASB) Fantastic Listen and Personally Challenging I tend toward books narrated by the author as they alone know how to emphasize and pace their reading of their own writing. Since Brant is a radio personality, his voice and style is well developed and suited for audio books. The book continues to present me with personal challenges long after having finished it. On many parts, I rewound to relisten as he was going too deep into my spirit for a casual listen.

How To Memorize The Bible Fast And Easy Audiobook by Adam Houge

Title: How To Memorize The Bible Fast And Easy Author: Adam Houge Narrator: David Golightly Format: Unabridged Length: 59 mins Language: English Release date: 12-24-14 Publisher: Living Tree Publishing Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 348 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Have you ever struggled in your meditation time? Would you like a real working method that will help you know yourbible like the back of your hand? In this book you will discover a detailed but simple method that will propel your ability to memorize scripture beyond anything you ever thought possible. Members Reviews: Unprofessional and not written with integrity Any additional comments? This is an actual quote from the book: "Work on the first verse, then when you have it down work on the second verse, then the third. Go back and test yourself by trying to recall all three in order." Rocket science, this is not. But this doesn't really bother me as much as the author's attitude. What I found absolutely unnecessary in this book is his constant lecture about "those so-called Bible memory experts" (his words, not mine). Instead of acknowledging the numerous memory methods available, the author belittles these people - whoever they are - over and over again. I bought this to hear his theory, not to hear how his "Spirit-led method" is far superior to anything else available. In my experience, and I hope Adam reads this, a confident person needs not step on others to prove his method. Such tactics only serve to discredit you and make me as the reader lose faith in your character and subsequently, your message. Nothing new Summary of the book: If you are a good Christian you're going to do this - spends about half the time trying to convince you to do it when you've already bought the book. The author next tells you why he's cornered the market on this and how anyone else is just prideful and doesn't apply the Bible, but he's not prideful and he does apply it. Let the spirit lead you and use the same techniques that have been taught for thousands of years, and just do it. I just saved your time and money. Arrogant hype Would you try another book from Adam Houge and/or David Golightly? No Any additional comments? The book promises to discuss how to memorize the Bible. Very little time is spent discussing HOW to memorize the Bible, and a lot of time is spent telling the reader we OUGHT to memorize the Bible. But hey, I bought the book -- I already committed to the idea that I ought to memorize more Bible -- I want the "how" explained. The few minutes given to the HOW did not offer anything new. There were also many personal digs from the author at others in his movement who have attempted to teach how to memorize the Bible. of course, his way is not only best in his view, but more holy. It is a do not ! Horrible voice sounds robotic and the book itself is horrible. He keep repeating that we should memorize the bible, because God wants so that it is important etc, etc but he does not teach anything on how to do so! Just terrible Not really tell me how to memorize Seemed like it was just shaming me into memorizing the Bible and praying that I would get some sort of understand and if I didn't have it don't bother

Cold-Case Christianity Audiobook by J. Warner Wallace

Title: Cold-Case Christianity Subtitle: A Homicide Detective Investigates the Claims of the Gospels Author: J. Warner Wallace Narrator: Bill DeWees Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 31 mins Language: English Release date: 02-17-13 Publisher: Oasis Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 657 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: You can believe because of the evidence, not in spite of it. For the first 35 years of his life, J. Warner Wallace was a devout atheist. After all, how can you believe a claim made about an event in the distant past for which there is little forensic evidence? Then Wallace realized something. Christianity was a lot like the cold cases he solved as a homicide detective - cold cases that turned out to have enough evidence, eyewitnesses, and records to solve. When Wallace applied his skills as an expert detective to the assertions of the New Testament, he came to a startling realization: the case for Christianity was as convincing as any case he'd ever worked as a detective. Members Reviews: Comprehensive, rational, intellectually satisfying Any additional comments? Wow. I am stunned how solid this authors reasoning is. I picked this up mildly interested thinking it was a repackaging of the "case for..." books, but wow, I was delightfully wrong! His discussions are fascinating weaving in experiences from his detective career, but more importantly, he enumerates threads of reasoning with such precision, accuracy, and integrity of thought that I can't merely say this book was intellectually satisfying...this book is a intellectually majestic! I am a student of truth where ever I find it...science or faith...whatever holds up to my own honest scrutiny and I purposely keep an open mind letting reasonable new evidence in. On my journey I have have become an open follower of Jesus. I also believe in evolution, really old universe etc... I have plenty of questions about the Bible although as a massive collection of epic literature tracing the evolution of human consciousness through time...it continues to grow on me. These positions are tough in our sound bite self righteous culture. I've devoured all sorts of material regarding the tensions and controversy between science and faith. I've been particularly impressed by Bart Ehrman's prodigious work (against faith btw) and the powerful insights from Andy Stanley(gotta check him out) and Dr Bill Creasy, but this author brings something truly unique to this thought space. I never thought a case this strong could be made for belief. Regardless of which side of the fence you currently are on, for you who honestly search for understanding, I think you'll love the examination of evidence and the considerations of the many explanations. Marty Essential reading for the Christian apologist. The way that Wallace relates police techniques for gathering and evaluating evidence to biblical evidence makes this an easy book to read. I especially liked the Chain of Custody chapters that explain biblical evidence that is not known by most Christians today. Good to know. a good book to read for anyone interested in defending the faith or just Bible credibility. May be the best apologetics book Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? This book has some of the best apologetics on Biblical historicity and New Testament authenticity that I have ever read. Really examines the evidence as if a detective was examining a crime. What did you like best about this story? To me one of the best parts was the part about the early Church Fathers. Who they were and what they did. Although not exhaustive, it is important to note and have not found it in other books.

God, Faith, and Reason Audiobook by Michael Savage

Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/380/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: God, Faith, and Reason Author: Michael Savage Narrator: Lorenzo De Leon Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 33 mins Language: English Release date: 11-14-17 Publisher: Hachette Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 112 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: For decades Michael Savage has been preaching his political faith of borders, language, and culture to millions on his nationally syndicated radio show, The Savage Nation. Now Savage gives his audience a look into his religious faith and his ideas about the Judeo-Christian foundation of the American culture he has fought all his life to preserve. But rather than a dry, theological treatise, Savage provides something more akin to an ancient mystery text. Drawing on Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, and other spiritual sources as well as autobiographical material and highlights from his radio show, Savage shares a series of glimpses of God he has experienced over the whole of his life, before and after his groundbreaking radio career. Moving childhood stories, his dinner with an atheist and a Buddhist, an interview with a Jewish gangster, and Savage's reflections on selected passages from ancient scriptures are just a few of the eclectic group of experiences and insights Savage shares in what is easily the most unique book on spirituality in decades. From his days as a boy growing up in New York City to many years searching for healing plants in the South Seas to his current incarnation as one of the most popular talk radio hosts in the world, Savage has been haunted by glimpses of the divine and struggled to find their meaning. Rather than trite, orthodox answers, God, Faith, and Reason presents the listener with one man's perceptions and consideration of the daily presence of God in the world around us and how the search to find God is the finding itself. Members Reviews: Michael needs to narrate his own books I loved the book and would buy his other books but I won't because he IS the voice and it's only obvious his listeners would want to hear his words from him. The narrator was great and did an excellent job but it's a no brainer here.. we want to hear Michael when audible listeners read his books!! G-d never left us; we left G-d Great book by Michael Savage. Ive been a listener of his for over 15 years and like many of his fans, consider him a kind of uncle. This book accounts Savages search for G-d as many of us do. My favorite part of the book are the biblical quotes and his explanation for why we cant see G-d, which I thought was a genius observation. Also, I listened to the Audiobook version and feel I missed out on the physical book. I would have liked to save some of the biblical quotes so I may go ahead and buy the book as well. The narrator did a very nice job and it was a very hard job considering that fans expect Savages distinct voice...but he did a good job nonetheless. Thank you Dr (Uncle) Savage for sharing all of your wisdom. I think like many of your fans I enjoy when you talk about subjects beyond politics. Keep up the great work! A lot to ponder Love Michael. It was hard to follow at times but correlating scripture with life experience is always interesting. A thought provocative book Beautifully written Sean Dr. Savage is the voice that America needs to hear more than ever. I listen to audiobooks at work but Im buying multiple copies as CHRISTMAS gifts to friends and family. God bless Dr. Savage Great book! More than I ever expected! Brother Mike. Haven't lived in Queens, but came up in the Bronx and Brooklyn. You really represent Thank you!!

The Abolition of Man & The Great Divorce Audiobook by C.S. Lewis

biacuaduc@gmail.com (C.S. Lewis) — Fri, 13 May 2005 16:03:38 GMT

Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/380/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Abolition of Man & The Great Divorce Author: C.S. Lewis Narrator: Simon Vance Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 27 mins Language: English Release date: 05-13-05 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 1391 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: In The Great Divorce, C.S. Lewis's classic vision of the Afterworld, the narrator boards a bus on a drizzly English afternoon and embarks on an incredible voyage through Heaven and Hell. He meets a host of supernatural beings far removed from his expectations, and comes to some significant realizations about the nature of good and evil. Critic Reviews: "These two short works by Lewis are a fine introduction to his eloquent writing, as well as his thought....Robert Whitfield's disciplined and well-modulated voice has an appealingly confident quality." (AudioFile) Members Reviews: IMHO, TGD is Lewis' Best Work of Fiction It is amazing that such a short work of fiction such as "The Great Divorce" can offer such tremendous insights into not only human nature, but also the question of "How can a loving God allow the existence of hell". I was absolutely blown away by this book when I was in my late teens/early twenties and now over twenty years later, it remains my favorite among Lewis' works of fiction and still ranks as one of the best 10 books I've ever read. Lewis' portrayal of hell is extremely fascinating, and in many ways unique, but the strength of the book, in my opinion, is the interaction between the ghosts (redeemed saints) and their former acquaintances from their days of life on earth. The three that stick most in my mind are the interactions of a murder victim with his murderer (with their present residences a reverse of what you would think), the discussion between two theologians who have come to very different perspectives, and a conversation with a mother who wrestles with forgiving God for the death of her young child. Besides being Lewis' best work of fiction, I also believe TGD is one of his most accessible among his works of fiction intended for adults. I cannot recommend "The Great Divorce" highly enough. While having "The Abolition of Man" is a great bonus, TGD is worth the price in and of itself. Two great (but quite different) gems from CSL "The Great Divorce" is an unfortunate title for our modern ears. It is a Dante-esque fantasy about a man's journey to Purgatory and/or Hell and then to the beginnings of Heaven. The title comes as a counter to the mistaken assertion that there is a possiblity of the marriage of Heaven and Hell. The narrator meets with several types of sinner and witnesses their encounters with angelic beings who give them every chance and encouragement to enter into heaven. Lewis (who is the narrator it would seem) meets up with his spiritual mentor (George MacDonald) and converses with him. How many of us hope that when our turn comes, C.S. Lewis will be there waiting for us? "The Abolition of Man" is a short, pithy, brilliant work, originally lectures, on the natural law and its necessity for good living. It is a pleasure to read/hear such solid, jargon-free prose expressing clearly and without dumbing-down such important ideas. Robert Whitfield, as usual, reads with clarity and elegance. Fascinating The Great Divorce was absolutely fascinating and held my attention to the very end. I loved the reader and the content challenged my traditional ideas about eternity. Great book. The Abolition of Man was a little weighty for me however.

I Don't Have Enough Faith to be an Atheist Audiobook by Norman Geisler

Title: I Don't Have Enough Faith to be an Atheist Author: Norman Geisler Narrator: Kate Reading Format: Unabridged Length: 14 hrs and 47 mins Language: English Release date: 01-07-10 Publisher: christianaudio.com Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 633 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist argues that Christianity requires the least faith of all worldviews because it is the most reasonable. The authors lay out the evidence for truth, God, and the Bible in logical order and in a readable, non-technical, engaging style. A valuable aid to those interested in examining the reasonableness of the Christian faith, Geisler and Turek provide a firm challenge to the prior beliefs of doubters and skeptics. Members Reviews: Facts on Faith Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes the book provides a plethora of supporting information on each contention or observation. Most people don't need all that data, but it is wonderful to have it all handy in one book when you do. What other book might you compare I Don't Have Enough Faith to be an Atheist to and why? The book, "How A Rocket Scientist Can Believe In God" actually covers all the same information in 10% of the space. It provides the logical arguments primarily, without as much of the other supporting evidence What does Kate Reading bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Her narration was excellent and easy to listen too. She provided the proper accent and emphasis to get the message across. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? I just enjoyed all the detail the authors provided to support their claims Any additional comments? Two areas were deficient but they were not part of the primary thesis: The comment that the Apostles changed the 7th day Sabbath to Sunday, was without any proof. However, clearly there is no proof of this, so the comment should have been left out. Also the discussion of the "Trinity" was no better than most other explanations in that it was clearly not at all convincing. Instead, I was impressed by the simple and in fact, bulletproof explanation of the Trinity elaborated on in the other book I mentioned above, "How A Rocket Scientist Can Believe In God". That is the only place I've seen a worthy explanation in print. Good Read Even for The Calvinists.... This was an excellent book. I've been cautioned to stay away from Norman Geisler by my Reformed friends. I finally got around to reading this book and its excellent. I am slightly annoyed that Geisler acts as though all of his arguments hinge on "Free Will". He goes out of God way to argue against Calvinistic doctrine which hurts his cause in this book. I'm a fan of this book overall. Thank You for writing a beneficial book that will equip the saints for years to come! Funny and compelling, I really enjoyed it. This is one of the most entertaining apologetics books I have ever read. It was not only compelling but it kept my interest. Faith of an Atheist? I believe there are 4 types of people in the world; those who believe in a creator, those who do not, those who are open to the possibility and a large apathetic group who don't care enough to invest time in answering the question. This book will solidify the beliefs of the first group, especially those who have committed their life Jesus. The second group will probably not finish listening because of the discomfort at having their world view called into question.

How to Be Filled with the Holy Spirit Audiobook by A. W. Tozer

Tozer Narrator: Tom Hatting Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 3 mins Language: English Release date: 02-02-16 Publisher: Oasis Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 281 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: "Are you sure you want to be possessed by a spirit other than your own? Even though that spirit be the pure Spirit of God? Even though he be the very gentle essence of the gentle Jesus? Even though he be wisdom personified, wisdom himself? Even though he be as loving as the heart of God?" (A. W. Tozer) This little audiobook is hard to swallow. In it, A. W. Tozer teaches plainly who the Spirit is and why we should desire him but why few of us do. He instructs us in how to be filled with the Spirit but first poses this question: Do you really want to be filled? Members Reviews: Excellent challenging book! I love how Toz prepares his readers by warning us that we might be ready to receive what God offers us. He is very honest and real in his writings and this book was full of difficult truths we need to settle with deep inside of us if were going to receive Gods offers. The Holy Spirit is loving The Holy Spirit is a person who loves and desires to be loved in return. love you Holy Ghost very helpful ask, and you shall receive, are you ready? The Third person in the Trinty Wow! CONVICTED!!!! That's literally all I can say. Blown away. This book has challenged me on another level. A Limited "How to" Book Tozer is still a good read, but what he has to say is more subjective from his own personal experience and knowledge. That is how such things are written, except this one is titled "how to," and that tends to limit the possibility of experiences other than that which he explores. There are a great many other books and writings about being filled with the Holy Spirit, some of which are more helpful, some of which are more personal and less like a recipe manual for spirituality.

Institutes of the Christian Religion Audiobook by John Calvin

Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/380/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Institutes of the Christian Religion Author: John Calvin Narrator: Bob Souer Format: Unabridged Length: 67 hrs and 6 mins Language: English Release date: 10-25-13 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 160 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Institutes of the Christian Religion is John Calvin's seminal work on Protestant systematic theology. Highly influential in the Western world and still widely read by theological students today, it was published in Latin in 1536 and in his native French in 1541. The book serves as an introductory textbook on the Protestant faith for those with some previous knowledge of theology and covers a broad range of theological topics from the doctrines of church and sacraments to justification by faith alone and Christian liberty. It vigorously attacks teachings which Calvin considered unorthodox, particularly Roman Catholicism to which Calvin says he had been "strongly devoted" before his conversion to Protestantism. The overarching theme of the book - and Calvin's greatest theological legacy - is the idea of God's total sovereignty, particularly in salvation and election. Institutes of the Christian Religion is highly-regarded as a secondary reference for the system of doctrine adopted by the Reformed churches, which is commonly referred to as Calvinism. Members Reviews: A Must Read/Listen For Reformed Christians! What did you love best about Institutes of the Christian Religion? That's a difficult question to answer. The Institutes are much easier to understand than I thought. I thought this was only to be read by theologians, but as a lay person, it's very easy to understand. Bob Souer did an excellent job of narrating! So, his smooth voice and even levels made it enjoyable to listen to. Good job Bob! What did you like best about this story? This is a non fiction book, so, it's not a story.... Which scene was your favorite? I loved the Doctrines of Grace and Calvin's writing on prayer. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? No, because it runs 67 hours :) But I listen to it several times a week. Any additional comments? Wonderful narration! This book is not for everyone. I would highly suggest that people who are leery of "Calvinisn"--read this book, or any book that Calvin writes. It's very Biblical. It changed me from a Synergist to a Monergist. I am sold that the Doctrines of Grace are Biblical. Excellent voice for an excellent classic. If you could sum up Institutes of the Christian Religion in three words, what would they be? The Christian Faith Any additional comments? This audio split into 8 sections, but the chapters are split up quite well. Since the Institutes has a well-defined indexing (book:chapter:section), it shouldn't be too hard to jump to where you want to go. The narrator's voice was perfect for this text. Beautifully presented truth of the Christian religion There's no doubt that John Calvin understood the tenets of the Christian faith, and his exegesis of the scripture leaves very little doubt to the fact of his conclusions about its practice. I recommend this book to all Christians, especially to those who have had a tug in their hearts about teachings about Catholicism and other denominations that have let their fleshly understanding and religiosity take preeminence over the clear word of God and its simplicity. Reading the Bible would never be the same after reading this. You can tell Calvin was a lawyer You can see the Calvin had trained as a lawyer by his arguments. He is clear, brings to bear lots of evidence, and makes sure to refute all the counter arguments.

Title: God Secrets Subtitle: A Life Filled with Words of Knowledge Author: Shawn Bolz Narrator: Greg Simms Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 44 mins Language: English Release date: 06-13-17 Publisher: ICreate Productions Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 160 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: People are paying millions of dollars for information and understanding on matters like business, economics, and politics. God has the answers, and he has made his secrets discoverable to every seeking believer in a close relationship with him. Did you know you can grow in Words of Knowledge? Paul encourages believers in 1 Corinthians to follow after love and to eagerly desire the gifts of the Spirit. He would never tell us to pursue something or give us hope for certain gifts if we couldn't engage them! Words of Knowledge is one of the revelatory gifts that we can grow and strengthen just like any other spiritual gift. God loves to tell us specific information about people that we wouldn't naturally know on our own! God has been known to reveal birthdates, anniversaries, family nicknames, pet names, and even bank account numbers at times! The sharing of these personal details help us to develop trust and strong connection to the Lord. It produces faith to believe that God deeply loves us and that He truly does have plans to prosper us and give us hope for the future! Journey with Shawn as he lays out his understanding of this gift in a relatable way, and gain a fresh perspective on God's direction for your business, your household, your worldview, and your spiritual life. Members Reviews: Crucial understanding of "Words of Knowledge" We are in a period of church history in which the outpouring of the Holy Spirit is so powerful and vast we are at risk of missing it if we see it through the lens of past disappointment and skepticism. Shawn brings not only definition and understanding to how God is speaking today but he brings in scripture to reveal it is how God has always spoke to his people only in greater measure than ever before!!! What a Gift to the Body Of Christ I have to say that i love everything that Shawn writes and teaches. I have three of his books and numerous MP3 sets of his. I feel that he is one of the most loving Christians and well balanced teachers I have ever known. This book is a triumph for him and it must have come from a lot of writing and editing. As a writer myself, I know that you first have to know your message, live your message and then share your message in a way that can be easily understood. I have read 50 books on the prophetic and never tire of reading books on the subject, but Shawn seems to focus more on love in his teachings than the gift that he has. I know Shawn draws from his love relationship that he has with Jesus and he just pours that love out on people. He doesn't mind when he "misses" and his intention isn't to be right, his intention int he share Jesus' love with people, and in that intention he never misses. This book is full of great information and some great stores that have been used really well to illustrate his points. As a person that has prophesied for 20 years and who has written 4 books on the prophetic, I see Shawn as a person who is leading a new army of lovers.

If so, this audiobook is for you. It takes a tremendous amount of strength to overcome skepticism and weariness, and begin the work of healing a broken marriage. But just taking a look at this audiobook shows you have the heart of a fighter. In One More Try, Gary Chapman gives you the courage and confidence to move forward when your marriage is falling apart. One More Try will help you: The content of this book has been significantly revised and updated from its previous title, Hope for the Separated. Members Reviews: Ready to give up? Are you ready to give up on your marriage? If so, I highly encourage you to read this book before choosing to walk out. The end goal of a separation should be restoration not dissolution of a marriage. This book will help you walk through the difficult process of performing critical surgery on your marriage. Save Your Marriage Positive Read I love this book me and my husband are separated but it helps me spot my own weaknesses and helps me cope with what was once sadness. I really enjoy this book and it has helped me except myself and look to Jesus for help and to mold me to become a better person. Solid advice Super good advice. Although it is difficult, this book helped me to realize what some of the dysfunction is that I bring to my marriage and how I can improve, whether my wife will or not.

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 180 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: What will heaven be like? Randy Alcorn presents a thoroughly biblical answer, based on years of careful study, presented in an engaging, reader-friendly style. His conclusions will surprise listeners and stretch their thinking about this important subject. Heaven will inspire listeners to long for heaven while they're living on earth. Members Reviews: He went to prepare a place for us I loved this book. In the beginning I was skeptical. But as I listened and saw that it was all in line with scripture I was glad. The reader did a good job. The book I couldn't get enough. About a month after listening to "Heaven" I lost a friend who passed on to be with our Savior. What a comfort it was to think about where my friend is in detail. All I could be was happy for him. And I look forward to seeing him again. This book is such a comfort and hope because it points out the comfort and hope the Bible gives us that we often overlook or don't understand. Inspiring I was glad for the use of scripture to give weight to his insights. This is a great book to use with scripture to give insight into what heaven will be like. Excited! I cant wait to see my husband Paul again! He died 11 months ago. He has gone to heaven before me and Ill be there soon. I have so much to look forward too. Heavenly! I have looked for biblical evidence and descriptions of Heaven for years and years. I have meditated on the beauty that I know is heaven often. And then read many books. I think this book of Randy's, is the most concise and accurate biblical description of Heaven I have ever heard. Thank you Randy. Enjoy readers. Very good! I chose this book because I have AML and possibly only have a year to live. I have been a Christian for 36 years but really never gave heaven much thought. Knowing I will be there soon I decided to learn more . This book definitely gave me a longing for heaven!

Catholicism Audiobook by Robert Barron

Title: Catholicism Subtitle: A Journey to the Heart of the Faith Author: Robert Barron Narrator: Robert Barron Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 49 mins Language: English Release date: 05-05-12 Publisher: Servant Books Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 739 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Fr. Robert Barron's comprehensive work goes straight to the core of the Catholic faith. He first examines the foundations of Christ's incarnation, life and ministry, and then works through the essentials of the Catholic tradition: from sacraments, worship and prayer, to Mary and the saints, and on to salvation, heaven and hell. Throughout this epic journey, Fr. Barron uses art, literature, personal stories, Scripture, theology, philosophy and history to present a complete picture of the Church to the world. Critic Reviews: "Clarity, intelligence, passion and elegance...Father Barron brings all these gifts to bear in this extraordinary reflection on the Catholic faith." (Most Rev. Charles J. Chaput, OFM Cap., Archbishop of Philadelphia) Members Reviews: Beautiful Journey! It's almost always better to listen to an author reading his own book than to listen to a narrator who didn't write the book - Catholicism is one of those. Father Barron's own voice provides his own interpretation of the intent of each word - and it is a WONDERFUL listen! I have the video series and the audiobook covers the same points as the videos, minus the lush visuals, but containing all the same clarity and focus. The book is filled with apologiae - Biblical references, early Church Fathers -the Church speaks for herself from twenty centuries and she's still saying the same things she's always said. She's still true to the Bridegroom. Fr Barron is a great gift to the laity in our time, after so many years of muddled thinking and murky teachings - here is a firm voice of clarity and truth - but also kindness. No false ecumenism, no watering down of the faith passed on to us from the Apostles, but no snarky jabs at those who have been kept away from the Catholic Church by culture, by misunderstandings or even by other Catholics. Here is uncompromising truth. Thanks be to GOD! Father Barron is a compeling author and reader What made the experience of listening to Catholicism the most enjoyable? Father Robert Barron reads with style his own book which gives new insights to wake up a person's faith. Not just a standard catechism although it is truly authentic, but it is a fresh and compelling view of what Catholicism is and is not. The little pictures and stories collected here bring faith to life, presenting a real life picture of a startling, radical religion that is Catholicism. What about Robert Barrons performance did you like? Father Barron is a good reader and clearly believes what he has written and now reads. The tone is enthusiastic without false excitement, honest and refreshing. Any additional comments? If you want to really think out your faith, this is a great place to start. Love Shines Throughout Where does Catholicism rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Catholicism by Father Robert Barron is an exceptional nonfiction audiobook. Written and read by the author, I was struck by the sincere and loving text and inviting narration. Other reviewers have noted the contents very well and its relationship to the DVD series. If a listener would like to hear why Roman Catholicism continues to capture the hearts and minds of people today despite the glaring and truly sad headlines of these past years, this is an excellent place to start.

Title: The Divine Dance Subtitle: The Trinity and Your Transformation Author: Richard Rohr Narrator: Arthur Morey Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 13 mins Language: English Release date: 05-02-17 Publisher: Dreamscape Media, LLC Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 135 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: The Trinity is supposed to be the central doctrine grounding Christianity, yet we're often told that we shouldn't attempt to understand it because it's a mystery. But what if we breached that mystery? How might it transform our relationship with God? Although the word trinity isn't found in the New Testament - it wasn't until the third century that it was coined - the idea of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit was present in Jesus' life and teachings. In this book, internationally recognized teacher Richard Rohr circles around this paradoxical idea - and circling around is an apt metaphor: Early Christians applied the Greek verb for dance to the mystery of the Trinity, saying whatever is going on in God is a flow - it's like a dance. Members Reviews: Fantastic Richard Rohr is just one of the greatest communicators of difficult truth. I admire his courage Give thought to the Trinityy Rhor gives you something to ponder if you have not thought much about the Trinity or a new perspective if you have thought a lot about the Trinity Phenomenal! This book rescued the idea of Trinity after evangelical fundamentalism tainted it for me. I would've preferred Rohr's voice since I've grown quite attached to it, but the reader does a very good job. The Trinity as consant force. Mistics are hard to follow. Very interesting and I will listen again, very soon. the true connection the message is clear , direct, understandable and greatly needed . A wonderful explanation of the journey

Unashamed Audiobook by Christine Caine

Title: Unashamed Subtitle: Drop the Baggage, Pick Up Your Freedom, Fulfill Your Destiny Author: Christine Caine Narrator: Jay O'Shea Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 57 mins Language: English Release date: 05-10-16 Publisher: Zondervan Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 519 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Shame can take on many forms. It hides in the shadows of the most successful, confident, and high-achieving woman who struggles with balancing her work and children as well as in the heart of the broken, abused, and downtrodden woman who has been told that she will never amount to anything. Shame hides in plain sight and can hold us back in ways we do not realize. But Christine Caine wants listeners to know something: We can all be free. "I know. I've been there," writes Christine. "I was schooled in shame. It has been my constant companion from my very earliest memories. I see shame everywhere I look in the world, including in the church. It creeps from heart to heart, growing in shadowy places, feeding on itself so that those struggling with it are too shamed to seek help from shame itself." In Unashamed, Christine reveals the often hidden consequences of shame - in her own life and the lives of so many Christian women - and invites you to join her in moving from a shame-filled to a shame-free life. In her passionate and candid style, Christine leads you into God's word, where you will see for yourself how to believe that God is bigger than your mistakes, your inadequacies, your past, and your limitations. He is not only more powerful than anything you've done but also stronger than anything ever done to you. You can deal with your yesterday today so that you can move on to what God has in store for you tomorrow - a powerful purpose and destiny he wants you to fulfill. Join the journey. Lay ahold of the power of Jesus Christ today, and step into the future - his future for you, a beautiful, full, life-giving future where you can even become a shame lifter to others. Live unashamed! Members Reviews: Great book, boring narrated. Christine Caine is such a dynamic speaker with a dynamic story! Too bad her wonderful story was saddled with such a flat-lined narration. Disappointing... Life changing I want everyone to read this one! I didn't even know I struggled with shame. Life changing! Hope filled! DISAPPOINTING What did you like best about Unashamed? What did you like least? The video's on the online bible study by Faithway. What was most disappointing about Christine Caines story? It's very simplistic approach. I expected more than the same clichéd stuff that has been floated throughout the Christian community for years. God doesn't waste a hurt, wilderness wandering, etc. This book needed more of Christine's personal stories. I felt like the book held the reader at arm's length. Do you think Unashamed needs a follow-up book? Why or why not? Yes. I think this book would be great for teen & pre-teen study groups. Adult women need a lot more. Any additional comments? I bought the audio. The study guide. Then did the online bible study. The best stuff was written by the gal leading the online study with Faithway. Her stories were great! I wish she had written the book. A must read for everyone This book is so well written on a subject everyone suffers from, but rarely discussed. Christine gives definition to shame then ways to overcome it. Then caution to realize it can snap back at any time. There is hope, healing and power within her God-given words.

So begins this powerful volume from Dr. Tony Evans. Tony believes that God wants every man to be a world changer. He skillfully takes listeners along a journey through the principles of biblical manhood, exploring how those who live, work, and minister around a kingdom man benefit from his leadership and care. Men will be challenged to fully understand their positions under God as well as their positions over what God has given them. Equipped with these concepts, they can actively pursue ways to maximize and develop the character qualities of biblical manhood in their lives. As Tony contends, the enemy doesn't want you to know it, but you're not the man you think you are. You're a whole lot more. Starting now, you can be a kingdom man. Members Reviews: Love this book I have listened to this book twice in one week. dr. Tony evens teaching has been a daily requirement in my life. HEART CHANGING TRUTH!!! Thank you so much for your blessing of this book. Your book has literally changed my heart in effort to be more Kingdom minded to serve our King Jesus Christ. I will recommended to EVERY MAN I meet.

Tony Evans did a great job reading And kept my attention throughout the whole book. must read and repeat must read and repeat in every Christian's library . great if all youth and young adults would embrace thiese learnings. Great book. I pray that every man listens too it. Great book. I pray that every man listen to and heed it's words. Praise the Lord.

Misreading Scripture with Western Eyes Audiobook by E. Randolph Richards, Brandon J. O'Brien

Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/380/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Misreading Scripture with Western Eyes Subtitle: Removing Cultural Blinders to Better Understand the Bible Author: E. Randolph Richards, Brandon J. O'Brien Narrator: Allan Robertson Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 49 mins Language: English Release date: 10-14-14 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 1000 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: What was clear to the original readers of Scripture is not always clear to us. Because of the cultural distance between the biblical world and our contemporary setting, we often bring modern Western biases to the text. For example: When Western readers hear Paul exhorting women to "dress modestly", we automatically think in terms of sexual modesty. But most women in that culture would never wear racy clothing. The context suggests that Paul is likely more concerned about economic modesty - that Christian women not flaunt their wealth through expensive clothes, braided hair, and gold jewelry. Some readers might assume that Moses married "below himself" because his wife was a dark-skinned Cushite. Actually, Hebrews were the slave race, not the Cushites, who were highly respected. Aaron and Miriam probably thought Moses was being presumptuous by marrying "above himself". Western individualism leads us to assume that Mary and Joseph traveled alone to Bethlehem. What went without saying was that they were likely accompanied by a large entourage of extended family. Biblical scholars Brandon O'Brien and Randy Richards shed light on the ways that Western readers often misunderstand the cultural dynamics of the Bible. They identify nine key areas where modern Westerners have significantly different assumptions about what might be going on in a text. Drawing on their own cross cultural experience in global mission, O'Brien and Richards show how better self-awareness and understanding of cultural differences in language, time, and social mores allow us to see the Bible in fresh and unexpected ways. Getting beyond our own cultural assumptions is increasingly important for being Christians in our interconnected and globalized world. Learn to read Scripture as a member of the global body of Christ. Members Reviews: Culture and assumptions matter Misreading Scripture With Western Eyes I think will become my new recommendation for the place to start when thinking about how we read and understand scripture. I have made a pretty concerted effort as a lay person to understand hermeneutics (the science and art of reading and understanding scripture) over the past half dozen years. Much of what I have read is oriented toward the academic, the theologian or the pastor. And I am glad I have read it. But books like that are not easy to recommend to an average reader that wants an overview, and doesnt have a good background in theology, biblical languages or history or linguistics. Misreading Scripture With Western Eyes is an introduction to cultural anthropology as much as it is an introduction to scripture. And this is really important. Some conservative Christians in their reaction against liberal cultural values also react against understanding different cultures and perspectives as post-modern. This often occurs not only in an attempt to uphold Christian values, but because some conservatives are also somewhat insular and have only been exposed to US American Culture. Because of that lack of exposure, we have fights about bible translations but most of us dont actually know another language or the basics of what it means to translate from one language to another.

Title: Play the Man Subtitle: Becoming the Man God Created You to Be Author: Mark Batterson Narrator: Mark Batterson Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 34 mins Language: English Release date: 05-02-17 Publisher: Oasis Audio Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 193 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Play the man. Make the man. Somewhere along the way, our culture lost its definition of manhood, leaving generations of men and men-to-be confused about their roles, responsibilities, and relationships and the reason God made them men. It's into this "no-man's-land" that New York Times best-selling author Mark Batterson declares his mantra for manhood: Play the man. In this inspiring call to something greater, he helps men understand what it means to be a man of God by unveiling seven virtues of manhood. Mark shares inspiring stories of manhood, including the true story of the hero and martyr Polycarp, who first heard the voice from heaven say, "Play the man". Mark couples those stories with practical ideas about how to disciple the next generation of men who will put God first, family second, and career third. This is more than an audiobook; it's a movement of men who will settle for nothing less than fulfilling their highest calling to be the men and the fathers God has destined them to be. Members Reviews: Solid read for any father. Solid read, I couldn't agree more that we are not making men in Western culture but cultivating a generation, as Pastor Matt Chandler would say, of boys who can shave. soooo gooood I flew through this book!! Batterson gently and confidently urges men to Play The Man! Excellent After reading and listening to this book, I am confident in saying this is a MUST have. To God be the glory! Play the man!!! Amazing. possibly the best one yet by Mark B. so glad I got to listen to this before my boys turn of age. plus a big eye opener for me as well. love it!! I feel like this book was the successor to Wild at Heart in a lot of ways. I can't believe how great and well thought out this book really is. I hope that many men will find this book and be encouraged by the words of Mark Batterson.

The Broken Way Audiobook by Ann Voskamp

Title: The Broken Way Subtitle: A Daring Path into the Abundant Life Author: Ann Voskamp Narrator: Jamiee Paul Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 22 mins Language: English Release date: 10-25-16 Publisher: Zondervan Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 273 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: How can it be? When we're naked and ashamed and alone in our brokenness, Christ envelops us with his intimate grace. When we're rejected and abandoned and shattered beyond wanting, Jesus cups our faces: "Come close, my beloved." When we're dirty and tear-stained and despairing, Jesus Christ proposes undying dying love: "All that you painfully are and are carrying - I'll take. All that I perfectly am and have is yours. Just take me." There is a wooing that washes our wounds. Falling into this intimacy with him is the one thing we pray to never recover from. This kind of intimacy can only be tasted and swallowed, and it burns a holy yes through our begging veins. Am I willing to take all that I have, break, and give to him? Because all that he is he broke and gave to us. Members Reviews: Book is probably excellent but narration is awful The book is probably amazing, I love Ann Voskamp but the narrator is painful to listen to. She has loud, sharp intakes of breath every 3 words. It is completely louder than her reading & doesn't give any more feeling to the narration but just distracts. I couldn't even get through the first chapter. Get the book on Kindle. So disappointed If you've ever heard Ann read her own writings or even speak, you won't be able to listen to this audible version. The narrator rips it to shreds. I couldn't even make it through the first chapter and I cringed the entire way. Ann writes like liquid, silk poetry. I'm sure the narrator did her best but Ann's work should only be read by her. Over the top dramatically read It was so over the top dramatically read that I was not able to listen to it. A shame because I suspect the content might have been quite good. Life Changing Ann Voskamp took me deep into the beliefs I held about brokenness. She has challenged the very core of the idea that we need to "heal" from our brokenness and instead challenges us to LIVE from our brokenness. In doing so, she also challenges the way we approach the brokenness we encounter in this world and in others. Jamie Paul's narration of this book added even more meaning to the words and the heart of Ann. I would recommend this book to anyone looking to discover more meaning and depth in this life we live. Read the hard copy book only The content of this book is wonderful so I plan to buy the tangible version. The audiobook suffers. I cannot get past the preachy voice to the content. I have tried to suffer through it because I love listening to books while I work. But the constant preachy tone and lack of sentence cadence is like listening to scratching on a chalkboard. The author is awesome, but please redo the audiobook.

Live On Purpose. Author: Lara Casey Narrator: Lara Casey Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 19 mins Language: English Release date: 12-30-14 Publisher: Thomas Nelson Publishers Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 277 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: You were created for a purpose, and it's time to make it happen. Make It Happen is the story of how I surrendered my fear, took the leap, and got a life. In my case, a perfectly imperfect, fulfilling life as a mama, a working woman, and a grateful wife. This is the story of how I chose to make "it" - a greater purpose than mine - happen, and how you can too. Make It Happen is for women who find themselves worried, anxious, and completely overwhelmed by the constant chase for perfection those seeking the courage to jump into a new venture working women who are struggling to "do it all" weary wives and moms looking for relief from burning the candle at both ends anyone who dreams of a life lived not by accident, but on purpose. Your time has come to take a leap of faith. Join me as we surrender our fears, end the chase for perfection, and say yes to cultivating the meaningful lives God desires for us. You know all those things you've always wanted to do? You should go do them. Members Reviews: Inspiring with a very tactful approach This book was much more than I expected. The author is also the narrator and she does a wonderful job sharing her stories of success and failures and how she personally learned to move forward. Casey really challenges you to dig at what is really down in your heart, getting at the root of your fears and hang ups. She gives you practical ways to tackle some of the most terrifying and intimidating things going on in your life and how to let God help you. She balances her action steps with scripture and offers many resources you can use (for free!) to help you get started. This is not a book to listen to in the car because Casey intentionally makes it interactive-encouraging you to journal and write what's on your heart throughout the entire book. While I was initially a little hesitant, and quite honestly reluctant, I gave way and dove all in to Casey's lead. This process proved to be much more than I ever realized I'd signed up for. This book challenges you to clean out the junk clogging your heart from God and other important relationships in your life. Casey helps give you the action steps and encouragement you need to let go of whatever is holding you back, arming you with God's word, and giving you the direction and encouragement you need to move forward in everything God has called you to and placed on your heart. Lara, I am very grateful you wrote this book, it found me right when I needed it. Thank you. This is Life-changing By far one of the best books ever! I'm actually going to listen to it again which I never do! I loved the very actionable items that Laura provided to fill our purpose! Thank you for sharing your story! May God bless you! NOT WHAT I EXPECTED This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? The Format was annoying. Every 2 seconds you were told to stop the recording and think about what she was saying. Then she wanted you to go to her website and watch some video. Would you be willing to try another one of Lara Caseys performances? No, I don't think so. I can't finish this... I read a few negative reviews but gave this a chance anyway...

I was supposed to use that season to spend time with God, grow, and rest in him - not step out on faith and try to do something out of his timing. How many of us are making "faith moves" when we are supposed to be resting? You will find yourself tired because you built something that wasn't even for you. Are you going through a silent season in your life right now? Do you feel stuck? Do you feel like doors keep closing but nothing is opening in your life? Do you feel rejected or forgotten? Do you feel like you can no longer hear the voice of God or like life has handed you a bad deck of cards? If so, this book is for you.

In this book you will learn: Members Reviews: Very Encouraging very encouraging, very useful information supported by scripture...a very beautiful and spiritual author....i look forward to reading/listening to more of her books Returned the audiobook but will get the paperback The reading wasn't good in my opinion. It didn't feel natural and was distracting. I tried to speed it up which helped a bit but it didn't help what felt like a forced emotional read. I ditched this audiobook but will get the actual book. The author is a great public speaker and I love her messages. Very helpful I didn't really know I needed this book at this moment. It has helped me to accept and come to grips with the season I am facing and precious ones. I know that in upcoming silent seasons I will be more prepared as to how I should handle because of the personal insight and reflection that Heather is able to portray. I appreciate her honest transparency and ability to communicate how to get through a silent season without being frustrated about it. If you are not in a silent season now I suggest you read it because there will come a point in time that you will need it. Spoke to me! Thank you Heather for allowing the Lord to use you, to reach me in this silent season Im currently in. The book was very well spoken and easy for me to understand and follow. I loved how you included scripture and biblical stories to relate it to life as we know it today and how you strongly encouraged and provided suggestions on how to grow closer to the Lord in this season. Thank you. I will be using this book as one of my references as I continue through my journey of cultivating my life and purpose while I walk with God through this :) Awesome & realistic. Truly enlightening Loved, Loved, LOVED this book! Truly Awesome! The Narration of the book was absolutely great!!

Dance, Stand, Run charts her discovery that holiness was never meant to be a shaming reminder of what we should be doing, but rather a profound privilege of becoming more like Christ. Thats when we start to change the world, rather than being changed by it. Dance, Stand, Run is an invitation to the daughters of God to step into the movements of abundant life: dancing in grace, standing firm in holiness, and running on mission. Through story and study, Jess casts a fresh vision for how to live into your identity as a holy daughter of God, how to break free of cheap grace and empty rule-keeping, and finally, how to live out your holy influence with confidence before a watching world. Spoiler alert: its a beautiful thing. For anyone longing to take their place in what God is doing in the world, Dance, Stand, Run will rally your strength, refresh your purpose, and energize your faith in a God who calls us to be like Him. In this audiobook narrated by the author, Jess Connolly, each chapter has been read and reviewed by important women in the authors life, and a special note is given to each of these women throughout the reading. Dance, Stand, Run was made as a collaborative work that was intended to be shared, and the audiobook is perfect for listening with the important people in your life. Members Reviews: I'm so sad I am done with this book! I needed to hear every moment of this book! God has deeply used this in my life! Wow! Life changing! I couldn't get enough of this book! Dance in grace, stand on holy ground, and run on mission. Prayers of my heart!! You need this book in your life. Jess, Thank you for writing this book. Like seriously, thank you. The timing and the message are perfect. I love hearing it told in your voice as well. I have the hard copy as well and last night I wouldnt let my husband fall asleep until I read him a few snippets while excitedly explaining how encouraged I am by them and how I cannot wait to go encourage others.

Foster Narrator: Richard Rohan Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 9 mins Language: English Release date: 01-24-07 Publisher: HarperAudio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 420 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Celebration of Discipline explores the "classic disciplines", or central spiritual practices, of the Christian faith. Along the way, Foster shows that it is only by and through these practices that the true path to spiritual growth can be found. Dividing the disciplines into three movements of the spirit, Foster shows how each of these areas contribute to a more balanced spiritual life. The inward disciplines of mediation, prayer, fasting, and study offer avenues of personal examination and change. The outward disciplines of simplicity, solitude, submission, and service prepare us to make the world a better place. The corporate disciplines of confession, worship, guidance, and celebration bring us nearer to one another and to God. Foster provides a wealth of examples demonstrating how these disciplines can become part of our daily activities and how they can help us shed our superficial habits and "bring the abundance of God into our lives". He offers crucial new insights on simplicity, demonstrating how the biblical view of simplicity, properly understood and applied, brings joy and balance to our inward and outward lives and "sets us free to enjoy the provision of God as a gift that can be shared with others". The discussion of celebration, often the most neglected of the disciplines, shows its critical importance, for it stands at the heart of the way to Christ. Celebration of Discipline will help motivate Christians everywhere to embark on a journey of prayer and spiritual growth. Critic Reviews: "The best modern book on Christian spirituality....No other book apart from the Bible has been so helpful to me in the nurturing of my inward journey of prayer and spiritual growth." (Ronald J. Sider, Executive Director, Evangelicals for Social Action) Members Reviews: Thought-provoking and challenging "Celebration of Discipline" by Richard Foster is a thought-provoking and challenging book about Christian spiritual disciplines. These disciplines include meditation, prayer, fasting, study, simplicity, solitude, submission, service, confession, worship, guidance, and celebration. Although I am not able to meet many of the principles and suggested techniques in the book, I think it does a wonderful job of advocating that a religious life should have many more facets and attributes than simply prayer, attending a service, and reading scripture. Great Book on the Disciplines Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Definitely Yes. If you're serious about growing in your faith, this is a great read. It revealed several disciplines I hadn't even considered. What other book might you compare Celebration of Discipline to and why? Dallas Willards The Spirit of the Disciplines What about Richard Rohans performance did you like? very good Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? no very good book this book is based on principles not rules and gives insight into areas of the spiritual life which are typically clouded w/ mystery Best book ever. Honestly, this has been the most influential book in my life so far. Other than the bible. If you are a Christian, you NEED to read this book. When reader read...the book will appear Any additional comments? Besides sound biblical based, the author draws in from the masters like Augistine,Francis,Luther,Calvin,Westly,Merton,Wilard,ect.

Title: A Praying Life Subtitle: Connecting with God in a Distracting World Author: Paul Miller Narrator: Arthur Morey Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 37 mins Language: English Release date: 01-08-10 Publisher: christianaudio.com Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 312 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: A Praying Life is an honest look at the difficulties of prayer, unanswered prayers, and successes in prayer. Readers will appreciate Paul Miller's down-to-earth approach and practical nature. Parents will find his family-life experiences especially helpful. Critic Reviews: "What a refreshing book! If you're tired of religious prayer games and rote prayers that stop at the ceiling or if you have suspected that God was on vacation somewhere, this book will change your life. And if you're thinking about giving up on prayer, don't! At least not until you've read this book. When you have, you'll thank me for recommending it to you." (Steve Brown, Professor, Reformed Theological Seminary; teacher on the syndicated radio program Key Life) Members Reviews: A book to get deeper into God's life I've read this book twice and am now listening to it on two different devices. Every time I get a chance to listen to a chapter, I glean something new or am reminded of a truth that astounds me about this relationship Jesus offers us! A praying life is essential to living life well. Paul Miller's honest and conversational dialogue clears away the clutter the so easily gets in the way. The narration can at times feel a little monotone but overall it helps in the reflection of the words themselves. I am not an audio learner so the challenge of some vision loss has made me rely on this sense more. This audiobook has not disappointed. Two thumbs up! PHENOMENOL ! Exactly what I needed from God to help me understand & apply prayer in my life. Seek and Find our Lord Jesus Christ in Prayer Would you listen to A Praying Life again? Why? This book has changed my life. I have been a Christian for over 25 years, but I have always struggled to have a meaningful, consistent prayer time. Now I look forward to communing with my Heavenly Father in prayer. Prayer is a joy and privilege, not merely a responsibility. The teaching and author's tone in this book gripped my heart and were made effectual by God to change my life. May He use this book to draw many into intimate communion with Himself. Life Changing I have always struggled with my prayer life. I so want to fellowship with God and have on many occasions. However I felt as if I was doing it all wrong and God was shaking His head as I prayed. As I read this book it was if a bird was freed from its cage. My heart feels free and bold to bring God into my battlefield of life, my hang ups, my struggles, my blessings, my disappointments ... He wants to hear it all and will answer in ways that benefit me most. Sometimes that means telling me no, the way I respond to His no is giving me the opportunity to be molded into someone who resembles Him. I love it! Great Read Every time I pick up this book I read more than I planned! Enjoy and grow.

Radical Audiobook by David Platt

Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/380/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Radical Subtitle: Taking Back Your Faith from the American Dream Author: David Platt Narrator: David Platt Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 18 mins Language: English Release date: 06-18-10 Publisher: christianaudio.com Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 1306 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: It's easy for American Christians to forget how Jesus said his followers would actually live, what their new lifestyle would actually look like. They would, he said, leave behind security, money, convenience, even family for him. They would abandon everything for the gospel. They would take up their crosses daily...BUT WHO DO YOU KNOW WHO LIVES LIKE THAT? DO YOU? In Radical, David Platt challenges you to consider with an open heart how we have manipulated the gospel to fit our cultural preferences. He shows what Jesus actually said about being his disciple--then invites you to believe and obey what you have heard. And he tells the dramatic story of what is happening as a "successful" suburban church decides to get serious about the gospel according to Jesus. Finally, he urges you to join in The Radical Experiment: a one-year journey in authentic discipleship that will transform how you live in a world that desperately needs the Good News Jesus came to bring. Members Reviews: Cutting Through The Fluff What did you love best about Radical? I have been challenged to the core of my being by the message that David Platt brings. The challenge is clear and do-able. What a wake up call to the Church in North America!! Rather than continuing to insulate ourselves from the real needs of the world by building self-congratulating works that only show love to those who already love us back, Platt challenges us to overlay the Gospel with our lives to see if anything shines through. Jesus' commission is ours. If we fail to take it up, God will use someone else, but we will not see the reward nor have the fellowship with Him in its realization. I'm not a Calvinist, but that doesn't really matter. The call of Jesus to His Church is exactly the same. Things that I've been blind to in the past, David has helped me see with crystal clarity for what they are. No Christian should be afraid to listen to this book, nor should we try to explain it away by a differing theology. As a CPA, I'm particularly challenged to live below my means and invest the money of this world to make eternal friends. This is not an ivory tower exposition of the necessity of being active in the Church. It's also not a pastor trying to lay a guilt trip on his people to get them to do something. Instead, it is a call from one laborer in the Master's vineyard to another to be diligently about the Master's business. It's always been interesting to look at Paul's designation of himself as a bondservant of Christ. This book helped me see that status as my own and realise that I no longer belong to myself. I am Christ's, and He has priority over anything else. This is a brave book in that it didn't comfort me in my current situation and congratulate me on how well I may be doing. Instead, Platt looks at the commands of Jesus and the claim of God on my life. He doesn't claim any supernatural knowledge of my situation, but he lays out the Biblical mandate and basically says, Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? The 5-point challenge is worth the price of the book. Very worthwhile reading. Any additional comments? After 8 hours of listening to Mr. Platt, one might tire of his emphatic delivery. Please don't let that dissuade you from listening.

Love Thy Body Audiobook by Nancy R. Pearcey

Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/380/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Love Thy Body Subtitle: Answering Hard Questions About Life and Sexuality Author: Nancy R. Pearcey Narrator: Ann Richardson Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 27 mins Language: English Release date: 01-02-18 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Are transgender people discovering their authentic self? Is the hookup culture really liberating? Does abortion lead to equality for women? Does homosexuality contradict our biological sex? In Love Thy Body, best-selling and award-winning author Nancy Pearcey takes on the hard questions about life and sexuality. She offers a respectful but riveting exposé of the secular worldview that lies behind trendy slogans and political talking points. A former agnostic, Pearcey is a sensitive guide to the secular ideas that shape current debates. She empowers listeners to intelligently and compassionately engage today's most controversial moral and social challenges. In a surprise shattering of stereotypes, Pearcey demonstrates that while secularism promises much, in reality it delivers little. She turns the tables on stereotypes that portray Christianity as harsh and bigoted, and invites a fresh look at its holistic, life-affirming principles: It is a worldview that matches the real world and fits with human experience. All along, Pearcey keeps listeners entranced with gripping stories of real people wrestling with hard questions in their own lives - sharing their pain, their struggles, and their triumphs. Members Reviews: Another important volume from Percey Life and death. Sex. Just a few of the massively contentious issues of our time. Whether speaking of abortion, eugenics, assisted suicide, pornography, homosexuality or transgenderism, these are the hard-core topics occupying the attention of so many today â both in theory as well as in reality. How we are to understand and assess all these hot potato ethical issues can be very difficult indeed. The problem is, most folks simply look at an individual issue and try to wade their way through it, instead of seeing the bigger picture. As noted Christian apologist Francis Schaeffer said decades ago, âThe basic problem of the Christians in this country in the last eighty years or so is that they have seen things in bits and pieces instead of totals.â Thus when dealing with individual moral topics, one needs an ethical model (be it utilitarianism or whatever) with which to assess them, and this in turn should come out of oneâs overall worldview. So the proper way to assess an issue such as euthanasia is to see it in terms of oneâs worldview. Worldview thinking was of course one of the chief emphases of Schaeffer, and it has been as well for one of his better-known students: Nancy Pearcey. She has already demonstrated her more than capable grasp of such matters in her earlier important volumes, including Total Truth (2004) and Finding Truth (2015). In her brand new volume she looks in detail at these contentious ethical issues, and takes us back to see the bigger picture: âThe problem is that many people treat morality as a list of rules. But in reality, every moral system rests on a worldview. In every decision we make, we are not just deciding what we want to do. We are expressing our view of the purpose of human life.â So letâs jump into one of the most controversial and hotly debated topics at the moment: that of the new gender bender revolution.

The Divine Conspiracy Audiobook by Dallas Willard

biacuaduc@gmail.com (Dallas Willard) — Wed, 24 Jan 2007 21:28:08 GMT

Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/380/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Divine Conspiracy Author: Dallas Willard Narrator: Thomas Penny Format: Unabridged Length: 18 hrs and 1 min Language: English Release date: 01-24-07 Publisher: HarperAudio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 509 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: In an era in which many Christians consider Jesus a beloved but remote savior, Willard argues compellingly for the relevance of God to every aspect of our existence. Masterfully capturing the central insights of Christ's teachings in a fresh way for today's seekers, he helps us to explore a revolutionary way to experience God by knowing him as an essential part of the here and now, rather than only as part of the hereafter. Critic Reviews: "Willard's passionate insights are thoroughly argued." (Library Journal) Members Reviews: Incredible Book Absolutely incredible book. Caused me to obtain the print copies of all 3 in this series (1. Hearing God, 2. The Spirit of the Disciplines, 3. The Divine Conspiracy) so that I could study them more closely, as well as MP3 copies of the other two. All are good; this is the best. He has since written others, BTW, which I've also obtained. Willard is a philosophy professor, very intelligent, and a very clear writer. Unlike other Christian philosphers I've read, though, he does not soft-peddle Christianity or Christ. He actually shows how the Church in general has softened much New Testament truth. He is teaching nothing new here ("new", with regard to Christianty, is generally synonymous with "distorted"); he goes back to the Word itself, attempting to look at it with no bias, no preconceived notions except that it is true. In my group of favorite authors, he has joined A.W.Tozer and C.S.Lewis; that is heady company indeed. I cannot recommend his (or their) works highly enough. If you are a Richard Foster fan ("Celebration of Discipline"), you should understand that Foster considers Willard his mentor. Foster's first pastorate was at a small church that Willard attended; Willard's influence was very strong. A Book I Hold Especially Dear I have read and now listened to this book probably a dozen times total, with plans for more... And I read or listen to good authorship/critique all the time. It is not uncommon for me to look at the vast amount of things on my iPod, from Public Radio to Comedy to LOST episodes, and just be like, ehhh... 'Why not plug into the mother of all ideas...' that Christ is reigning right now and that might I connect into it and benefit (a la "The Divine Conspiracy"). This to say, what Dallas achieves in this book is extraordinary -- I say this having been a lifetime Christian, but not until this book having the right framework for actually following Jesus in all of his brilliance, care, and ability. If you know about Dallas Willard, you know that he has been Professor at a top mainstream university (Univ. So. California) for 30+ years. He's no cultural Christian. He has applied immense thought, careful debate, and great humility when it comes to considering Jesus Christ and what it means to follow him. This book is an outflow of this. I know of no other living author like Dallas. Why not sit with this book and let your universe be opened a little wider? You won't be disappointed. NOTE: The book may seem a bit oblique until the 3rd or 4th Chapter. But trust me, worth every sentence and it comes together more than handsomely by later chapters. Again, I listen to this audiobook over and over. Why am I typing this? I should be listening to it right now and trust me talking about it like this is causing a deep Pavlovian response.

Daring to Hope Audiobook by Ann Voskamp - foreword, Katie Davis Majors

Title: Daring to Hope Subtitle: Finding God's Goodness in the Broken and the Beautiful Author: Ann Voskamp - foreword, Katie Davis Majors Narrator: Jaimee Draper Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 50 mins Language: English Release date: 10-03-17 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 99 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: How do you hold on to hope when you don't get the ending you asked for? When Katie Davis Majors moved to Uganda, accidentally founded a booming organization, and later became the mother of 13 girls through the miracle of adoption, she determined to weave her life together with the people she desired to serve. But joy often gave way to sorrow as she invested her heart fully in walking alongside people in the grip of poverty, addiction, desperation, and disease. After unexpected tragedy shook her family, for the first time Katie began to wonder, Is God really good? Does he really love us? When she turned to him with her questions, God spoke truth to her heart and drew her even deeper into relationship with him. Daring to Hope is an invitation to cling to the God of the impossible - the God who whispers his love to us in the quiet, in the mundane, when our prayers are not answered the way we want or the miracle doesn't come. It's about a mother discovering the extraordinary strength it takes to be ordinary. It's about choosing faith no matter the circumstance and about encountering God's goodness in the least expected places. Though your heartaches and dreams may take a different shape, you will find your own questions echoed in this book. You'll be reminded of the gifts of joy in the midst of sorrow. And you'll hear God's whisper: Hold on to hope. I will meet you here. Members Reviews: Katies books are always so encouraging! Its always so encouraging to read her books. So full of passion and love, you cant help but leave the reading filled with a renewed hope for humanity. A must read This is a must read for caregivers or for those who have lost hope in their life. Loved it! Pre-ordered. Looked fwd to listen to it. Could not wait to listen to Katie's 2nd book after listening to her 1st book. I could not stop listening to either books, beginning to end. Both books so ministered to me. Although I live in the US, NY. I see many people love Jesus but are not on the straight and narrow path with Him (rather appear luke warm). Katie is. I believe I am. This is why I could relate to Katie's story in so many ways. Encouraged me, I'm not alone. On the right path with Jesus. To keep my heart and eyes on Him. Keep pressing forward. No matter how hard it gets at times via counting the cost for Christ Jesus as He has called me too. Excellent audio book. Thank you Katie, for being you in the Lord! I love who you are in Christ Jesus. A life of service and love This book is amazing! It made me want to live a life of service and love for God. The narrator is really good! I recommend. Listen on at least 2x speed I was so looking forward to this book. I pre ordered it and everything. I couldnt wait to hear the next chapter but I hate to say I didnt love it. This felt more bible study than story. The narrator was just sooo slow. Like pulling teeth. I listened to 90% of the book on 2x speed and 5% on 2.5x. Painful to listen to at Normal speed.

Yet there is one often-overlooked, often-misunderstood gift crucial to the well-being of the church: the gift of discerning spirits. This gift is the powerful supernatural ability to hear and see into the spiritual realm, yet many people who have it may think they are crazy. Finding no help from the church, some have turned to medical doctors and actually been diagnosed with a mental disorder. Jennifer Eivaz, a trusted prophetic voice, has been there, and she offers hope, healing, and practical help. Pulling back the veil, she: The enemy is on the move. More than ever, the church needs people who operate in this powerful gift to expose hidden threats and help lead the church to victory. Members Reviews: Awesome and Informative This book is amazing I absolutely love it! Jennifer Eivaz explains Discerning of Spirits like no one else. The revelation and impartation is awesome. Great Very informative! This book answered many questions I have had on the subject. I have listened to the book 3 times! On time! Amazing listen and so needed during this season of my life.

God's Wisdom for Navigating Life Audiobook by Timothy Keller, Kathy Keller

Title: God's Wisdom for Navigating Life Subtitle: A Year of Daily Devotions in the Book of Proverbs Author: Timothy Keller, Kathy Keller Narrator: Sean Pratt Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 59 mins Language: English Release date: 11-07-17 Publisher: Penguin Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 6 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: From pastor and New York Times best-selling author Timothy Keller comes a beautifully packaged, yearlong daily devotional based on the Book of Proverbs Proverbs is God's book of wisdom, teaching us the essence and goal of a Christian life. In this 365-day devotional, Timothy Keller offers listeners a fresh, inspiring lesson for every day of the year based on different passages within the Book of Proverbs. With his trademark knowledge, Keller unlocks the wisdom within the poetry of Proverbs and guides us toward a new understanding of what it means to live a moral life. God's Wisdom for Navigating Life is a book that listeners will be able to turn to every day, year after year, to cultivate a deeper, more fulfilling relationship with God. This makes a perfect companion to Keller's devotional on the Psalms, The Songs of Jesus. Members Reviews: Highly Recommended! Edifying! Profound! God's Wisdom for our Lives! Highly Recommended! I've enjoyed this deep, insightful devotional by Timothy Keller! Each day's devotion is just right, having the right amount of material, being deep enough, full of insight, but not overly long. It is so thought provoking that the reader can meditate on the information and the verses taught all throughout the day. It is set up similar to Keller's amazing and well received devotional Songs of Jesus. I've enjoyed that devotional immensely for the last few years. Songs of Jesus helps the believer meditate through the Psalms! I would recommend that book as well if you do not have it yet! This book is organized a little differently. In Songs of Jesus, Keller breaks up the sections in order systematically, from Psalm 1 all the way to the end of Psalm 150. In this devotional Keller selects a portion of Proverbs to read each day and to medicate on. Then he gives a teaching on that topic, using his own insights, other bible verses, and ends with a prayer! The sections are not divided as in Songs of Jesus in order by Chapters. It does not begin with proverbs 1 and end with proverbs 31. He divides the sections into topics, such as : 1- Knowing Wisdom: What is Wisdom 2-Knowing Wisdom: What is Foolishness 3- How do we become Wise 4-The Fear of the Lord 5-Knowing the Heart; Understanding the Heart 6-Understanding Emotion 7- Seven Deadly Sins: Anger, Envy, Pride, Gluttony, Sloth, Greed, Lust each having its own section 8-Knowing the Times and Seasons: Guidance, Planning, and Decision Making - This part is very practical and awesome! 9-Insights for Our Age. 10-Marriage 11-Sex 12- Parenting 13- Money 14 Knowing Jesus, The True Wisdom of God. For example, the reading for November 6, Keller teaches on Proverbs 30: 8-9 "Keep falsehood and lies far from me; give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread, Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you and say 'Who is the LORD?' Or I may become poor and steal, and so dishonor the name of my God. Keller goes on to say "Money can corrupt us not only by its presence but by its absence.

Title: Swipe Right Subtitle: The Life-and-Death Power of Sex and Romance Author: Levi Lusko Narrator: Levi Lusko Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 57 mins Language: English Release date: 02-21-17 Publisher: Thomas Nelson Publishers Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 301 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: A unique and compelling understanding of the power and the pleasure attached to God's plans for relationships. For better or for worse, interactions with screens are now irreversibly entangled in the fabric of our lives. We swipe right to answer calls, unlock our iPhones, respond to snaps, browse through photos, and respond to emails. With our fingertips dancing across devices, we navigate our way through life. It is now estimated that the average American pulls their phone out to check it 150 times each day. That's once every six minutes. For the now more than 100 million Americans on dating apps like Tinder, swiping right is increasingly the first step toward initiating no-strings-attached sexual encounters. Sex is being stripped of any emotional or spiritual significance by successive generations and is simply viewed as a physical source of pleasure and enjoyment. All of this is a reality; the real question is, at what cost? In Swipe Right, Pastor Levi Lusko offers compelling reasons to make wise choices in matters of the heart - relationships, sex, dating, and marriage. He encourages listeners to live each day knowing their present choices will immediately become part of their pasts and that their pasts will inevitably come back to visit them in the future. With equal parts prevention and cure, the book is not just a list of rules to live by but something to live for: God's powerful plan for our lives. To get there we must learn how to swipe right - to live up in a left-right world - because what we do with sex and romance is truly an issue of life-and-death importance. For 12 years Levi; his wife, Jennie; and their team have put on an evangelistic purity conference called the O2 Experience. Traveling across the United States, he has appeared in three to five cities each year, bringing a fresh perspective on sex and romance, challenging thousands of teens and unmarried young adults to rise up in strength and honor. Swipe Right will broaden the discussions to include married people, those dating, and those who have racked up consequences but need to know it's never too late to do the right thing and experience God's best. Members Reviews: FANTASTIC This is such a important message delivered with beauty, comedy and depth! I greatly appreciate this timely message for myself and our whole generation!

Thank you Lusko family and congrats!! An on time word! To say that this book literally fell into my lap at the perfect time is an understatement. It was so perfect that it had to be Gods timing! Levi is real and raw about the truths of the importance of purity and also about redemption. His real ness and matter-of-fact message helped me get real about parts of my heart that I needed to check! This book is helpful for singles, divorcées, people in long term relationships and everything in between. Phenomenal! I will forever thank God Levi Lusko wrote this book! The timing was perfect since Im getting married in 5 months.

Reasonable Faith, Third Edition Audiobook by William Lane Craig

Title: Reasonable Faith, Third Edition Subtitle: Christian Truth and Apologetics Author: William Lane Craig Narrator: Jim Denison Format: Unabridged Length: 18 hrs and 55 mins Language: English Release date: 07-04-17 Publisher: Two Words Publishing, LLC Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 53 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: J. Gresham Machen once said, "False ideas are the greatest obstacles to the reception of the Gospel" - which makes apologetics that much more important. Wanting to engage not just academics and pastors but Christian laypeople and seekers, William Lane Craig has revised and updated key sections in this third edition of his classic text to reflect the latest work in astrophysics, philosophy, probability calculus, arguments for the existence of God, and Reformed epistemology. His approach - that of positive apologetics - gives careful attention to crucial questions and concerns, including the relationship of faith and reason, the existence of God, the problems of historical knowledge and miracles, the personal claims of Christ, and the historicity of the resurrection of Jesus. He shows that there is good reason to think Christianity is true. As Craig says, "If you have a sound and persuasive case for Christianity, you don't have to become an expert in comparative religions and Christian cults. A positive justification of the Christian faith automatically overwhelms all competing worldviews lacking an equally strong case." Members Reviews: Good and logical outline of arguments Good singular source for arguments found in WLC debates. Suggest Defenders(Christian doctrine) and podcasts as follow-up to this work. No new material but arguments are outlined in a logical fashion and also logically follow one another, i.e. From theism to Christianity in particular. Includes some counters to possible objections. Some of the material doesn't translate too well to audio, such as the application of Bayes' theorem to explanations which involves reading out statistical variables in formulae, though this is unavoidable and written works expanding on the material forming the basis of this section can easily be found on the internet. Analogies almost always follows these expositions and mitigates possible 'dry-ness' that this could cause. I wouldn't suggest this book as a starting point unless you have some background in either Christian doctrine or are philosophically inclined-solely because there would be a lot of new information to digest simultaneously. Some critics have quoted this book out of context, notably sections on the inner testimony of the Holy Spirit to claim that WLC is un-scientific. A full reading of this book, with the compounded effect of arguments taken as a whole, should show such claims for what they are-either deliberate misrepresentations or based in misunderstanding of the section. Someone criticized the book because of the apparent claim that WLC gets Jesus's birth place wrong (Nazareth instead of Bethlehem). I believe that this was rectified.

The Insanity of God Audiobook by Gregg Lewis, Nik Ripken

Title: The Insanity of God Subtitle: A True Story of Faith Resurrected Author: Gregg Lewis, Nik Ripken Narrator: Joe Geoffrey Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 47 mins Language: English Release date: 09-10-15 Publisher: christianaudio.com Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 739 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: The Insanity of God is the personal and lifelong journey of an ordinary couple from rural Kentucky who thought they were going on just your ordinary missionary pilgrimage but discovered it would be anything but. After spending over six hard years doing relief work in Somalia and experiencing life where it looked like God had turned away completely and he was clueless about the tragedies of life, the couple had a crisis of faith and left Africa asking God, "Does the Gospel work anywhere when it is really a hard place?" It sure didn't work in Somalia. Nik recalls, "God had always been so real to me, to Ruth, and to our boys. But was he enough for the utter weariness of soul I experienced at that time, in that place, under those circumstances?" It is a question that many have asked and one that, if answered, can lead us to a whole new world of faith. How does faith survive, let alone flourish, in a place like the Middle East? How can Ggod truly overcome such evil? How do you maintain hope when all is darkness around you? How can we say "greater is he that is in me than he that is in the world" when it may not be visibly true in that place at that time? How does anyone live an abundant, victorious Christian life in our world's toughest places? Can Christianity even work outside of Western, dressed-up, ordered nations? If so, how? The Insanity of God tells a story - a remarkable and unique story to be sure, yet at heart a very human story - of the Ripkens' own spiritual and emotional odyssey. The gripping narrative account of a personal pilgrimage into some of the toughest places on Earth, combined with sobering and insightful stories of the remarkable people of faith Nik and Ruth encountered on their journeys, will serve as a powerful course of revelation, growth, and challenge for anyone who wants to know whether God truly is enough. Members Reviews: AMAZING Stories! For the devout Christian, a book about Faith does not get more inspiring. This book tells the true story about a man who is a modern day Paul from the Bible. From the middle east to Russia, and China, this man's travels will keep you reading and will encourage you to dig deeper in your faith. Simply amazing. One of the most important books I've ever purchased on Audible. Highly recommend. I will be sharing with many God's Manifest Power Through Persecution After reading The Heavenly Man by Brother Yun and Tom Doyle's books, Dreams and Visions and Killing Christians, I was ready for the content of The Insanity of God. God is at work today and the challenge is to enter into that incredible Holy Spirit driven work and embrace my part in that work. Certainly this book is documenting just exactly how the gates of Hell are NOT prevailing against the Kingdom of Heaven!!! I say, "Yes!!! hallelujah!" Thanks to the brother and author of this book who was willing to travel to all these places and in great detail document for us what is as common as the sun rising in the east, namely the persecution of believers. Thanks for the excellent contrast and comparison of the different regions and how they are handling their struggles and thanks most of all for his own honesty and candor in sharing his heart felt struggles. As the father of four, I cried the most when his son died and grieved that loss also.

Title: Love Wins Subtitle: A Book About Heaven, Hell, and the Fate of Every Person Who Ever Lived Author: Rob Bell Narrator: Rob Bell Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 41 mins Language: English Release date: 03-15-11 Publisher: HarperAudio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 1183 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Millions of Christians have struggled with how to reconcile God's love and God's judgment: Has God created billions of people over thousands of years only to select a few to go to heaven and everyone else to suffer forever in hell? Is this acceptable to God? How is this "good news"? Troubling questions, so troubling that many have lost their faith because of them. Others only whisper the questions to themselves, fearing or being taught that they might lose their faith and their church if they ask them out loud. But what if these questions trouble us for good reason? What if the story of heaven and hell we have been taught is not, in fact, what the Bible teaches? What if what Jesus meant by heaven, hell, and salvation are very different from how we have come to understand them? What if it is God who wants us to face these questions? Author, pastor, and innovative teacher Rob Bell presents a deeply biblical vision for rediscovering a richer, grander, truer, and more spiritually satisfying way of understanding heaven, hell, God, Jesus, salvation, and repentance. The result is the discovery that the "good news" is much, much better than we ever imagined. Love wins. Members Reviews: Easy reading, straight forward, life changing Title sums it up for me. Not one to write reviews usually, so forgive my 'briefness'. Rob's simple message is so logical and yet has changed my entire outlook on Christianity. Laid to rest many issues and problems I have held for years. Thank you Rob. Must read, so many answers Where does Love Wins rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Absolute best listen so far What was one of the most memorable moments of Love Wins? So many times during this reading, I found myself thinking "wow, that makes so much sense." Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? At the very end when he brought all the concepts together and said "love wins." Any additional comments? I would recommend this book to anyone, Christian or not, to challenge what you thought you knew about God and Jesus. This short read brought me great insight to Jesus' message and where to place it in my faith. For anyone that has been exposed to organized Christian religion and turned away, this read brings you back to the essence of God's love and Christ's purpose in our lives. Every Christian needs to read this! Every Christian, and every non-Christian or ex-Christian who's written off Christianity because of it's teachings about "eternal torment" and it's exclusivism (only a few saved), needs to read this book. Incidentally, even though I say "read", I do think that listening to this audio presentation is a far superior experience to reading the text (which I've also done). Rob has a great speaking voice, but for some reason he loves to write everything as if it's poetry, with various kinds of "pretty" formatting, which annoyed me to no end while reading the hardback book. I guess he was trying to be clever in his presentation, but he needn't have done that, his content speaks for itself. Typical Rob Bell I've listened to some of his books and watched several of his videos.

The Case for Christ Audiobook by Lee Strobel

Title: The Case for Christ Subtitle: A Journalist's Personal Investigation of the Evidence for Jesus Author: Lee Strobel Narrator: Dick Fredricks Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 49 mins Language: English Release date: 08-19-04 Publisher: Zondervan Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 1512 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Retracing his own spiritual journey from atheism to faith, Lee Strobel, former legal editor of the Chicago Tribune, cross-examines a dozen experts with doctorates from schools like Cambridge, Princeton, and Brandeis, who are recognized authorities in their fields. Strobel challenges them with questions like How reliable is the New Testament? Does evidence exist for Jesus outside the Bible? Is there any reason to believe the resurrection was an actual event? Strobel's tough, point-blank questions make this remarkable book read like a captivating, fast-paced novel. But it's not fiction. It's a riveting quest for the truth about history's most compelling figure. What will your verdict be in The Case for Christ? Members Reviews: Interesting Approach to the New Testament Strobel uses analogies from criminal cases he is familiar with, along with his talents as an investigative reporter for a major newspaper, to help tell the story of how he became a Christian. His wife's conversion to Christianity led him to approach the Bible from a factual angle, and he spends quite a bit of time visiting with scholars and trying to prove one way or the other whether the events cited in the New Testament, primarily the four Gospels, could have actually happened. As is the case with any book of this type, you're either going to believe or not, and the book itself may help push you into feeling more strongly; non-believers will likely dismiss it as yet another attempt to coerce their thinking. There are certainly some logic errors, but he does make a strong case for his side. As a lifelong Christian, I found the story interesting and well told, although Strobel tries a little too hard in his attempt to provide drama. While the book isn't likely to convert anyone, keep in mind there's a reason it's called "faith." The audio version gets in the way sometimes as the narrator attempts to provide different voices for the characters; I would have preferred a straight read. All in all, it's a great listen if you're a believer and want some facts, or if you're not sure what to believe and have an open mind. Not a definitive case for Christ Srrobel tries in this book to make the reader feel that he or she is walking with a reporter who is using his years of investigative experience to prove (or disprove) the case for Christ's existence and then the case for his divinity. I enjoyed the book and feel that it does help the lay reader begin to understand that there is a great deal of biblical and non-biblical support for Christ's existence. However, it is more difficult to feel as comfortable about Christ's divinity. If your goal were to build a foundation to help support your faith that Christ was God, this book would serve well as perhaps one building block. To make a stronger case that Christ was divine the author should have spent more time interviewing those scholars who hold well-reasoned arguments against the divinity of Christ and dealing with their objections. With this in mind, I would recommend the book and remind people that building a case for Christ and his divinity will be a long journey. I'm on my FOURTH listen...it's that rich! Loved every morsel of this work by Lee Strobel.

Not a Fan Audiobook by Kyle Idleman

Title: Not a Fan Subtitle: Becoming a Completely Committed Follower of Jesus Author: Kyle Idleman Narrator: Kyle Idleman Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 8 mins Language: English Release date: 07-27-11 Publisher: Zondervan Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 1584 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Pastor Kyle Idleman doesn't just want to be a fan of Jesus, he wants to full heartedly commit to him and be a follower of Jesus. But how can you make the leap from fan to follower? In Not a Fan Idleman uses biblical examples to show how the people who met Jesus also had to decide if they were fans or followers, and what it meant for them to then become followers. Being a follower doesn't mean that you go to church every week, that you slap a Jesus fish on the back of your car, and that you give to charity. That's what a fan does. What a follower of Jesus does, Idleman observes, is die to themselves each and every moment of the day because 'you can't say yes to following Jesus unless you say no to living for yourself.' In this three part book Idleman helps you to discover whether you are a fan or a follower, how to recognize the invitation Jesus has given, and what following Jesus looks like in your daily life. With humor and real life examples to draw you closer to Jesus, Kyle Idleman compels each and every one of us to Not Be A Fan. Members Reviews: I am a follower and not a FAN WOW It is such a breath of fresh air to come accross a writer who strikes and even balance between the grace of Christ and what it is to really deny yourself and follow him. Some people are all about a list of rules, whilst others maintain that it is alll grace but Kyle strikes and even balance between the two and says that this is what makes the difference between a follower and a fan. Kyle says that a fan might not make it to heaven, and whilst I disagree with his postion I certainly liked what he said about being a true follower of Christ was. With candid stories from his own life, Kyle is both transparent and honest in his personal stories as well as telling stories from other people. He is a gifted teacher and story teller and any person who reads or downloads this book is in for a treat. Wakeup Call Simplistic and truthful read that really challenges any Christian believer to reflect on their life and put a clear, focused effort on their behavior going forward. I am NOT A FAN Thank you Kyle. This was not what i wanted to hear but was what i needed to hear. Brilliant and Enlightening What made the experience of listening to Not a Fan the most enjoyable? I have recently began my journey back to Christianity......but not toward religion. I have always admired Jesus as a great prophet and teacher, not as the son of God. I decided (mostly God helped me decide) I needed to broaden my belief and commit to the beliefs of Christianity. But what does it mean to be a Christian, what does it mean to FOLLOW Jesus. I have always been a some what FAN but Jesus said "Follow Me" - Matthew 16:24. Just so happened I decided to read about how to FOLLOW Jesus and came across this book. To me this book separates the FANS of Jesus from the FOLLOWERS. This book showed me the path I needed to go on and shoved me forward. I am not a FAN......I am a FOLLOWER!!! I hope you will become a follower with the passion and perseverance Kyle talks about in this book.

I found so much of it to be of a repetitive nature. I would have enjoyed hearing about how her son and husband helped her. I became weary about mid way through the book. I did find her honesty refreshing.

But you might not love what you think. In this book, award-winning author James K. A. Smith shows that who and what we worship fundamentally shape our hearts. And while we desire to shape culture, we are not often aware of how culture shapes us. We might not realize the ways our hearts are being taught to love rival gods instead of the One for whom we were made. Smith helps listeners recognize the formative power of culture and the transformative possibilities of Christian practices. He explains that worship is the "imagination station" that incubates our loves and longings so that our cultural endeavors are indexed toward God and his kingdom. This is why the church and worshiping in a local community of believers should be the hub and heart of Christian formation and discipleship. Following the publication of his influential work Desiring the Kingdom, Smith received numerous requests from pastors and leaders for a more accessible version of that book's content. No mere abridgment, this new book draws on years of Smith's popular presentations on the ideas in Desiring the Kingdom to offer a fresh, bottom-up re-articulation. The author creatively uses film, literature, and music illustrations to engage listeners and includes new material on marriage, family, youth ministry, and faith and work. He also suggests individual and communal practices for shaping the Christian life. Members Reviews: My second reading was on audiobook It is good to re-read books. I can not remember where I read it, but I remember a discussion about the difference in reading habits of people a couple hundred years ago. The short version is that books used to be very expensive. So you would read and re-read a book several times because you only had a few options of what books to read. Today books are cheap. I routinely pick up books for a couple dollars or even free. So we tend to read a book once and move on to the next idea. I have put a goal on myself to re-read at least one book a month. I rarely re-read books quite that often, but almost every time I re-read a book I am reminded about the importance of re-reading. Maybe others are more careful readers than I am. But I almost always find significant ideas that I either missed on the first reading or I have forgotten. The most important idea from You are What You Love that I missed on the first reading is the clear understanding of the difference between what Smith calls Expressive and Formative worship. For Smith, expressive worship, the predominate focus of modern evangelicals, is about the importance of bringing praise to God. Smith does not say it is wrong to expressively worship. But he is not sure that expressive worship should be our primary focus and this is for several reasons. 1) Expressive worship is focused on what we do for God instead of what God has done. 2) Because of our age of authenticity, the temptation for expressive worship is to always seek out the new and innovative because repeated expressive worship feels less authentic. 3) Because of point one, the only real place for the congregation to participate in expressive worship is the music portion of worship. So expressive worship ends up minimizing the full range of worship in a service. Instead Smith believes that we should approach worship as primarily formative.

Sproul Format: Original Recording Length: 23 hrs and 1 min Language: English Release date: 07-30-13 Publisher: Ligonier Ministries Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 425 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: In Foundations: An Overview of Systematic Theology, R.C. Sproul shows that the truths of Scripture relate to each other in perfect harmony. This eye-opening series addresses a myriad of questions about the origin and authority of the Bible, God, the Trinity, man, sin, salvation, revelation, miracles, the church, the end times, andmore. Members Reviews: Great, but you can get this FREE @ SermonAudio What made the experience of listening to Foundations the most enjoyable? I like the audiobook, just wanted to let anyone out there know that these lectures can be found for free on SermonAudio if you google search "rc sproul foundations". Feel kinda ripped off for buying this on Audible now, but material is good and solid Reformed Theology This series of lectures about systematic theology presents the main questions of the field with the assumptions of reformed theology. R. C. Sproul gives a clear exposition of the differents themes, giving the reader a path to immerse in the treasury of God's Word. Reformed Theology by the Grand Father. What did you love best about Foundations? RC Sproul is a very good teacher. He has a way of explaining complex theological issues in a simple way. This book would be the Equivalent to the good Bible College or Seminary overview of Reformed Theology. a classic! I love R.C. Sproul (wish he were my grandpa) and I love all that he teaches. His doctrine is solid.... with the exception of chapter 6. on inerrancy of the Bible. He seems to want to avoid "circularity", which is understandable but inescapable as a Christian. He has to join that label (along with myself) along with any Christian that wants to be faithful. Starting with Jesus as "a good man" or "a basically reliable bible" is weak. R.C. starts with Jesus but only as sort kinda reliable and progresses from there to reliable / and besides starting with Jesus is starting with the Bible. The Bible is the word of God and can't be associated with the words "basically reliable". As a Calvinist it's hard to listen to chapter 6. Christian epistemology is pretty much shot and weakened by not proclaiming it as God sees it in full. The natural man will Absolutly disagree, so what, it's expected and that's why we develop avenues toward meaningful discussion and reason. And There are other ways to disguise circularity but that would take a whole book to discuss such an issue and not to be left on a review. truth is truth. Anyhow I love his teaching on eschatology and everything else. I recommend this to all Christians that wish to sharpen their theology. A Clear Crisp presentation on Christian Theology Love the book. RC Sproul is a very clear thinker, you couldn't ask for a better reader or in this case speaker. The only disagreement I have with him is his view on the rapture. He doesn't believe in it. Highly recommended.

Blessed Are the Misfits Audiobook by Brant Hansen

Title: Blessed Are the Misfits Subtitle: Great News for Believers Who Are Introverts, Spiritual Strugglers, or Just Feel Like They're Missing Something Author: Brant Hansen Narrator: Brant Hansen Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 39 mins Language: English Release date: 11-28-17 Publisher: Thomas Nelson Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 66 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Warning: If modern church culture makes perfect sense to you, and you always fit in seamlessly, don't listen to this. As for the rest of us.... While American church culture (and American culture at large) seems largely designed for the extroverted, it's estimated that half of the American population is introverted, and they're often left wondering how, even if, they fit in the kingdom of God. As one of them, popular radio host Brant Hansen brings news. It's wonderful, refreshing, and never-been-said-this-way-before good news. In his unique style, Hansen looks to answer questions that millions of people carry with them each day: This book is good news for people who are desperately looking for it. (And for their loved ones!) It's also for those who want to believe in Jesus but inwardly fear that they don't belong, worry that don't have the requisite emotion-based relationship with God, and are starving for good news. Blessed Are the Misfits is going to generate discussion and lots of it. It's simultaneously highly provocative and humbly personal. It's also leavened with a distinct, dry, self-effacing humor that is a hallmark of Hansen's on-air, writing, and public speaking style. Members Reviews: Can Brant read all my books to me? Thank you Brant for being real, candid, and speaking all the things I've been missing from the church for many years. Nothing can run off a searching sinner/christian quicker than judging harshness to imply you don't fit in. Your books remind me who I am. I'm a child of God, faults and all and He knows this.. loves me anyway. Such a good story teller! Brant Hansen is so easy to listen to. In a lot of ways, I can relate to him. It's nice hearing things from a relatable perspective. a wonderful, refreshing corrective This is worth a listen. It will challenge assumptions about our collective Christian values and emphases. Please read Coolest speaker I know, and I'm not kidding. I'm 14 years old, but some how He makes His book related to My every day life, and I think no mater who you are there is a little something in this book for you. A breath of fresh honesty Love the honesty and simplicity of the message. Brant's radio voice and interesting stories kept my attention. I also like that he kept the book rooted in the Bible without sounding preachy. This misfit is encouraged.

The Hiding Place Audiobook by Corrie ten Boom

Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/380/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Hiding Place Author: Corrie ten Boom Narrator: Bernadette Dunne Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 22 mins Language: English Release date: 07-29-09 Publisher: christianaudio.com Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1111 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: In World War II she and her family risked their lives to help Jews and underground workers escape from the Nazi's, and for their work they were tested in the infamous Nazi death camps. Only Corrie among her whole family survived to tell the story of how faith ultimately triumphs over evil. Here is the riveting account of how Corrie and her family were able to save many of God's chosen people. For 35 years millions have seen that there is no pit so deep that God's love in not deeper still. Now The Hiding Place, repackaged for a new generation of readers, continue to declare that God's love will overcome, heal and restore. Members Reviews: Amazing Courage Story was lovingly read with the voice of (what sounded like) an elder woman who gave the impression that she understood the hardships faced by Corrie. I mention this because the book places Corrie in her 50's and so it feels as though you were actually hearing the words from Corrie herself. I was completely taken by how Corrie and her sister Betsy were able to keep so much hate from entering their hearts for their captors and for that matter all the bad that was happening around them. It was amazing to hear of all the good they were able to accomplish through the underground and the many lives that were touched by such a loving family. The story talks much of the work they accomplished for years prior to the capture of her family and each persons involvement as well as her life prior to the invasion of Holland. So the story does not linger on how much bad had occured after they were captured and is not so sullan as to depress the listener. It gave me a new found respect for the affection of others and also how God was able to heal and protect during such a tumultuous time. Riveting Would you consider the audio edition of The Hiding Place to be better than the print version? Yes, because the narrator makes me feel like I am actually hearing Corrie Ten Boom. I read the print version several years ago and the audio version has been even better! Which character as performed by Bernadette Dunne was your favorite? Corrie of course, because it is a first person narrative, but she is quite adept at bringing out the characters or each of the other people in the book--even the men. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? This is an extremely sad and serious book overall, but it is not depressing. Throughout the book, the grace and sovereignty of God is evident. Any additional comments? God promises in Isaiah 41:10, "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand" and The Hiding Place is evidence of His faithfulness to this promise. Wasn't prepared to be this inspired What a great book! Not only is her story inspirational but her writing is excellent. I very much enjoyed this narrator and felt as if it were Corrie reading it herself. This is a must read! Wonderful book Great personal history. Very inspiring. Corrie Ten Boom is a real woman of God and her sister and father are true examples of how Christ uses us and protects us no matter what the situtiation. Fantastic Book and Fantastic Reading of it! I was turned onto this book by an excerpt of it from a Sunday school message. It is a great story and greatly challenges and convicts.

The Prodigal God Audiobook by Timothy Keller

Title: The Prodigal God Author: Timothy Keller Narrator: Timothy Keller Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 22 mins Language: English Release date: 01-07-09 Publisher: Penguin Audio Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1098 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Taking his trademark intellectual approach to understanding Christianity, Keller uncovers the essential message of Jesus, locked inside his most familiar parable. Within that parable Jesus reveals God's prodigal grace toward both the irreligious and the moralistic. This book will challenge both the devout and skeptics to see Christianity in a whole new way. Members Reviews: For any one who thinks they are... a Christian or non-Christian should read this. As a follower of Christ, I was convicted at the realization that I am closer to an elder brother than Christ, even though I had rebellious younger brother tendencies and fully accepted the grace the father offered. For those that read the title and think, oh my another liberal Christian book, especially needs to read it. The flyleaf quote caused me to buy it... "One of the signs that you may not grasp the unique, radical nature of the gospel is that you are certain that you do." The dangers of righteousness "The Prodigal God" is a very short book that examines the Christian parable of the Prodigal Son. It makes some insightful points about how the true target of the parable may have been those people represented by the elder son, and it is especially thought-provoking as it discusses how the elder son, who tried very hard to live a correct and righteous life, is the son who ended up alienated from the Father at the end of the parable. It makes you think I really enjoyed listening to the book. It made me think about past situations in my life and specifically people that have judged without knowing the people. I questioned myself "what type of brother was I?" when listened to the book. I would recommend this book to anyone. didn't attend church, now want to This book has had a profound effect on me. I thought the elder brother was what christianity was about and why I didn't want a part in it. He shows me that I was mistaken, but so are the elder brothers. I have gone on to read The reason for God and have reviewed the Redeemer Church site. It all appeals to me. Hope it does the same for you. Excellent Well worth a listen. Well articulated presentation of the gospel. Rare insights in to an old story

Title: Jesus Calling Author: Sarah Young Narrator: Roger Mueller Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 42 mins Language: English Release date: 03-13-12 Publisher: Thomas Nelson Publishers Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 307 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Jesus Calling is a devotional filled with uniquely inspired treasures from heaven for every day of the year. After many years of writing in her prayer journal, missionary Sarah Young decided to listen to God with pen in hand, writing down whatever she believed He was saying to her. It was awkward at first, but gradually her journaling changed from monologue to dialogue. She knew her writings were not inspired as Scripture is, but journaling helped her grow closer to God. Others were blessed as she shared her writings, until people all over the world were using her messages. They are written from Jesus point of view, thus the title Jesus Calling. It is Sarahs fervent prayer that our Savior may bless readers with His presence and His peace in ever deeper measure. ©2012 Thomas Nelson (P)2012 Thomas Nelson, Inc. Members Reviews: Just like Jesus is writing just to me! What did you love best about Jesus Calling? Love how this book is written in first person. Jesus gives me direction each day. Then the Bible verses of where the "advise" comes from. The book has inspired me to begin a daily journal in which I write a letter back to Jesus about the daily direction he has for me and the verses. As a follow up, a group of friends and I send each other a short summary from the daily devotional like..."It's hard to fall down when you are holding hands with Jesus! It's so encouraging. You should try it! So Disappointed in audio presentation This devotional book is absolutely wonderful--a daily meditation accompanied by several Bible verses to connect the devotional. How disappointed I was that the audio devotional does not include the reading of the scripture verses. I try to read "Jesus Calling" every morning while I sit at my makeup table. Especially days that I work or have early morning commitments, I hoped to be able to listen to the narrated meditation INCLUDING the scripture verses. I guess it is more important for me to read and meditate instead. Changed my everything I never knew how much I was dwelled into myself. I kept complaining about how empty and sad I felt . I felt horrible witnessing sinful and corrupted acts in the world. I've grown weary and tired I told my Father. I told him I hate seeing this happening to the world. I couldn't find happiness in anything I used to love. I was in self-pity. This story encouraged me to trust in my Father . To trust that my footsteps will be lighter when he is at my side. Though life can distract or pull me down, God was always there to lift me up. I became aware of his existence and how much peace I have by having my Lord as my daily companion. He is more than I want in a friend or a boyfriend. I don't any different companion to hear me talk about anything . Because I know he would love to hear anything I have to say. His time was always for me . My trust soothes his ache and pain of the world. He became my everything. Everything I can't live without. Everyday I yearn for this oxygen that kept me breathing . Sustaining happiness and serenity that kept encouraging to keep living for Him. " When Christ is the reason to live, there is no reason to give up." I learned so much more about Him. Bless Sara Young for sharing this magnificent story. Thank you God for sending me these amazing messages you wanted me to hear. I trust in you Jesus.

The declarations will affirm God's blessings in the area of health, family legacy, decisions, finances, thoughts, outlook, and overcoming obstacles. Members Reviews: Inspiring and Uplifting I love to listen to Joel Osteen's calm and soothing voice, specially when I feel overwhelmed by daily stressors. Nothing better to uplift my spirit and motivate my faith. This book changed my life I was in a dark place, suicidal, alone, and didn't know where to turn. My mother told me to get this book. I joined audible just to get to these 31 promises. when I started this journey my ex-husband had just left me, I was making 40k in a job I hated and raising 3 children who were also hurting due the domestic abuse in our home. my self esteem and self worth levels were at ZERO. But God sent me Joel Osteen's book. I listened and recited these declarations every day, several times a day. I wrote them down and kept them in my pocket everywhere I went. and one day I started to believe them. within one week I got a job interview for an international company. I got that job with the opportunity to travel all over the world and a 20K increase. 6 months later i doubled that income with a job that paid me six figueres. My kids and I are still healing and got healthy. I lost 30 pounds. I filed for divorce because I had the strength to believe I could live a better life and move on. and life is better in every way. not perfect, but I've been so blessed. now, every time I need to be reminded of God's promises and love, I listen to this book. I don't write reviews, but want to tell anyone considering buying this book not to wait. Your life can start changing TODAY. Thank you Pastor Osteen and Praise God! Great uplifting positive messages for everyday! Would you consider the audio edition of I Declare to be better than the print version? I think it is great to listen to this everyday for inspiration and hope. What about Joel Osteens performance did you like? He reads with emotion and clarity One of my top three books in the last decade! For any believing Christian or believer in a benevolent universe (and all points in between), this book is a gift of positivity, hope and self-empowerment. For Christians especially, Joel Osteen uses biblical scriptures to teach a God of hope, abundance, and action. I have personally read, listened to, and annotated this book probably 30 times. The message is both simple and deep; believe in yourself because God believes in you. Think, speak and do good and the cosmos (God) will answer in kind. I've read many of Joel Osteen's very good books, but no other book of his (or anyone's for that matter) hits home so clearly in so few words. Not only a must-read, but a must-reread, over and over! Best Motivational Book Would you listen to I Declare again? Why? I listen to some parts of this book daily. It's like having your own personal life coach. I recommend this book to anyone, regardless of your faith. Who was your favorite character and why? My favorite character was ME.

Members Reviews: An excellent and objective view if church history This book significantly changed my understanding of church history, while affirming and strenthening my commitment to an understanding of Christianity that is free from statism and hierarchicalism, both of which have been a plague on true bielievers. Good information but tedious Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not? It depends. If they are a fan of history than yes, if not then no. What three words best describe Michael Kramers voice? I love Michael Kramer's voice. I've listened to two books of his and he did great with both. Could you see The Story of Christianity, Vol. 2, Revised and Updated being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be? No, this is a dry history read. Any additional comments? The author no doubt did great research and laid out the history from the reformation and on. However I just couldn't get into this like I did with volume 1. I think the format made it difficult to follow and at times the details got repetitive by rehashing the same movement for each region. an astounding work The audio rendition of this classic, now updated, book is worthy of the text. The author delivers what amounts to the best narrative sketch of complete church history that is available to us. The narration of this title is excellent , well paced, clear voiced and enjoyable to listen to.

The Day the Revolution Began Audiobook by N. T. Wright

Title: The Day the Revolution Began Subtitle: Reconsidering the Meaning of Jesus's Crucifixion Author: N. T. Wright Narrator: James Langton Format: Unabridged Length: 15 hrs and 5 mins Language: English Release date: 10-11-16 Publisher: HarperAudio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 269 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: The renowned scholar, Anglican bishop, and best-selling author widely considered to be the heir to C. S. Lewis contemplates the central event at the heart of the Christian faith - Jesus' crucifixion - arguing that the Protestant Reformation did not go far enough in transforming our understanding of its meaning. In The Day the Revolution Began, N. T. Wright once again challenges commonly held Christian beliefs, as he did in his acclaimed Surprised by Hope. Demonstrating the rigorous intellect and breathtaking knowledge that have long defined his work, Wright argues that Jesus' death on the cross was not only to absolve us of our sins, it was actually the beginning of a revolution commissioning the Christian faithful to a new vocation - a royal priesthood responsible for restoring and reconciling all of God's creation. Wright argues that Jesus' crucifixion must be understood within the much larger story of God's purposes to bring heaven and earth together. The Day the Revolution Began offers a grand picture of Jesus' sacrifice and its full significance for the Christian faith, inspiring believers with a renewed sense of mission, purpose, and hope and reminding them of the crucial role the Christian faith must play in protecting and shaping the future of the world. Members Reviews: Standard Wright, both the strengths and weaknesses Summary: NT Wright, using his traditional tools of biblical narrative theology and 1st century Jewish/Christian cultural understanding assesses some of the areas where our understanding of the atonement differs from early Christian understanding of the atonement. The Day the Revolution Began: Reconsidering the Meaning of Jesuss Crucifixion is most connected to Wrights earlier Surprised by Hope. It is not quite a sequel to Surprised by Hope, but it is in the same thread of Wrights work. Surprised by Hope pointed out the way that the theology of the after life (eschatology), especially dispensational theology, distorts not just our understanding of our Christianity, but how we practice our Christianity. The Day the Revolution began is attempting to do the same type of analysis with our theology of the atonement. I assume that many of NT Wrights traditional critics will also disapprove of this book. Wrights minimization of Penal Substitution (which has been clear in much of Wrights writing) is explicit here. Wright is not saying that Penal Substitution is wrong. He is saying that the focus on Penal Substitution as the primary or only way to look at the atonement distorts our understanding of what Jesus did on the Cross. My traditional approach to Wright is to listen to the book on audiobook once, than re-read it again later in print. This allows me to get an overview of the argument and then to focus more clearly on the parts of the argument on the re-read. This is certainly a book that I am going to need to re-read to fully understand, maybe twice. One of the reasons that many get irritated with Wright is that is keeps presenting his ideas as either new, or the first return to correct understanding in hundreds of years. If you are irritated about that, you will be irritated here. Wrights strength is connecting the broad narrative sweep of scripture and the 1st century era culture.

Conversations with God: An Uncommon Dialogue, Book 2 Audiobook by Neale Walsch

Title: Conversations with God: An Uncommon Dialogue, Book 2 Author: Neale Walsch Narrator: Ellen Burstyn, Ed Asner Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 35 mins Language: English Release date: 10-30-08 Publisher: Phoenix Books Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 650 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Conversations with God is Neale Donald Walsch's account of his direct conversations with God, beginning in 1992 while Walsch was immersed in a period of deep depression. He composed a letter to God in which he vented his frustrations, and much to his surprise, even shock, God answered him. Focusing on the universal truths that influences all life, Conversations with God offers a picture of the way life could be better. Conversations with God challenges us to push past the imagined boundaries of what we believe ourselves capable and look instead to all than we can attain as co-creators with God. Members Reviews: Oh come on! Loved Book 1, really believed that Mr. Walsch had that "conversation" with God, because many of his points and explanations for things unseen made perfect sense as "God" explained them. However, Book 2 is a little hard to swallow. God recommends a particular private school as the best one for our kids? God quotes government statistics to argue His points? Trust me, I really want to believe that a conversation with God is possible, but I found myself rolling my eyes and shaking my head far too much while listening to Book 2. There is a Book 3 but I am reluctant to buy it after listening to Book 2. Book 2 took away much of the hope and enlightenment I felt after listening to Book 1 and replaced it with more of the same old skepticism and doubt. Incredible, feels true If Neale reads this, maybe he can find out why our forgetfulness is key? This was mentioned but not expanded upon as promised. I would sure like to be able to retain all skills and knowledge that we have learned but forgotten not only in this life but previous ones. It sure seems a shame to waste 20-30 years of every life to learn new skills and relearn old ones. It was consistently stated that our forgetfulness is key to the plan, and that we aren't here to learn, yet with our often failing memories we must learn and relearn. It was said that we are here to remember, and that we know all, future, past events and knowledge of everything. Maybe this is what is gained through meditation, but it doesn't allow one to necessarily practice medicine. It would be great to say I know all about any subject and it be true and socially accepted. It would have been more credible had Neale not mentioned "The Course in Miracles", as the subject matter is very similar. We are constantly evolving spiritually and mentally as a human race: This series seems similar to the difference theologically speaking between democracy and tribal headhunters. Looking back with 20 /20 vision we may say later, how did we ever have such a narrow mind on theology to assume that God is limited to our mental constructs. 400 years ago we thought we could fall off the edge of the earth. I'm in favor of widened beliefs. One thing has me puzzled. If we exist in all moments seperately, how does our consciousness seem so serially connected? What is the miniscule moment of time or awareness that each seperate one of us endures? When time seems to stand still, maybe it's because this moment is experienced by many of our imagined identities and held in awe by each. Great inspirational book & narriation too Would you listen to Conversations with God Book 2 again? Why? Yes, because it is a book that has so much information.

Members Reviews: Some great points, but This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? I think this book might be better enjoyed read than as a audio book. The author quotes long bible passages which are better absorbed by reading off the page. Beautiful I loved the book! In the first chapter I cried so much. Only because she helped me to see how much God loves me and how much he genuinely cares about me. Definitely an inspiration and revealed to me how destructive insecurity really is and how much The Holy Spirit wants to be apart of our lives daily to aid and remind us who we are in Christ. Great inspiration for teens and any woman Phenomenal Book This book has been therapy for me. I am so blessed to have stumbled across Lisa BEVERE and discovered this book. There couldn't have been a much better time than now for me to have read this book. I'm so thankful that I Took the time out to listen in. So many words can't describe how my change on perspective of who I am and who I am becoming and my purpose from the revelation in the teachings of this book. Thank you Lisa BEVERE for ministering through your words in this book. Every girl needs to hear this! And every man! Lisa nailed it- the rival and gender problems women have with each other and men. She also tells great stories on how to overcome and rise up to be the mighty women of God we are meant to be! Great book! I really loved this book...I just had a hard time sometimes with the narrative. overall, though, excellent reading!

The Language of God Audiobook by Francis S. Collins

Title: The Language of God Subtitle: A Scientist Presents Evidence for Belief Author: Francis S. Collins Narrator: Francis S. Collins Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 16 mins Language: English Release date: 07-17-06 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1130 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Dr. Francis Collins, head of the Human Genome Project, is one of the world's leading scientists, yet he is also a man of unshakable faith in God and scripture. Dr. Collins has resolved the dilemma that haunts everyone who believes in God and respects science. Faith in God and faith in science can be harmonious, not separately but together, combined into one worldview. For Collins, science does not conflict with the Bible, science enhances it. The Language of God makes the case for God and for science. Dr. Collins considers and dismisses several positions along the spectrum from atheism to young-earth creationism, including agnosticism and Intelligent Design. Instead, he proposes a new synthesis, a new way to think about an active, caring God who created humankind through evolutionary processes. He explains his own journey from atheism to faith, and then takes listeners on a stunning tour of modern science to show that physics, chemistry, and biology can all fit together with belief in God and the Bible. The Language of God is essential for anyone who wonders about the deepest questions of all: Why are we here? How did we get here? And what does life mean? Critic Reviews: "Collins' credibility as a scientist and his sincerity as a believer make for an engaging combination, especially for those who, like him, resist being forced to choose between science and God." (Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: For those on the fence This book's greatest attribute is that it provides the current nonbeliever with reasons to consider and ultimately acknowledge the existence of god Because of this, it is best read by non believers or at least those 'on the fence' re: belief in god. The negative reviews by others appear to be from people who believed in god prior to reading the book and were dissappointed that the author did not touch upon discussions that resonated with them. It is not clear why they take a negative view toward the approach of someone else who also has strong belief in god, but this is another matter. I take the target audience to be those like the author in his younger day...someone who does not believe in god because it 'cant' be proven' or have no opinion on god because it is a safe position to take. This book provides reasons why it is reasonable for 'even a scientist' to believe in god. As a scientist myself, I found his arguments to be very understandable and plausible and worthy of thought and consideration. I don't know what more could be said of a book on this topic.

God's Perfect Timing Audiobook by Rev J Martin

Title: God's Perfect Timing Subtitle: Surrender, Trust in Him Author: Rev J Martin Narrator: Marnye Young Format: Unabridged Length: 26 mins Language: English Release date: 10-31-16 Publisher: Forever Young Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 117 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Without question, one of the hardest things to do is wait for god's timing. In this fast-paced world in which we live, things are set up for maximum speed and efficiency. Technology is now moving faster than ever before. Smartphones are so cutting edge that they allow news events to arrive seconds after they actually occur. We are so used to everything moving at lightning speed that we have a very hard time adjusting to the slower pace that god likes to work things out. Dazed and confused, we look for answers in all the wrong places. Our life becomes directed by fear instead of faith. We grow disheartened. Our faith can weaken. If you watch a seed grow, you will not see much change from one day to the next. Although, without water and care, it will die. Faith is no different. There are perfect times in your future when your life will blossom. All that god asks is for you to wait for them to be revealed. Thing is, we do not like to wait. Many times when life is not going as we like, we force things to happen. God's timing is not good enough for us. Pushing life is like digging up a seed to check if it has germinated. This may sound crazy, but this is exactly what people do when they don't wait for god's timing. We pray. We have faith. But we lack an essential ingredient. Often we need to be reminded of the fruits that come from waiting. If you learn to wait for god's timing, your life will overflow with grace. Surely that is not for me? Yes, it can be. During this audiobook, I will share with you what scripture says about waiting for god's timing. Powerful. Stories of those that listened and also those that did not. Enlightening. Members Reviews: Splendid Spiritual Words of Wisdom. This book was a beautiful reminder of God's perfect timing. All I need do is have Faith and Relax. Very well written. Thoughtful , thought provoking Very easy to follow. Thought provoking and great narration with feeling and understanding . it makes you want to go back a NB d check the verses in your Bible. Great Read
I really enjoyed this book. Thank You Loved it. Will recommend it to anyone. Thanks again for writings such a good book. Be still! Encouraging and refreshing for the weary soul! Highly recommend and share it! Praises to God! Tears of Hope Amazing audiobook! I have experienced that hardest trials and tribulations in this past year at the age of 22. After losing my mother to a drunk driver, my grandfather passed, and now Im unexpectedly going to be a mother. It is true sometimes God does things throughout your life to test your true value of character. Thats why I willingly trust in his timing knowing that his plans for me are better than I ever imagined. GODS NOT DONE! Brendi Miller Mississippi

Title: Kingdom Woman Subtitle: Embracing Your Purpose, Power, and Possibilities Author: Tony Evans, Chrystal Evans Hurst Narrator: Tony Evans, Chrystal Evans Hurst Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 15 mins Language: English Release date: 11-24-15 Publisher: christianaudio.com Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 260 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: A kingdom woman gives the devil as much reason to fear as a kingdom man. She lives confidently in the knowledge that Christ died and rose for her so that she can experience the significance of the destiny to which she has been called. In Kingdom Woman, Tony Evans and his daughter, Chrystal Evans Hurst, remind women of their calling from God to be free, delivered, healed, and hopeful. The authors bring insight that encourages women to correct distorted perceptions and understand who they really are in Christ - never settling for less when connected with the one who gives them hope. All believers are covered by God's covenant with Abraham. Evans and Hurst want women to know these rights and confidently claim and live by them. The new covenant offers more than a life of mediocrity. A kingdom woman is called and empowered to live a life of victory through Christ! Members Reviews: love it! gave me insight on being purposeful this is a great listen for any woman who is wants to know how to handle life but live through the word. It is also good for married women to understand there role as well as single women. Life changing I was not expecting the unmistakable transformation that I received by the grace of God and His will being delivered through the pages of this book. I have not been able to put it down!! Two days ago I was struggling with my bad choices of having an affair, wanting to divorce the man who chose to have mercy on me and forgive me... The man who chose to love me unconditionally. Unsure of the purpose of staying in my marriage I just wanted to give up. Not just on my marriage but on this life I couldn't seem to get right. I had lost my joy and will to fight. But now? I'm so glad I held on long enough to receive the gifts of this book. My heart is full, and there is a love for my husband growing inside me that I have never had the joy of experiencing. My eyes have been opened to a new and true understanding of Gods love for me and purpose for my life. Thank you! loved it This book was truly a blessing to me. it is definitely a must read! Kingdom woman wow great insight, biblical examples, very inspiring. I would totally recommend this to my friends always Inspired Loved it! Will read again and again. Will recommend to others. Great book for married and single women.

The Benedict Option Audiobook by Rod Dreher

Title: The Benedict Option Subtitle: A Strategy for Christians in a Post-Christian Nation Author: Rod Dreher Narrator: Adam Verner Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 24 mins Language: English Release date: 03-14-17 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 423 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: The light of the Christian faith is flickering out all over the West. American churches are beset by a rapidly secularizing culture, the departure of young people, and watered-down pseudo-spirituality. Political solutions have failed, as the self-destruction of the Republican Party indicates, and the future of religious freedom has never been in greater doubt. The center is not holding. The West, cut off from its Christian roots, is falling into a new Dark Age. The good news is that there is a blueprint for a time-tested Christian response to this decline. In The Benedict Option, Dreher calls on traditional Christians to learn from the example of St. Benedict of Nursia, a sixth-century monk who turned from the chaos and decadence of the collapsing Roman Empire and found a new way to live out the faith in community. For five difficult centuries, Benedict's monks kept the faith alive through the Dark Ages, and prepared the way for the rebirth of civilization. The Benedict Option shows believers how to build the resilience to face the modern world with the confidence and fervor of the early church. Christians face a time of choosing, with the fate of Christianity in Western civilization hanging in the balance. In this powerful challenge to complacency, Dreher shows why churches who fail to take the Benedict Option aren't going to make it. Members Reviews: Framing is wrong. But not all bad There have been so many good reviews and helpful critiques of The Benedict Option that I know I am not going to bring anything new to the discussion. But this is the internet and so I am going to critique it anyway. Andy Crouch has a post about the problem of the reaction to the Benedict Option is that 90% of the complaints are about 20% of the book (increasing social and cultural hostility to the church). While 80% of the book is devoted to the problems of a lack of meaningful discipleship and how that is causing a collapse of Christian belief and practice and only 10% of the buzz about the book is reacting to that much bigger claim. This is largely true. The problem is that the 20% that is getting the strongly negative reaction fundamentally sets the stage for the 80% of the book that I think is more important. Because the assumptions are wrong, I believe the answers given are then wrong, or at least fundamentally flawed. It is hard to completely describe what the Benedict Option is. Because after 10 years of Dreher writing about it, he still seems to say that the project as described by almost anyone else other than himself misses his point. At the very least, the Benedict Option is a means of refocusing the church on discipling the young (in both age and Christian maturity) so that they can better stand up to the cultural currents of the age that seek to unmoor Christians from true (small o) orthodox faith. There is much to agree with in that minimal description of the purpose of the book. Every age needs to pay attention to the particular problems of the age that pulls at the church and attempts to harm the soul of the church.

(Un)Qualified Audiobook by Steven Furtick

Title: (Un)Qualified Subtitle: How God Uses Broken People to Do Big Things Author: Steven Furtick Narrator: Kaleo Griffith Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 1 min Language: English Release date: 03-01-16 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 587 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Who You Think You Are Is Not as Important as Who God Says You Are Many of us wrestle with the gap between our weaknesses and our dreams, between who we are and who God says we are meant to be. We feel unqualified to do God's work or to live out the calling we imagine. But God has a way of using our weaknesses for good. In fact, God loves unqualified people. In (Un)Qualified, Pastor Steven Furtick helps you peel back the assumptions you've made about yourself and see yourself as God sees you. Because true peace and confidence come not from worldly perfection but from acceptance: God's acceptance of you, your acceptance of yourself, and your acceptance of God's process of change. This is a book about understanding your identity in light of who God is. It's a book about coming to terms with the good, the bad, and the unmentionable in your life and learning to let God use you. It's about charging into the gap between your present and your hopes and meeting God there. After all, God can't bless who you pretend to be. But he longs to bless who you really are; a flawed and broken person. Good thing for us that God is in the business of using broken people to do big things. Being Unqualified Is God's Favorite Qualification Our culture tells us that the answer to our failures is to fix them. The solution to our weaknesses is to hide them. The secret to our success is to appear as flawless as possible. But God's qualifying system is different than the world's. So is his view of our weaknesses, our purpose, and our true selves. In (Un)Qualified, Steven Furtick explores who God is as the great "I AM", and then helps us discover our own identity. Delving into the story of Jacob, Furtick invites us to acknowledge our weaknesses and ask God to work through them. The truth is, God has created us to be more, to accomplish more, and to love life more than we ever thought possible. But to become who he has called us to be, we must embrace who we are right now. (Un)Qualified equips us to face obstacles and failures without losing a sense of purpose. We can have a thriving sense of hope that God is working in us and through us, not in spite of our weaknesses but often as a direct result of them. Critic Reviews: " (Un)Qualified will take you from self-doubt and insecurity to a renewed trust in the God who called and equipped you for his will and purpose." (Joyce Meyer, Bible teacher and New York Times best-selling author) "God doesn't call the qualified. He qualifies the called. This book will challenge you and encourage you into a life characterized by prayerful dependence and decisiveness - your life will never be the same." (Mark Batterson, lead pastor of National Community Church, Washington, DC, and New York Times best-selling author of The Circle Maker) "Not only does Pastor Steven give voice to the hurt we so often stuff down deep when someone makes us feel as if we're not good enough, but he also points us back to the only One who can truly measure our potential. (Un)Qualified will strategically and biblically show you that even when we're overlooked by people, we are handpicked by God to play a part in his magnificent plan.

It was such a joy to read, and I'm walking away with numerous pages of notes and also a new, fuller perspective on how to get into the Word. Jen, who I quickly came to just love, doesn't necessarily give an easy five step plan for how to read the Bible and magically get the most out of it, but she unpacks the meaning of being a true woman OF the Word, and how to truly read, know, understand, and maybe even teach it to other women. I am so thankful for this book, and wholeheartedly recommend it to women who want to know the Word. Beneficial! Inspiring! This book gave me something I feel like I never learned growing up in the church: tools. Tools of practicality. How do I actually dig in to Gods word and make life application? This book tells you exactly that. Loved it! wonderful all the way through the conclusion This book really does show you the privilege we have in studying God's Word. The information on how to study is to the point and not too wordy. If you are a teacher there is amazing encouragement and guidance on how to teach well. I walked away from this book with a desire to know my God better and the joy of knowing I can. review Great practical, concise book for equipping women with strategies to study the Bible in order to draw closer to the Lord. Great perspective I liked the new ways she shows how to study the Bible. all the ways are easy to follow and helps you did in deeper to the word to know God more. She is a great story teller that helps you understand different stories in the Bible.

Title: Reading the Bible Supernaturally Subtitle: Seeing and Savoring the Glory of God in Scripture Author: John Piper Narrator: Jim Denison Format: Unabridged Length: 13 hrs and 41 mins Language: English Release date: 05-18-17 Publisher: christianaudio.com Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 53 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: The Bible reveals glorious things. And yet we often miss its power because we read it the same way we read any other book. In Reading the Bible Supernaturally, best-selling author John Piper teaches us how to read the Bible in light of its divine author. In doing so, he highlights the Bible's unique ability to reveal God to humanity in a way that informs our minds, transforms our hearts, and ignites our love. With insights into the biblical text drawn from decades of experience studying, preaching, and teaching scripture, Piper helps us experience the transformative power of God's word - a power that extends beyond the mere words. Ultimately, Piper shows us that in the seemingly ordinary act of reading the Bible, something supernatural happens: we encounter the living God. Members Reviews: Deep Breath I say deep breath because one, it was incredible hearing Piper dig into how he's come to reading the Bible, two, there's so much more to learn, and three, it's going to be a long journey to read and study this book over and over again. READING THE BIBLE SUPERNATURALLY This is a must have for your Library. This Book is read naturally and truly is an asset to explain the Bible simply without taking any thing away from it. Reading citations detracts. I could not listen and get the flow of thought because every citation was read. I returned it to Audible. I may try it in print so that I can skip over the citations when not important to me. Just the tip of the iceberg! Easy read, food for thought. So much to learn. I'm glad this is not a race. Book was great, narrator was mediocre The book was another masterpiece by John Piper. However, the person the had reading the book in the audiobook formatting was mediocre. He did not convey emotion, and Piper is a very emotive pastor and writer, so the narrator did a disservice to the book, to Piper, and to the listener.

Title: When Helping Hurts: How to Alleviate Poverty without Hurting the Poor...and Yourself (2009 Edition) Author: Brian Fikkert Narrator: Danny Campbell Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 17 mins Language: English Release date: 03-23-10 Publisher: christianaudio.com Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 344 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Churches and individual Christians typically have faulty assumptions about the causes of poverty, resulting in the use of strategies that do considerable harm to poor people and themselves. When Helping Hurts provides foundational concepts, clearly articulated general principles and relevant applications. The result is an effective and holistic ministry to the poor, not a truncated gospel. Members Reviews: Often done, rarely discussed - POVERTY RELIEF This book gave me new insights into what we do to help those in need. Often, we mistakenly throw in money thinking it will help solve problems quickly. The author illustrates how this is frequently detrimental to local believers, and gives certain suggestions on what we can do to help with a view to sustainable ministry.Highly recommended! When Helping Hurts Great book for anyone who is involved in a mission trip. Very good guide to learning how to give, without giving it away. Do you want to help the poor? Then read this. Any additional comments? This is an excellent book for anyone that wants to help the poor. This is a required read for anyone in our church that wants to go on a mission trip or start an outreach. Amazing, practical book This book is an amazing practical book for anyone considering helping the poor. It is a frank description of the pitfalls of potential methods for poverty alleviation based on experience. Followed by practical tips and use case examples that can be easily applied to your life. Buy this, listen, and apply it to your life. You will not be disappointed. The reader does a fairly good job. His voice is easy to listen to. I played it on 1.5 speed and had no trouble following along. Revolutionary thoughts! Where does When Helping Hurts: How to Alleviate Poverty without Hurting the Poor...and Yourself (2009 Edition) rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Number 2 Who was your favorite character and why? The Kenyan Church-- they worshiped God always, despite the poverty they faced daily. Which character as performed by Danny Campbell was your favorite? Brian Fikkert. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? When Helping Hurts: Changing the World and Ourselves. Any additional comments? This book was inspiring for me, as a future missionary. I was excited to see ideas that were already in my heart played out so well in this book. It was very confirming to know other people share the same ideas. I would TOTALLY suggest it to anyone wanting to make a difference in the world. The best part is that it disposes of the classic position of the helper, that we Americans are good and should give to others. The truth, (as discussed in this book) is that we are all broken and we all need help.... we change the world by first changing ourselves and accepting help from others. The next step is to poor out the good we are given into the people and circumstances around us. It's a must read!

Title: Twelve Ordinary Men Subtitle: How the Master Shaped His Disciples, and What He Wants to Do with You Author: John MacArthur Narrator: Lloyd James Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 19 mins Language: English Release date: 02-16-09 Publisher: christianaudio.com Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 273 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Jesus chose ordinary men - fisherman, tax collectors, political zealots - and turned their weakness into strength, producing greatness from utter uselessness. MacArthur draws principles from Christ's careful, hands-on training of the original 12 disciples for today's modern disciple - you. Members Reviews: Insightful and thought provoking. What made the experience of listening to Twelve Ordinary Men the most enjoyable? This book helps you to understand each of the disciples background. It gave great insight into the characteristics and how Jesus dealt with each of them. Great book for leaders who have to deal with people of differing personalities. A must read for Pastors. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? Chapter two was the most impactful for me because he talked about Peter and that is who I am compared to by people. It helped me to understand more how people see me. Any additional comments? Every Pastor should have a copy of this in their library. Difficult Listen: More dissertation than story. The content of this audio book was wonderful. A well-researched, accurate depiction of Biblical content. However, it wasn't the most enjoyable listen. It had the feel of a dissertation that sometimes morphed into a sermon. I absolutely love John MacArthur, so this review in no way reflects his knowledge of the bible. But, if you want to listen to a "story" about the disciples, I don't feel this hits the mark. My primary difficulty resulted from the narrator's need to cite references throughout the audio. So start with content then stop for a bibliographic reference. It really disrupted the story flow for me. A professoral look at the Twelve Broken Men. The book was a gift from a good friend. I had to get used to the style it was presented in. After I stayed with it I was blown away at the story telling and knowledge. it is a beautiful story of faith that was not always easy. I felt that I was there walking with them. So much makes more sense now. This book is really worth your time. Just start it and let it play. Interesting and Enjoyable Would you listen to Twelve Ordinary Men again? Why? Yes. I learned a new way of thinking about these men. Any additional comments? Easy to listen. Reader had a very good voice. Very fascinating and enlightening What made the experience of listening to Twelve Ordinary Men the most enjoyable? This was a very unique, enlightening, informative look into the apostles. I think I might have learned a few of these nuggets in a study here or there but never would have had it all just specifically laid out for me. Knowing each of their characters, strengths and mostly weaknesses and how God used them was inspiring. If He can do something amazing with these flawed men why not me too? What did you like best about this story? Very informative and insightful. What does Lloyd James bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? I probably would never have read this book, but I sure loved listening to it. That's the great thing about audio books. If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be? The story of ordinary men God used in extraordinary ways.

Lectures to My Students Audiobook by Charles Spurgeon

Title: Lectures to My Students Author: Charles Spurgeon Narrator: Grover Gardner Format: Unabridged Length: 21 hrs and 11 mins Language: English Release date: 02-28-12 Publisher: Zondervan Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 230 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: One contemporary scholar and authority on Spurgeon says of this work: "Next to Mr. Spurgeon's great literary work, The Treasury of David, we consider (these) Lectures to My Students his greatest single contribution to the Christian world. There is more practical wisdom, common sense and sage advice packed within these pages than with any other book of similar size, or content." This complete and unabridged edition of Spurgeon's great work will make it possible for today's generation to appreciate Spurgeon's combination of discerning wit and refreshingly practical advice. Included in the twenty-eight chapters of this classic volume are lectures such as: As were all of Spurgeon's messages to his people, each of these lectures is Scripture-saturated and Christ-honoring. They move swiftly and are fascinating in their content and sage counsel. Members Reviews: One of the Greatest Pastors of his generation I have enjoyed listening to this book many times since I bought it. I find it very enjoyable. C.H. Spurgeon was not a formally educated man but was a lifelong student of the Christian faith once he was converted at age 19. He became a preacher who, before microphones could be heard by a crowd of 23,000 people. He actually asked his faithful to stay at home every fourth Sunday so the "unbelievers" would have a chance to hear him. I have read or studied many of the books put out this generation about this pastor that died 120 years ago. This and many other books have been written in contemporary English as many of the words that were used in Spurgeons day and age are antiquated and not easy to understand. I highly recommend this if you like to listen to the Classic Christian Pastors such as Wesley, Jonathan Edwards, and George Whitfield. Sean Mooney Timeless and priceless Where does Lectures to My Students rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Absolutely one of the best books I've listened to. Which character as performed by Grover Gardner was your favorite? The narration was absolutely amazing. I have never heard Charles Spurgeon speak, however Grover Gardner brings his words to life so much that I'm often tempted to think I'm listening to the author himself!!! Any additional comments? I often catch myself marveling at how current and relevant this is even though he lived so long ago. I would heartily recommend it to everyone considering serving in ministry. strong preaching loved it. 21 hours of quality gospel teaching. the narration captures the meaning of the text, but I imagine him with a deeper voice. Still the best book for preachers Where does Lectures to My Students rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? This book is a little out of date for some things but for the principles that make for a good preacher, you cannot beat it. Read portions of this book 40 years ago but it was good to listen to it straight through (over several days) Loved It!!! Spurgeon always delights! The Prince of. preachers is just wonderful! He had a pastor's heart.

Loving Our Kids on Purpose Audiobook by Danny Silk

Title: Loving Our Kids on Purpose Subtitle: Making a Heart-to-Heart Connection Author: Danny Silk Narrator: Troy Klein Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 29 mins Language: English Release date: 07-29-16 Publisher: Destiny Image Publishers Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 171 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: You can raise good kids! Loving Our Kids on Purpose combines the principles of the Kingdom of God and revival to form a powerful strategy for parents. Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is freedom. (2 Corinthians 3:17). Rather than the traditional approaches that train children to learn to accept being controlled by well-meaning parents and adults, this book teaches parents how to train children to manage their freedoms and protect their important heart-to-heart relationships. Children were designed with the core need of freedom. To deny this or live ignorant of it eventually destroys the trust connection between parent and child. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.(1 John 4:18 NKJV). Loving Our Kids on Purpose introduces paradigms, perceptions, skills, and ideas that will help parents reduce fear by eliminating the tool of punishment, and strengthening the core character of their children by empowering their self-control and value for their relationship with their parents. Members Reviews:
Your kids maybe grown but it's not to late to improve your relationship with them. must read This book will challenge you to rethink the way you have been taught to treat people and most of all your kids. It is a must read for all families and anyone in between. parenting skills At first I wasn't sure about his parenting methods but as I have been doing them (mind you its only 3 days) there has been overwhelming peace. I'm not yelling and my children are having to take responsibility. I was raised by a yelling and overpowering mother and wanted different for ny kids but didn't know another way without the yelling. It so makes sense, I didn't like my boss who was a yeller and angry, but a boss that treats me well but I also know that I will have a consequence if I don't get my job done, thats the one I work harder for, respect and love to work for. Thank you Danny for something different and Biblically based Wow! this should be required reading for every parent whether it's a Christian home or not The first chapter is great, need salt for the rest I really liked how the first chapter compared the author's interpretation of old testament and new testament parenting. It was not complete in debate and discussion, but it effectively got the point across. This gives me some good things to ponder. Now the book still fell short because it failed to back up much of the great premise in the first chapter. Also, it did not have much tools that correlated well to the premise, or at least it was not made clear on a high enough level. It also had a lot of personal stories that were used to back up the points, but the result was not as clear cut as the author's bias might presume it to be. There are other factors going in to the story that may be beyond just the application inputs. Much of the book seems like another means of control. Do this, say this, and give theses choices, and get these results from your kids behavior. I do like the part at the end about sharing your heart, "this made me sad" to share a connection.

Members Reviews: Great reading of a christian classic Great reading of a christian classic. Tozer's insights are timeless. Christians would do well to meditate on this topic more. Once again, Tozer's Message... is to those for whom the divine has become a playground of church socials, sing-a-longs and comforting, warm and fuzzy little sermons about Ruth and Naomi, for those who have long left behind the deeper and harder seekings after goodness, truth and justice in its purest and most challenging form. Tozer's message is one that always needs to be heard and heeded. Timeless Godly encouter Any additional comments? Great read, Listen. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to see a glimpse of God, who wants to know God better and who wants to understand the God we serve and worship. Such an inspiring book! Excellent reading! It will certainly challenge your understanding of the divine and bring you closer to the true God. It can be a great way to spend your daily devotional time. Essential reading. Anyone who wants to understand and know God. New or prospective Christians need to read this.

In this book you will discover the seven greatest prayers that will create a life-changing, heartfelt relationship with God. Being both a study and a prayer devotional The 7 Most Powerful Prayers That Will Change Your Life Forever will teach you the seven most important keys for growing nearer to him. Members Reviews: Prayers Boring. The book quotes short Bible verses throughout the entire time. The narrator speaks very rapidly. It was like listening to a Religious TV personality. I do not recommend. Not the New Testament message of hope I believe in. Houge says that with enough faith all things are possible but only if God has communicated to you that it is his will for you. WOW, what a conditional, limiting and depressing interpretation of what Jesus was saying in, "whatsoever things you shall ask for when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you shall have them". No place did I read Him mention, " but only if It's God's will. I think I'll stick with the hope and peace derived from that verse along with another great one about our personal power, "I can do ALL things through Christ Who strengthens me". nothing new. repeat with different words. did no did not give any inspiration. words were not from the heart. need more than words . Great Information This book has fantastic advice and information about God's word and how he sees, desires and loves us... And I'm only about 4 chapters in can't wait to hear the rest Power of Prayer I'm. not done reading or listening to the book but so far it is a Great book, very peaceful, it's tranquility.
