Title: Life Together Subtitle: The Classic Exploration of Faith in Community Author: Dietrich Bonhoeffer Narrator: Paul Michael Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 37 mins Language: English Release date: 04-07-09 Publisher: christianaudio.com Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 363 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: After his martyrdom at the hands of the Gestapo in 1945, Dietrich Bonhoeffer continued his witness in the hearts of Christians around the world. His ©1978 Dietrich Bonhoeffer; (P)2009 christianaudio.com Members Reviews: Fantástico!! Before this review, I listened to it twice and will listen again next week. This book is packed with so much Truth and Love. I found myself convicted on a few pages. Oh if the Church could lives as described in these pages, the souls we could when for the Kingdom of God. (John 13:34-35) Life Together creates a desire for community Today many congregations have trouble worshipping together for an hour. In Life Together Bonhoeffer awakens a desire for Christian community beyond the Lord's day and a few meetings during the week. Life Together shares a desire for a full Life Together in Christ. More than we practice What made the experience of listening to Life Together the most enjoyable? Bonhoeffer demonstrates for me how our life together as "fellowship" and "church" is so different than the richness of what it could and can be. Any additional comments? Some of the things about "Life Together" are particular to communal life, but the principles have a much broader application. Some great thoughts from an inspiring Christian Some interesting and simple thoughts by Bonhoeffer. There were some good nuggets in this short book about alien righteousness, the Psalms and how in them we find the praying Christ, and meditation. This work has really encouraged me to start again a morning devotional/time set a part for reading the word, singing, and prayer. He also had some interesting thoughts on singing and the idea of unity singing as a congregation. I fully agreed with him on the idea that our singing can turn into a work of self glorifying (my term) of sorts and that if we simply sing in unity it can be a form of corporate prayer. I'll have to read this one again, maybe next year, to get more out of it as simple as it was. There were also some very good ideas for evening devotionals as a family. Good content, but hard to keep focused on narrator Content is excellent and extremely useful, however the narrator sounds unexcited and is hard to stay focused on. I constantly found my mind wandering in thought and had to rewind to see what I missed. I would recommend the hard copy over the audio.

You'll Get Through This Audiobook by Max Lucado

Title: You'll Get Through This Subtitle: Hope and Help for Your Turbulent Times Author: Max Lucado Narrator: Wayne Shepherd Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 59 mins Language: English Release date: 11-01-13 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 230 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Joseph's pit came in the form of a cistern. Yours came in the form of a diagnosis, a foster home, or a traumatic injury. Joseph was thrown into a hole and despised. And you? Thrown into an unemployment line and forgotten, into a divorce and betrayed, into a bed and abused. The pit. Life is reduced to one quest: to get out and never get hurt again. Not simply done. Pits have no easy exit. Joseph's story got worse before it got better. Abandonment led to enslavement, entrapment, and imprisonment. He was sucker-punched. Sold out. Mistreated. People made promises only to break them. Offered gifts only to take them. If hurt is a swampland, then Joseph was sentenced to a life of hard labor in the Everglades. Yet he never gave up. Bitterness never staked its claim. Anger never metastasized into hatred. His heart never hardened; resolve never vanished. He not only survived; he thrived. By the end of his life, Joseph was the second most powerful man of his generation. His life offers this lesson: in God's hands, intended evil becomes ultimate good. Joseph would be the first to tell you, life in the pit stinks. Yet, for all its rottenness, doesn't the pit do this much? It forces you to look upward. Someone from up there must come down here and give you a hand. God did for Joseph. And at the right time, in the right way, he will do the same for you. Members Reviews: Getting Beyond Church - Making it Real This book was very much worth making a review. I read a lot of Christian material but this was my first Max Lucado book. I have heard of him and some of his material but this was the first full book. He tackles what is a very tough issue in a very biblical way. If you know the Lord and you are dealing with something very painful I highly recommend this book. Even if you aren't (at the moment) it is a great resource to go deeper with who our Father in heaven is, what he did for us thru His son Jesus Christ, who we are and how he wants us to know ourselves and him. I will listen to this again for sure. Finding the courage to keep going. What made the experience of listening to You'll Get Through This the most enjoyable? Hearing that trials may come but there is hope and God will bring you through. Just like God was with so many other's who wen through trials like we do and others who failed throughout the bible and God is still faithful to forgive and rescue. We may not understand why the circumstances of our lives are in such turmoil, but we can rely on the one who does! We will get through this and we know that the infinite will reach own and touch the finite and we will make it through to the Glory of God! AMEN!! Who was your favorite character and why? The stories of Joseph, Jesus, King David, etc....each one waiting 20, 30 or more years to see the start of their ministry or the victory and deliverance God had for them, including God's own son. He waited 33 years to start His earthly ministry. Only in His death was the fulfillment of God's most gracious gift of all to man. Salvation fulfilled. Just because we are waiting doesn't mean that we are not in God's will. What about Wayne Shepherds performance did you like? He has a calming and clear way of reading. Smooth transitions and appropriate inflections that made it flow instead of choppy.

Have a New Kid by Friday Audiobook by Kevin Leman

Title: Have a New Kid by Friday Subtitle: How to Change Your Child's Attitude, Behavior & Character in 5 Days Author: Kevin Leman Narrator: Wayne Shepherd Format: Abridged Length: 4 hrs and 30 mins Language: English Release date: 04-12-10 Publisher: Baker Publishing Group Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 264 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Have a New Kid by Friday shows parents how to reverse negative behavior in their children fast! Focusing on changing a child's attitude, behavior, and character, it contains chapters for each day of the week. Members Reviews: Didn't realize this was an abridged version. The first chapter gave an overview of what to do each day of the week to change your children's behaviour. Unfortunately, the more in-depth explanation and practical application of how to implement this program seems to be missing. The last 3 chapters are just an alphabetical list of possible situations and how to handle them. They are very brief and simplified and because it is in alphabetical order it doesn't really follow a logical order. I was a little bit disappointed not realizing that I had purchased an abridged version. Possibly better as a book to read vs. audio? Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? Yes! The information is great and very usuful. Leman's advice is spot on and has helped me raise my boys. What other book might you compare Have a New Kid by Friday to and why? Parenting By the Book! IT'S MY FAVORITE PARENTING BOOK SO FAR! What does Wayne Shepherd bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? well...this is my issue. Wayne did a great job...but I feel like the book was better written for READING versus LISTENING. The sequence of advice was hard for me to follow because the book jumps around a lot from age group to age group. I got lost...pretty often. I was also distracted by my kids, I'm sure....but if I was reading, I could have underlined important facts and taken notes on things that struck me! I'm gonna have to listen again to really retain all the info. If this book were a movie would you go see it? no Good one I recommend this. Good information. Good balanced approach that makes sense. It isn't a whimpy parenting book - do what ever feels good. Not too crazy - just good discipline and rules. Fantastic Book The concepts in this book were basic and clear. I especially loved how he used examples from children of all age groups. It was a good lesson plan. It was a very good lesson plan, especially after it was summarized. I I had to listen to it a couple of times because there was several repeated topics. it was not a very organized book. I think the chapters should have been set by age group or even buy problem categories. the different scenarios are not very organized. I think the chapters should have been organized a little better instead of several repetitions throughout the chapters.

The Mingling of Souls Audiobook by Matt Chandler

Title: The Mingling of Souls Subtitle: God's Design for Love, Sex, Marriage, and Redemption Author: Matt Chandler Narrator: Jared C. Wilson Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 22 mins Language: English Release date: 01-06-15 Publisher: christianaudio.com Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 718 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: The Song of Solomon offers strikingly candid - and timeless - insights on romance, dating, marriage, and sex. We need it. Because emotions rise and fall with a single glance, touch, kiss, or word. And we are inundated with songs, movies, and advice that contradicts God's design for love and intimacy. Matt Chandler helps navigate these issues for both singles and marrieds by revealing the process Solomon himself followed: Attraction, Courtship, Marriage... even Arguing. The Mingling of Souls will forever change how you view and approach love. Members Reviews: Deeply Challenging and Encouraging As a young man, very much in love with my girlfriend and desiring to adventure with her into marriage and life together, I found this book not only genuinely interesting, but profoundly challenging and encouraging as well! Whether male or female, single, dating or married, if your heart longs for love and romance and companionship that grows and deepens, please, please read/listen to this book. It deals with wonderfully weighty topics with considerable joy and grace. My heart is richer and more awake to, and hungry for, the heart of God for the love relationship. You will not be disappointed. Wonderful book! This book is a great read for anyone who is single, considering marriage, engaged, married for a month, or married for 50 years. Chandler does a great job of breaking down the scriptures and plainly staying how it applies to modern day. I will definitely recommend this to others!!! Young Pastor in New Relationship As a young pastor (25 years old) in a new relationship, I have felt so encouraged by this book! The way Chandler and Wilson walk us through Song of Solomon was practical yet poetic. And of course... The description of ahavah love just sent me in to tears. I am so thankful for God's ahavah love for us and I hope to grow in to that love with my girlfriend one day. Absolutely Wonderful! This was a phenomenal read and I'd recommend it to anyone! I am newly single and it ministered to the hurt of a failed engagement. It lovingly showed me my wrongs and though we are both believers it helped reveal how we may have navigated incorrectly. This is a perfect example of how God created marriage to be! Kudos!!! Loved it!!! What a wonderful explanation of what God intends for marriage along with clear presentations of how and why we struggle in our unique brokenness!! Honest and thoughtful!!

The Seven Storey Mountain Audiobook by Thomas Merton

Title: The Seven Storey Mountain Author: Thomas Merton Narrator: Sidney Lanier Format: Abridged Length: 2 hrs and 33 mins Language: English Release date: 05-01-12 Publisher: Phoenix Books Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 492 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: The Seven Storey Mountain is the extraordinary spiritual testament of Thomas Merton (1915-1968), a man who experienced life to its fullest in the world before entering a Trappist monastery. By the end of his life, he had become one of the 20th century's best-known and beloved Christian voices. This autobiography deals...not with what happens to a man, but what happens inside his soul. Members Reviews: Missing paragraphs I like the story but it skips over a lot of paragraphs and I really hate that. Get this updated. Woefully incomplete audio version of a great work Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? Unless you want only the cliff notes of Merton's story and development of his ideas, this audio version is a waste of your time. I have the book (have not read it) and hoped this would cover it, but it doesn't. Feel cheated. Abridged obviously suggests that some portions are omitted, but it feels like more than 50% of the book is omitted although I have not done a detailed assessment to say the omission is closer to 25 or 75%, but a quick at the final chapters suggests its at least 50%. Engaging There are some passages in this book that took my breath away. I listened several times to the very compelling story of Thomas Merton's life and faith journey. I know I will listen again. Good but the reading not so Overall a good story but the reading kept putting me to sleep. Also the audio quality had some kind of hissing in the back ground. I would read this rather than listen to it. Letter to Audible There is a wonderful recorded version in full by the late and great Wolfram Kandinsky. It was rented on cassette by Books On Tape. Can't Audible make that available to us?

I enjoy reading and highlighting important things in the paper copy, but I so enjoyed listening to this in the car. What does Priscilla Shirer bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Since she is the author, she brings emphasis and enthusiasm where it is most important in the book. Very well done!! Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

The Noticer Audiobook by Andy Andrews

Title: The Noticer Subtitle: Sometimes, All a Person Needs is a Little Perspective. Author: Andy Andrews Narrator: Andy Andrews Format: Abridged Length: 4 hrs and 9 mins Language: English Release date: 04-01-09 Publisher: Thomas Nelson Publishers Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 1141 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Like The Traveler's Gift, The Noticer is a unique narrative is a blend of fiction, allegory, and inspiration. Gifted storyteller Andy Andrews helps us see how becoming a "noticer" just might change a person's life forever. Members Reviews: Unfortunately Average I had high hopes for this book based on the reviews of others. Ultimately, however, I found the book average at best. It did offer some insightful points of view, but they were too few and far between. Sometimes a writing style can be seemingly simplistic, and yet offer real elegance. Yet here simplistic style came across as amateurish. As for narration, the reader too frequently lost track of his characters' voices, leaving the reader confused as to which character was speaking. One of the main characters was Jones, an old man. His voice was particularly grating, as it came across as a caricature of a feeble, elderly man. In summary, it's not a terrible book, but neither is it particularly rewarding or insightful. Three stars. The Noticer Educational, thoughtful and entertaining as only Andy can write and tell it. With personal reflections of his own story this book is another home run. Captivating and a Great Reminder I truly enjoyed this book. The author did an outstanding job with the character voices and it really drew you into the story. Once I started to listen I did not want to stop. The story line is such a great reminder of what life is about and how we need to remember to look at things. You know a book is good when you miss the characters and are sadden that the book is over. This book was awesome... A great read! If you could sum up The Noticer in three words, what would they be? very enlightning What was one of the most memorable moments of The Noticer? towards the end when Jones took him to meet the boy that was now living under the bridge in the same hole as he did so many years ago! Which scene was your favorite? The married couple that were going through a divorce and how he gave them perspective and explained to them how they each still loved each other but they showed love in a different way than what they needed... Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes, Good message, nice story This isn't my favorite Andy Andrews book and it doesn't hold a candle to The Travelers Gift but it was well put together with a good message. Andrews always does a great job mixing his message in with a well put together story but I honestly think his real life story about Jones and what it did for him would have been better than this book. The Noticer is worth listening to but if you can only read one Andy Andrews book do yourself a favor and pick up The Travelers Gift. In my opinion that is one of the best books ever written.

What We Talk About When We Talk About God Audiobook by Rob Bell

Title: What We Talk About When We Talk About God Author: Rob Bell Narrator: Rob Bell Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 25 mins Language: English Release date: 03-12-13 Publisher: HarperAudio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 430 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: "I've written this book because there's a growing sense that when it comes to God, we're at the end of one era and the start of another, an entire mode of understanding and talking about God is dying as something new is being birthed." - from What We Talk About When We Talk About God How God is described today strikes many as mean, primitive, backwards, illogical, tribal, and at odds with the frontiers of science. At the same time, many intuitively feel a sense of reverence and awe in the world. Can we find a new way to talk about God? Pastor and New York Times best-selling author Rob Bell shows how traditional ideas have grown stale and dysfunctional and reveals a new path for how to return vitality and vibrancy to how we understand God. Bell reveals how we got stuck, why culture resists certain ways of talking about God, and how we can reconnect with the God who is with us, for us, and ahead of us, pulling us forward into a better future - and ready to help us live life to the fullest. Members Reviews: God is leading us ahead What made the experience of listening to What We Talk About When We Talk About God the most enjoyable? Rob's style is very conversational. I feel he is sitting right there next to me explaining all this to me, personally. He doesn't speak down to me, but he does talk about some very complex things in a way that I get it. What did you like best about this story? I love how filled with hope his message is. How he explains that God is bigger than anything we imagined. He focuses on what is essential, but doesn't shy away from the things that have been obstacles. Rob talks from his heart, but it is filled with knowledge and reason, too. What he says really makes sense. I get it. I understand it. What about Rob Bells performance did you like? His conversational style. Understandable. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes, and I almost made it. Any additional comments? This is a book for everyone that is willing to be open to the possibility that God really is bigger, more loving, more forgiving than any of us every imagined. A profound Story teller moving. captivating. thank you Rob Bell, for enchanting us with beautiful and clear narratives on what exactly we are talking about, when we talk about God Rob Bell does it again refreshing and informative. an outstanding leap for God and tying it to science and modern day. An elaborate and well thought description of many things that are tough to describe I recommend this book for the searchers out there, the ones who sincerely want to grasp at the many things we want to tag words to but don't know how - Rob does. The fact that he narrates all of his audiobooks should hint at how much everyone who reads his books matters, and how much thought and care he puts into each one - this one is no different. In "What We Talk About When We Talk About God," Rob carefully and thoroughly approaches the glue of the universe and how science and God not only are not diametrically opposed, but form a beautiful cohesive and inspiring relationship, a merger between curiosity, the infinite, and the challenging. Rob's book will leave you thinking about things more; and hopefully having a little bit more understanding about the fabric that makes up the universe and why it matters in the first place.

Strangers in a Strange Land Audiobook by Charles J. Chaput

Title: Strangers in a Strange Land Subtitle: Living the Catholic Faith in a Post-Christian World Author: Charles J. Chaput Narrator: Jonathan Davis Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 17 mins Language: English Release date: 06-14-17 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 103 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: From Charles J. Chaput, author of Living the Catholic Faith and Render unto Caesar, comes Strangers in a Strange Land, a fresh, urgent, and ultimately hopeful treatise on the state of Catholicism and Christianity in the United States. America today is different in kind, not just in degree, from the past. And this new reality is unlikely to be reversed. The reasons include, but aren't limited to, economic changes that widen the gulf between rich and poor, problems in the content and execution of the education system, the decline of traditional religious belief among young people, the shift from organized religion among adults to unbelief or individualized spiritualities, changes in legal theory and erosion in respect for civil and natural law, significant demographic shifts, profound new patterns in sexual behavior and identity, the growth of federal power and its disregard for religious rights, the growing isolation and elitism of the leadership classes, and the decline of a sustaining sense of family and community. Members Reviews: A Must Read Archbishop Chaput has offered a very important contribution to the conversation on the cultural crisis of our time. In particular, the chapter on Hope may be one of the most profound reflections ever written on the topic. Strangers in a Strange Land is published at about the same time as Rod Dreher's The Benedict Option and Anthony Esolen's Out of the Ashes. Chaput's offering is different from but complements these two books, and together they each remind us of the most important things, things lost and things worth recovering, in a post-Christian world. Brilliant and spiritually edifying Archbishop Chaput has a wonderful gift for analyzing and summarizing the crisis of faith in our culture and world today. But what's more is that he offers the reader practical and intelligent advice on how we can respond effectively to that crisis, careful to avoid the opposing pitfalls of cultural syncretism and culture escapism. Compelling and challenging So richly written I've decided to actually order the book. These are important words for Christians to ponder today who see the culture and the world crumbling under the weight of moral relativism. He reminds us of a long heritage of struggle and witness... And that in Christ we can do what is needed. After all, this is the time in history that we have been given. Thank you Archbishop for your words to strengthen us for our work. Saint Michael, the Archangel, defend us in battle... Hope in the goodness of man is alive and ... ...sustained by the love of God shared by people with each other unselfishly, acknowledging the truths of God in our lives and world. Great, necessary book! I really appreciated this book. The audio version was helpful since the author's style is conversational, it was an easy listen. Would like to read more from Charles Chaput.

Humility, Updated Edition Audiobook by Andrew Murray

Title: Humility, Updated Edition Subtitle: The Beauty of Holiness Author: Andrew Murray Narrator: Robert Grothe Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 11 mins Language: English Release date: 04-07-17 Publisher: Aneko Press Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 38 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Is humility a Christlike attribute that should be pursued? And even if it should be, can genuine humility actually be attained? Often so practical in application that it is overlooked, the answer is found by studying the life and words of Christ (whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your slave). This little book is a loud call to all committed Christians to prove that meekness and lowliness of heart is the evidence by which those who follow the meek and lowly Lamb of God are to be known. Never mind that your initial efforts will be misunderstood, taken advantage of, or even resisted. Instead, learn from the One who came not to be ministered unto, but to serve. For a Christian to be alive, for the life of Christ to reign in and through us, we must be empty of ourselves, exchanging our life for his life, our pride for true, Christlike humility. Members Reviews: Most Important Book I've Listened to. Speaks right to the heart of the simplicity of how to receive the power of God's life changing grace: Humility. "Pride must die in you, or nothing of heaven may live in you." Andrew Murray For as water flows to and fills first the lowest place, so is the way of God's grace to the humble. Poor reader this is an amazing book I can't believe it was so poorly read for someone to consume its truth. I hope producers in the future raised the bar of quality not spirit milk, but spiritual steak! It takes a while to pull my attention into this older writing, but it is absolutely beautiful in the way it describes humility! Humility The Beauty of Holiness. It is a great book on a subject that has been ignored or neglected for too long.

Title: Soul Keeping Subtitle: Caring for the Most Important Part of You Author: John Ortberg Narrator: Tommy Cresswell Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 8 mins Language: English Release date: 04-22-14 Publisher: Zondervan Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 433 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: When is the last time you thought about the state of your soul? The health of your soul isn't just a matter of saved or unsaved. It's the hinge on which the rest of your life hangs. It's the difference between deep, satisfied spirituality and a restless, dispassionate faith. In an age of materialism and consumerism that tries to buy its way to happiness, many souls are starved and unhealthy, unsatisfied by false promises of status and wealth. We've neglected this eternal part of ourselves, focusing instead on the temporal concerns of the world - and not without consequence. Best-selling author John Ortberg presents another classic that will help you discover your soul - the most important connection to God there is - and find your way out of the spiritual shallow-lands to true divine depth. With characteristic insight and an accessible story-filled approach, Ortberg brings practicality and relevance to one of Christianity's most mysterious and neglected topics. Members Reviews: Dallas Willard for Dummies I have read several of Dallas Willard's books. Some of them with friends who were equally intent on gleaning just some of the rich insights they presented. And we did, however always with some frustration and disappointment because we knew there was more. John Ortberg has given people like meand I know there are morea gift. His account of his personal pilgrimage with Dallas as his mentor has afforded me a better understanding of some of the concepts I longed to understand from some of Dallas' writings. Thank you, John. I mean no disrespect for the headline of this review...only gratitude. Marty Villa Good Book - poor narrator What did you like best about Soul Keeping? What did you like least? Great Ideas - much of which are a summary of Dallas Willard's thoughts on Spiritual Formation. Ortberg is funny and has a great voice - it's too bad he did not narrate this audio book.

This book not only delves into why but touches on how. An excellent read and read with excellence. Highly recommended. Starts slow, ends well I felt like the beginning took a long time establishing "what is the soul," but maybe that was helpful for some. Last half was excellent and inspiring. Good for Dallas Willard fans Ortberg remembers his friendship with the late author, philosopher, and Christian apologist, and his (Ortberg's) own spiritual development over the course of more than 20 years. He discusses the need of the soul for rest. He is reassuring, even on the subject of the "dark night of the soul." The text is not very demanding (you might want to investigate St.

Title: Moving Mountains Subtitle: Praying with Passion, Confidence, and Authority Author: John Eldredge Narrator: John Eldredge Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 9 mins Language: English Release date: 02-16-16 Publisher: Thomas Nelson Publishers Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 387 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: New York Times best-selling author of Wild at Heart John Eldredge offers readers a step-by-step guide to effective Christian prayer. How would it feel to enter into prayer with confidence and assurance - certain that God heard you and that your prayers would make a difference? It would likely feel amazing and unfamiliar. That's because often our prayers seem to be met with silence or don't appear to change anything. Either response can lead to disappointment or even despair in the face of our ongoing battles and unmet longings - especially when we don't know if we're doing something wrong or if some prayers just don't work. New York Times best-selling author John Eldredge confronts these issues directly in Moving Mountains by offering a hopeful approach to prayer that is effective, relational, and rarely experienced by most Christians. In a world filled with danger, adventure, and wonder, we have at our disposal prayers that can transform the events and issues that matter most to us and to God. Moving Mountains shows you how to experience the power of daily prayer, learn the major types of prayers - including those of intervention, consecration, warfare, and healing - and to discover the intimacy of the cry of the heart prayer, listening prayer, and praying Scripture. Things can be different, and you personally have a role to play with God in bringing about that change through prayer. It may sound too good to be true, but this is your invitation to engage in the kind of prayers that can move God's heart as well as the mountains before you. Moving Mountains is also available in Spanish, Mueve montañas. To dive deeper into the Moving Mountains message, the Moving Mountains study guide and video study are available now. Members Reviews: Wow! By far his best book yet on the life of being a Christian and maturing in Christ. Looking for more and a better understanding in your walk with Jesus? Then this is a must read. As always John captures the readers heart and reveals the wonderfully good heart of God in a profound and beatiful way. Highly recommended. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. After his first book on prayer, Walking with God, I was hooked with John's way of writing, his storytelling, and his passion for Christ. Moving Mountains picks up where the other book left off and takes you to a new place. Enjoy and get closer to God! a miracle I found right when I needed it most listened through it twice so far. going to go back for round 3 soon. it's amazing when you accidently find what you needed right when you needed it most. OMGosh, live this Totally freeing. clarity is not breakthrough. breakthrough cones with action. make this your guide book and take massive action. Outstanding!! Like all of John's books, this one is deep, refreshing, challenging, & thought provoking. John's own reading is as inspiring as his conferences.

You've seen them - everything they own crammed into their luggage. Staggering through terminals and hotel lobbies with overstuffed suitcases, trunks, duffels, and backpacks. Backs ache. Feet burn. Eyelids droop. We've all seen people like that. At times we are people like that - if not with our physical luggage then at least with our spiritual load. We all lug loads we were never intended to carry. Fear. Worry. Discontent. No wonder we get so weary. We're worn out from carrying that excess baggage. Wouldn't it be nice to lose some of those bags? That's the invitation of Max Lucado. With the Twenty-Third Psalm as our guide, let's release some of the burdens we were never intended to bear. Using these verses as a guide, Max Lucado walks us through a helpful inventory of our burdens. May God use this psalm to remind you to release the burdens you were never meant to bear. Members Reviews: Excellent thoughts on Psalm 23! I had forgotten how much I enjoyed Max Lucado years ago and now with audio books I am delving back into his works and getting caught up. He has a way of giving understandable examples from life to explain some of the deeper truths in scripture. I plan to try to get my wife and son to read this book now too. Nobody says the truth like Max Lucado What made the experience of listening to Traveling Light the most enjoyable? The content, the narrator, and the gentle quiet manner. What does Ben Holland bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? He reads in a way I wouldn't have interpreted A new understanding of Psalm 23 . I used to have a feeling that Psalm 23 was something you only heard at funerals, that the passages had to do with death . But I learned through this book about how much it has to do with life . Max Lucado lead me through various emotions on the way to the conclusion . I have an entirely different viewpoint of this psalm now , as it now leads to hope and joy, with the discarding of the baggage of this world . extremely encouraging and inspirational First of all, the narrator was excellent at reading the story. The narrator kept you on edge, always wanting more and because of the books encouraging and inspirational tone and message... I found a thrill and yarning to really look back at myself and see all the baggage that I carried and still carry. I examined my issues and saw new ways that God is working in my life. And one of my favorite parts of this book... (was close to the end) when the author wrote as you prepare to leave this world, due to sickness etc. The angels grow excited preparing you place in heaven and say "There's another one coming home". Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful read and example of: Faith, Encouragement and Hope, written and read with a whole lot of LOVE! Enjoyed the book I enjoyed the wisdom teaching and humor. This was my first Max Lucado book and I learned new things in an insightful way.

Tactics Audiobook by Gregory Koukl

Title: Tactics Subtitle: A Game Plan for Discussing Your Christian Convictions Author: Gregory Koukl Narrator: Tom Parks Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 4 mins Language: English Release date: 01-27-12 Publisher: Zondervan Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 595 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: In a world increasingly indifferent to Christian truth, followers of Christ need to be equipped to communicate with those who do not speak their language or accept their source of authority. Gregory Koukl demonstrates how to get in the drivers seat, keeping any conversation moving with thoughtful, artful diplomacy. Youll learn how to maneuver comfortably and graciously through the minefields, stop challengers in their tracks, turn the tables andmost importantlyget people thinking about Jesus. Soon, your conversations will look more like diplomacy than D-Day. Tactics provides the game plan for communicating the compelling truth about Christianity with confidence and grace. Members Reviews: Wonderful! If you could sum up Tactics in three words, what would they be? Wise, God focused Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? The Colombo Any additional comments? Absolutely incredible. I'm a blue collar surrounded by unbelievers and i constantly get attacked by questions. This book gives tips and ways to break down what people try to "school me" with, and even better, it's focused on a Christian way, by not ending the conversation with the person offended. I want to spread the good news, this has helped so much :) Christian Convictions Shouldn't be Christless Overall, I enjoyed this book and find that it will be helpful to many seasoned and unseasoned apologists alike. I really enjoyed the books emphasis on remaining calm while discussing Christian convictions, and asking questions. The Colombo tactic is perhaps the best part of the book. Act like Colombo. That means to ask a lot of stupid questions and let your opponent do the work. In the course of discussing various conversational tactics, Gregory Koukl takes on many common attacks against the Christian faith and exposes their weakness. Some of these vignettes are truly superb. I also like the encouragement he gives throughout the book. Just getting up to bat is enough in itself. Dont beat yourself up if you think you failed. There truly is a lot in here that is worth chewing on. The book is about discussing Christian convictions, not the Christian faith. That is perhaps my greatest problem with the book. When taking Christian apologetics in undergrad, my mentor, Dr. Rod Rosenbladt, use to drum into us that You can discuss creation vs. evolution with a damned evolutionist for six years, and when you are done and have convinced him of creation, all you have done is taken a damned evolutionist and made him into a damned creationist. His point was that you still had not gotten to the topic of Christ and the cross, the gospel of salvation. He suggested that if you didnt start there, you certainly wanted to get the conversation there as fast as possible. So at the beginning of the book, I found it a bit frustrating that Gregory goes out of his way to say that it doesnt always have to be about that. Though later in the book he does speak about the importance of it. It seems to me, that Christian convictions are convictions that flow from our Christian faith, that is, our faith in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ for the salvation of man. If we have a conviction that doesnt stem from this central event in the Christian faith, we might ask ourselves if it is Christian.

Title: Visioneering Subtitle: God's Blueprint for Developing and Maintaining Vision Author: Andy Stanley Narrator: Lloyd James Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 20 mins Language: English Release date: 06-28-13 Publisher: christianaudio.com Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 350 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Lift Your Vision High Vision is a preferred future. A destination. Vision always stands in contrast to the world as it is. Visioneering, according to bestselling author Andy Stanley, is "a clear mental picture of what could be, fueled by the conviction that it should be." With warm, down-to-earth practicality, Andy Stanley explores the ordinary life of Nehemiah and his God-given vision for accomplishing the extraordinary. He shows how the life of this great ancient visionary, determined to rebuild the ruined walls of Jerusalem, reveals principles that can prepare us to find and follow Gods multifaceted vision for our own lives. In the best-selling Visioneering, Stanley builds a compelling case for the necessity of a clear, God-ordained vision for each of the roles of your life. Whether youre a parent with a vision for your children or a CEO pursuing a corporate vision, Visioneering is the perfect tool to help you develop and maintain Gods unique purpose for your life. Andy Stanley, the pastor of more than 15,000, knows a lot of people, and is well aware of the overwhelming and mutual desire nearly every Christian holds to find and fulfill Gods purpose for their lives. This book was written to stir these hearts and move people forward by providing tangible steps to getting from Point A to Point B. "As Christians," states Stanley, "we do not have a right to take our talents, abilities, experiences, opportunities, and education and run off in any direction we please." This book was written to provide a specific plan for going in the right direction. It truly is "Gods blueprint for developing and maintaining personal vision." Members Reviews: Stunningly good Andy Stanley does an amazing job relating these concepts. Solid Biblical foundations. Not sure how you could apply it when not fully surrendered to Christ. It is a book for Christian or those at least open to believe that their vision is bigger than them or the outcome they intend. The reader is fine but having heard Andy Stanley speak it is easy to wish he had done the book himself. The book is dense and I found myself on audio realizing that it would be worth "reading" again slowly and taking copious notes. The other piece that cannot be overlooked is that the author has immense credibility in walking out God given visions. The book is not new and many years later he is still walking out God sized visions...visions surrendered to God Great book! I loved this book. It was challenging and encouraging. It makes you think. If you feel the Lord is moving in your life in a new way and you don't quit understand what it is that He's doing then read this book. A must read for anyone looking for their purpose. When I purchased this book I was afraid of reading about another technical how to book; however I've found it to be a very practical book about finding and maintaining purpose in life. To me, this is an E rated book. This book is so encouraging I really enjoyed this book and am certain I will re-read it often. I found many quotable portions and several encouraging thoughts and ideas.

Members Reviews: Solid gold! This book will become one of my life's go-tos. The chapters on the Holy Spirit, prayer, and the constant call to lay down pride and take up servanthood is like water in the desert. God has richly blessed this work :) One of the best I have heard It is easy to see why this book has sold over 800,000 copies. I will be coming back and reviewing it frequently. Must read book for spiritual leaders This is an incredible book with more Godly principles than any other leadership book I've read J. Oswald Sanders lived a LONG time ago... But it's still relevant Spiritual Leadership by J. Oswald Sanders - Overall, it's not an "easy" listen. It was "updated" about 30 years ago, so it's work to stay engaged. Once you're past that, the content is solid - and the principles that Sanders presents are still relevant in the context of ministers and missionaries. Many of the points are helpful for a layman like me, leading in a corporate environment. Glad I listened - not sure if there's anyone that I would recommend this. practical and applicable, full of Biblical example helpful examples from a Biblical perspective and contrast from what other schools of thought have lead to within the church. a must read

In The Case for Faith, winner of the Gold Medallion Book Award, eight major topics are addressed including doubt, the problem of pain, and the existence of evil. Critic Reviews: "Strobel's appraoch is hard-hitting, clear, and persuasive." "Despite the rather heavy matters discussed, this book is easy to read. The analogies and anecdotes are very helpful in explaining a deep subject on an understandable level." "...the book incorporates Strobel's journalistic skills to tackle several of the most persistent objections to belief in Christ.... The Case for Faith is for readers who may be attracted to Jesus, but still have formidable intellectual barriers with emotional undertow inhibiting them from fully committing their lives to Christ....As one who was a spiritual skeptic for many years, Strobel relates well to those who object to the faith on emotional and intellectual grounds...." "When Strobel interviews his subjects, he approaches the questions just as a non-believer would, and he's not afraid to press until he gets a satisfactory answer.... The Case for Faith will provide the tools you need to remove...obstacles from a non-believers path to faith in Christ." Members Reviews: The best of Lee Strobel I downloaded several of Less Strobel's books and all are good, but this is by far the best! He really tackles the toughest questions facing a Christian (or skeptic or unbeliever) and digs up some very good answers. If you only read one of Lee Strobel's books, this is the one I recommend! Great Information on Christianity's Hard Questions This book was great information for both new and long time Christians. Apologetic s is new to me; a long time Christian and I found this book gave some good answers to the hard questions we of the Christian faith have been ask. I think most of us leaned on the fact that we are don't have to have all the answers and we do take things on faith and only God knows. Lee's interview method help to make it understandable and introduced you to many new people in this field for future reading. Life is short, it is nice to know what's next! All around, excellent I first read this book about 10 years ago, and found this round listening to it even more inspiring. The narrator is tremendous and really pulls you into the book as the conversation it's meant to be. The content is laid out in a very logical, progressive way, and as your mind forms questions as you are listening, they are covered soon afterward. I would highly recommend this to anyone. I think you'll get a completely different experience depending on where you are in life and with your own spiritual journey, just as I have. I went back to this book to see how it covered evolution.

Members Reviews: Audible version is missing the last two chapters of the book! Audible version is missing the last two chapters of the book! The last available chapter in audio format is "Dreaming with God". Awesome! Any additional comments? I purchased the printed version of this book approximately 7 years ago, and just recently bought this audio version so that I can listen to it as I go about my daily tasks. When I purchased it in 2009, I bought it because the title intrigued me. I had never heard of Bill Johnson. (I have since listened to many of his messages and subscribed to IBethelTV). I had just left a church that we attended as a family for 25 years. Everything had become stale and I felt that we were just "going through the motions". The sermons had become repetitive to me, and I was hungry for more of God. This book was the spark that moved me forward! I highly recommend any books, tapes, etc. from Bill and his staff. I took off one star in my review because the audio version eliminates the last chapter of the book. However, this should not deter you from purchasing this audio version. I predict that you will be blessed! Good book The book is very good but I wonder why some chapters are missing at the end. Very Refreshing What made the experience of listening to The Supernatural Power of a Transformed Mind, Expanded Edition: Access to a Life of Miracles the most enjoyable? The narrator and all of the subjects in the book by the author. What did you like best about this story? The way the author was able to grab my attention and feed my spirit. It made me desire more and helped me on how to get more in the Kingdom. Which character as performed by Tim Lundeen was your favorite? I liked his whole narration. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes but I couldn't. I wanted to take it slow to get it all in. Any additional comments? This book brings conviction and also brings a check to those in ministry and reminds us of how we are truly to be functioning in the supernatural. It makes you want to go back on your face and cry out to God and ask for forgiveness for not representing His Kingdom to the fullness. It also motivates others to be involved in the Kingdom now A revolutionary insight! A must read! This book will change your life! If you want change from your circumstance, if you are looking for answers, if you are hungry for breakthrough! you need to read this book. You will not be the same person. This book is revolutionary.

The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything shows us how this is possible, with user-friendly examples, humorous stories and anecdotes from the heroic and inspiring lives of Jesuit saints and average priests and brothers, as well as examples from Martin's twenty years as a Jesuit. The traditional wisdom that Jesuits use to help other people in their daily lives is easily applied, but not often explained well to the general public. The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything translates these insights of St. Ignatius for a modern audience and reveals how we can find God - and how God can find us - in the real world of work, love, suffering, decisions, prayer, and friendship. Members Reviews: Changed My Life What did you love best about The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything? I bought this book in the Laguardia Airport book store. It resonated with me on my spiritual life, how to pray and my relationship with God. I am not Catholic so I was not prepared for the practical Christian spirituality that James Martin conveys in this book. I was headed in the wrong direction, away from God and this book literally turned me around. I am in a much better place and on a better path because of the impact this book had on my life. I bought the audio book to re-listen to it for more insights I may have missed on the 1st reading. The title of the book is absolutely true. My Favorite Book by My Favorite Author Would you listen to The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything again? Why? Absolutely. It is so centering to hear Fr. Jim read this wonderful book. I use it before sleep, in the car, while working on other projects. It helps me practice Ignatian Spirituality daily. What did you like best about this story? Every section is helpful in it's own way, but what I find myself returning to again and again, are the sections on poverty, chastity and obedience. That doesn't sound glamorous on the surface, but revisiting these values in a new form is so liberating. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Oh, yes.... but you can't. It must be savored, a little at a time! Any additional comments? This book will change your life! Highly recommended, not a Catholics book only Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? This is not a book for one sitting because it has a lot of point to think about and reflect on. Its better to take it little by little. Any additional comments? In the whole, the book shows you how to watch thing from other point of view, in a way that makes you grow as a person and realize what is really important in life. The points are very simple and well founded, but sometimes not that easy to follow. It is very remarcable how J.

Title: Love Lives Here Subtitle: Finding What You Need in a World Telling You What You Want Author: Bob Goff - foreword, Maria Goff Narrator: Maria Goff Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 21 mins Language: English Release date: 03-07-17 Publisher: christianaudio.com Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 223 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: This is a book about discovering what we really need. There are a lot of second-best options, but we weren't made to live a second-best life. Finding what we actually need is different than what we are often offered. There are many books full of opinions, steps and programs. This isn't one of them. This is about craving the things that matter. Things that don't just work, but last. In a life that may seem to be all fun and games with an endless supply of balloons, author Maria Goff shows how this life is also lived with intentionality, passionate purpose, and a little planning - all of which make a life rich in legacy. But she had to figure out the help she needed first in order to live the beautiful life God wanted for her and wants for us. Love Lives Here is a collection of stories that include the ways Maria and her husband, Bob, navigated family their way, without clear instructions or a road map. It's about what they learned to make their lives meaningful and whimsical and how they created a space for their family to grow together while they reached outward. Members Reviews: What a joy to finally meet "Sweet Maria"! This is a work about true transparency and following God,not the world.I LOVED it! Our family read LOVE DOES by Bob Goff and I have seen Bob at speaking engagements. After learning quite a good deal about "Sweet Maria", it was wonderful to hear her tell God's story of their lives in her words. I admire and respect the Goff family and pray for them often. Brave and beautiful testimony I decided to listen to this book shortly after I listened to the book Love Does by Bob Goff. I loved hearing from what I knew must be the beautiful and special woman who has been married to Bob for all of these years. This book does not disappoint. I so enjoyed hearing some of the same stories from Sweet Maria's perspective. The artful incorporation of stories from throughout her life provide a brave and heartfelt testimony of the power of love, and how to use love to overcome life's inevitable challenges and difficulties. I felt like I could really connect and relate to the story teller on multiple levels and that she was speaking life and truth into some of the challenges I am currently facing. It was so inspirational. I am forever grateful that this book was written and narrated by the author. I will be recommending it to my friends and many of the friends I have yet to meet. love the Goffs! I only know Bob and Maria through their books but already love them. They encourage me to love more and to live more. Loved this I loved Maria's honesty and her willingness to invite us into her life, with all its joy and vulnerability. As a young mom, she touched on all the things I want to provide for my children as they grow. Thank you. Great book! I loved this book! Maria Goff is down to earth & someone I can identify with! I always love when the author reads their own work - It feels & sounds more personal. I would highly recommend this book!

Members Reviews: Good Content Is there anything you would change about this book? Having heard Andy Stanley speak it is a little awkward listening to Tom Parks. Would you be willing to try another book from Andy Stanley? Why or why not? Yes, Andy Stanley is a good writer. How could the performance have been better? Have Andy Stanley read the book. Pastoring a church is a lot of work Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes. There are many things about pastoring that are not taught in a seminary. This audiobook illuminates some of those things. Eye-Opening What did you like best about this story? I liked hearing how Stanley arrived at God's will for his life, how he related how he, his wife, and his church went through to arrive at a place that is bringing glory to God and leading many people into a growing relationship with Jesus. What three words best describe Tom Parkss voice? Not Andy Stanley Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? I laughed, I cried, I thought deeply. Any additional comments? I wish Andy Stanley had read the book because I kept having to translate his voice into the story. A Must Read For Church Leaders!!! Any additional comments? Andy's insights into church structure are brilliant. While his model of doing church is not for everyone, this process to discovering/deciding the model is for anyone. It's a must read for any church leader. Amazing insight! What did you love best about Deep & Wide? This book would serve as a great resource for any church leader. In general, there are many life lessens to take away from this book. As with most books, there will be parts that may not be applicable to everyone's situation. However, you will not regret the time spent listening. This, like many good books, was compelling to the point that I subsquently bought the print copy so that I could go back and study it in depth! Enjoy.

Title: Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life Author: Donald Whitney Narrator: Grover Gardner Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 4 mins Language: English Release date: 01-16-09 Publisher: christianaudio.com Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 167 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: If you'd like to embark on a lifelong quest for godliness, Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life will help you on your way. Based on the rich heritage left us by the early church fathers, the Puritan writers, and Jesus Christ Himself, this book takes you through a carefully selected array of disciplines including Scripture reading, prayer, worship, Scripture meditation, evangelism, serving, stewardship, Scripture application, fasting, silence and solitude, journaling, and learning. ©1991 Donald Whitney; (P)2008 christianaudio.com Members Reviews: Buy it now. This is one of the best books I have ever read on HOW to live the Christian life. The subjects covered include prayer, Bible reading, scripture memory, fasting, service, giving, worship, and more. The book gives very practical instruction on the why and how of the disciplines, while keeping the focus on growing in Christ. Time to Update I'd like to hear the updated edition with a younger narrator. I had to read this book for a class. First, the updated edition is quite a bit better as technology and information have changed in the last 20 years. Also Whitney's style is incredibly formal, but the updated edition is slightly less so. Toward the end of my semester though, it became apparent I needed a way to get through this book faster than I was. So I got the audiobook for the old version and listened to the last three hours. The narrator is okay. His pronunciation of "Kenya" is incredibly annoying. And his voice in general is not that pleasant. But overall, it's a good book. It's message is also good, but definitely overwhelming by the end of it. He acknowledges this in his final chapter. It doesn't feel possible to incorporate all of these disciplines in my life at present. But I know that I am by nature not a disciplined person. I intend to make some small changes and document my progress. It's an interesting challenge and hopefully, I'll better in a year than I am right now. It was exactly what I needed to hear! Where does Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? It ranks high. What did you like best about this story? It is practical, simple, easy to follow, and very do-able. Have you listened to any of Grover Gardners other performances before? How does this one compare? No. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? No. It requires practice of what is being said. Any additional comments? I recommend it. Every Christian should read this book This book has all the fundamentals of a Christian. I'm currently a theological major at a university and we were assigned this book. Although I've been a Christian for many years I still think this book is great for reminding us of the daily 'disciplines' A Keeper to be read over and over! Whether you are a brand new follower of Christ or I'm a mature believer who wishes to go deeper, Donald Whitney challenges the reader in every spiritual discipline. I loved this book! The vocal performance was done exceptionally well however, I would also like to have heard it read by a more youthful speaker so that it would not appear to be a book just for an older audience. Nevertheless it is still an excellent read!

Title: The Lifegiving Home Subtitle: Creating a Place of Belonging and Becoming Author: Sarah Clarkson, Sally Clarkson Narrator: Donna Postel Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 7 mins Language: English Release date: 06-23-16 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 72 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Does your home sometimes feel like just a place to eat, sleep, and change clothes on the way to the next activity? Do you long for "home" to mean more than a place where you stash your stuff? Wouldn't you love it to become a haven of warmth, rest, and joy...the one place where you and your family can't wait to be? There is good news waiting for you in The Lifegiving Home. Every day of your family's life can be as special and important to you as it already is to God. In this unique book designed to help your family enjoy and celebrate every month of the year together, you'll discover the secrets of a life-giving home from a mother who created one and her daughter who was raised in it: popular authors Sally and Sarah Clarkson. Together, they offer a rich treasure of wise advice, spiritual principles, and practical suggestions. You'll embark on a new path to creating special memories for your children; establishing home-building and God-centered traditions; and cultivating an environment in which your family will flourish. Members Reviews: Not what I expected Any additional comments? I was looking forward to reading this book as it got so many rave reviews. 4 months later & I'm almost finished. It's been a slow process of forcing myself to get through this. The author is so dramatic & descriptive (excessively so) that you loose what point she's trying to make. The narrator of this book made it worse. These two combined just gave off an antagonizing perspective of what ideals we should live up to. I feel this book also doesn't take into consideration everyone different socioeconomic and diverse backgrounds. Pass Love the author, can't stand the narrator. I would literally rather buy the kindle book and make the kindle read it in that robot voice. Very Inspiring! This book makes me want to be such a better wife and mother! I am planning to go back through with the yearly study book! Nothing new This book is full of solid family/home building advice. It gives a look at making hospitality a part of our everyday lives. But it wasn't much I haven't heard before and it is, even admittedly by the authors, repetitive. The beginning chapters were good, but I started skipping chapters in the middle and struggled to finish it. Great reference book for homemaking! The ideas for homemaking are wonderful. I will be using this as a reference book for tradition ideas, recipe ideas, celebration ideas, and inspiration for when I need a kick in the pants for homemaking!

Thank you, Dawna for being obedient to the Holy Spirit by writing this book!!! Answers many questions This book answers many questions about the spiritual realm, how it impacts us, and how to deal with it. Fantastic book on spiritual warfare! This book was amazing! I've listened and read to many similar books but this one tops them all. I can not recommend it enough. Every person on the planet needs this information. Loads of wisdom & experience Dawna clealry has walked a journey in spiritual warfare and I enjoyed learning from her experiences amd stories. She weaves this plus lots of backing scriptures into a very informative book that is wise and gives clear guidelines to use. Definitely worth a read. I would say the physical book would also be worth getting to make notes in as it is a reference book to look back into when needed. Narrator is good but small gripe: didnt like her use of the plural of "Jesus". Good English is not to have a double "s" at the end. (ie Jesus's is incorrect) But then I am a grammar queen. May not.bother anyone else. And not something that wd stop a 5 star review of this book.

Critic Reviews: "Women in an emotionally abusive marriage do not need another book on how to have a good marriage; those books rub salt in raw wounds. No, they desperately need this book so that they can diagnose just how bad their marriage is and then, with Leslies clear expertise, develop a plan that will either begin to turn their marriage around...or give them a wise route of escape." (Dee Brestin, author of Idol Lies and the Friendships of Women) Members Reviews: I wish this book had been written 10 years ago Would you listen to The Emotionally Destructive Marriage again? Why? Yes, to remind myself when I start to feel guilty in the future over something I can no longer control. What did you like best about this story? I was raised in the church and when I married the first time I meant to stay married for life. But after 15 years of being in a ED marriage and realizing my spouse was unwillingly to change because of indifference. I left the marriage and have felt an immense feeling of guilt ever since due to my upbringing. I was unsure of where I could fit in at church, being a divorced woman. This book has helped me to clearly see that God understands how hard I tried to be the fantasy wife for my husband and that he hated seeing me repeatedly abused. He truly loves me more than my broken marriage. Now I understand. Have you listened to any of Leslie Vernicks other performances before? How does this one compare? no Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? Yes, when she stated that God loved marriage but he loves me as a person more. This is something I thought I knew but not until she said it did I truly feel it. The Best This book is my favorite on the subject. I've listened to it several times. It is full of Godly advise to stay well in a disfunctional marriage if you can and also contains Godly advise in how to leave well if you cant. God cares about our safety and sanity. You will not regret your purchase and will refer to it often as a center point for your healing and growth. Thank You Mrs. Vernick, I feel you have saved my life and greatly helped my children . God bless you and yours and all who seek God's intervention . Great Resource! This book offers sound biblical and practical ways to understand and address emotional abuse in marriages. Leslie not only provides the biblical guidelines, she also provides specific and clear action steps. This book gives hope and clarity to those who are in abusive relationships.

Subtitle: Rediscovering His Truth in an Age of Mass-Marketed Spirituality Author: Ravi Zacharias Narrator: Ravi Zacharias Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 3 mins Language: English Release date: 01-25-12 Publisher: Hachette Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 621 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: The author believes that over the past forty years movements like New Age spirituality and society's obsession with human potential have combined like a "perfect storm" to redefine for popular culture what has been for centuries the classic biblical definition of the person, work, and teaching of Jesus Christ. In Why Jesus?, Ravi Zacharias looks at the impact of this "storm" by discussing the 60s-70s "Age of Aquarius," actor Shirley MacLaine's book and TV series Out On a Limb, author James Redfield (The Celestine Prophecy), Rhonda Byrne (The Secret), Dan Brown (The Da Vinci Code), and other books by Eckart Tolle, Wayne Dyer, Deepak Chopra, the Dali Lama, and Marianne Williamson. Special attention will be given to the influence of Oprah Winfrey's media platform in reshaping society by introducing and promoting certain books and authors. Major new age and human potential tenets will be discussed like: the belief that we are all gods and have to discover our divinity; Jesus was only a good teacher; Christianity is but one among many ways to eternal life; reincarnation is real; Jesus was married; truth is relative; there is no sin; and perfection is possible. The truth of and the arguments for the bodily resurrection of Jesus will be presented as the most important argument for the exclusive claims about Jesus and Christianity. Read by the author! Members Reviews: Serious Thinking with Penetrating Cultural Insight What did you love best about Why Jesus?? Ravi is a most serious thinker who brings half century of philosphy trainiing and an eastern world view to the task of critiquing the modern fascination in the West of New Age Spirituality with distinctive Eastern overtones. So how can you save yourself from Shirley MacLaine, sundry Gurus, and false messiahs? Does it matter? Are not all ways the same way to God? Who ever or whatever it is? Any excursion through a moden bookstore will offer the most bizzarre selection in the religious section. You may be lucky to find a Bible, but it is more likely that the shelf will be full of a smorgasborg of spiritual works that are actually all self anthenticating propositions than contradict the books either side. This book gives a historical, cultural, philosophical analysis of the teachings and claims of the new spiritualists and the worldviews paraded on Orphah Winfrey. This work will be hard to beat. What other book might you compare Why Jesus? to and why? Ravi has a series of books analysing other religious worldviews Which scene was your favorite? n/a Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? There are some tender human stories and illustrations Good Material to prepare for secular encounters Excellent material to prepare one for defense of why one believes. Early chapters seemed tedious - usually "Z" is engaging from the first paragraph. However, after pressing through, it is clear why the info is needed because of the error of many of the current movements. Final chapters are great...

My husband and I listened to this together on a road trip and enjoyed interacting with the ideas as they relate to our ministry situation. absolutely amazing thought-provoking book Even though the author and I share disagreements on church polity and how things should be handled, the parallel with Lewis and Clark as a road map into expanding the Christian church deserves careful thought and consideration. Great analogies that applied to the story Tod's experience provides the insight and credibility for this work. His examples provide a path for others to follow. Excellent and informative Lots of information on how to work change in church contexts. It includes a chapter on what to do when there is sabotage to ideas and plans. very solid and thorough book.

Packed with so many revolutionary insights, I had to listen & re-listen to each chapter to even begin comprehending the ground-breaking teachings revealed. It is well worth the effort, but will take more time to incorporate into a full practice. While his use of scripture is impeccable, I do wish he provided specific prayers, steps &/or protocols as modern examples of how to accomplish certain things today. For example, how one specifically establishes authority within the Courts of Heaven for oneself as a layperson as well as for a religious/spritual organization. Identifying the problem and solutions for our dilemma of "unanswered" or delayed prayer resolution is awesome. However, without instructions on how to approach and fulfill these celestial requirements, they remain more inspirational than practical. Please give us the practical, too! Wow... eye opening This reminds you how literal and true the Bible is. It truly opens your eyes to the enemies legal rights and what to do to change our verdict!! Great read!!! You will listen to this book more than once Wow! This was the missing piece I've been looking for. As a Prayer coach this teaching is invaluable. I highly recommend it. I read the book then listened to the audio and will do both again soon! OPENING THE BOOKS OF NATIONS I loved this book.The narrator is very inspiring and believable.

Title: United States Catholic Catechism for Adults Author: United State Conference of Catholic Bishops Narrator: Donald Wuerl Format: Unabridged Length: 19 hrs and 59 mins Language: English Release date: 03-02-10 Publisher: St. Anthony Messenger Press Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 278 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: This unabridged audio version brings to life an exciting combination of the seven basic elements that make up the print version. Musical accents subtly underscore the beginning of each chapter. The meditation and prayer elements, with six different readers, both men and women, including Archbishop Donald Wuerl, bring the text to life. This special presentation would be extremely useful for commuters, those who are visually impaired, or those who prefer to listen rather than read. The lessons, stories, doctrinal summaries, sidebars, and prayers are all presented in self-contained tracks as short as a minute and usually no longer than four or five minutes, which will also prove useful for RCIA groups, study groups, and other gatherings of believers. Members Reviews: Enjoyable and Enlightening Listening! I've never enjoyed catechism, even going back to childhood, but I have found this recording to be easy, enjoyable and enlightening listening. I found the content by the Bishops to be easily accessible, but by no means juvenile - it's definitely adult. I liked the change of voices, the music, and chimes. They helped to remain focused. The references didn't bother me, and I might even go back and look up a few points in the hardcopy Universal Catechism. For me, the stories interspersed throughout the text added meaning and context, and provided examples upon which to reflect, and perhaps try to emulate. I often listen while stuck in traffic, so I feel that I accomplish something while stuck in traffic. Very informative As an RCIA Catholic I found this to be very helpful in clarifying the Catholic traditions and beliefs. United States Catholic Catechism for Adults The content is excellent. The most distracting and annoying aspect of this book are the references. For example there are numerous parenthetical references to other works, bible passages and the like. All of these things are good and proper in the hard copy version, and the reader's eye can easily skip over them. But the narrator reads all of this stuff, and it's very annoying. It would "read" much better without all those references. After 30 years figured I'd go through the Catechis Where does United States Catholic Catechism for Adults rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Excellent! What did you like best about this story? The solid teaching of Christian fundamentals (and a few things that make you go whaaaaaaaa?????) What does Donald Wuerl bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Excellent way to go through a long book! If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be? The secret to victorious Christian living is getting the fundamentals write and for the most part that's the CCC. Any additional comments? Whether you're Catholic or not this book is a prerequisited for victorious Christian living. I've been in various protestant churches over the last 30 years and no two agree on almost anything. Whether you believe in the Primacy of Peter or not it's irresponible as Christian to not read this.

Title: The Normal Christian Life Author: Watchman Nee Narrator: Paul Michael Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 42 mins Language: English Release date: 10-12-09 Publisher: christianaudio.com Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 307 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: This classic work unfolds the path of Christian faith and presents the eternal purpose of God in simple terms. Nee's discussion and writings on the book of Romans is truly challenging. His classic work takes on many difficult subjects and radically challenges current Christian culture. ©2009 Watchman Nee (P)2009 christianaudio.com Members Reviews: Enlightening The truths in this book are so simple, yet so hard to see without being told. It opened my eyes to things I had never before considered and kick myself for not realizing earlier. Nee is generally a hard read/listen. Not because the writing is dull, but, because it is so rich and full. You have to dedicate real time to his books, this one included. I've had to rewind a few times, but it is well worth it. Highly impressed and thankful for this audiobook Every believer should read this book to solidify their standing in Christ. This audiobook is narrated so well and Paul Michael expresses, what I feel was Watchman Nee's intent, extremely well. I have listened to some chapters over ten times now and I am still learning. Tim van Akker, Victoria, BC Solid food for New Believers This is one of the first books I read as a new believer 3 decades ago. I had always wanted to reread it, then I stumbled on it here in audio format. This is one of the few books that I recommend every Christian read. Essentially, its is a discourse on the book of Romans, but is done in a very conversational style. The narrator for this book was well chosen and he is very easy to listen to. He never gets in the way of the text. Highly recommended in book AND audio form. Learned So Much I became interested in this author after hearing Joyce Myer mention him. The book was excellent. I learned so much and listened to the book twice in succession to make sure I had not missed any great teaching. Awesome Where does The Normal Christian Life rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? This book ranks 1st in my audiobooks collection. What did you like best about this story? The material was fresh and inviting. It caused me to think about my normal christian walk. I must say a lot of weight fell off my shoulders after learning about the normal christian life. It transformed my thinking and gave me a new admiration for the christian life. What three words best describe Paul Michaels performance? Tremendous asset to any library. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Didn't mind listening to it all at once. Any additional comments? For any believer who may be struggling with a lack of understanding about the christian life, strongly suggest for a new believer and a seasoned one as well.

The Spiritual Man Audiobook by Watchman Nee

Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/612/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Spiritual Man Author: Watchman Nee Narrator: Josh Miller Format: Unabridged Length: 25 hrs and 39 mins Language: English Release date: 02-11-15 Publisher: Christian Fellowship Publishers Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 106 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: This is a complete presentation on the workings of the human spirit and soul and body. The book aims at delivering people from the tyranny of self-life with its carnality and from the domination of the passions and lusts of the flesh. It attempts to lead them to the full salvation of Christ. It is not to be taken as a manual but as a guide to true spirituality. It is recommended that this three-volume work be listened to quickly once. Then, lay it aside and wait until the Holy Spirit leads one into a certain stage of spiritual life when knowledge and understanding are needed. Turn, then to the special section of the book dealing with that particular experience for enlightenment. Thus, it will be realized that in Thy light, shall we see light (Ps. 36:9). May God use this book to help people in their journeying towards the spiritual. Members Reviews: Spiritual Understanding I have read the hard copy twice and listened to it once. God reveals something new each time. God granted Watchman Nee the ability to understand and explain spiritual life. So far in my life if I could recommend a book besides the Bible it is The Spiritual Man. Great writing, awful reading. I really like Watchman Nee and this is an excellent book. I have little time for reading so I bought the audio version to supplement my kindle version. Unfortunately the reader reads this like it is a stanza, with a strict metrical rhythm. Annoying. I listened to the Normal Christian Life and reader was fantastic. He didn't have that Christian preaching condescension or read with a rhythm. He read like he was telling the story. Josh Miller would do well to note. I will have to make time to read this book from my kindle. A Must Read for Those Seeking to Walk by the Spirit This is one of the most important Christian books every written. It will challenge you. great excellent book, thanks God for this revelation, hope many people come to the lord, we have to keep looking for him Excellent Book!!! Great for any believer seeking to have a greater understanding of the inner man. Watchman Nee is full of grace to the believer and the church at large to endow us with this masterpiece only one led by the Lord could give. The insight he shares is exact and cutting at times. But definitely what the believer needs in this self-absorbed day and age. If you start the book, finish the book. It took me much longer than I expected, but it was very well worth the time spent. I hope that it blesses you likewise!

Audacious Audiobook by Beth Moore

Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/612/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Audacious Author: Beth Moore Narrator: Beth Moore Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 52 mins Language: English Release date: 11-11-15 Publisher: christianaudio.com Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 399 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Thirty years in the making, Audacious is a deep dive into the message that has compelled Beth Moore to serve women around the globe. Glancing over the years of ministry behind her and strengthening her resolve to the call before her, she came to the realization that her vision for women was incomplete. It lacked something they were aching for. Something Jesus was longing for. Beth identifies that missing link by digging through scripture, unearthing life experiences, and spotlighting a turning point with the capacity to infuse any life with holy passion and purpose. What was missing? Well, let's just say it's audacious, and it's for all of us. And it's the path to the life you were born to live. Members Reviews: As good as it gets Beth reads to you the way she speaks, Incredibly joy filled, sharing her Audacious love and leading us to know we too can have it all, the most important love affair with Jesus! She shares from her heart, you'll laugh and cry and laugh some more Read the Book Great Message! Beth Moore is a talented writer and is definitely anointed to share and teach God's word. I gave the performance a 3 because if you are used to hearing her speak or watch her video sessions, listening to her read this book will not be the same. I recommend this book to be read rather than listened to in this audio format. Loved this book! I love the example of Beth Moores life and her genuine excitement about Christ. This was truly inspirational for me. A lift of my spirit and a reminder of The love of Christ for me. Love Beth Moore Thank you Beth, great and inspiring book. We have done a couple studies at my Church and they are always a blessing It was so uplifting! Beth is so genuine and down to earth, you can relate so well! So encouraging, loved it!

Facing Your Giants Audiobook by Max Lucado

Title: Facing Your Giants Subtitle: The God Who Made a Miracle Out of David Stands Ready to Make One Out of You Author: Max Lucado Narrator: Wayne Shepherd Format: Abridged Length: 3 hrs and 16 mins Language: English Release date: 11-01-06 Publisher: Thomas Nelson Publishers Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 306 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: This profound look at the life of the biblical figure David digs deeply into the defeats he suffered, and the victories he won, as he faced the giants in his life. When David focused on God, giants tumbled. But when David focused on giants, he stumbled. Goliaths still roam in our world: Debt. Disaster. Dialysis. Divorce. Deceit. Disease. Depression. These super-sized challenges swagger and strut into our lives, pilfering our sleep, embezzling our peace, and robbing us of our joy. And while these giants try to dominate our lives, we know what to do! We've learned what David learned, and we do what David did. We become God focused. We pick up five stones. We make five decisions. And we take a swing. Members Reviews: Powerful! I thoroughly enjoyed this audio book. The author surprises you with insights about David's story that impact the reader. This book is a faith builder and a solid account of the widely known bible story of David. From his childhood to his death, this book follows David and teaches priceless principles about the refinement process that we all go through. If you are in need of hope, encouragement, and solid bible teaching, this book is a must read. Facing your giants I love this book. It was very helpful and made me feel good about how God feel about me no matter how much i screw up. Not a Fan, But Loved It All The Same Okay, here's a kicker for you. This being my first Max L book, I have to say that his style does not suit me. In fact I started reading the hardback version a sister at church loaned me and had such difficulty enjoying his style of chop-chop comparisons and willy demonstrations that I found reading it a real challenge. So I got the audio book, and I'm glad I did. With the help of the nararator (blessed brother Wayne) I was able to muscle through his odd duck writing and found great treasures and even tears and personal victories within the messages of this generalized story of Davids life, and even grew fond of some of his style before it was all done. In fact I intend to listen to it several times more to catch what was missed in translation the first time around. Will I buy another one of his books? Only in audio, but hey - if it works ... Good insight I liked Max's honesty concerning life's struggles. The book helped me put some things in perspective. It also caused me to want to read the scriptures again concerning David and his life. The book reminded just how much we, in today's world, can relate to the people of the Bible. It helps me know that I am not crazy and that I CAN make it with God's help. Terrific Book Great writer, down to earth and practical. I enjoyed this book and especially loved the CD version as it is helpful to listen to more than once.

Counterfeit Gods Audiobook by Timothy Keller

Title: Counterfeit Gods Subtitle: The Empty Promises of Money, Sex, and Power, and the Only Hope that Matters Author: Timothy Keller Narrator: Tom Parks Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 57 mins Language: English Release date: 10-20-09 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 652 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: The recent economic meltdown has cast a harsh new light on these pursuits. In a matter of months, fortunes, marriages, careers, and a secure retirement have disappeared for millions of people. No wonder so many of us feel lost, alone, disenchanted, and resentful. But the truth is that we made lesser gods of these good things - gods that can't give us what we really need. There is only one God who can wholly satisfy our cravings - and now is the perfect time to meet him again, or for the first time. The Bible tells us that the human heart is an "idol-factory," taking good things and making them into idols that drive us. In Counterfeit Gods, Keller applies his trademark approach to show us how a proper understanding of the Bible reveals the unvarnished truth about societal ideals and our own hearts. This powerful message will cement Keller's reputation as a critical thinker and pastor, and comes at a crucial time - for both the faithful and the skeptical. Members Reviews: Great book! This was the first book I have read by Timothy Keller, and I must say it was excellent. I have previously read and listened to books by C.S. Lewis, Ravi Zacharias, A.W. Tozer, and others and Keller matches both the theological consistency and excellent writing of all of them. He tackles the topic of idols and counterfeit gods very well, and had me taking notes and writing down quotes quite often. It was an enjoyable book to listen to and would listen to it again. Ouch Would you listen to Counterfeit Gods again? Why? Absolutely. Tim Keller touches on so many truths that are so easily overlooked. What other book might you compare Counterfeit Gods to and why? I haven't read any other books on idolatry, but Tim Keller's other writings are equally as good. What about Tom Parkss performance did you like? Easy to listen to Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? When talking about how idols are not 'bad' things, and diving into what exactly idols are. Any additional comments? I wish I could make everyone listen or read to this book!! Exposé of idolatry In spirit of Luke 6:13, no man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other. Easy as it may appear, we oft pretend to serve God... but are we? And if not, what stands between us? This work explores the topic with familiar wit, candor and gentleness of Pastor Keller. An engaging read (or listen) for any current or aspiring Christian. The only caveat is, as mentioned by others, a less-than-ideal narration quality. While certainly acceptable, it sounds less consistent and articulate compared to author's own voice, or that of Simon Vance. That said, I still found the audiobook enjoyable, and may very well re-listen it in the near future. Tim Keller gets to some real truths. Really enjoyed this book. It helps expose things about yourself that you may or may not recognize. Thought provoking and practical This book makes a strong case for idolatry being the sin that is at the root of our problems, and Christ (the real God) as the solution. It was intellectually satisfying, while still demanding personal reflection and a response. It is both convicting and encouraging. Some of the examples of people's idols hit close to home for me. And his teaching gave me new insight into familiar Bible stories.

Orthodoxy Audiobook by G. K. Chesterton

biacuaduc@gmail.com (G. K. Chesterton) — Mon, 21 Mar 2011 19:28:42 GMT

Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/612/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Orthodoxy Author: G. K. Chesterton Narrator: John Lee Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 40 mins Language: English Release date: 03-21-11 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 190 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Written by G. K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy addresses foremost one main problem: How can we contrive to be at once astonished at the world and yet at home in it? Chesterton writes, "I wish to set forth my faith as particularly answering this double spiritual need, the need for that mixture of the familiar and the unfamiliar which Christendom has rightly named romance." Chesterton likens orthodox Christianity to a man who set out in a boat from England and was quite excited to land on an island only to soon discover he had, in fact, landed on England. "I am the man who with the utmost daring discovered what had been discovered before." This is Chesterton's autobiography. It is his story of finding the familiar and unfamiliar in Christianity. It is his hunt for the gorgon or griffin and in the end discovers a rhinoceros and then takes pleasure in the fact that a rhinoceros exists but looks as if it oughtn't. In Orthodoxy, Chesterton argues that people in Western society need a life of "practical romance, the combination of something that is strange with something that is secure. We need so to view the world as to combine an idea of wonder and an idea of welcome." Drawing on such figures as Fra Angelico, George Bernard Shaw, and St. Paul to make his points, Chesterton argues that submission to ecclesiastical authority is the way to achieve a good and balanced life. Critic Reviews: "Whenever I feel my fiath going dry again, I wander to a shelf and pick up a book by G. K. Chesterton." (Philip Yancey) Members Reviews: A True Gem G.K. is undoubtedly an intellectual Titan. New and empty philosophies he squashes like flies. With extreme clarity, he bullies his way into your admiration with his sharp insights. Thoroughly enjoyed it. A masterpiece What did you love best about Orthodoxy? I listen to this book over and over. Perhaps my favorite book of all time. Chesterton is so enjoyable to listen to. I love his style. John Lee does a wonderful job in reading. I feel like I am listening to Chesterton himself. The greatest book I have ever read The Master of Paradox, Chesterton, changed my world with this book. He opened my eyes to something that was always before me. He made me hear what was too loud for me to hear before. Comical, intelligent, and most of all, truthful. Chesterton makes you fall in love with Orthodoxy. GK Chesterton Relevant Brilliance I have read everything I can get my hands on from CS Lewis, but I think that GK Chesterton may be even more influential to me now. The insights in this book is exactly what people need to hear in today's culture. I find his insights brilliant and unique, also the source of much inspiration for those who came after. A must read! Does justice to a classic Chesterton is timeless. The reading by John Lee was excellent in most parts, especially in the final chapters. But he was a bit sing-songy in the first few chapters which I found distracting. Nevertheless, this is well worth the listen.

Preaching Audiobook by Timothy Keller

Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/612/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Preaching Subtitle: Communicating Faith in an Age of Skepticism Author: Timothy Keller Narrator: Sean Pratt Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 11 mins Language: English Release date: 06-09-15 Publisher: Penguin Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 452 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Pastor, preacher, and New York Times best-selling author Timothy Keller's wisdom on communicating the Christian faith from the pulpit as well as from the coffee shop. Most Christians - including pastors - struggle to talk about their faith in a way that applies the power of the Christian Gospel to change people's lives. Timothy Keller is known for his insightful, down-to-earth sermons and talks that help people understand themselves, encounter Jesus, and apply the Bible to their lives. In this accessible guide for pastors and laypeople alike, Keller helps listeners learn to present the Christian message of grace in a more engaging, passionate, and compassionate way. Critic Reviews: "Tim Keller's ministry in New York City is leading a generation of seekers and skeptics toward belief in God. I thank God for him." (Billy Graham) "Unlike most suburban megachurches, much of Redeemer is remarkably traditional. What is not traditional is Dr. Keller's skill in speaking the language of his urbane audience.... Observing Dr. Keller's professorial pose on stage, it is easy to understand his appeal." ( The New York Times) "Fifty years from now, if evangelical Christians are widely known for their love of cities, their commitment to mercy and justice, and their love of their neighbors, Tim Keller will be remembered as a pioneer of the new urban Christians." ( Christianity Today Magazine) Members Reviews: Not just for preachers This is a great resource for teachers, preachers, and anyone who wants to share the Gospel better. Pastor Keller does an excellent job in reminding us to not only live in Christ and share that truth but also he reveals how Christ is evident in all of scripture. I ended up downloading the Kindle version so that I could highlight and bookmark areas for me to go back on. Much more than a book about preaching This book provides plenty of practical advice about preaching, but is more than a book about preaching. Keller provides insight that is valuable for any person (and, of course, Christian) My vote for the standard for preaching The new textbook for preaching. I will review it often. I find it good for my skill and great for my heart Excellent resource This is an excellent resource for new and advanced preachers. It is a great source of information that allows to understand the role of preaching and the preacher from a biblical and theological perspective. Solid, insightful, biblical A refreshing departure from 'how-to' books, Keller emphasizes the power of the Word itself to change hearts. The involvement of technique - connecting with the congregation - is right on and not overbearing. Highly recommended for lay people and clergy alike.

Members Reviews: A beautiful and spiritual American family memoir The first half of this book is filled with memories of growing up in the rural south. The descriptions are of a life that most Americans are only a generation or two removed from and it is an enjoyable experience to remember this way of life. The doctor's memoir is written in a circle, starting from a hospital room, going back to a childhood on a farm, and eventually we come back to the same hospital room. As the doctor recalls his life journey, the listeners have an opportunity to remember the America of our grandparents and parents, perhaps we had a taste of it ourselves if we are bit older, of the family values, the religious roots, and small town lifestyle. Woven throughout this book are the doctor's personal spiritual experiences and evolution. He relates his experiences to Christian beliefs with God, Jesus, Angels, and Heaven as a greater and more vivid experience than Earth. His experiences are in dreams, intuition, or even personal experience in the day.

Title: Triggers Subtitle: Exchanging Parents' Angry Reactions for Gentle Biblical Responses Author: Amber Lia, Brooke McGlothlin - foreword, Wendy Speake Narrator: Wendy Speake, Amber Lia Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 25 mins Language: English Release date: 07-01-17 Publisher: christianaudio.com Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 11 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Do you believe your struggle with anger stems from the wrong behavior you see displayed in your children? The knee-jerk reactions and blowups you're facing are often a result of a bigger set of "triggers". Some of these are external, like a child's disobedience, back talk, or selective hearing, while others are internal, like an overflowing schedule, sleep deprivation, or perhaps your own painful experiences from childhood. Triggers: Exchanging Parent's Angry Reactions for Gentle Biblical Responses examines common parenting issues that cause us to explode inappropriately at our children. Moving beyond simple parenting tips on how to change your child's behavior, authors Amber Lia and Wendy Speake offer biblical insight and practical tools to equip and encourage you on the journey away from anger-filled reactions toward gentle biblical responses. Members Reviews: Incredible! Amazing, encouraging & empowering book for any caregiver! I really enjoyed this book and I have recommended it to many others! Great book! Loved this book! Great advice for Christian moms who get a little angry or overwhelmed with their kids. It has already improved how I communicate with my children. Excellent advice I listened twice and will listen again. Ive taken things away both times and its worked! Uncommon common sense This book gives gentle, sensible responses to real situations and specifically includes Autism and other issues we parents deal with. A great set of answers to the harsh opinions we hear in our heads. Frilly Shallow and liberal. Instead, I would recommend Dr. S. M. Davis' videos on YouTube about anger.

Driven by Eternity Audiobook by John Bevere

Title: Driven by Eternity Subtitle: Make Your Life Count Today & Forever Author: John Bevere Narrator: John Bevere Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 42 mins Language: English Release date: 10-18-16 Publisher: Oasis Audio Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 326 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Anyone can see it: We're captivated by the idea of eternity. No generation or culture can resist its draw. And some part of you already knows this, doesn't it? It's the reason you're thinking about buying this book. God created us with eternity in our hearts because this life is merely a glimpse of what's to come. But what do we know about eternity? Is there more to it than pitchforks and harps? And if so, is any of it relevant to the life we're living now? In Driven by Eternity, best-selling author John Bevere uses an eye-opening allegory and extensive Scripture to paint a vivid picture of the way our lives on earth shape our eternal existence. The truth is, our response to the cross doesn't just determine where we'll spend eternity. It also determines how we'll spend it. Life beyond that final breath isn't just about heaven or hell - it's much more wonderful than that. Members Reviews: 1 of the 10 Most Important Books You'll Ever Read Any additional comments? Driven By Eternity is not for the spiritually squeamish. Yet it contains a message that has eternal consequences for everyone. Too many people think it's okay to recite the "Sinner's Prayer," ask Jesus to come into their hearts, and then go back to living their old lives without even think about developing a relationship with God through Jesus Christ. Yes, it is faith that saves us, but as James chapter 2 says, "faith without works is dead." Driven By Eternity urges you to start LIVING for Christ, and not just being complacent and living a lukewarm (or even cold) life here on earth. And Christians are so focused on earthly matters that they often forget about the eternal treasures we lay up in Heaven. Driven By Eternity presents a clear, Biblical case for entering a deep relationship with God, following His will for our lives, and setti g our sites instead on eternity. Another HUGE bonus to this audiobook is insertion of the 2+ hour-long drama "Affabel: Window of Eternity," written by John Bevere. This is a professionally-recorded audio "movie" that is as good as any Hollywood film you've ever seen or will ever see. "Affabel: Window of Eternity" is a parable of five young people who live their lives in an "earthly" kingdom of Endel, and then are whisked away to the "heavenly" kingdom of Affabel where they stand in front of the Judgment Seat of the King (voiced by John Rhys-Davies, who played Gimli in Lord of the Rings and Salah in the Indiana Jones movies). This, of course, represents Christians standing in front of the Judgment Seat of our Lord and King Jesus Christ. Just this audio drama alone is life-changing, and is worth the price of this book! If you're looking for a light, breezy read constantly patting you on the back and telling you what a great person you are in God's eyes (like a Joel Osteen book), this ain't it. Driven By Eternity is a jarring, compelling, challenging book. It is powerful and life-changing.

The Cure: What If God Isn't Who You Think He Is and Neither Are You? Audiobook

Author: Bill Thrall, Bruce McNicol, John S. Lynch Narrator: Brooke P. Anderson Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 15 mins Language: English Release date: 02-10-14 Publisher: Truefaced Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 285 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: The Cure gives the diagnosis of this century's religious obsession with sin-management. It has poisoned the Church, obscuring the Original Good News and sending millions away-wounded, angry and cynical, from nearly any organized expression of faith. The Cure offers an authentic experience in Christ that frees some from a self-rewarded righteousness, and others from a beaten down striving for a righteousness they can never seem to attain. The Cure infuses a relational theology of grace and identity, which alone can heal, free and create sustainable, genuine, loving, life-giving communities. Members Reviews: Needed a proper narrator Would you consider the audio edition of The Cure: What If God Isn't Who You Think He Is and Neither Are You? to be better than the print version? The narrator's voice is very jarring and you end up listening to it and her extreme annunciations instead of what she's saying. Clearly she was the wrong choice for this book. This book needed a calm, sage-type that understood the subject matter and took the time to read it properly. This narrator has so much energy, sounds like a computer spitting out words, and speaks so fast -- she does not suit the subject matter whatsoever. She does the book a great disservice, sadly. Her 'alternate' character voice is so nasally and robot-like ~~ it belongs in a children's or fantasy book. It was supposed to belong to a mentor-like character, yet it was hard not to laugh while listening to it. Completely unfortunate. Otherwise, this is a great, concise book that will likely be extremely illuminating to most who read it. I'm contemplating purchasing it in non-audible form because the content is so good, but I won't because I'll never read it. Considering this book is only a few hours long, the authors should have the book re-published with a new narrator. That I would purchase and listen to often. This is important information, it highlights perspectives that actually can change lives very quickly. Sadly, it took all of my willpower to finish listening to it AND to glean the meaning/nature of what was being said, due to the narrator. Just didn't enjoy it -had to force myself to finish Hate to criticize anyones works but between the strange narration ( a girl reading a book written by a male author with mixes of her trying to imitate other male characters in the story well it took me several chapters to stop laughing at it) note: she was a very clear reader As far as content it was the same stuff I have heard in his other book just re-done. It was in story form which can be a great way to teach unless the content lacks any real connection with real life. Well with that said aside from a few nuggets of wisdom ( like having a great baked potato served with a really tough steak) I would not recommend it. Great book! This is the 2nd time I've read it & it blessed me once again in this season I'm in. The BEST & HEALTHIEST gospel message out there I personally wish every seeker in the world could spend a week in their favorite quiet retreat with this book and our God. #DefiniteMustRead Worst narrator I've experienced There just wasn't much I can recommend here. The tone of the writing seemed patronizing, as if talking to a child. And the narrator made it worse.

Do you pray for guidance, ask for deliverance, and vow to do better yet fail to progress? As an author, speaker, pastor, and blogger at Ragamuffin Soul, Carlos has lived much of his spiritual life in the spotlight. But like any Christian, his faith story has its ups and downs. He spent decades trying to figure out how to be a "better person." Time and time again, he strived for holiness only to get caught in the web of destructive habits, behaviors, and thought patterns. But the buck stops here. Or, rather, the spider is killed here. In Kill the Spider, Carlos shares personal material ranging from hilarious, self-deprecating stories to passion-filled wisdom - to show others it's not enough to try to "stop sinning". He teaches that knocking out deep-rooted habits and issues comes by treating the issue, not just the symptoms. With transparency, humor, and vulnerable stories, Carlos offers a breath of fresh air to any believer looking to finally step into the freedom in Christ. So sit down. Start listening to the book. And grab a shoe. We're going on a spider hunt. Members Reviews: Looking for my spider!! Great story Carlos! Inspiring, thanks for having the courage to help others get to the heart of their issues and not get tangled in the cobwebs. AMAZING Carlos thank you for your message & being vulnerable! you are a true blessing to everyone! God Bless Life-changing idea! Would you listen to Kill the Spider again? Why? I would absolutely listen to this again and again...partially because Carlos is so entertaining...and mostly because it was relatable. Who was your favorite character and why? Carlos is a hoot! He has away of helping you see yourself in his own struggles which allows you to be very honest about your own reality. What about Carlos Whittakers performance did you like? Its so sincere! Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? I think I literally cried when he was yelling at Godin therapy...who hasnt asked asked those same questions or felt that deep sense of loss and abandonment? Any additional comments? This story doesnt just get you to look at your problems...it helps you to look deeper than that for the reality of why you started using that as a crutch in the first place. Great book! Im so glad someone in a group Im in on Facebook answered the question: Most life-changing Book you read in 2017? Fantastic book that left me sobbing. Los, you wrote a winner with this book. It is going to bring so much healing to people. I have already identified several of my cobwebs and spiders, but I have many more. I listened to the entire book in one day and will pick up a hard copy soon, so I can use my highlighter and pen. I highly recommend this book to everyone. this book was life changing to me! this book has really opened my heart it took me places I didn't realize was there! I never know I had a spider so big it controlled my life! GOD has revealed my spider now its time to kill it. thanks Carlos Whittaker for sharing with me I will operate in the power God has invested in me.

Author: David Platt Narrator: David Platt Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 24 mins Language: English Release date: 02-04-15 Publisher: Tyndale House Publishers, Inc. Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 222 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: What did Jesus really mean when he said, "Follow me"? In this new audiobook, David Platt, author of the New York Times best-selling book Radical: Taking Back Your Faith from the American Dream, contends that multitudes of people around the world culturally think they are Christians yet biblically are not followers of Christ. Scores of men, women, and children have been told that becoming a follower of Jesus simply involves believing certain truths or saying certain words. As a result churches today are filled with people who believe they are Christians - but aren't. We want to be disciples as long as doing so does not intrude on our lifestyles, our preferences, our comforts, and even our religion. Members Reviews: Powerful and Compelling What made the experience of listening to Follow Me the most enjoyable? David Platt is a great author and a great narrator too. Having him be the reader was an excellent choice. Any additional comments? Great book. Thought provoking and moving. Will probably listen to it again. Gives great ideas on how to share our faith! This book gets practical, with amazing examples of how to share our faith. Perfect for us Americans who are tempted to keep our faith hush hush. Needed this! God has been working in my life and is continuing to do so. If you're tired of living the stagnant, Christian life, then do something about it. Reading this book will open up your eyes as to what God really has in store for your life as a Christ follower. If you're not ready to make any kind of change in your life though, don't waste your time reading this one. An explanation of what believers are called to do David Platt shows in this book what Jesus had in mind when He said "follow me". This book is packed with great stories, sound explanation of Scripture, and practical steps in being a disciple of Jesus and making disciples of Jesus. Pretty ok Literally a copy of the cd...complete with the insert next cd instructions every 45 min or so. In all, a good book. The execution could have been better.

Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist Audiobook by Scott Hahn - foreword, Brant Pitre

Title: Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist Subtitle: Unlocking the Secrets of the Last Supper Author: Scott Hahn - foreword, Brant Pitre Narrator: David Cochran Heath Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 13 mins Language: English Release date: 05-08-17 Publisher: Mission Audio Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 56 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: In recent years, Christians everywhere are rediscovering the Jewish roots of their faith. Every year at Easter time, many believers now celebrate Passover meals (known as Seders) seeking to understand exactly what happened at Jesus' final Passover, the night before he was crucified. Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist shines fresh light on the Last Supper by looking at it through Jewish eyes. Using his in-depth knowledge of the Bible and ancient Judaism, Dr. Brant Pitre answers questions such as: Inspiring and informative, Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist is a groundbreaking work that is sure to illuminate one of the greatest mysteries of the Christian faith: the mystery of Jesus' presence in "the breaking of the bread". Members Reviews: Wow you're missing out The author himself says "these are not exigetical novelties". Meaning these have been teachings since the beginning of the church of Christ. They're beautiful and stir a fire in your belly. And it's so sad that Protestant teachers don't even get close. I mean, not close at all. Amazing yet again from Brant Pitre What I love so much about this Scripture scholar is the sense of discovery within the typologies he references using Scripture and the early Church fathers. Just amazing. Brant teases out the real meanings of the Bible verses and their more obscure references to today's cultural self-centeredness by bringing out the traditional Jewish and ancient Christian understanding that is both old and new to readers. This is another keeper. This book is mind blowing. Awesome! This book is amazing! It's very deep and I'm looking forward to listening to it a second time. I thought I understood the Eucharist fairly well and could defend it, but now I feel like I was only looking at one piece of a puzzle. Most in depth book/resource on the Eucharist I've ever come across. Worth listening to twice. Strengthened my faith. Opened the meaning of Scripture. God has a wonderful plan of redemption revealed in Scripture, beginning in Genesis. Absolutely astonishing A great yet simple explanation of how indeed the Holy Eucharist is the fulfillment of Jewish Scripture but how there shall be no doubt it is the real presence of Jesus "until the end of times".

Genesis Audiobook by Dr. Bill Creasy

Title: Genesis Author: Dr. Bill Creasy Narrator: Dr. Bill Creasy Format: Original Recording Length: 14 hrs and 49 mins Language: English Release date: 07-28-11 Publisher: Logos Bible Study Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 404 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: In Genesis the curtain rises on our story. Genesis introduces most of the major themes in the Bible. Listen closely as Logos Bible Studys Dr. Bill Creasy takes you through the story of creation, the fall of man, grace, atonement, faith, justification, redemption and much more in this extraordinary story of beginnings. Starting with Genesis 1-11, the primeval chapters, follow the story as God introduces the plan of Salvation in Chapter 12, and then he makes good on it through three unfolding triptychs: the stories of Abraham/Isaac, Isaac/Jacob and Jacob/Joseph. This is brilliant story telling that stands shoulder to shoulder with the worlds greatest literature. And no one tells the story as well as Dr. Creasy! Editorial Reviews: "In the beginning" So begins perhaps the most familiar verse in the bible, and so begins this fascinating lecture series. Dr. Bill Creasy, retired literature professor at UCLA, turns Genesis, this most fundamental of all texts, into a story that comes alive with his lucid, entertaining, and funny explication. With a clear, energetic voice replete with intellectual curiosity, Creasy approaches Genesis from the perspectives of history, geography, political science, and literature. Full of familiar stories with a fresh, invigorating perspective, Creasy gives listeners a new zest for this first book of the bible. Members Reviews: Dr. Creasy brings the Bible to life!!! It was an amazing and enlightening series of lectures about Genesis. Dr. Creasy brings the characters and events to life through geography and history. He takes an in depth approach to the Bible using factual historical events and geographical locations of each section in the Bible. It becomes easier to picture each story as an actual event rather than 'just a story' in the Bible. He is amusing and keeps most of the lectures light and 'real.' There is nothing boring or droning about these lectures. He speaks clearly and makes these lessons understandable to anyone listening. A must buy for anyone interested in understanding the Bible and applying it to life now. Excellent Bible Study Where does Genesis rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? This is the first in the Logos Bible Study series. Dr. Creasy covers Genesis verse-by-verse, providing context to the material by explaining other passages in the Bible that may relate to a passage under study, with descriptions of the geography and its relationship to the passage, as well as anecdotes from his travels or study. That context has opened up the Bible to me in new ways. Any additional comments? As explained in the opening chapter, this study starts with Genesis in the Old Testament, then moves to Matthew in the New Testament, then Exodus and Leviticus in the Old Testament, then back to Mark in the New Testament, and so on. I have been looking for a guideline online, but haven't been able to find one yet. If I find one, I will try to post the next book to be read in each book's review once I complete each book. Best $4 Audiobook EVER! Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? I don't like bible studies and I almost never write reviews but Dr. Bill Creasy has breathed life into the study of the bible in the most entertaining and most educational way ever. You can only truly learn when you're interested and I think God has put Dr.

The Good and Beautiful God Audiobook by James Bryan Smith

Title: The Good and Beautiful God Subtitle: Falling in Love With the God Jesus Knows Author: James Bryan Smith Narrator: Arthur Morey Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs Language: English Release date: 04-08-10 Publisher: christianaudio.com Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 177 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: We all have ideas that we tell ourselves about God and how he works in our lives. Some are true--but many are false. James Bryan Smith believes those thoughts determine not only who we are, but how we live. In fact, Smith declares, the most important thing about a person is what they think about God. The path to spiritual transformation begins here. Turning to the Gospels, Smith invites you to put your ideas to the test to see if they match up with what Jesus himself reveals about God. Once you've discovered the truth in Scripture, Smith leads you through a process of spiritual formation that includes specific activities aimed at making these new narratives real in your body and soul as well as your mind. At the end of each chapter you'll find an opportunity for soul training, engaging in spiritual practices that reinforce the biblical messages on your mind and heart. Because the best way to make a complete and lasting change is to go through the material in community, small group discussion questions also accompany each chapter. Those who are leading apprentice groups will also find additional help and opportunities to interact with other leaders at the Apprentice website. This deep, loving and transformative book will help you discover the narratives that Jesus lived by--to know the Lord he knew and the kingdom he proclaimed--and to practice spiritual exercises that will help you grow in the knowledge of our good and beautiful God. Members Reviews: Off Kilter When my mind starts to replay narratives about Jesus that are not true causing me to act in all sorts of strange ways in self contempt. Just a few words from this book set me right in the love of God once again. A must for Christ followers Would you listen to The Good and Beautiful God again? Why? Get the right naratives in your life...so many are put there by people other than God. This book helps bridge many gaps of understanding who God really is. I will read this again. This is intended as a group study, although written in a book form. I read it by myself and really enjoyed it, but I can see that it would be better as a group. Smith walks us through a number of false beliefs about God and why they are wrong and then tries to show us God the Father as Jesus knows him. Interspersed throughout are 'soul training' exercises. If you read a chapter a week (as intended) then they are introductory look at spiritual disciplines. It is the first book in a three book series. I have all three and plan on reading the next soon. This will be a book I read again. Love this book! The narrator's voice took a little getting used to in the beginning but soon the content really brought me in deeper. This book dispelled the lies or misunderstandings people tell each other and really solidified my idea of God, the Trinity, and I even teared up a few times. In my healing journey with God from PTSD, He has been teaching me much and His Love is one of the lessons. True Love is what we all desperately need but often are stand-off - ish because of past experiences with people. Trust God to let Him teach you what true love feels like and what it does for our souls. God is Love and "Love never fails." I Corinthians 13:8 Dry narration The content was great, however the narration was nearly robotic.

Title: The Christian Atheist Subtitle: When You Believe in God but Live as if He Doesnt Exist Author: Craig Groeschel Narrator: Tom Schiff Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 52 mins Language: English Release date: 03-23-10 Publisher: Zondervan Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 393 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: "The more I looked, the more I found Christian atheists everywhere." Former Christian atheist Craig Groeschel knows his subject all too well. After over a decade of successful ministry, he had to make a painful self admission: although he believed in God, he was leading his church like God didnt exist. To Christians and non-Christians alike, to the churched and the unchurched, the journey leading up to Groeschels admission and the journey that followsfrom his family and his upbringing to the lackluster and even diametrically opposed expressions of faith he encounteredwill look and sound like the story of their own lives. Now the founding and senior pastor of the multicampus, pace-setting LiveChurch.tv, Groeschel personal journey toward a more authentic God-honoring life is more relevant than ever. Christians and Christian Atheists everywhere will be nodding their heads as they are challenged to take their own honest moment and ask the question: "Am I putting my whole faith in God but still living as if everything was up to me?" Members Reviews: boring narrator What did you like best about The Christian Atheist? What did you like least? The book is well thought out and written. What didnt you like about Tom Schiffs performance? The narrator, is pretty hard to listen to. It seems like the guy reading really doesn't believe what he is reading and is trying to make the content boring. What's more, Craig Groeshel is a fairly animated speaker whereas Tom Schiff read in a pretty monotone voice. Audible, please find narrators that are a better match. Good Read... Hard to listen to Reader... This book has been a good one. Good story lines... Great stories. I have a had a problem with the narrator however. His constant negative intonations and underlying downtrodden tone kept me from really enjoying the best of this book! It's funny, I've listened to a lot of books, I've heard lisps, unintentional whistles, & of course accents, but never has a tone bothered me so much. It's as if the reader spoke with a smirk on his face the whole book. I'm sorry, because of that, I've got to downgrade from 4 to 3 stars. A book for ALL "so called" Christians If you could sum up The Christian Atheist in three words, what would they be? Truth with humor Who was your favorite character and why? To get a point across, the author gives many examples from his own life. His stories are right to the point and he does it with a sense of humor. Which scene was your favorite? The author gave several different examples of what he refers to as a Christian Athiest. I could identify with just about every single one of them. What an eye opener...without judgment. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? I love the fact that the author is candid and honest about the way he was living his life. Outstanding book It really made me examine my own life. I've already read this book 3 times. I find it very helpful in getting my priorities back on track. Food for Thought Would you consider the audio edition of The Christian Atheist to be better than the print version? I found this book to be both an eye opener and a humbler.

Title: Reasons to Believe Subtitle: How to Understand, Defend, and Explain the Catholic Faith Author: Scott Hahn Narrator: Grover Gardner Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 13 mins Language: English Release date: 10-20-10 Publisher: christianaudio.com Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 340 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: In Reasons to Believe, Scott Hahn, a convert to Catholicism, explains the "how and why" of the Catholic faith - drawing from Scripture, his own struggles, and those of other converts, as well as from everyday life and even natural science. Hahn shows that reason and revelation, as well as nature and the supernatural, are not opposed to one another; rather, they offer complementary evidence that God exists. He is someone, and He has a personality, a personal style, that is discernable and knowable. Hahn leads readers to see that God created the universe with a purpose and a form - a form that can be found in the Book of Genesis and that is there when we view the natural world through a microscope, through a telescope, or through our contact lenses. At the heart of the book is Hahn's examination of the 10 "keys to the kingdom" - the characteristics of the Church clearly evident in the Scriptures. As the story of creation discloses, the world is a house that has a Father, a palace where the king is really present. God created the cosmos to be a kingdom, and that kingdom is the universal Church, fully revealed by Jesus Christ. Members Reviews: Amazing person, Scott Hahn Scott is a man with a big commitment and an intellect to get to the depth of things. He is no halfhearted person. Good reader for this book is Grove Gardner. A Catholic for convition and tradition Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Even though I was confirmed when I was a little boy, now as as a husband and father of 4 kids, I have re-discover the abundant riches of my Catholic faith. I'm not afraid, nor embarrased to proclaim that Jesus is present in his Church, who He is constantly invigorating and renewing through his sacraments and inspiring us with the merits and virtous lives of the saints. Scott Hahn explains how in the Economy of God, the natural (the Creation) and supernatural (the Revelation) are completed in the death, resurrection of Jesus and in the institution of the Church, his bride and sacrament of salvation for the world. I listened it completely when I downloaded it and now I am studying it, following the cited verses the Catholic Bible, the Catechism of the Catholic Church. I would recommend it to anyone who is seriouly searching for the roots of their Christian faith. "Reasons to Believe" unbiased and scientific approach with lead you to discover and help you embrace the Church the Scott and I are proud to profess. What did you like best about this story? The authenticity and tenacity of the author to conduct a deep research. Which scene was your favorite? When his colleagues brought out to discussion if the baptism of infants was unbiblical, to which he questioned: is re-baptizing biblical? Jesus said "Let the children come to me..." Mat. 19, 14.

The Lord Audiobook by Romano Guardini

Title: The Lord Author: Romano Guardini Narrator: Gordon Greenhill Format: Unabridged Length: 26 hrs and 13 mins Language: English Release date: 07-20-16 Publisher: Gateway Editions Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 100 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: The only true and unedited telling of the life of Christ - his life and times in historical context, but not lacking the psychology behind his physical being and spirit. Unlike other books seeking to strip Jesus' story to reveal only the human being, Romano Guardini's The Lord gives the complete story of Jesus Christ - as man, Holy Ghost, and Creator. Pope Benedict XVI lauds Guardini's work as providing a full understanding of the Son of God away from the prejudice that rationality engenders. Put long-held myths aside and discover the entire truth about God's only begotten Son. Members Reviews: We need Guardini today more than ever Romano Guardini is one of my favorite Catholic authors and I return to his books often. His work is always thought-provoking, profound, and practical. I am working my way through THE LORD once more as we begin Lent tomorrow. The book is an extraordinary treasury you're sure to return to again and again. It is far too rich a resource to be read only once. This is a work of profound theology, yet it is never dry or dull. It was one of Guardini's gifts to make the complex more easily understood while never compromising the truth. I appreciate having it on audio to accompany the print book. In fact, you might want to get it on Kindle or in print to make your study easier because of the many Bible verses referenced throughout the book. I recommend THE LORD to every Catholic, along with Guardini's THE ART OF PRAYER, which is one of the most beautiful books I've ever read on the subject. God bless you. The Lord A fantastic way to study scripture. It all leads to Revelation and is the best commentary and reflection I have ever seen. A masterpiece Of the thousand or so books I've read this one is a top ten! It opened my eyes to a new way of seeing Jesus. Content and performance are excellent! Masterpiece! Would you consider the audio edition of The Lord to be better than the print version? Only had the audio version but this book is so important, I now own the book as well. What did you like best about this story? This classic provides short meditations (about 20 minutes) on the life of Christ - motivational and inspiring. Although the length is intimidating, once you start listening, you will know you have discovered a treasure. I finished it during Lent, helping me draw closer to the Lord, and plan to keep it on my phone for periodic re-listens and plan to listen again in its entirety next holy season. Any additional comments? Narration is wonderful. Although ideal for 20 minutes listens given the short chapters, Gordon Greenhill's voice does not tire allowing for much longer listens. The best book I have ever read about our Lord The narrator, Gordon Greenhill, did such a fantastic job of putting us in a intimate class room scenario where only the subject matter was carefully being dismember a bit at a time void of our surroundings. The author, Romano Guardini, presented an idea that can only help us understand our Lord and trash rational doubts that only hinder our progress towards our full understanding of Him.

To believe that you are worthy to pray and ask for exactly what it is in your life that you desire. He lets you know that God put that desire in your heart and that you should absolutely strive for what it is in your life that will make you happy. Pray and Pray and Pray for what you want. God wants us to be happy. God does not want to see us depressed or unhappy.

The Art of Letting Go Audiobook by Richard Rohr

biacuaduc@gmail.com (Richard Rohr) — Wed, 14 Apr 2010 18:51:12 GMT

Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/612/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Art of Letting Go Subtitle: Living the Wisdom of Saint Francis Author: Richard Rohr Narrator: Richard Rohr Format: Original Recording Length: 5 hrs and 58 mins Language: English Release date: 04-14-10 Publisher: Sounds True Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 546 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: We often think of saints as rare individuals whose gifts far exceed our own, and St. Francis is no exception. But for Fr. Richard Rohr, a prolific author and renowned speaker, the life and teachings of this beloved figure offer an authentic spirituality we can all embody. On the Art of Letting Go, Fr. Rohr gives us a six session learning course that explores: the surprising richness we discover by simplifying our lives - without taking a vow of poverty; liberation from our self-limiting biases and certitudes; contemplation and action, two key steps toward communing more deeply with the Divine, and more. Members Reviews: delivery a bit disappointing;still a 5 star listen As a long time listener of Rohr audio (tapes dating back to 1976), I found the delivery in this sounded more "scripted" than his usual dynamic and enthusiastic spontaneous style. However, it condenses and updates his older audio "Spirituality of Subtraction" very nicely. This retreat is directed at a broader audience than his usual Christian, and that somehow broadens his presentation of Francis' radical critique of society even more. Good to see a teacher like Rohr on Sounds True and Audible. He is not a fad teacher and walks the talk (or the silence), and has been doing so for decades. His wisdom grows over the years and can benefit anyone interested in spirituality, no matter the variation. Buy his Eager to Love print book instead. I really love Richard Rohr, and was happy to see a bunch of his books on Audible. Sadly, most of them are read by an atrocious narrator, so I've stayed away. However, when I saw that some of the titles here are not audio books but rather, audio teaching, I was excited to try one out. This one was fairly enjoyable, and Rohr's voice is pleasant to hear on 1.5x or 2.0 (otherwise, it's painfully slow on this one as he's reading a script, unlike the others that feature live teaching). But the content--inspired by Francis of Assisi's life and teaching--isn't by far as profound as Rohr's brilliant book Eager to Love. I'd highly recommend buying this book instead (but not the audio book due to said atrocious narrator who sucks the life out of the content) if you're interested in this topic. It's profound and even life-changing, whereas a lot of this content is forgettable. Series of lectures on spiritual development Over the last couple months I have come to the conclusion that Evangelicals (of whom I am one) are good at sharing the gospel and keeping the importance of conversion squarely in their sights. But I have also come to see that groups that assume the large scale Christianity of their communities (those that have been state churches) have done much more thinking about how to live as a Christian. It is cliche (and I think at least partially true) that Evangelicals are interested in you up until your conversion. After that I think we fall into the Paul problem of continuing to feed one another spiritual milk. We are still trying to save one another. But I think those that theologically are more oriented toward infant baptism and Christendom have thought more about living as a Christian. (The negative for them is that they also now need to evangelize their own as Christendom has broken down.) There is nothing wrong with keeping the gospel at the forefront of our Christianity.

As saints we are called to a higher and more noble existence than being mear human. we are called to royalty!!!

Destined to Win Audiobook by Kris Vallotton

Title: Destined to Win Subtitle: How to Embrace Your God-Given Identity and Realize Your Kingdom Purpose Author: Kris Vallotton Narrator: Kris Vallotton Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 40 mins Language: English Release date: 01-10-17 Publisher: Thomas Nelson Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 168 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Pastor and cofounder of the Bethel School of Ministry Kris Vallotton walks Christians through the profound process of discovering their true identity and experiencing the wonder of their kingdom purposes. Christians are often told that they were born with a purpose that reaches beyond their human strivings, but most are not sure how to break past the daily struggles holding them back, much less how to fully step into their callings. As a pastor and the cofounder of the Bethel School of Ministry, Kris Vallotton has been teaching Christians all over the world how to walk in wholeness and purpose for more than 17 years. In Destined to Win, he passes on the lessons that will help readers discover who they really are, overcome destructive behaviors, and become equipped for their kingdom purposes. Confronting the challenges that limit Christians - such as living shackled by past pain, fear, and unforgiveness - Vallotton offers practical solutions to the often complex problems that undermine their destinies and derail their purposes. With personal stories and biblical teaching, Destined to Win combines practical wisdom and profound revelation to unlock the latent potential present in each person. Members Reviews: Lives Up to Its' Title What did you love best about Destined to Win? Having sat under the teaching of Kris for years in Bethel Church, I've appreciated his simple and blunt, yet humble style of communication. Destined to Win continues in his genuine vein of imparting truths designed to being awareness and freedom to ones life, which implicitly gives people permission to be human, yet calls them to nobility. I love this about his words, and this book. What other book might you compare Destined to Win to and why? I might compare Destined to Win with The 8th Habit by Stephen R. Covey, in that they both focus on helping individuals and organizations maximize their innate potential, but Destined to Win is much more explicit about the role God plays in making this happen. Which scene was your favorite? Kris's candid admission of his personal style of external processing was one of my favorites. In addition, his discussion of the Nobility "bus", or group of people helped me to to discover my voice in a new way. Now I realize why it often has taken extra work for me to connect with others. Learning about this is very cathartic and helps me to see that I need to put forth more effort to connect with others of my "tribe", and gives me hope that there is a group of people to which I belong, dispelling the notion that I'm alone. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes. It's mix of principles with concrete stories and illustrations made it relatable and interesting, although to get the most out of the book there are certain question posed by Kris which one might be interested in answering to discover more about themselves and their organization. Any additional comments? It's a strong book that was certainly worth the purchase price, especially since I'm Christian and am cut from the same clothe as Bethel Church. However, this does not preclude others from getting a lot out of Destined to Win since his simple and direct language doesn't use too much "Christianese." I would add that the ending, though valuable, is not a strong finish.

Do More Better Audiobook by Tim Challies

Title: Do More Better Subtitle: A Practical Guide to Productivity Author: Tim Challies Narrator: Lloyd James Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 52 mins Language: English Release date: 12-24-15 Publisher: christianaudio.com Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 135 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Don't try to do it all: Do more good. Better. I am no productivity guru. I am a writer, a church leader, a husband, and a father with many responsibilities and with new tasks coming at me all the time. I wrote this short, fast-paced, practical guide to productivity to share what I have learned about getting things done in today's digital world. Whether you are a student or a professional, a work-from-home dad or a stay-at-home mom, it will help you learn to structure your life to do the most good to the glory of God. In Do More Better, you will learn: It really is possible to live a calm and orderly life, sure of your responsibilities and confident in your progress. You can do more better. And I would love to help you get there. Members Reviews: Finally on track to better productivity! Read twice in one day. set up my tools and system the next day. very practical and easy to follow plan for better organization. 5000 in my inbox now down to zero with a place for everything from now on. Excellent book, well read So glad I got this book and listen to it. It is full of extremely helpful information. The narrator is excellent. Get it and apply it. Reasons and Guide on being productive Do More Better: A practical guide to productivity is a book written by Pastor, blogger, and teacher Tim Challies and the audiobook is superbly narrated by Lloyd James. It is a rather short book covering the subject of productivity at just over one hundred pages with the audiobook edition coming in at almost three hours. Everyone one of us is given the same amount of time per day of our lives, and we have to be able to know, understand, and prioritize our activities needing to be accomplished; including both work, family, and free time. The book is a quick practical guide from a Christian perspective on how and why you should be doing more and doing it better. It is not a book designed to pressure or push you to do more. Nor is it a book that take you down a path saying that productivity is the only solution to all your problems in life; like some others I have read. Instead, it simply shares with you many of the obstacles each of us faces when it comes to productivity and how many of us like to take the easier road of not being productive which never ends well for anyone involved. Not being productive is not an option. I have never been disappointed with anything I have previously read by Mr. Challies, and this book is no exception. I will say that for someone who is already leveraging technology or is tech savvy in the way the book describes in its latter chapters, you will still get something out of reading the first half. You may also be surprised and learn something new in the second half. The same can be said for those weak with the more modern tools able to assist with productivity, or for those looking to answer the more practical question of; what can I do to get started being more productive? You will get most of the practical aspects covered in the latter half of the book along with some good suggestions and tutorials on various technologies or tools to assist with productivity. If you are a connoisseur of productivity books or methods, Challis shares nothing entirely new or innovative; which is a good thing. He does not claim to have a silver bullet or technology that you can buy from him that will take care of your productivity issues.

Title: Free of Me Subtitle: Why Life Is Better When It's Not About You Author: Sharon Hodde Miller Narrator: Carla Mercer-Meyer Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 40 mins Language: English Release date: 11-20-17 Publisher: christianaudio.com Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 8 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: We live in a culture that's all about self, becoming the best "me" I can be instead of becoming like Jesus. This me-centered message affects every area of our lives - our friendships, our marriages, even our faith - and it breaks each one in different ways. The self-focused life robs our joy, shrinks our souls, and is the reason we never quite break free of insecurity. In this book, Sharon Hodde Miller invites us into a bigger, Jesus-centered vision - one that restores our freedom and inspires us to live for more. She helps listeners: Anyone yearning for a purpose bigger than "project me" will cherish this paradigm-shifting message of true fulfillment. Members Reviews: Five Stars all should read A must-read! I loved this book. I had to hold myself back from highlighting everything, but there were just so many gems of wisdom I wanted to revisit later that it was hard! Iâve been recommending it to all my friends. Encouraging This book was both convicting and encouraging. Sharon writes in a winsome way. I plan to take much of her advice seriously and have learned how to be more about Jesus and less about âmeâ. Highly Recommend This book is gospel-centered and very timely in an age and culture where we are self-focused. I appreciated the authorâs raw honesty while also holding out our only hope - Christ. This book does not disappoint in helping to realign our hearts with our calling and purpose. Five Stars Christmas gift

Title: Toxic Charity Subtitle: How Churches and Charities Hurt Those They Help (And How to Reverse It) Author: Robert D. Lupton Narrator: Patrick Lawlor Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 9 mins Language: English Release date: 01-06-15 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 170 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: In his four decades of urban ministry, Robert D. Lupton has experienced firsthand how our good intentions can have unintended, dire consequences. We fly off on mission trips to poverty-stricken villages, hearts full of pity and suitcases bulging with giveaways - trips that one Nicaraguan leader describes as effective only in "turning my people into beggars." In Toxic Charity, Lupton urges individuals, churches, and organizations to step away from these spontaneous, often destructive acts of compassion and toward thoughtful paths to community development. He delivers proven strategies for moving from toxic charity to transformative charity.Proposing a powerful "Oath for Compassionate Service", Lupton offers all the tools and inspiration we need to develop healthy, community-driven programs that produce deep, measurable, and lasting change. Everyone who volunteers or donates to charity needs to wrestle with this book. Critic Reviews: "A must-read book for those who give or help others." ---Booklist Members Reviews: Good first time This was my first audio book through audible. I work at a food bank and had heard some people around the office talking about this book. Since I drive around quite a bit visiting our pantries, I thought this would be a perfect way to "read" this book. Personally I am secular, so the Christian missionary aspect of this book was not something I could fully relate to, but I could appreciate it as an outsider and found it interesting. As someone in a non profit service industry I thought this book was very thought provoking and I liked a lot of the author's insights. As an audio book, I thought the narrator was good. Not monotonous, but not over active in his recitations. He was easy to follow and decently engaging. I would definitely listen to it again, maybe next time not in a car so I can devote 100% of my attention to it. Changed Everything This book has changed the way I view my ministry in Peru where I have traveled four consecutive years to serve - as a "vacationary." I can't wait for others on my mission team to join me in reading Toxic Charity so we can all engage in productive discussions about where to go from here in *developing* and truly partnering with our partner church in that area. This book is excellent and thought-provoking. Highly recommend. We need to rethink our charity motives. We seem to have things twisted around. We want to help others but be don't seem to help them in a way that makes them grow to a point of helping them take care of themselves. Toxic Charity focused on helping them to have dignity in lifting themselves up instead of always being dependent on others. Very little scriptural support Found a lot of the language disrespectful & dehumanizing. Not sure which Gospel is being preached the one of Jesus or capitalism. Lastly doesn't deal with racism as a factor in poverty or social policy, where he does there is no empirical data presented to support his assertions. Let's not help people I thought this book was awful. Seriously let's talk about Christmas toy drives. The author wants them to be gone and have the parents either pay a couple of bucks or volunteer for a few hours to get a toy.

Title: Rediscover Catholicism Subtitle: A Spiritual Guide to Living with Passion & Purpose Author: Matthew Kelly Narrator: Matthew Kelly Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 34 mins Language: English Release date: 03-15-16 Publisher: Beacon Publishing Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 199 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Over the past 20 years, Matthew Kelly has seen more of the world than most presidents and more of the Church than most bishops. Now, in this unique and timely book, he proposes that Catholicism is not a lifeless set of rules and regulations, but a way of life designed by God to help each person reach his or her full potential. With remarkable insight, Kelly dispels dozens of myths that surround the rejection of Catholicism today and provides a profound and practical vision of what will lead the Catholic Church to thrive again in the future. Rediscover Catholicism is quickly becoming the most-read Catholic book of our times. From the spellbinding opening story, Kelly grips listeners and takes them on a life-changing journey to rediscover the genius of Catholicism. Members Reviews: A good reminder of a wonderful Gift The Church is a wonder and also ordinary. It draws equally the truly gifted person as well as the most ordinary. It is the great equalizer and a true spiritual elevator always offering a secure path to God. Mr. Kelly, in a very simple way, reminds us of these things. He is clear and easily followed. Loved this! This book as awakened a fire inside my heart! For God, for The Church, and to be the best version of myself. In the hopes that I have the courage to inspire more Catholics, people of faith, and people who do not yet know the gift of God! Very one-sided, Americentric book. If you're a mid-western conservative American Catholic who prefers to see our Church as a place to recharge your battery, this is the book for you. Not a book that really challenges a person to grow to question the direction our world is heading in terms of the important social justice issues of our time such as mass migration due to political unrest, war, climate change, etc. This is an easy read for those who may be questioning their faith. Otherwise, look into how you might make a real contribution to change. Incredible! Matthew Kelly is a disciple! His knowledge of what every catholic is going through and needs is based off his experiences and observations. This book is a blue print for the future of the Catholic Church in its quest to become a beacon of hope that is so desperately needed in our society. Matthew Kelly's narration is compelling and keeps you in anticipation of what is to come. Thank you Matthew Kelly for reenergizing my desire to be part of the church again! One of the best books I've ever read. An insightful and motivating message that renewed my love and appreciation for my Catholic faith. Encourages virtue and focuses how we can become the best version of ourselves.

The Problem of Pain Audiobook by C. S. Lewis

Lewis Narrator: Simon Vance Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 58 mins Language: English Release date: 05-13-05 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 617 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: C.S. Lewis sets out to disentangle this knotty issue, but wisely adds that in the end no intellectual solution can dispense with the necessity for patience and courage. Members Reviews: An Extraordinary Little Book This book is not for people who fear a questioning of their faith. Nor is it for those who hate intellectualizing religion. No Bible thumping, no cute or warm stories, no inane pycho-babble. It is a dispassionate and logical tour de force showing first why the notion of God arises in humans and then why morality based on a loving God is possible in a world that seems at times totally cold and empty. His discussion of the concept of omnipotence is probably the best I've ever heard. Very persuasive. Lewis was a celebrated professor of English at Oxford. He became an atheist at the tender age of 13, but later converted to Christianity (with the help of his colleague Tolkein) at the age of 31. He is perhaps the most famous modern Christian intellectual. The narration of this audiobook is unbelievably good. The narrator Robert Whitfield is not often given praise in the reviews. He is a true professional and his readings only add to the quality of the experience. He has the same type of perfect British cadence and disinterested tone that James Mason had in the movies. What a voice! The meaning of our existence I think this book has a very unfortunate title. Two things people are most likely to shun are problems and pain; therefore this very precious book is perhaps overlooked by many. It is not a book about pain but an explanation of first, why pain in the world, is a problem at all. If our existence were not attributed to a loving creator, then no explanation for why there is pain would be necessary. Second, if God does truly love us, then why is there so much suffering? Does He lack the ability or the will to make things better for us, His creatures? Of course not, so why does He allow us to go on like this? Lewis takes a very interesting approach to show that the world is the way it is because it is the only possible way God could be who He is and love us the way He does and most important of all - reveal Him self to us. This book is a journey into understanding the God who created us, loves us, and gave his Son to save us to the uttermost. The narration is very good also. very helpful book. Would you consider the audio edition of The Problem of Pain to be better than the print version? I enjoy the audio version as I am in my long commute to and from the office. With this particular author it is important to re-listen to some sections as it is hard to comprehend totally the first time one listens due to the depth of the subject. Finally some decent answers I write, "finally" some decent answers, and yet this book has been around since before World War II. The author, an agnostic-turned-Christian explores the knotty questions of whether God is good, powerful, and omnicient all at once, and whether and why such a god would permit pain in the human experience. This is one of those I'll read/listen to several times. Such Great Insight I have always loved CSL's work. He has no fear to tackle the big conflicts of Christianity and unravel them in a way that is unbiased. So many authors, both Christian and athiestic, tend to write based on how they want to see the world, or how their pre-conceived notions push them.

The Gospel According to Jesus Audiobook by John MacArthur

Author: John MacArthur Narrator: Tom Casaletto Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 28 mins Language: English Release date: 11-08-09 Publisher: Zondervan Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 340 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: What does Jesus mean when he says, "Follow me"? Twenty years ago, pastor-teacher and best-selling author John MacArthur tackled that seemingly simple question and wrote a book that has since taken its place among Christianity's classics. This 20th anniversary edition of MacArthurs provocative book has been revised and contains one new chapter. ©2008 John F. MacArthur Jr. (P)2009 Zondervan Members Reviews: This message needs to be heard Before listening to this book I was approached by someone I respect in the faith who "feared" I might be in the Lordship salvation camp. At the time, I had no idea what he meant. That night I started to do some research on both sides of the argument. Most of the more modern writings on the Lordship Salvation argument mentioned this book, so I started listening to it. This book is accurate and gives detailed explanation and expository teaching based on the gospels. What I really liked about this book is that the author not only provided his own view, but he also repeatedly throughout the entire book, quoted opinions and strong arguments from the other side. He then of course explained in his words why he didn't think those views were valid. This is definitely worth a listen. Although now that I have heard it, it is one of those books that I think I might want to own a physical copy so I can easily recall certain pages or arguments. John MacArthur at his best I would have to call this a must read for all Christians! It really opens your eyes to ideas and a view of scripture that is not mentioned from many pulpits. Well worth your time. Why did I not get it sooner Where does The Gospel According to Jesus rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Top 10 Who was your favorite character and why? Jesus Which scene was your favorite? Chapter one Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Listened all at once and then went back Any additional comments? Bought an addition book after listening Everything I expected Listening to this book made the time fly by - I just kept talking back to it. "Thank you", "Yes!", and, "So, THAT's what that means!" were heard from me throughout my listening. I found myself wanting to go to my Bible to highlight a passage and make notes, so beware if you're listening in the car! The only thing that could have made this better is if John MacArthur had taken the time to record the reading himself. The reader at times had difficulty expressing the author's intent and enthusiasm, and even mispronounced a couple of words, but it did not detract enough from the presentation for me to reduce a star. Difficult doctrinal issues tackled. John MacArthur hits tough issues of doctrine head on with clarity and poise. Sadly, the narrator does said poise an injustice by mispronouncing many key words as though unfamiliar with the subject matter. While it is not severe enough to recommend passing over this title, it might be worthy of consideration that the production company record a revised version with a more competent narrator.

The Gnostic Gospels Audiobook by Elaine Pagels

Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/612/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Gnostic Gospels Author: Elaine Pagels Narrator: Lorna Raver Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 9 mins Language: English Release date: 04-04-06 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 518 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Pagels argues that Christian orthodoxy grew out of the political considerations of the day, serving to legitimize and consolidate early church leadership. Her contrast of that developing orthodoxy with Gnostic teachings presents an intriguing trajectory on a world faith as it "might have become". Critic Reviews: "The first major and eminently readable book on gnosticism benefiting from the discovery in 1945 of a collection of Gnostic Christian texts at Nag Hammadi in Egypt." (The New York Times Book Review) Members Reviews: The other side of Jesus Interesting, enlightening and intense: the listener learns about another side of Jesus, one that encourages his disciples to find the truth within themselves. The issues before the early church are discussed and you come to understand why the church rejected these gnostic teachings. They felt that Jesus intended to be accessible to more than an educated, elite few. That's hard to argue, but the idea of self-knowledge is also appealing, at least to me. Dr Pagels refrains from editorializing, which I appreciated. She tells you what the manuscripts say, develops some of the concepts, and leaves it to you to decide what you believe. This book is so packed with information that I think I would have preferred the printed form, so I could re-review particular passages. I also found the reader's voice to be rough and raspy, unlike Dr Pagel's voice which is smooth and pleasant (as seen on TV). Overall, very worth the effort, and you'll probably want to listen to it more than once. A must-read There is so much to know about Christ, the origins of the Christian faith, and how it turned out the way it has. Unfortunately for a great many reasons the contents of these and probably many other texts have been hidden from the world for hundreds of years and its great to have these particular ones set out so well in their greater context. This book introduces and suggests things that most Christians (or anyone for that matter) would never consider a possibility, enhances many pieces of understanding and severely challenges others. There's no new religion here, but the one you had is supplied with some interesting additions! Dr Pagels' extensive subject knowledge of the texts of the Nag Hammadi library as well as other historical, political and religious sources, brings up some key questions and facts, attempts to answer them in light of a far wider body of evidence and leaves the reader wanting to continue the study... Which is possibly the best thing a book like this can do THE TRUE CHURCH Elaine Pagels is a Professor of Religion at Princeton University. She has a Ph.D. in religion from Harvard University. Modern Library calls Pagels book, The Gnostic Gospels one of the 100 most important books of the twentieth century. For all religious organizations and particularly the Christian church, The Gnostic Gospels shakes the foundations of institutional religion. Like the beginning of a story of adventure and mystery, Pagels recounts the discovery of a fifty-two text collection of papyrus sheets recounting the beginnings of the Christian church. Frustration remains at the conclusion of The Gnostic Gospels, even after reading Pagels insightful interpretation, because gnostic documentation is, like every written document of the time, removed from witnesses to the truth, i.e.

Victory Over the Darkness Audiobook by Neil T. Anderson

Title: Victory Over the Darkness Subtitle: Realizing the Power of Your Identity in Christ Author: Neil T. Anderson Narrator: Neil T. Anderson Format: Abridged Length: 2 hrs and 55 mins Language: English Release date: 06-18-09 Publisher: Oasis Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 321 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Victory Over the Darkness emphasizes the importance of believing and internalizing the cardinal truths of Scripture as a base from which to renew the mind and fend off Satan's relentless attempt to convince us that we are less than Christ empowers us to be. Members Reviews: Steps to freedom! This book is a wonderful book introducing the Steps to Freedom in Christ. Neil Anderson narrated his own book so you definately know what the author was expressing during the writings. I recommend this book to anyone struggling with circumstances and life in general. This book will explain why and how these feelings rise in someone and how to regain the peace and faith in God. Who are you? I have this book in paperback, so this audio is a review for me. It was comforting and renewing to internalize again. In a conversational tone, (with a few chuckles along the way), Dr. Anderson reminds you WHO YOU ARE in Christ, which enables you to "fight the good fight". It's like having him sitting in your living room with you or having a cup of coffee with him at your dining room table. I recommend it to all Christians. After reading this book the first time, I had an online conversation with a sister who obviously had not heard these things at her church. In the course of the conversation, she commented, "well who do you think I am, some princess, or something?" My answer was, "not in and of yourself, but by virtue of who you are in Christ, yes, you are a princess". Some of the chapter titles: "Who are you?" "Forever different" "See Yourself for Who You Really Are" "Something Old, Something New" "Becoming the Spiritual Person You Want to Be" "The Power of Positive Believing" "You Can't Live Beyond What You Believe" "Winning the Battle for Your Mind" "Healing Emotional Wounds from Your Past". This is not a book on spiritual warfare, per se, but if it interests you, he has written "The Bondage Breaker" and "The Beginner's Guide to Spiritual Warfare", among others. Helped me know who I truly am I've listened twice and I expect to listen a few more times shortly. Why? Well, something in the telling of it really brought home that I don't need to try to be what I already am: God's child. Hallelujah! the best tagline for this book: For God's Children: Stop trying to be what you already are Glad to have read this book What did you love best about Victory Over the Darkness? I read the paperback first but my sister was have trouble making time to read the book. So we got this audio download. Loved it. It followed the book closely and I did not feel like there was much skipped from the book in the audio though it is listed as abridged. What did you like best about this story? Enjoyed hearing Truth. Made my heart sing. What about Neil T. Andersons performance did you like? Neil read it in a conversational tone. That made it easy to listen to, even in one seating. A must read for every believer Truth sets us free, and this book is full of biblical truth that we need to be reminded of or learn for the first time. I highly recommend this book for everyone.

The Lamb's Supper Audiobook by Scott Hahn

Title: The Lamb's Supper Subtitle: The Mass as Heaven on Earth Author: Scott Hahn Narrator: Scott Hahn Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 29 mins Language: English Release date: 12-31-09 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 343 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Best-selling author Scott Hahn sheds new light on the Mass, offering readers a deeper appreciation of the most familiar of Catholic rituals. Of all things Catholic, there is nothing that is so familiar as the Mass. With its unchanging prayers, the Mass fits Catholics like their favorite clothes. Yet most Catholics sitting in the pews on Sundays fail to see the powerful supernatural drama that enfolds them. Pope John Paul II described the Mass as "heaven on earth", explaining that what "we celebrate on earth is a mysterious participation in the heavenly liturgy." Critic Reviews: "Hahn's enthusiasm...is considerable - and infectious. Furthermore, he delivers his arguments with great levity (demonstrated in chapter titles such as "Oath Meal"), which makes The Lamb's Supper quite a tasty read." (Amazon.com review) Members Reviews: My Lord and My God - I'm home at last! Where does The Lamb's Supper rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Top! What did you like best about this story? This book has helped me make sense of the Mass. I was raised Catholic and being able to make sense of the "Lamb's Supper," our Mass, in the Bible has given me so much insight into the book of Revelation and into my amazing Christ-given faith! I have enjoyed it so much and I suggest it to anyone who is interested in deepening their understanding of the Mass, the book of Revelation and Catholicism. Ultimately, whoever wants to deepen their relationship with the Blessed Trinity, our God...read this book and pray about it! Be amazed! Which scene was your favorite? Heaven touches down to Earth.... Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? All of it! God is so good! This is the best book I've read on Catholic Mass If you could sum up The Lamb's Supper in three words, what would they be? Intelligent, Faith, Revealing Who was your favorite character and why? This is kind of a silly question since this is a non-fiction, religious book. But my answer would be God. Why? God became man and sacraficed himself for m sake, and not matter what I do, he loves me as his child. Who do you think my favorite character is? Which character as performed by Scott Hahn was your favorite? himself... Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? The entire book moved me. In the end, Scott is a very educated and studied Christian. When he explains the Mass as heaven on earth, they open things inside myself, allowing me to more fully participate (and understand) the mass on each and every Sunday. If growing your understanding of God (and by doing such groing your faith) doesn't move you, I'm not sure what will. Any additional comments? Scott Hahn is an intellectual writer. Still, he has a knack for connecting with us "ordinary folk". Scott puts his years of study together into a solid explanaiton of wha the mass is, how the early Christians initially organized it, and what it means. The last place you might look would be the book of Revelations, but Scott goes into great detail into his journey of trying to decipher that most cryptic of books. He has spent a large portion of his life researching that book and what it may or may not mean. He explains how little satisfaction he gained from the simple explanations repeated over and over in his calvanist origins.

Tolle brings his presence into this workshop in a remarkable way and guides you into being more present yourself while listening to his teachings. The audio quality is absolutely acceptable and one can hear him clearly. If you are looking for a helping hand to infuse your work and life with a level of awareness of the highest standard, this is it! Awesome Tolle!! Would you listen to Practicing Presence again? Why? Yes many times, because, with Tolle it is about grasping a concept and you might not get it the first time as you might not be ready, this book will be very helping in helping others going through trauma and pain, so th emore I listen to it th emore I can retain. What did you like best about this story? The lessons on presences and spaciousness. What does the narrator bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Eckharts audio are much bett than reading because you can feel the inflection and understand and absorb better listening. Any additional comments? The comments about the audio has not affected my listening to this, it hasnt bothered me at all, there were a couple of times where you hear some type of noise such as maybe his mouth brusing the mic, but honestly it is a live recording. I wouldnt let that stopme from buying this great audio book. the voice of the unmanifest Where does Practicing Presence rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? brilliantly Any additional comments? this audio is the voice of the unmanifest in the manifest world. to appreciate it - allow yourself to experience what is being said , not intellectualize.... Useful and full of personal anecdotes! This has some of the funniest things I have heard him say after listening to 15+ of his books! If you want more stories of His past life this has about the most of them I've found so far. People asked a lot of great questions that he answers in this also. Out of Form into Energy Where does Practicing Presence rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? In the top with some of the other Eckhart Tolle audiobooks.

Title: The Shack Revisited Subtitle: There Is More Going On Here than You Ever Dared to Dream Author: C. Baxter Kruger Narrator: C. Baxter Kruger Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 48 mins Language: English Release date: 10-02-12 Publisher: Hachette Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 261 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Millions have found their spiritual hunger satisfied by William P. Young's number-one New York Times best seller, The Shack - the story of a man lifted from the depths of despair through his life-altering encounter with God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Now C. Baxter Kruger's The Shack Revisited guides readers into a deeper understanding of these three persons to help readers have a more profound connection with the core message of The Shack - that God is love. An early fan of The Shack and a close friend to its author, Kruger shows why the novel has been enthusiastically embraced by so many Christians worldwide. In the words of William P. Young from the foreword to The Shack Revisited, "Baxter Kruger will stun readers with his unique cross of intellectual brilliance and creative genius as he takes them deeper into the wonder, worship, and possibility that is the world of The Shack." Members Reviews: Required This book should be required reading before anyone criticizes the book "The Shack ". One may not agree with how the gospel message is presented in the Young's book but one will find themselves being hard-pressed to disagree with the presentation in this book. While I believe you do not have to have read the book The Shack before reading this book it would do a world of good to put everything in proper context An energy explosion of joy in relationship. When I first read "The Shack" in 2008, the Spirit whispered in my ear several times, but I was too broken at the time to know Her voice. This recent time was much different. Then Baxter, who is a master communicator, comes along and fills in the blanks - and more. I listened to this book twice and have decided to purchase a hard copy. Absolutely breathtaking. AWESOME! Listen 5 times each time it was different., Mr Baxter Great job narrating. just beautiful. Great book I liked book because it explained more about God. If you read the shack I would say you need this one. If is a great tool for bringing to Christ. A Must for Fans of The Shack. I really enjoyed this book. Having read and enjoyed " The Shack "a few years ago I was not sure what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised This book takes the ideas of the trinity presented in the shack and expounds on them, especially the role of The Holy Spirit in our lives. After listening to the audio I went out and purchase a hard copy of the book. I Highly Recommend The Shack Revisited.

Title: When the Church Was Young Subtitle: Voices of the Early Fathers Author: Marcellino D'Ambrosio Narrator: Marcellino D'Ambrosio Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 8 mins Language: English Release date: 07-25-14 Publisher: Servant Books Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 421 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: If the word trinity isn't in Scripture, why is it such an important part of our faith? And if the Bible can be interpreted in many ways, how do we know what to make of it? And who decided what should be in the Bible anyway? The Church Fathers provide the answers! Marcellino D'Ambrosio dusts off what might have been just dry theology to bring you the exciting stories of great heroes such as Ambrose, Augustine, Basil, Athanasius, John Chrysostom, and Jerome. These brilliant, embattled, and sometimes eccentric men defined the biblical canon, hammered out the Creed, and gave us our understanding of sacraments and salvation. It is they who preserved the rich legacy of the early Church for us. Critic Reviews: "Dr. D'Ambrosio has accomplished the rare feat of combining scholarship with readability. Christians of all traditions can trace their faith to these pioneers; their story is our story."--Right Honourable David Baron Alton, M.P. and Liverpool University professor "Gripping, compelling, and fast-moving." Sarah Reinhard, blogger, SnoringScholar.com Members Reviews: Masterful summary of the early Church Fathers Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Absolutely. I have read other books on the early Church and the Church Fathers, but this book brings both to life. Each Father has an intriguing and compelling story that is told in a conversationalist manner so as to leap off the page. What does Marcellino D'Ambrosio bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Dr. D'Ambrosio is a skilled orator. Hearing a passionate author speak in his own words is a great experience. Any additional comments? This book does an outstanding job explaining heresys within the early Church such as Gnosticism and Aryanism and shows how each was debunked and defeated and by whom. We present day Christians take difficult topics like the Trinity for granted. This book is a reminder of how it wasnt always so and how Christian thought solidified through apostolic Tradition. Perhaps most importantly, this book reminds us that early Christians were willing to die for their faith. How many present day Christians are ready to do the same? In those days it was expected and embraced. The pithy recap of the apostolic Traditions points of convergence in Chapter 26 is brilliant and concise. The early Church Fathers would be outraged to see the many divisions within present-day Christianity. Their words and, in many ways, this book is a call for unity. Thank you, Dr. DAmbrosio for writing and compiling it. One of the best I had a bias. I had listened to this writer give a past talk that I didn't much care for, and so I didn't think his book would be much better frankly. I was wrong. This is one of the most readable and important books on the subject precisely because it is so accessible. Well researched and a fantastic resource. Fascinating read. Epic What did you love best about When the Church Was Young? It was great to see ordinary human beings struggling to understand the messages of Jesus - and to make sense of it in the light of the things they had always believed.

Title: If Subtitle: Trading Your If Only Regrets for God's What If Possibilities Author: Mark Batterson Narrator: Mark Batterson Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 48 mins Language: English Release date: 10-02-15 Publisher: Baker Publishing Group Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 202 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: If is a powerful little word. Some people are stuck in "if only", trudging through lives marked with regret. But God wants us to live lives marked with possibilities, with the "what if" attitude that looks forward to the future with confidence. Why? Because the answer to "if God is for us, who can be against us?" is "no one." God is always on our side. Every day in every way. With his trademark enthusiasm and contagious joy, Mark Batterson helps listeners overcome feelings of guilt, fear, and doubt because in Christ there is no condemnation. Unpacking the promises of Romans 8, he shows listeners that they are more than conquerors - right now and forever. And because of that, the possibilities for their lives are limitless. Christians from all walks of life will find themselves set free by this inspiring and entertaining listen. Members Reviews: Inspiring I had the privilege of going to Marks church right after this book was released his sermons so effortlessly intermingle with the message in the book Everyone needs to get this book Awesome book and bible study, great stories! The Gospel is clearly spelled out in the first four verses of Romans 8. The question is will we walk with the spirit long enough to develop the fruits? More than a conqueror... Batterson says it well and is a shining example of what It means to live as more than a conqueror. This book, along with the other 2 books of his Ive read so far, are inspiring and encouraging, full of passion and depth of insight. He has quickly become one of my favorite Christian authors, if not my favorite, and his stories both fascinate and prompt me to get more involved in the world around me as well as seek Gods best for me. Can not recommend his books more highly- LOVE them! I will also add that this particular book did a great job of helping me to focus more on the bigger picture and the eternal, rather than my limited view of the situations in my life. There is so much we cannot see or know or factor in, but God can, and not only is He good all the time, but He knows what hes doing! If ONLY...trap! What if...Oh, the possibilities! Loved the application of the "Great 8" throughout. A truly inspirational message to help one embrace their humanity, and reach for their potential. life changing I 'm dumbfounded. So much valuable information for a follower of Jesus that I couldn't stop listening to it. I'm listening to it again once I finish this review.

Title: Breaking Free Subtitle: Discover the Victory of Total Surrender Author: Beth Moore Narrator: Susan Denaker Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 11 mins Language: English Release date: 01-05-12 Publisher: christianaudio.com Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 114 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Do you want to know God and really believe Him? Do you want to find satisfaction in God, experience His peace, and enjoy His presence? Do you want to make the freedom Christ promised a reality in your daily life? In Breaking Free, Beth Moore embarks on a study of selected passages from the book of Isaiah, drawing several parallels between the captive Israelites and today's Christians, in order to show how to make freedom in Christ a daily reality. Moore teaches listeners to remove obstacles that hinder freedom by identifying spiritual barriers in their lives and overcoming them through the truth of God's Word - truth that will set us free. Members Reviews: Great book, terrible reader Where does Breaking Free rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? The last. I would return it if possible What did you like best about this story? I'm a Beth Moore fan and have completed the James and Esther Bible Studies. That said, the book is great. The reader was horrible, Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Susan Denaker? Anyone. I hope this was a volunteer effort. I would return this audiobook if possible. I've repeatedly tried listening to it. Its absolutely terrible. If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be? Breaking Free from the snares of the world Any additional comments? Seriously, buy the book. This is horrible reading. Don't believe me? Try the sample out. Also disappointed This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? I am so used to Beth Moore's voice that someone with a voice unlike herE's is very difficult to listen to. The speaker had no life in her voice, very monotoned. I couldn't finish the book, sorry. What other book might you compare Breaking Free to and why? The material is great and I love anything by Beth Moore. How did the narrator detract from the book? It was monotone and awful. What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? I couldn't finish it because the speakers voice was too contrary to what i hear listening to Beth herself. Any additional comments? Change readers then I'll try the book again. Disappointed Listen Is there anything you would change about this book? The speaker was not what I expected from a Beth Moore book. Beth is lively and exuberant. I found the speaker boring. I could not get through it all because I tended to doze off. The material is good, it's just not a good listen. How did the narrator detract from the book? Not lively enough If this book were a movie would you go see it? Does not apply. Any additional comments? I will eventually listen thru this, but not now. For now I am putting it away. Wow. Currently struggling with depression. I know it is somehow tied to my past. Beth Moore provides incredible hope and specific instruction. Terrible narration What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? I was excited to listen to another Beth Moore book. The narration was so bad that I could not even get past the first 30 minutes of the book. How did the narrator detract from the book? The narrator was very dull sounding, no enthusiasm for the material she was reading. What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? disappointment

The Book of Revelation: Volume 1 Audiobook by Chuck Missler

Title: The Book of Revelation: Volume 1 Author: Chuck Missler Narrator: Chuck Missler Format: Unabridged Length: 14 hrs and 2 mins Language: English Release date: 03-15-17 Publisher: Author's Republic Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 53 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: The Book of Revelation is the only book of the Bible with a promise to the reader! Why? What makes this book so special? Revelation is a lens that puts the entire Bible into focus. The lens is focused on the person of Jesus Christ, and his destiny is imminent. This is a book of victory. We are overcomers! We are the ultimate winners in the game of life! (I interpret the ending: we win!) One of the reasons this book strikes us as strange is because of our lack of understanding concerning the Old Testament. The Book of Revelation consists of 404 verses that contain over 800 allusions to the Old Testament. These are detailed, along with Chuck's analysis of the design and structure of this fascinating book. Learn about the past, present and future of the Church and our ultimate destiny. This is an ideal first study and foundational for every Christian. Members Reviews: Eschatology Excellent study, and spot on with theology of end times and prophecies concerning the second coming of Christ. Great teaching Geeat teaching for the body of Christ. this helps Christians to understand more a bought the 7 churches and their history and their importance and their importance of what Jesus is looking for from the body of Christ. the day of the lord is at hand Dr. Missiler read like a military seminar. He likes numbers in the Bible. he focuses on Rev 2-3 the letters to the seven churches in ancient Turkey

The Sacrament of Happy Audiobook by Lisa Harper

Title: The Sacrament of Happy Subtitle: What a Smiling God Brings to a Wounded World Author: Lisa Harper Narrator: Lisa Harper Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 50 mins Language: English Release date: 05-20-17 Publisher: christianaudio.com Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 59 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Imagine hearing your physician tell you that chips and queso contain more nutritional benefits than kale and quinoa. Or opening an envelope that looks like just another bill, and unfolding instead an official document declaring you the sole beneficiary of an anonymous billionaire's estate. In her new book, The Sacrament of Happy, Lisa Harper unveils a similarly extravagant, unexpected surprise, declaring that happiness - just plain feeling happy - is a gift from God that you can unashamedly enjoy. Wearing the twin hats of seminarian and belly-laughing adoptive mom, Harper delivers a warm, vignette style built upon solid theological scaffolding. She observes, for example, that God's choice of wording for the first verse of the first psalm (a word often translated as "blessed") literally means happy - one of many biblical reasons for dismantling the old-school idea that joy, not happiness, is the truly spiritual one of the Christian family. In truth, they're more like fraternal twins than distant cousins, meaning we as Christ-followers are not called to jettison happiness - like a no-longer-needed set of spiritual floaties - as we learn to swim in the deep waters of intimacy with God. Beyond merely a circumstances-based, up-and-down emotion, happiness comes from a deep conviction in the unmitigated goodness of our Creator-Redeemer, freeing us to feel and express genuine joy, fulfillment, and contentment, regardless of personal or global tumult. The author's personal story includes such happiness killers as sexual abuse, the deaths of near loved ones, a heartbreaking failed adoption, followed by the arrival of an adopted daughter from Haiti who is HIV-positive. Yet she writes on themes like: So this is obviously not a book of trite, untested clichés. It goes well beneath most people's surface understanding of happiness, gently guiding listeners closer to the heart of God...with naturally a few genuine laughs and grins to enjoy along the way. Members Reviews: The Happy Girl Lisa Harper is a joy even though I've never met her. However, I must confess I didn't even know who she was prior to a few months ago when I was totally immersed in a Bible study she had written. If there is anyone who one would want to hear, learn, or read about happiness from, it's someone who seems to exude said topic! I would encourage anyone to not only read this book, but listen to the Audible version. To hear it in her voice and to laugh alongside (out loud) Lisa's imagery, hilarious stories, and jaw dropping lines from people she has encountered in her life, is a push in the direction of the pursuit of "happy". She brings great wisdom and touching personal experience to the reader that truly helps one remember that there is such hope to be found even in the midst of the darkest, deepest struggles of life. I am so thankful for reading this book. Simply a blessing! I am sure I will be listening to this book if you more times at least. And I will be getting the hard copy as well! Very well written and the narration by Lisa herself makes it even better! To have a whole new look on what happy means is exactly what I need in this book has helped to start that process in my heart.

Renovation of the Heart Audiobook by Dallas Willard

Title: Renovation of the Heart Subtitle: Putting on the Character of Christ Author: Dallas Willard Narrator: Dallas Willard Format: Unabridged Length: 13 hrs and 7 mins Language: English Release date: 01-15-09 Publisher: christianaudio.com Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 216 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: It is evident in the rising rate of divorces among Christian couples. We find it in the high percentages of Christians, even pastors, who regularly view pornography. And we face it each time a well-known leader in the Christian community is found in sexual sin or handling finances dishonestly. Perhaps you have struggled with your own character issues for years, even decades, to little avail. That's good news. You can experience significant growth in your Christian walk, shed sinful habits, and increasing take on the character of Christ. In Renovation of the Heart, best-selling author Dallas Willard calls it "the transformation of the spirit"- a divine process that "brings every element in our being, working from inside out, into harmony with the will of God or the kingdom of God." In the transformation of our spirits, we become apprentices of Jesus Christ. Members Reviews: Heart-Changing Dense material that was well-worth the listen. I have a friend that is reading the book, and the Audible format was comparitively easy to understand. Dallas Willard is a deep thinker, and has reasoned through his presentation with conviction and straightforward talk with no apologies. Content -'A', Delivery -'D'...A Pity I am a fan of Dallas Willard and have read or listened to most of what he has written. That's why this book was so disappointing. His content, as usual, was erudite and enriching, but I could hardly finish the book. I had to fight continually to concentrate on the content since, my brain was continually wandering from lack of auditory stimulation. Willard chose to narrate this book himself...a bad choice. His voice is slow, dull and completely lacking in vocal dynamics which are so important in keeping a listener's attention. Just because you can make good sense out of the text, does not mean you can engage a listener's ear and hold it. To achieve that is an art which too many authors of audio books refuse to recognize. I will never buy another of his books if he is the narrator. Dallas Willard by Dallas Willard 100% Would you listen to Renovation of the Heart again? Why? Yes. I have listened to it several times now - more than six at least. And 'Yes' my first impression is changed. Once I got into the 'Heart' of Renovation of the Heart, it's hard to walk away from a heart worth renovating. Who was your favorite character and why? The one who gave this book a single start and then got sold out on it with not enough stars to give it. Which scene was your favorite? where the reader thinks this book is not for them only to find that the end up with not just the book, the 'daily practice', the audio (synchronised on all media devices), AND the ten audio CD disk set for the car - wait there is more - the head phones also ! Thank you Dallas Willard - for both - the book and the audio. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? It's packed with renovation in every nook and cranny - any one looking for spit and polish? expect to get more out of this deep and meaningful 'experiment in spiritual transformation'. Any additional comments? I apologise for my first feedback - it was untaught. I know better now. Thank you Dallas Willard. Please continue to produce audio versions of ALL your books.

I am recommending to everyone!! this is especially helpful for those new to the faith. Not the entire book The reading is great done by the orginal author's son. The major problem with this is it is only parts of whole book. I got this with the intention of following along in my book. There are a lot of good missing details and some misread words. If I had no intention of having a physical or digital copy of this book it would be fine, but it is differwnt from the actual book itself. awesome once again, this was an awesome book. I highly recommend it to everyone. believer or non-beleiver Pretty good Great, convincing yet simple book on apologetics. I feel like the narrator is too young and Millennial sounding, which makes the reading lack gravity. Inspirational Loved how Josh McDowell brought his book "Evidence That Demands a Verdict" into this condensed format. Something I will read again and again to better equip myself to answer questions about the validity of Christ, His life and resurrection.

Restore Your Joy. Author: Jentezen Franklin Narrator: Kirby Heyborne Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 45 mins Language: English Release date: 11-28-11 Publisher: christianaudio.com Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 76 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: There is nothing more powerful than fasting. Though it lasts for a short season, it brings long-term effects and blessings. This book is focused on the power of fasting to help you regain your edge when the circumstances of life deplete your spiritual energy and dull your spiritual sharpness. Best-selling author Jentezen Franklin sets the focus for the book by using the story of the student prophet in 2 Kings 6 who lost his ax head while working. The ax head flew off the ax and landed in a dirty, murky pond and sank to the bottom. Through this biblical example, Franklin will give us the steps to regaining our edge, which include: 1. Make up your mind to admit it is lost. 2. Confess that you have lost it. 3. Confide your loss to someone in a spiritual position to help. 4. Go the river (point of losing it). 5. Watch the power of God make your lost edge swim to the top of the murky river. 6. Pick up the ax and put it back on the ax pole (our part in regaining our edge; God will not do it all). Members Reviews: Excellent and inspiring Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? I would recommend this book as it is inspiring for Christians to fast and pray. What was one of the most memorable moments of The Fasting Edge? I was amazed to hear that fasting can include eating fruit and vegetables and not just drinking water. What does Kirby Heyborne bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? the book is read and to me, it sounds just like Jenzen Franklin and I can picture him reading the book to me with honesty and from the heart. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? The miracles that occured because of the fasting Any additional comments? Inspiring TEENAGER Baptized Tried it, it worked. Powerfully. Hard headed teen was baptized in 6 days amongst other blessings. still trying to coax my hair out of that blown back shape. The Fasting Edge Very encouraging book and I would recommend for every church leader. God is raising a remnant of men and women who are wanting to keep the passion for Christ burning. Thank you Pastor Franklin I'm inspired! Keep writing. Food for the Spirit Awesome must read for every Christian I will reread until I can say I'm overflowing every day. This is a great tune up older Christians! I love how Jentezen illustrate a truth we know about and moves us to the avenue for spiritual maturity. We are all looking for the things, the formula, and some the teaching to put us on track of destiny. It is right here. . Fasting! The Lord prove this during the four days hearing this book and fasting.

From the design of the iPod to the uncluttered Google homepage, simple ideas are changing the world. Simple Church clearly calls for Christians to return to the simple gospel-sharing methods of Jesus. No bells or whistles required, so to speak. Based on case studies of 400 American churches, authors Thom Rainer and Eric Geiger prove that the process for making disciples has quite often become too complex. Simple churches are thriving, and they are doing so by taking these four ideas to heart: Clarity. Movement. Alignment. Focus. Each idea is examined here, simply showing why it is time to simplify. Members Reviews: Repetitive Simple. Simple. Simple. Great concept and characterization of most churches, but for how simple the concept is, they could have communicated it in much fewer words.

Very educational and inspiring. love the step by step structure of it. simple language. recharging and refreshing and full of hope. keep it simple good read.... really speaks to today not easy but simple... what should you take off you daily, weekly, monthly schedule

Title: Heaven Is for Real Subtitle: A Little Boy's Astounding Story of His Trip to Heaven and Back Author: Lynn Vincent, Todd Burpo Narrator: Stu Gray Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 6 mins Language: English Release date: 04-05-17 Publisher: Thomas Nelson Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 37 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Number one New York Times best seller with more than 11 million copies sold and Amazon's #17 best-selling book of all time. Heaven Is for Real was the best-selling nonfiction book of 2011 as reported by Nielsen's Bookscan, and it was made in to a major motion picture by Sony in 2014. "Do you remember the hospital, Colton?" Sonja said. "Yes, mommy, I remember," he said. "That's where the angels sang to me." When Colton Burpo made it through an emergency appendectomy, his family was overjoyed at his miraculous survival. What they weren't expecting, though, was the story that emerged in the months that followed - a story as beautiful as it was extraordinary, detailing their little boy's trip to heaven and back. Colton, not yet four years old, told his parents he left his body during the surgery - and authenticated that claim by describing exactly what his parents were doing in another part of the hospital while he was being operated on. He talked of visiting heaven and relayed stories told to him by people he met there whom he had never met in life, sharing events that happened even before he was born. He also astonished his parents with descriptions and obscure details about heaven that matched the Bible exactly, though he had not yet learned to read. With disarming innocence and the plainspoken boldness of a child, Colton tells of meeting long-departed family members. He describes Jesus, the angels, how "really, really big" God is, and how much God loves us. Retold by his father, but using Colton's uniquely simple words, Heaven Is for Real offers a glimpse of the world that awaits us, where, as Colton says, "Nobody is old and nobody wears glasses." Heaven Is for Real will forever change the way you think of eternity, offering the chance to see and believe like a child. Continue the Burpos' story in Heaven Changes Everything: The Rest of Our Story. Heaven Is for Real also is available in Spanish, El cielo es real. This audiobook recording of Heaven Is for Real includes additional bonus content including updates from father Todd and son Colton on recent events including the making-of-the-movie experience and "from the set" Q&A's with the movie's filmmakers and actors. Critic Reviews: "A beautifully written glimpse into heaven that will encourage those who doubt and thrill those who believe." (Ron Hall, coauthor of Same Kind of Different as Me) Members Reviews: Giving believers more inspiration I think often times we as believers don't give the words of Christ enough thought. Or perhaps we over think what we read in the Bible. Colton kept everything simple and easy to understand. It's heartwarming to hear how this child's testimony touched others across the globe. Most importantly how his story exposed others to Jesus Christ. Sometimes we feel that "our" story isn't that big of a deal, or lacks significance. But as the Bible states, we can do all things through Christ Jesus. And since God brings us through our trials and tribulations which helps brings us closer to God Almighty, it also shows how important God thinks we all are. After all, He created all of us. Glad this child was shown Heaven and got to spend a special time with God and Jesus.

Gospel Fluency Audiobook by Jeff Vanderstelt

Title: Gospel Fluency Subtitle: Speaking the Truths of Jesus into the Everyday Stuff of Life Author: Jeff Vanderstelt Narrator: Jeff Vanderstelt Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 36 mins Language: English Release date: 02-28-17 Publisher: christianaudio.com Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 92 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: At the core of Christianity is belief in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. But how should the Gospel affect our lives after we believe? And how can we speak Gospel truths into everyday issues of life? In this book, experienced pastor and speaker Jeff Vanderstelt shows how all people - Christians and non-Christians alike - need to hear the Gospel on a regular basis. Teaching believers what it looks like to become truly "fluent" in the Gospel so that it becomes a natural part of our everyday conversations, Vanderstelt shows how the good news of Jesus is our only hope for every aspect of our lives. Members Reviews: Best training on sharing the Good News Gospel fluency is the lost key for evangelism in the church today. Christians give people lots of advice and kind acts, but we don't give people Jesus, who is the love and power of God for salvation and sanctification. Gospel fluency shows us how to incorporate the Good News of Jesus into the everyday stuff of life. Applicable, accurate, and challenging Using scripture throughout, the author outlines, albeit slowly, the idea of gospel fluency. The real life examples are the most compelling, and I found myself in tears more than once as I felt the truth in what I heard. Test for yourself, pray for truth and wisdom, and see what you take away. A Must Read! Gospel Fluency is a must read for every believer! Jesus redeemed us, but he also wants to sanctify us. Sanctification happens as we become fluent in the truths of the gospel. We become fluent in the truths of the gospel by the power of the Holy Spirit and by immersing ourselves in gospel centered community. This book will be a great introduction and help for those that do not yet have it. It will also be a great encouragement for those of us that do. Gospel Fluency class is now in session! Great book for any believer seeking to grow for any believer wants to live out the Christian life better and help others based on the truth of scripture this is a great book. Everyone in your church should read. This is a great companion to Saturate. I highly recommend. Saturate is captivating with its stories, while this is convicting with it's great analogies. Read them both. I am thinking about and talking about Jesus more and more now.

Title: My Time with God Subtitle: Renewed in His Presence Daily Author: Joyce Meyer Narrator: Jodi Carlisle Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 14 mins Language: English Release date: 10-10-17 Publisher: Hachette Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Over the course of three years, Joyce Meyer recorded in her journal the personal devotions and inspirations that guided her busy life. Those writings comprise My Time with God, the 365-day devotional that shares powerful insight into Joyce's spiritual reflections and journey. Each daily entry guides listeners through a narrative of meditations, an uplifting declaration, and relevant Scripture to encourage greater intimacy with God. Including spiritual revelations experienced by one of the world's leading Bible teachers, this book will renew listeners' minds, offering assurance of God's complete love and desire for closeness with them. Members Reviews: Deepen Your Walk with God! Increase Your Intimacy with God, and be Renewed in His Presence! Deepen Your Walk with God! Increase Your Intimacy with God, and be Renewed in His Presence! I just love this devotional. It's wonderful to wake up to this book. Waking up, thanking God for all His blessings, praying, being recharged, spending time with God in our quiet time, and just rest at His feet every morning reminds us all that God has done for us, the love that God has shown us through Jesus's sacrifice on the cross, and the privilege of knowing him and having a close relationship with Him!, the creator of the universe. Joyce really goes deep in this devotional. These entries are from the important lessons she has learned over the last 3 years of her close walk with God, that she thinks will help us the readers. Its entries are short enough as with the nature of devotionals are but this ones goes a little deeper as this devotions is over 500 pages. I like that! It allows me to always able to have devotional time daily even in the busyness and overloaded schedules of work and family, but not to just tread the surface, but dig a little deeper into scripture even through this life's demands! This devotional also is also a springboard to deeper study if time is available to further study the scripture that is taught each day. In addition, there are nicely written prayers each day in the devotional. These are short prayers and helpful when we are pressed for time and many of us are! Of course this devotional is only a start and a wonderful tool for our busy lives. As we make more time to spend time with God, we can dig deeper into the scriptures and really be still in the secret place in intimate private prayer, and just rest in him. I pray that we all grow in our intimacy with our Father who loves us!. May God continue to give us the Spirit of revelation and wisdom. Give us a strong thirst for you, for the living water that will quench our thirst. May we come to You daily, all of us who are weary and heavy laden and just rest at Your feet, Jesus, in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen. Great choice! I had one of her devional years ago, so when I saw this one I thought it would be agood choice to up date.. who stated she enjoyed it. Good price and fast service Bought for my wife, who stated she enjoyed it. Good price and fast service. Powerful! Terrific devotional for a Christian. I love it and Joyce Meyer! Great Gift Was a gift for my wife who really likes it.

New Seeds of Contemplation Audiobook by Thomas Merton

Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/612/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: New Seeds of Contemplation Author: Thomas Merton Narrator: Sharon Cross, Jonathan Montaldo Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 58 mins Language: English Release date: 10-08-14 Publisher: Franciscan Media Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 228 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: New Seeds of Comtemplation is one of Thomas Merton's most widely read and best loved books. Christians and non-Christians alike have joined in praising it as a notable successor in the meditative tradition of St. John of the Cross, the Cloud of Unknowing, and the medieval mystics, while others have compared Merton's reflections to those of Thoreau. New Seeds of Contemplation seeks to awaken the dormant inner depths of the spirit so long neglected by Western culture, to nurture a deeply contemplative and mystical dimension in our lives. Members Reviews: Pure holy inspiration!!! Work of spiritual art coupled with superb performance which lifts the soul to find true self in God's silence and his word made flesh. Sometimes one feels it is not Merton speaking but God revealed. Read and listened twice and could do several times more with great joy. Call to awake beyond "believing" or getting better No summary is possible. Challenge upon clarifying challenge to our ego based holiness strategies to awaken from separateness and unworthiness. Need to listen beyond the Catholicism. Only helpful after a life of chasing answers and prizes is seen as empty. And you've lost interest in Lucy's invitation to try to kick the football again. "You're really close..." "try harder this time". Fits like a glove with Wilber's identification of "the Great Search" as mans compulsive ego reaction strategy to our program of "something is wrong I must try to fix it/me..." Started "in The Garden" Potent Book: The re-read for a lifetime I wish I bought this book hardcopy so I could mark it up, pause and meditate on its words in private, etc.. That said, this book absorbed me. Thomas Merton truly puts things on their head and challenges your beliefs about what it means to truly do God's will. New Seeds of Contemplation I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn what contemplative prayer is and what it isn't. Reflective Thomas Merton invites the reader to slow down and listen to a a God who is close by. This book requires a second listen!!

Saint Bernard of Clairvaux stated this holy paradox in a musical four-line poem. Come near to the holy men and women of the past and you will soon feel the heat of their desire after God. Let A. W. Tozer's pursuit of God spur you also into a genuine hunger and thirst to truly know God. Members Reviews: For the highly intellect! Good stuff.... but a lot over my head. Speaks in KJV style. Im more of a NIV girl. Most Excellent Teaching, unfortunately missing at this time. A must read and meat for meditation, prayer and life in Christ. Vocabulary is too deep Vocabulary wise, its too hard to listen to. Might be better reading it instead. Great message thou Life Changing book beside the Bible One of the most Life Changing book beside the Holy Bible a must read. real talk Our relationship with God In America we have a very shallow relationship with the living God, or at least I did. We accept Christ, go to a few Bible Studies, attend church and think we have it nailed. Then you read this and see how much more is available and needs to be pursued.

Critic Reviews: "This is a tremendous book for the committed Christian seeker." ( Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Excellent comprehensive overview If you could sum up Anatomy of the Soul in three words, what would they be? This book Unites many aspects of life from faith and sirituality to neuroscience I never ever thought I would see this done...ever. And it is perfect,...could not be better. What was one of the most memorable moments of Anatomy of the Soul? Unification of psychology especially Dr Daniel Seigle whose books on mindfulness are well embraced by many communities. To see this incorporated in a faith based book gives me true hope for the needed synthesis between science and our spiritual life as a christian Bravo! What about Sean Pratts performance did you like? I love Sean Pratt's work I feel like he is an old friend ,,,and was convinced to buy this book because he narrated it. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? The entire book is truly noteworthy. Any additional comments? This is a unique book. A sign that there is hope that brain science and one's faith and spiritual life are one unity. Definetly a must read! Definetly a must read! And "act upon" book, which is a lot rarer to find, it leaves you with more after than just "oh what a good book" it leaves you with hope and hopefully intent for more, and by more I mean in a sense -that is still new to me as well- but a life more meaningful and more "known" Amazing And Informative This gave me insight on how to change my paradigm. I must say I was suprised. I thought it was all science but it incorporated the scriptures and took me to another level. Brilliant! I feel like I've had a much needed session. Everything I never knew I've always wanted. I can't wait to read it again. Thankyou once again! Standing Ovation no more need be said, bit the review required me to type fifteen words, done. Great insight Very good book but technical and a bit hard to grasp some concepts if you are not in the medical field.

Title: Think and Eat Yourself Smart Subtitle: A Neuroscientific Approach to a Sharper Mind and Healthier Life Author: Dr. Caroline Leaf Narrator: Teri Clark Linden Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 41 mins Language: English Release date: 03-29-16 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 128 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Science is beginning to understand that our thinking has a deep and complicated relationship with our eating. Our thoughts before, during, and after eating profoundly impact our food choices, our digestive health, our brain health, and more. Yet most of us give very little thought to our food beyond taste and basic nutritional content. In this revolutionary book, Dr. Caroline Leaf packs an incredible amount of information that will change listeners' eating and thinking habits for the better. Rather than getting caught up in whether we should go raw or vegan, gluten-free or paleo, Leaf shows listeners that every individual is unique, has unique nutritional needs, and has the power to impact their own health through the right thinking. There's no one perfect solution. Rather, she shows us how to change the way we think about food and put ourselves on the path towards health. Anyone who is tired of traditional diet plans that don't work, who struggles with emotional eating, or who simply isn't satisfied with their level of health will find in this book the key to discovering how they can begin developing a healthier body, brain, and spirit. Members Reviews: Terrific book!!! I have listened to a lot of books about health, sustainable living, modern disease, etc. and this is one of my favorites. The author did a phenomenal job presenting all the major issues of today's modern society with regard to food, obesity, CAFOs, big pharma, disease and the medical institution. I will definitely listen to again, because there is so much info packed into this book. She really did her homework. Best of all, I love, love, love that it's from a Christian perspective. I wish she would have chosen a Christian narrator, though. Throughout the book the narrator kept saying "...Theologians chapter ___" instead of Thessalonians. It was a bit disconcerting, and I'm surprised no proofers caught it. But it didn't at all take away from the very well-written book. Essential for anyone interested in improving their health!! Highly recommend! Life changing book Think & Eat Yourself Smart is a life-changing book. If you are not prepared to make some changes then don't read it! However if you are interested in a book that will alter your scientific, spiritual and emotional outlook on what you put in your body this is a MUST READ! I honestly have never been a super reader but this book was so interesting I was able to fly through and highlighted so many things throughout! Check it out grab your copy today! Dr. Caroline Leaf #ThinkEatSmart good book ~ recommend Any additional comments? I would have liked the passages read instead of just rattling off the references ~ we're listening to audio here ~ I felt like I missed out on a third of the book Think and Eat Yourself Smart Love audiobook. Very lengthy and long but a lot of good information. Need to here it again and again to grasp all the information about the do's and don'ts. l will need to renew my mind in order to chang what l am doing. To make and eat yourself smart , but overall great audiobook. This book really changed the way I think! The way you think before you eat is do important to manage a healthy lifestyle. this is a must read.

Strange Fire Audiobook by John MacArthur

Title: Strange Fire Subtitle: The Danger of Offending the Holy Spirit with Counterfeit Worship Author: John MacArthur Narrator: Maurice England Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 12 mins Language: English Release date: 11-12-13 Publisher: Thomas Nelson Publishers Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 230 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: What would God say about those who blatantly misrepresent His Holy Spirit; who exchange true worship for chaotic fits of mindless ecstasy; who replace the biblical gospel with vain illusions of health and wealth; who claim to prophesy in His name yet speak errors; and who sell false hope to desperate people for millions of dollars? The charismatic movement has always been a breeding-ground for scandal, greed, bad doctrine, and all kinds of spiritual chicanery. As a movement, it is clearly headed the wrong direction. And it is growing at an unprecedented rate. From the Word of Faith to the New Apostolic Reformation, the Charismatic movement is being consumed by the empty promises of the prosperity gospel. Too many charismatic celebrities promote a Christianity without Christ, a Holy Spirit without holiness. And their teaching is having a disastrous influence on a grand scale, as large television networks broadcast their heresies to every part of the world. In Strange Fire, best-selling author and pastor John MacArthur chronicles the unsavory history behind the modern Charismatic movement. He lays out a chilling case for rejecting its false prophets, speaking out against their errors, showing true reverence to the Holy Spirit, and above all clinging to the Bible as the inerrant, authoritative Word of God and the one true standard by which all truth claims must be tested. Members Reviews: It's informative. I have many friends that have fallen under this devastating deception. I would recommend this book to anyone willing to read it. People need to know how subtly dangerous this deception is. Like the birds in the church it has crept it's way in...deceiving even the elect. I even fell into this deception for a brief time but I asked questions, did my research & God's word lit the way. Always give a reason for the faith that you have. This book contains helpful information about Satan's deception in the church. God's word never fails. God's word never turns up void. This movement discredits many claims in the bible then shrugs it off because of spiritual emotion. It's tragic. Go Deep into Your Understanding of the Spirit What did you love best about Strange Fire? A fresh look at the role of the Holy Spirit and our relationship with Him. What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike? I would have rather had the story told by the author himself. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Only IF i could find the time. Any additional comments? Will have to read it in hard copy to make notes and study the text. Narration is terrible! Buy the e-book or book. Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? No because of the narration. I would recommend they buy the book and just read it. Here's the thing: I bought the book and the audiobook. I knew I would like the book because I watched and downloaded the Strange Fire Conference, hosted at Grace Community Church where John MacArthur (the author of the book) is pastor-teacher, and I both enjoyed the conference messages delivered by all of the speakers (including those two by MacArthur), and because I'm in the camp of Reformed Christian Theology and Calvinism. I also believe in cessationism.

Hearing God Audiobook by Dallas Willard

Title: Hearing God Subtitle: Developing a Conversational Relationship with God Author: Dallas Willard Narrator: Grover Gardner Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 32 mins Language: English Release date: 01-23-09 Publisher: christianaudio.com Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 287 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: The key, says best-selling author Dallas Willard, is to focus not so much on individual actions and decisions as on building our personal relationship with our creator. In this updated classic, originally published as In Search of Guidance, the author provides a rich, spiritual insight into how we can hear God's voice clearly and develop an intimate partnership with Him in the work of His kingdom. Members Reviews: A Classic Finding Gods will is a common desire. Often people can be paralized because they are afraid of not finding Gods will. Hearing God is a classic. This is the third copy of the book I have owned (one given and two purchased) over the years but the first time I am actually reading it. I like that Willard starts by moving the pressure down a notch. He has a good illustration of the fact that no parent wants to tell their children everything that they should do. Parents want to teach their children how to do something, and expect that they will do it. If they are supposed to make their bed in the morning, they should make it every morning. Children complaining that the parent did not tell them this morning to make their bed will only incur the parents wrath. So Willard starts telling us we should listen to what scripture says and do that. Another good point that I have never really thought of, is that we should always read scripture assuming that the people of scripture were much like us. They were not particularly special people, they were sinful, afraid, made bad decisions, etc. If we see them as much like us, then we can assume that we to should be hearing from God and seeking to follow Gods will in relatively similar ways as the biblical characters. Since reading that section, I have been more aware of the large number of Christians that actively resist thinking of biblical characters as like us. I think it shows one area that we have far to go to move Evangelicals into historical Christian Orthodoxy. Overall what I am most impressed by, is the biblical balance that Willard attempts to strike. When you discuss hearing from God there are lots of places to veer into shaky ground. And I know that some are of the opinion that even discussing hearing from God goes too far. But Willard attempts to keep the desire to hear from God, the ways we hear from God, the reality of the power of God, and the limitations of our own understanding. The learning is in the repetition - SIX STARS I came across this book about five years ago and it was a treasure, a feather in my cap, it introduced me to a whole new way to understand how to commune with God. Recently I downloaded the audio and gave it a listen and found it to be even more valuable the second time around. Upon its conclusion, "Audio has hoped you've enjoyed this program...." I restarted the book all over again. A must and most important read for any serious person who wishes to deepen their conversational relationship with the Lord.

Author: Philip Yancey Narrator: Bill Richards Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 17 mins Language: English Release date: 12-16-99 Publisher: Zondervan Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 388 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: The author of 6 Gold Medallion award-winning books challenges Christians to become living answers to a world that desperately wants to know, what's so amazing about grace? Philip Yancey gives the listener a probing and impassioned look at grace: what it looks like - but more importantly, what it doesn't look like. Yancey contends that grace is a concept at the heart of God's plan for salvation, and that it is the responsibility of every Christian to reveal the grace the world is searching for. ©1999 Philip D. Yancey (P)1999 by The Zondervan Corporation; 1997 Garry Black; 1995 Mark Tomalty; 16 9 Critic Reviews: "This is beyond a doubt the very best book I have read from a Christian author in my life." (Dr. Robert A. Seiple, President, World Vision) Members Reviews: A book that sticks with you Nonfictions, particularly one of this length, are difficult to follow in the car. But I'm surprised at how much of "Grace" has stuck with me months after reading it. Yancey is a bit repetitive, which at first I found annoying, but it did make it easier to pick up where I'd left off. The book gives an apolitical look at the meanness that has crept into public Christian discourse but also offers an antidote. Yancey poses a central question: Why do we have so much trouble believing in God's love and infinite forgiveness? He uses well-researched Biblical support to prove that we should. Inspiring First, the small negative: The reader was very slow. I got around this by turning up the speed on my iPod. If I would not have been able to do that, I am not so certain I could have stayed interested. But now to the content. I am very glad I did stay interested. I love the way Yancey teaches us about grace. He uses many stories to make his point. At the same time, it is not as though he is simply stating his opinion and leaving the Bible out of it. He actually gives very good interpretation of and application from parables. He just simply has a masterful way of relating the concepts of grace to real life. I like this book a lot and would recommend it to anyone. It impacted my life personally, as I was able to recognize the un-grace I practiced so readily. Through his stories, he shows us what grace looks like and gives us tangible examples to follow in an area where so few examples are obvious in my daily experience. For the first time, I feel as though I have at least a good idea how to start practicing grace without simply piling on more rules which lead instead to ungrace. Challenged by grace This book gave an interesting viewpoint to what is needed in the Church today. It also challenged my way of thinking of people that don't "measure up". This is a very good book for people that would like to represent Jesus to the world. It's all about Grace "There, but for the grace of God..." Yancey has given us a gift in this book by returning the focus from political issues back to the grace of God and the life-changing power of His freely-given gift. The grace-lessness of today's evangelical church is a symptom of how much the church, especially, needs to recieve and give grace. Life changing - if you dare I haven't finished listening to the book yet, but felt compelled to write a review. Through his clear exegesis of Biblical references and modern day examples, Philip Yancey holds a scary mirror.

Without even knowing it, people willingly inhale second-hand toxins poisoning their relationship with God and stunting their spiritual growth. Soul Detox examines the toxins that assault us daily, including toxic influences, toxic emotions, and toxic behaviors. By examining the toxins that assault us daily, this book offers the ultimate spiritual intervention, with ways to remain clean, pure, and focused on the standard of Gods holiness. Members Reviews: Simple Truth Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Craig, does a great job, by taking a complex subject and with care and decrement points the ways to help a christian come to realization of what we are doing that corrupts our relationship with christ What was one of the most memorable moments of Soul Detox? just a little dog poop.....the concept that a little bad stuff in brownies spoils the entire brownie batch What does Craig Groeschel bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? His passion for others Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? YUP, but had to get some work done too Any additional comments? If you are wondering why you are feeling neglected by God, this is a great book for you. It reminds you that, God never forsakes you. You just tune God out. Amazing! What a amazing book! His book it's for those people that wants to do and start a new life clean and free from guilt, frustration, stress, anger, depression etc it just covers it all. A worth while read for any Christian This book take an honest look at the affect the world and culture around us plays on our lives and walk with God. It encourages you, the reader, to assess your own life by giving you a healthy framework to think and pray through. It does not give you a list do's and don'ts. My only negative point is I think Craig does a better job speaking live than he does reading a book. However, it isn't distracting and the content is worth the read. great listen on the go What made the experience of listening to Soul Detox the most enjoyable? Pastor Groechel has taught my church before. I enjoyed the fact that I was listening to someone I felt as if I knew them already. He uses practical examples to help you relate to his message. I laughed a bit. What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!) When the pastor gets to the meat of his message, I had Aha! Moments. Great message overall. Although I was expecting from the title for the book to be a calculation of some preachey formula to do a,b, and you'll get c;,I was pleasently surprised this wasn't the case for this book. Have you listened to any of Craig Groeschels other performances before? How does this one compare? Yes! It exceeded my expectations. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? All of the content. There are.times that i needed to repent of some things the holy spirit made me aware of. Any additional comments? Great listen! Enlightening Great book with applicable wisdom told in an interesting way. A fun read for the maturing Christian.

Dark Night of the Soul Audiobook by St. John of the Cross

Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/612/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Dark Night of the Soul Author: St. John of the Cross Narrator: Michael Kramer Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 28 mins Language: English Release date: 12-30-08 Publisher: christianaudio.com Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 194 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Spiritual persons suffer great trials - by reason - of the fear which they have of being lost on the road, thinking that all spiritual blessing is over for them and that God has abandoned them since they find no help or pleasure in good things. Then they grow weary, and endeavor to concentrate their faculties with some degree of pleasure upon some object of meditation, thinking that, when they are not doing this and yet are conscious of making an effort, they are doing nothing. Perhaps one of the most widely recognized of the mystical writings, St. John's classic Dark Night of the Soul is not only practical theology but a beautiful balm of healing to anyone whose heart has ever echoed the words of Christ, "My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken me?" Members Reviews: Guide for Mystical Live Would you listen to Dark Night of the Soul again? Why? This book has been my companion for many years, the aduio book now travels with me in the car. Who was your favorite character and why? The only characters in this book are God and your soul. What does Michael Kramer bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? He brings a true understanding of the nature of St. John of the Cross, who can be very hard to read. Mr. Kramer's narration helps the listener to grasp the complex subject without any rush and torrent of words. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? No, for this is a book that must be taken in slowly and thought about. Rain for the Thirsty Soul This book has meant more to me than almost anything I've ever "needed" to read. His depth of understanding of the spiritual path of a contemplative disciple of Christ is spot on with my experience and also my painful/joyful journey. When nothing else made sense in my own "dark night", St. John of the Cross spoke to me in the terrible silence of feeling forsaken by God. He is certainly worthy of the title saint, as only a deep lover of God could teach from this depth of knowledge and understanding of the ways of God. I thank God for this saint and this book! Well Done Well read, no embellishments or inflection. Recommended for anyone who desires to come closer to God. Care and Feeding of Your Immortal Soul Would you listen to Dark Night of the Soul again? Why? Yes. The "understanding" of this esoteric and transcendent work is limitless. What was one of the most memorable moments of Dark Night of the Soul? Comparing the Love God gives to the developing Soul to the love a mother gives to its newborn baby. What three words best describe Michael Kramers performance? Reverent. Clear. Restrained. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? No. Any additional comments? No. Dark Night of The Soul I gave this book all five stars across all categories. It is a great guide to help one learn about the state of one's soul . Well read by the reader, I recommend this book to everyone.

The Everlasting Man Audiobook by G. K. Chesterton

Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/612/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Everlasting Man Author: G. K. Chesterton Narrator: Derek Perkins Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 39 mins Language: English Release date: 10-23-15 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 63 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Highly influential in C. S. Lewis' conversion from atheism to Christianity, The Everlasting Man continues to inspire new generations of readers and listeners. Considered by many to be Chesterton's greatest masterpiece, this audiobook declares his comprehensive view of world history as informed by the Incarnation. Retelling mankind's story from the very beginning, he shows how all human desires are fulfilled in the person of Christ and Christ's church. With his characteristic brilliance and irony, he argues that Christianity is not just a religion to stand beside other religions, for the fact of the Incarnation sets it apart. One of the most original and controversial theological works ever written, The Everlasting Man offers a commanding perspective of world history and aims to restore our sense of wonder in the universe, our god, and ourselves. Members Reviews: Excellently Narrated Would you consider the audio edition of The Everlasting Man to be better than the print version? No, not better, but a wonderful companion to it. The narrator is a joy to listen to. By far the best Audible version of this masterpiece. Who was your favorite character and why? This is non-fiction, but obviously the author himself. What about Derek Perkinss performance did you like? Everything. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Yes, yes, yes, cry for joy, and because I really wished I had read this book earlier in life. Would have wasted a lot less time. Any additional comments? I'm glad Audible fixed the problem on this page which made it impossible to add this book to my cart. Hope the glitch is fixed for good, as this rendition is EXCELLENT. condensed, practical, but exhaustive Chesterton fills a Christian (myself) not adequately, but abundantly on the vital points of history as pertaining to the rise of Christendom while demonstrating the fallacies many of us are taught (by rationalists he calls them), and explains the nature of the youth of the church through struggles a protestant does not hear about. this is ammunition. Brilliant Brilliant author and arguments. needs to be listened to more than once though. so many points will be missed otherwise. narrator is very good. Chesterton 's dry wit comes across beautifully. Fantastic book, Well read! This is probably Chesterton's finest work. The narration holds true and seems to be the best and up to date version. solid book great book, great content, great narrator. a stout defense of an unpopular view of history. supremely interesting at the very least.

Lies We Believe About God Audiobook by Wm. Paul Young, C. Baxter Kruger - foreword

Baxter Kruger - foreword Narrator: Wm. Paul Young, C. Baxter Kruger - foreword Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 48 mins Language: English Release date: 03-07-17 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 277 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: From the author of the 20 million-plus-copy best-selling novel The Shack and the New York Times best sellers Cross Roads and Eve comes a compelling, conversational exploration of the wrongheaded ideas we sometimes have and share about God. Wm. Paul Young has been called a heretic for the ways he vividly portrays God's love through his novels. Here he shares 33 commonly uttered and sometimes seemingly innocuous things we say about God. Paul exposes these as lies that keep us from having full, loving relationships with our creator. With personal anecdotes, and sharing the compassion felt from the "Papa" portrayed in The Shack - soon to be a major film starring Sam Worthington and Octavia Spencer - Paul encourages listeners to think anew about important issues including sin, religion, hell, politics, identity, creation, and human rights and helps us discover God's deep and abiding love. Members Reviews: Thoughtful and mind provoking It was amazing how many of the ideas I grew up with which made me not even want to think about God. I feel as though a light switch has been flipped and see God in a completely different light. Really makes one think about their own relationship with God. Opened my eyes and my heart Listening to this book opened my eyes and my heart to the truth that relationships and love really is what matters. I didn't agree with all of Paul's perceptions and it did help me to stop and think about what I do truly believe and desire in my relationship with God. After listening to the audio book I did buy the paperback -I still like holding great books and being able to read and reread passages. It's a great listen, read and reread book. Lies we believe about god Thought I was on the right track however since reading Lie's we believe about god I now can say with all my heart that I'm on my way.amen Thought-provoking This author always incites me to think deeper, better things about God and my relationship with Him. Very good book! I want to believe... ... I want to believe the right things about God. Isn't that why any of us listened to this work by Wm. Paul Young? The second half of chapter titles had me gasping: "You need to be saved", "Sin separates us from God", etc. It's as if he was saying that the bedrock of my Christian upbringing was itself a Lie (with a capital "L"). I appreciated very much how Young dedicated a section at the end to showcase the passages of Scripture that seem to point to a God who is restoring all things, which includes every human soul. In addition to wanting to believe the right things about God, because I believe that all other beliefs stem from what we believe about God, I want to believe that God is merciful enough to save everyone, because heaven knows that He is powerful enough to do so. I just finished reading Revelation, however, and it seems to smack in the face of this hope that all will be saved. A very violent book, Revelation, especially if you take it literally.

When I Don't Desire God Audiobook by John Piper

Title: When I Don't Desire God Subtitle: How to Fight for Joy Author: John Piper Narrator: David Cochran Heath Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 4 mins Language: English Release date: 02-16-09 Publisher: christianaudio.com Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 161 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: What do you do when you discover that you're not satisfied in God the way he wants you to be? Joy is more than an afterthought of the Christian life; it is the sustaining fruit of a relationship with God. With a radical passion for Christ's glory, John Piper helps you find the joy God wants you to have. ©2004 John Piper; (P)2008 christianaudio.com Members Reviews: Spiritual awakening in a book! I've been looking for this book for a long time - I just didn't know it. I've been looking for a book about how to draw nearer to God, how to find out what God wants, how to live a life that will please God. I know...I know...just read the Bible. I do. I also find that supplemental material from other Christians is very useful. This is the most useful book about Christianity other than the Bible that I have ever read! After the Bible itself, this would be my number one pick for my bookshelf. Yes - it would even supplant some C.S. Lewis material. John Piper examines it all - prayer, purpose, and life. He does so under the spotlight of joy - God's joy and our joy. He takes the discussion away from the clutter of theological terminology by focusing on joy - that often overlooked aspect of our faith. Don't get me wrong. This book is comprehensive and well researched - he often quotes other authors (including C.S. Lewis), and his teaching is Biblically based. He just keeps it focused by concentrating his efforts on the topic of joy. His style is not as conversational as that of some other authors, but he strikes the right chord. I would recommend this book for anyone. I will be listening to this book again many times over because I think I've just become addicted to true joy. Wonderful encouragement The first several chapters about the theology of joy and desire changed my life. And the last chapters on practical application are wonderful. This book normalized my times of lacking joy, showed me that joy in the christian life is something that must be cultivated, and then taught me how to cultivate. Helpful and encouraging Any additional comments? This book is so helpful when someone you know is going through a very difficult time in life. There are practical applications and encouraging thoughts. Great read; hope reminding Often we seek happiness in place of joy; despair of war or lack of peace in spite of hope abounding. To fight for joy we must latch hold of that which along brings hope which is no mere giddy laughter... We must seek Christ. Dry Although I am sure the book is good if read, listening to it with this narrator is next to impossible. I have tried at least 3 times to get into the meat of what John Piper is trying to say, but have been defeated each time by the very dry narration if this book. Too bad in that it defeats the Title of the book.

The Imperfect Disciple Audiobook by Jared C. Wilson

Title: The Imperfect Disciple Subtitle: Grace for People Who Can't Get Their Act Together Author: Jared C. Wilson Narrator: Steven Roy Grimsley Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 27 mins Language: English Release date: 05-02-17 Publisher: christianaudio.com Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 66 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Too many discipleship books are written for clean, perfect people who know all the right Sunday school answers. The Imperfect Disciple is for the rest of us - people who screw up, people who are weary, people who are wondering if it's safe to say what they're really thinking. For the believer who is tired of quasi-spiritual lifehacks being passed off as true, down-and-dirty discipleship, here is a discipleship book that isn't afraid to be honest about the mess we call real life. With incisive wit, warm humor, and moving stories, Jared Wilson shows listeners how the gospel works in them and in their lives when: Wilson frees listeners from the self-doubt and even the misplaced self-confidence they may feel as they walk with Jesus down the often difficult road of life. The result is a faith that weathers storms, lifts burdens, and goes forth to make more imperfect disciples. Members Reviews: A refreshing reaquaintance with the gospel. No punches pulled and the Gospel presented in a way that speaks to the gritty sinful aloofness we all sink to as believers trying to attain a measure of our own righteousness with our worthless currency of effort. Christ supplies all the righteousness we need and this book is an apt reminder of God's complete answer to our neediness. Deep thoughts in an easily digestible format I really enjoyed listening to this book. I was impressed by the depth of the theology and the accessibility of the writing. This is worth multiple listens/reads. Encouragement for the Everyday Christian Christian brother or sister, you are loved by the God of the universe. No matter what you do, you are loved. This is the theme of this short, but important book about what it means to be a disciple of Jesus. We don't need to be perfect, ever. We don't need to have it all together, ever. We just need to be repentant and seeking to follow the Lord in our day to day lives. Consider giving this one a listen if you're feeling discouraged. God will use it to lift you up. Thanks, Jared, for a lovely little bit of grace reminding. Wonderful Turned me again to the grace of Jesus...a very refreshing and encouraging call to rush to and rest in Jesus. Grace for the worst of us This book doesnt merely tell us that God Loves us as we are but it explains why God Loves us despite who we are and what he will make us into. Lerv wins

All In Audiobook by Mark Batterson

Title: All In Subtitle: You Are One Decision Away From a Totally Different Life Author: Mark Batterson Narrator: Van Tracy Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 13 mins Language: English Release date: 09-24-13 Publisher: Zondervan Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 312 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: The Gospel costs nothing. You can't earn it or buy it. It can only be received as a free gift compliments of God's grace. It doesn't cost anything, but it demands everything. It demands that we go "all in," a term that simply means placing all that you have into God's hands. Pushing it all in. And that's where we get stuck - spiritual no man's land. We're afraid that if we go all in that we might miss out on what this life has to offer. It's not true. The only thing you'll miss out on is everything God has to offer. And the good news is this: if you don't hold out on God, God won't hold out on you. Listeners will find Batterson's writing filled with his customary vivid biblical characters like Shamgar and Elisha and Jonathan, and Judas. No one has ever sacrificed anything for God. If you always get back more than you gave up, have you sacrificed anything at all? The eternal reward always outweighs the temporal sacrifice. At the end of the day, our greatest regret will be whatever we didn't give back to God. What we didn't push back across the table to Him. Eternity will reveal that holding out is losing out. The message of All In is simple: if Jesus is not Lord of all then Jesus is not Lord at all. It's all or nothing. It's now or never. Kneeling at the foot of cross of Christ and surrendering to His Lordship is a radical act of dethroning yourself and enthroning Christ as King. It's also an act of disowning yourself. Nothing belongs to you. Not even you. Batterson writes, "For many years, I thought I was following Jesus. I wasn't. I had invited Jesus to follow me. I call it inverted Christianity. And it's a subtle form of selfishness that masquerades as spirituality. That's when I sold out and bought in. When did we start believing that the gospel is an insurance plan? It's a daring plan. Jesus did not die just to keep us safe. He died to make us dangerous." Members Reviews: Awesome Book! Awesome book that really has me thinking. I want to be ALL IN for God! Be All In or All Out Would you listen to All In again? Why? Have alreadyl listen to it twice. Maybe because I am Holy Crazy Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes Any additional comments? Mark Batterson is a great author and motivator. Its like listening to Circle Maker. What did you like best about All In? What did you like least? Very positive for life/ But its like listening to the Circle Maker. What could Mark Batterson have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? Not repeating stories in other books. Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Van Tracy? Van Tracy did great If this book were a movie would you go see it? No Any additional comments? Great Work Mark. My favorite Mark Batterson book! love Mark Batterson's writing but this is by far the most gospel saturated life changing work in my opinion. All in is the only option in following Christ and in our water down Americanized version of the Gospel we need to be reminded of that! A must read for believers A must read for Christians. inspirational and challenging. a thoughtful an well written book by Mark Patterson.

Humble Roots Audiobook by Hannah Anderson

Title: Humble Roots Subtitle: How Humility Grounds and Nourishes Your Soul Author: Hannah Anderson Narrator: Carla Mercer-Meyer Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 40 mins Language: English Release date: 03-17-17 Publisher: christianaudio.com Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 23 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Feeling worn thin? Come find rest. The Blue Ridge Parkway meanders through miles of rolling Virginia mountains. It's a route made famous by natural beauty and the simple rhythms of rural life. And it's in this setting that Hannah Anderson began her exploration of what it means to pursue a life of peace and humility. Fighting back her own sense of restlessness and anxiety, she finds herself immersed in the world outside, discovering a classroom full of forsythia, milkweed, and a failed herb garden. Lessons about soil preparation, sour mulch, and grapevine blights reveal the truth about our dependence on God, finding rest, and fighting discontentment. Humble Roots is part theology of incarnation and part stroll through the fields and forest. Anchored in the teaching of Jesus, Anderson explores how cultivating humility - not scheduling, strict boundaries, or increased productivity - leads to peace. "Come unto me, all who labor and are heavy laden," Jesus invites us, "and you will find rest for your souls." So come. Learn humility from the lilies of the field and from the one who is humility himself. Remember who you are and who you are not, and rediscover the rest that comes from belonging to him. Members Reviews: A must read I enjoyed all of the parallels she makes to humility as well as the scripture she unfolds. It didn't read as a Christian self help book but more of a narrative. I believe it's a must read because most all our human struggles are central to pride; the opposite of humility. Fantastic Fantastic book! I will definitely recommend it to others. I'm going to be rereading it. Amazing For any person that feels overwhelmed and/or out of control, not worthy, under accomplishes, etc This book felt like it was speaking directly to me. Very encouraging as I realized I am not the only way to feel this way, and that there is hope and rest in Christ. This book is also very convicting in many ways. She does a great job with theology as she walks through different subjects. So worth the read! Great insights really enjoyed the points of humility.it was just what I needed. Thank you very much

My Utmost for His Highest Audiobook by Oswald Chambers

Title: My Utmost for His Highest Subtitle: An Updated Edition in Today's Language Author: Oswald Chambers Narrator: Michael Card Format: Unabridged Length: 13 hrs and 51 mins Language: English Release date: 01-05-09 Publisher: christianaudio.com Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 169 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: The aim of Oswald Chambers was all-encompassing: "to shut out every other consideration and keep yourself before God for this one thing only--My Utmost for His Highest... determined to be absolutely and entirely for Him and for Him alone." Oswald Chambers was born in Scotland and spent much of his boyhood there. His ministry of teaching and preaching took him for a time to the United States and Japan. The last six years of his life were spent as principal of the Bible Training College in London, and as a chaplain to British Commonwealth troops in Egypt during World War 1. After his death, the works which bear his name were compiled by his wife from her own verbatim shorthand notes of his talks. Michael Card is an award-winning singer, songwriter, author and teacher. With over 20 albums to his credit, 19 #1 songs, and 14+ books, he is uniquely gifted and qualified to narrate My Utmost for His Highest. His nuanced and thoughtful reading of this timeless classic provide a magnificent opportunity for those regardless of their familiarity of Oswald Chambers. Members Reviews: Nothing better This is the best daily devotional there is. I just wish each day had been recorded as a chapter so that you could go straight to the right day. Great book, but execution in Audible is inadequate What disappointed you about My Utmost for His Highest? Nothing is wrong with the book or the reader. The only issue is how the book is divided in Audible. This is a daily devotional, but multiple days are contained in one chapter. It would be much better if they went a chapter a day. It would mean 365 chapters, but it would make it much easier to listen to a particular day's devotion. What about Michael Cards performance did you like? Very contemplative. You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? I love the book, but not the execution of the book within Audible. A Pure Blessing! Today, I finished listening to Oswald Chambers's My Utmost for His Highest audiobook for the first time. This production is 13 hours and 51 minutes of precious treasure. God willing, I will listen time and time again. Powerful Daily Devotions Any additional comments? This is a truly amazing book, full of powerful wisdom. The reading of Michael Card fits the tone of the writing beautifully. Wonderful So glad to see more of the Christian Classics coming to audio... "whatever is good, noble, pure.... think on these things." I find I am really enjoying having access to the great thinkers of the faith at my fingertips.

Author: Robert Morris Narrator: Steven Roy Grimsley Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 1 min Language: English Release date: 04-26-16 Publisher: Thomas Nelson Publishers Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 158 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Hearing God is not something you do. Hearing God is someone you are. As believers in Jesus Christ, we naturally want to know how we can hear God's voice. Does God speak? Is he speaking to me? The good news is, yes, he is speaking. And like a radio host broadcasting his voice into the airwaves, God speaks all the time. The question is, are we tuned in to the right frequency? In Frequency, Robert Morris reveals a groundbreaking, Bible-based teaching about hearing God's voice. God communicates with us in multiple ways, whether through the Bible, through circumstances, or even through a whisper. Robert Morris demonstrates how we can mature from hearing his voice as sheep to hearing it as his friend to even hearing it as a prophet. When we begin to understand the general and specific ways God speaks to us, then we can begin to cultivate lives of deeper connection with our Creator. In Frequency, listeners will... Frequency will demystify the process of hearing God and take you to a new level in your faith. God is speaking. Are you listening? Members Reviews: Our Greatest Passion It's books like this that make me thankful for two things: 1) a long commute 2) audible . It's like a Bible Study class on wheels. Robert Morris is an awesome Bible teacher. I read, watch and listen to anything he puts out. His teaching is Bible. He references every point with Scripture and teaches on a level that we can all understand. They say you need to listen to something seven times in order for it to actually take. This is one book you really want to listen to and/or read more than once. I listened to his iPod messages that are based off this book as well. It's the best teaching on hearing God that I have had the pleasure of hearing. I will more that likely buy the Bible Study kit when it comes out, too. I have a hard copy of the book to read so that it really sinks in. Hearing from God should be our greatest passion. Exactly what I needed!! I need say no more than God's timing is perfect! Thank you Pastor Robert for being obedient to hearing God's voice and writing this book! Good read It had a great point about being able to hear God's voice as nature, or an internal conscience and good biblical backing. However I would purchase the actual book because the voice of the narrator was incredibly monotonous for me... But like I said id definitely buy it and read it - good content. Mostly emphasizes the relationship with God Another Robert Morris hit. While reading Speak Life by Brady Boyd, a member of Gateway Church of Southlake, Texas advised that she had heard Brady speak at Gateway. She said that Robert Morris' Frequency was an excellent companion on "tuning in to hear God". She was right. By the way, I rated Speak Life with 5 stars as well. I will get another Robert Morris book and/or audio soon. Al Culp I wish Robert read it. great book but found myself very distracted by hearing Roberts words and way of speaking being read by someone else.

The Story of Reality Audiobook by Gregory Koukl, Nancy Pearcey - foreword

Title: The Story of Reality Subtitle: How the World Began, How It Ends, and Everything Important That Happens in Between Author: Gregory Koukl, Nancy Pearcey - foreword Narrator: Gregory Koukl Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 36 mins Language: English Release date: 01-17-17 Publisher: Zondervan Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 174 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Biblical Christianity is more than just another private religious view. It's more than just a personal relationship with God or a source of moral teaching. Christianity is a picture of reality. It explains why the world is the way it is. When the pieces of this puzzle are properly assembled, we see the big picture clearly. Christianity is a true story of how the world began, why the world is the way it is, what role humans play in the drama, and how all the plotlines of the story are resolved in the end. In The Story of Reality, best-selling author and host of Stand to Reason Gregory Koukl explains the five words that form the narrative backbone of the Christian story. He identifies the most important things that happen in the story in the order they take place: Our story begins with God. He created everything, but something went terribly wrong. So God initiated a rescue plan and entered the world that he had made by becoming like us in Jesus Christ. Jesus saved us from the wrongness in ourselves and in the world through his death on a cross. And how people respond to what he did will determine their future, at the final event of history: the resurrection. If you are already a Christian, this is your story. Do you know it? If you are not a Christian, this is still your story, because it explains the world in a way that nothing else will. It is a true story - the real story behind every other story we hear. Members Reviews: Great Book, Bad Editing If you could sum up The Story of Reality in three words, what would they be? Very Important Message What three words best describe Gregory Koukls performance? Very good reading but whoever edited it made lots of errors. Any additional comments? In all the audiobooks I have listened to I have never heard so many editing errors. You can tell on multiple occasions where the reader started over because he made a mistake and the person editing it didn't get it pasted back together right. Every Christian should have this in their Library. This was a fantastic book and Greg did a great job of reading it. I think every Christian should have a couple of these books on hand, because it would be a great book to give away to someone that you are sharing the gospel with. I appreciate the fact that this book will be accessible to intellectuals and the laymen alike. it's an awesome book.... Read it or listen to it. Concrete Clear and Concise Fantastic book, concrete clear and concise explanation of the Christian Worldview. I would recommend this to all who claim to be a follower of Christ and to the skeptic although it does not go deep into the evidence, it gives good reasons to believe. An Aha Book. this book ia awesome . Outstanding, complete understanding of God, creation Life. cruafliction, Salvation, everlasting Life, from beginning to end a great told story that is all real. Love it so much that i have bought additional copies to gjve out. it's the only book othere than the Bible that i have highlighted sections. best Christian apologetic book I've ever heard! best Christian apologetics book I've every heard! great narrating, loved the way he explains the Christian story

How to Hear the Voice of God and Understand It Audiobook by Adam Houge

Title: How to Hear the Voice of God and Understand It Author: Adam Houge Narrator: Michael Griffith Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 14 mins Language: English Release date: 09-24-14 Publisher: Living Tree Publishing Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 223 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: God speaks to us in many ways. Through circumstances of life, through the issues of the heart, through His Holy Spirit, and through His word. When we understand how the inward voice of God works it is easier to understand His will. When we understand His will we can have a more fulfilling relationship with Him. In this audiobook, youll learn the various ways God speaks to us, and how to understand them. You will learn how to rightly respond to His voice and grow in discernment of it. You will discover a deeper more fulfilling relationship with God as you learn how to more effectively communicate with Him. Members Reviews: Great Book Explains what God wants for us very clearly. I now have a better understanding of the unconditional love the Lord has for each of us. And how to grow ones faith. He explains that very well. Powerful As a husband and father of 3 small kids, I recently suffered a tragic medical illness. I bought both the kindle and audible versions to immerse myself in the messages and prayers. I read it as a supplement (NOT a substitute) to the Bible. Like a compass to a map, I found it to be a useful tool to assist me on my own personal faith journey. Helps me remember to listen to God I love listening to this book and have done so at least three times now. It reminds me to listen to God and not myself. If direction from God is what your seeking this book will definitely tune your ears to God. It reminds us that if we're not careful we will follow our own deceitful hearts. Good listen Good information for someone learning to hear the voice of the Lord. The narration was a little faster than I like, so I found myself stopping the book so I could ponder some of the points. An exceptional value to spiritual growth. I loved this book and the narrator is excellent. There is a valuable message here that is worth listening to again and again.

Trusting God Day by Day Audiobook by Joyce Meyer

Title: Trusting God Day by Day Subtitle: 365 Daily Devotions Author: Joyce Meyer Narrator: Gwen Hughes Format: Unabridged Length: 16 hrs and 17 mins Language: English Release date: 11-13-12 Publisher: Hachette Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 50 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: In her dynamic new devotional, Trusting God Day by Day, international speaker and New York Times best-selling author Joyce Meyer provides you with powerful "starting points" for every day of the year. Each day's devotion is filled with practical advice and help from Joyce along with life-changing promises from God's Word that you can quickly and easily apply in your own life. The world wants you to place your trust in your circumstances, your success, your talents and the opinions of others. But God's called you to rise above the world, and put your full trust in Him - to believe and apply what He's promised in His Word more than anything else. Living this way won't just happen - you have to be intentional. But where do you begin? We all need help to make good choices, battle worry, overcome anxiety and keep a positive attitude. Using this devotional, readers will learn to grab hold of life this way, day by day, with trust in God. Members Reviews: Great book in audio format. All time favorite! I love,love,love this book! I am a huge fan of Joyce Meyer's, but sometimes struggle with audio books because if I lose focus for a moment I often lose the story line and then my interest wanes altogether. Not so with this book. It has 365 segments, one for each day of the year. But what really surprised me is the depth Joyce shares for each day. I was worried it may be real light weight, feel good stuff, but it is wonderfully deep and thought provoking EACH day and if you miss something, its easy to pick up again, without having to rewind, or just wait a few minutes for the next day's amazing message. I love to fall asleep at night listening to an audio book as I wake often during the night and like to have something to listen to and focus on so my mind doesn't race over the previous day's events. When I wake and hear Joyce's wisdom it is a special kind of comfort and with over 16 hours of recording I can wake up and still have 8 hours more to enjoy, on my walk, making breakfast,etc. It is a blessing to me day and night, literally..... THIS IS ONE OF MY ALL TIME BEST AUDIBLE PURCHASES and I have been a member for years! If you love Joyce you will love it too. If you don't know her it would be a great introduction. I have listened to it twice through and will just never get tired of it. There is so much to value and love with this purchase. Wonderful insight! Where does Trusting God Day by Day rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? I love Joyce Meyer's books. This is a great devo. It speaks to my every day life. TheChaplain Washington State Patrol The word of God is a stand alone and valued. Thank You. I appreciate you Love Joyce. Not a fan of Gwen Hughes narrating. I can't hear and or feel the story like I would if Joyce was reading it. Not with this lady reading it.

Beautiful Outlaw Audiobook by John Eldredge

Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/612/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Beautiful Outlaw Subtitle: Experiencing the Playful, Disruptive, Extravagant Personality of Jesus Author: John Eldredge Narrator: John Eldredge Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 35 mins Language: English Release date: 10-13-11 Publisher: Hachette Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 513 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Reading the Gospels without knowing the personality of Jesus is like watching television with the sound turned off. The result is a dry, two dimensional person doing strange, undecipherable things. In Beautiful Outlaw, John Eldredge removes the religious varnish to help readers discover stunning new insights into the humanity of Jesus. He was accused of breaking the law, keeping bad company, heavy drinking. Of being the devil himself. He was so compelling and dangerous they had to kill him. But others loved him passionately. He had a sense of humor. His generosity was scandalous. His anger made enemies tremble. He'd say the most outrageous things. He was definitely not the Jesus of the stained glass. In the author's winsome, narrative approach, he breaks Jesus out of the typical stereotypes, just as he set masculinity free in his book, Wild at Heart. By uncovering the real Jesus, readers are welcomed into the rich emotional life of Christ. All of the remarkable qualities of Jesus burst like fireworks with color and brilliance because of his humanity. Eldredge goes on to show readers how they can experience this Jesus in their lives every day. This book will quicken readers' worship, and deepen their intimacy with Jesus. Members Reviews: Wow! You're going to love this book! Okay, I know that 100% of those who read this will not love it, but most will. For those of you who don't already feel this way about Jesus, let me say the book is respectful, it's not a tongue in cheek joke book. Thanks to BibleGateway, I've listened my way through the Bible, several times, several Bibles, different narrators. As many times as I've read the Bible, it was dry, tough to get through, read it because I was supposed to. But when I started listening to it, I started understanding it differently and I saw Jesus as not just the Son of God, but as a human. I could hear his sarcasm at the Apostles - really. How could he not get a bit frustrated as often as he had to tell them things? The author, John Eldredge takes this even further and shows not only Jesus in the Bible but in everyday life. Jesus is all things to all people and perhaps this isn't your Jesus, but be assured this can be your Jesus. Don't cheat yourself and Jesus by leaving him in the Bible as a two dimensional Savior. Jesus wants to give, so ask, he loves you, let him, you can have this kind of relationship with Jesus, just open your mind and your heart - he's there waiting. Don't be surprised if hear "What took you so long?" If you already have this kind of relationship with Jesus, you will enjoy this book and perhaps, even gain more insights. If you've never had this type of relationship, but would like it, you will fall in love with this book and fall in love with Our Savior all over again. And if you are in the middle, not sure about all this - get the book, surely you can spare a few of the hours God has given you to read about His Son and enhance your life. I enjoyed this so much, I listened to it three times in a row. Now, I'm going to try another book by this author, John Eldredge,Walking with God: Talk to Him. Hear from Him. Really. I am excited! So you think you know Jesus... I've read and listened to other books by John Eldredge.

The Crucified Life Audiobook by A. W. Tozer, James L. Snyder

Title: The Crucified Life Subtitle: How to Live Out a Deeper Christian Experience Author: A. W. Tozer, James L. Snyder Narrator: Tim Lundeen, A. W. Tozer Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 50 mins Language: English Release date: 12-09-11 Publisher: Oasis Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 297 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: What does it mean to be "crucified with Christ"? During his lifetime, renowned teacher A. W. Tozer was often invited to speak at seminaries, churches and Bible conferences on the topic of the cross and its meaning for the Christian life. Now, in this never-before-published distillation of his best teaching on the subject, you will gain a fresh understanding of the crosss centrality to your walk of faith in Christ. The apostle Paul declared in his letter to the Galatians that he had been crucified with Christ. But what does this mean? Is this a claim every believer can and should make? The Crucified Life is a comprehensive examination of these questions, answered with the deep, biblical thinking for which Tozer was revered. God is ingenious in developing crosses for His followers, Tozer was fond of saying. At the heart of this audiobook, you will find a call to follow Christ to the cross and be raised to new life - a call to live the crucified life. Includes authentic audio clips of A.W. Tozer speaking after each chapter. Members Reviews: The Wonderful Thing About Tozer... is that, like Bonhoeffer, he took what he did very seriously and wrote passionately about the Christian life, not as a "presto-chango-once-saved-always-saved-say-the-magic-words-and-win-heaven" affair, but rather as an ongoing struggle toward goodness and rightness and justice--in short, a living of life in such a fashion that goodness was wrought in the physical world, in which the self and ego were sacrificed for simplicity and charity toward all people, in which others were thought of before oneself, and God, eternal rightness and goodness, above all. It is a message that forever needs to be heard and heeded if the true Christian life is to live on at all. Authentic Biblical teaching What did you love best about The Crucified Life? Tozer is worth his weight in gold because he follows the Bible accurately. This book coaches Christians on obtaining a deeper Christianity, and explains how to achieve the real Christian life. In my opinion, "The Crucified Life" is of value not only for beginners, but also for intermediate Christians who are not progressing, or are off-track. It is also of value for Church leaders to use to re-evaluate what is important. Have you listened to any of Tim Lundeen and A. W. Tozer ???s other performances before? How does this one compare? This is my first listen to Tozer and Lundeen. The narrator is very good. This audio book is easy to follow and understand. Any additional comments? I highly recommend "The Crucified Life". I also recommend the Puritans (such as Paul Bunyan, John Flavel, Jonathan Edwards, John Owen, Thomas Watson, and William Gurnall), D.L. Moody, Charles Spurgeon, E.M. Bounds, Andrew Murray, Jim Cymbala, and Henry Blackaby. The writings of the Christian Saints are also valuable. A must read for any serious Christian Would you listen to The Crucified Life again? Why? I have listened to about 24 audio books in the past year and this is by far the best of all of them. Very well done and a series of powerful points that will humble any Christian. You need to be free of all distractions and willing to listen to what is being said without becoming defensive as you listen. All Christians should want to read this book.

Title: SOZO Saved Healed Delivered Subtitle: A Journey into Freedom with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit Author: Dawna DeSilva, Teresa Liebscher Narrator: Ruby Rivers Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 14 mins Language: English Release date: 11-02-16 Publisher: Destiny Image Publishers Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 63 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Experience salvation, healing, and deliverance in every area of your life. For too long, the popular understanding of Christian salvation has been limited to securing a place in heaven. Sadly, many Christ-followers experience constant defeat during their time on Earth. Something is missing. The biblical concept of salvation comes from the Greek word "Sozo" and has a holistic implication. Power and victory flowed through the New Testament Church because the early Christians understood how to live out their salvation in a way that impacted every area of their lives - spirit, soul, and body. In SOZO, Dawna DeSilva and Teresa Liebscher provide revelatory teaching and miraculous testimonies that paint a stunning picture of how to experience Heaven's freedom in every area of your life. You will receive: Salvation is not simply a ticket to Heaven. It is abundant life that begins now...and continues forever. Members Reviews: With while book Another review criticizes this book for stating that past experiences can leave scars on our perception of reality. I recommend this person go consult any psychology 101 book, because it is a well established fact that experiences shape our perception of ourselves and the world. This book focuses on how to our relationship with God can heal wounds left from negative beliefs. Absolutely transformational!! Beautiful, healing, practical, useful, applicable, easy to follow, insightful and Spirit inspired, thank you for writing it! Essential tools that everyone should learn. in a world full of brokenness I am convinced that we need to start learning/teaching was to deal with the inner struggles we have due to the dark/hate filled world around us. This book not only opens your eyes to true healing but it also give you tools to be able to start your own journey as well as teaches you how to use these tools to help others. We would be living in a different type of work if we all learned these things from a small age. Don't hesitate to download this book and listen to many times and let your own healing journey begin! Excellent! Excellent! a beautiful, practical and powerful tool to be use in our daily lives. Love it! Claudia. Wa This is a cult disguising as a Christian Ministry Any additional comments? Titles like this one makes me so angry. The so-called SOZO technique which is used to create a relationship with father, son and holy spirit uses the repressed memories. In that sense, it is similar to scientology. It argues that past traumatic events hinder us to have a relationship with Godheads. This book is dangerous to mainstream Christians. I am returning the title after 30 minutes of listening.

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 16 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Leonard Ravenhill's call to revival is as timely now as it was when it was published over 50 years ago. The message is fearless and often radical as he expounds on the disparity between the New Testament church and the church today. Why Revival Tarries contains the heart of his message. AW Tozer called Ravenhill "a man sent from God" who "appeared at [a] critical moment in history", just as the Old Testament prophets did. Included are questions for group and individual study. Ravi Zacharias refers to this as "the book that shaped me...more dramatically than any other". Members Reviews: FINALLY!!! I've been waiting for an audio version of this book for years!!! Very pleased with the narration! Great book that will challenge every Christian.

The Bible Tells Me So Audiobook by Peter Enns

Title: The Bible Tells Me So Subtitle: Why Defending Scripture Has Made Us Unable to Read It Author: Peter Enns Narrator: Joe Barrett Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 55 mins Language: English Release date: 03-03-15 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 346 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Trained as an evangelical Bible scholar, Peter Enns loved the Scriptures and shared his devotion by teaching at Westminster Theological Seminary. But the further he studied the Bible, the more he found himself confronted by questions that could neither be answered within the rigid framework of his religious instruction nor be accepted among the conservative evangelical community. Rejecting the increasingly complicated intellectual games used by conservative Christians to "protect" the Bible, Enns was conflicted. Is this what God really requires? How could God's plan for divine inspiration mean ignoring what is really written in the Bible? These questions eventually cost Enns his job - but they also opened a new spiritual path for him to follow. The Bible Tells Me So chronicles Enns's spiritual odyssey, how he came to see beyond restrictive doctrine and learned to embrace God's Word as it is actually written. As he explores questions progressive evangelical readers of Scripture commonly face yet fear voicing, Enns reveals that they are the very questions that God wants us to consider - the essence of our spiritual study. Critic Reviews: "This is not an academic book, instead, it's a popular, short treatment designed to provoke a reset of how we read the Bible." ( Library Journal) Members Reviews: Popular level look at how we understand scripture The main point of the book is that the modern understanding of Scripture as rule book or guide-book or science book actually changes scripture to something that is different from what early Christians understood and how the writers seem to have intended. After a few years of reading about Hermeneutics (theory of how we interpret) and being frustrated by Enns and Christian Smith and others, I have come to an equilibrium on the matter. But these ideas are often disconcerting to those that are coming to them for the first time. Most Christians know that the bible was written by humans. Some believe that it was directly (word for word) inspired by God. Others believe that the biblical authors were inspired by God, but God gave them freedom to do the writing on their own. (And some dont believe that the bible was inspired at all.) Enns main metaphor in Inspiration and Incarnation was that we should think of scripture like we think of Jesus incarnation. Jesus is fully human and fully God. Similarly scripture is from God but still human written. When we think of scripture as primarily from God and not written by humans with a particular point then it is easy to have our faith shaken by any threat to scripture. This is why creation is so important for many. Many believe (and I have frequently been told) that if a 7 day literal creation did not occur or the entire world was not covered by water in Noahs flood, or Jonah was not literally swallowed by a fish then we cant trust scripture and we cant trust God. But John Walton has (to me at least) successfully demonstrated that the original author and readers were not talking about the physical creation in Genesis 1 and 2 but the functional creation. The original readers were more interested in why than how.

The History of Christian Theology Audiobook by The Great Courses

Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/612/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The History of Christian Theology Author: The Great Courses Narrator: Professor Phillip Cary Format: Original Recording Length: 18 hrs and 56 mins Language: English Release date: 07-08-13 Publisher: The Great Courses Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 366 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: In this 36-lecture course, you'll find an engaging way to explore profound religious questions and the many responses believers, scholars, and theologians have developed over more than 2,000 years. Through this series, Professor Cary reveals the enduring power of the Christian tradition - as both an intellectual discipline and a spiritual path. These lectures begin at the very dawn of Christianity, as you examine some of the earliest examples of scripture recorded by the first communities of the faithful. You'll see how, over the centuries, these teachings developed into the orthodox teachings of the mainstream church as well as the divergent doctrines taught by splinter groups branded as "heretics." You'll explore the causes and outcomes of the split between the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church during the Middle Ages and examine the explosion of the many Protestant groups that resulted from the Reformation in the 16th century. And finally, you'll come to the modern era, with a survey of the evolution of Christian thought in today's society - the ongoing story of how faith persists in an increasingly secularized world. Each lecture illuminates the conceptual structure of Christian theology as it connects to spiritual practices such as prayer, worship, the use of sacraments, and the contemplation of religious icons. Through lucid and engaging explanations, they provide intriguing analyses of theological ideas in their unique historical, social, and biographical contexts to help you understand the power of each tradition within its particular time and place. The result is a sweeping survey that probes some of the most common questions about Christian faith over the centuries. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio. Members Reviews: Been Waiting for This This is a great course with a great professor. He covered a wide range of deep topics in an easy to understand way. I would definitely look for other courses by him. I also thought that he offered a number of fascinating insights about why these theological issues matter. My only criticism is that the course would be better titled History of Protestant Theology orbsomething- it does not cover Eastern Orthodox or Catholic theology past the point where Protestant history splits off, which was a little disappointing. Overall a GREAT course. Christian Theology through Protestant Eyes. Where does The History of Christian Theology rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? I would have to rate it quite high for it`s clarity, listenability and overall informative-balance. What was one of the most memorable moments of The History of Christian Theology? There were many insightful moments but my most memorable was the ending with reference to Hans Ur Von Balthasar. What does Professor Phillip Cary bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? A warm human, informed and balanced connection. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? On one level yes, but on another level one sitting would not have enabled me to take it all in.

Title: The Songs of Jesus Subtitle: A Year of Daily Devotions in the Psalms Author: Timothy Keller, Kathy Keller Narrator: Sean Pratt Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 39 mins Language: English Release date: 11-10-15 Publisher: Penguin Audio Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 24 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Renowned pastor and New York Times best-selling author Timothy Keller writes the book his readers and listeners have been asking for: a yearlong daily devotional. The Songs of Jesus by Timothy Keller offers inspiration every day for an entire year based on the book of Psalms. Few authors have the loyal audience that Timothy Keller has. Penguin has sold more than two million copies of his books. His many fans have been waiting for him to write a daily devotional in the tradition of Sarah Young's Jesus Calling. Each day, listeners will encounter a fresh, inspiring lesson from one of the most beloved books in the Bible. Members Reviews: Good for me throughout my day I love having the Word in my ears through the day as I work or drive or do dishes or whatever - even if I only catch 80% of it, it's still way more than if I listened to nothing. Love Keller. Love the Psalms. Good stuff. Not good as an audiobook This should not be sold as an audiobook. I listen to audiobooks when I drive to work and I was not able to keep up, reference any scriptures or know when one of the devotional s was complete. It was overall confusing to me. I think the devotional itself would be great in book form. On the go, not so much.

Title: Practice of the Presence of God Subtitle: Being Conversations and Letters of Nicholas Hermann of Lorraine Author: Brother Lawrence Narrator: Scott Brick Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 14 mins Language: English Release date: 01-05-09 Publisher: christianaudio.com Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 190 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Nicholas Herman (c. 1605-1691) was born in Lorraine, France and served as a cook and shoe repairer at a Carmelite monastery. He was only a lay member of the order, and walked with a limp from injuries incurred as a soldier, yet his private thoughts provide a wellspring of devotional insight and refreshment. (P)2008 christianaudio.com Members Reviews: Alternate Title: How to Pray Continuously This is not a story and does not focus on Brother Lawerence's life. It gives numerous excellent examples on how to conscientiously include God in every aspect of your life no matter what you are doing. If that is your goal then this is a book I would recommend. At times it is rather dry but what would you expect from notes and letters from a 16th(?) century lay brother living at a monastery? However, it is only about an hour long. There are other readers of this title and I listened to all the available excerpts and found this read to be the best of the group. He sounds more conversational and has a pleasant voice. He speaks clearly without sounding institutional. One of my top five favourite books of ALL TIME If you could sum up Practice of the Presence of God in three words, what would they be? Intimate Adoring Conversation What did you like best about this story? That it is 400 years old and translated into the exquisite language of 19th century English. That it is the way to learn to live the first and most important reason you are here: to love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength. Which scene was your favorite? Brother Lawrence in a letter writes, ``you may think this is all I talk about, It is true.`` I love that line, It is true. The narrators voice brings the heart of BL to life! Bravo Scott Brick! I can see, feel and aspire to his pure heart of integrity, to `think nothing, say nothing and do nothing but for the love of God. Imagine a man like that, a women like that! I love how BL uses feminine pronouns to describe his soul. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? It makes me fall on my knees. It makes me change the way I think, speak, reflect. Any additional comments? He ``suffered much`` the first ten years practicing the presence of God. It`s not like flipping a switch it is a consistent forming of the mind and spirit. If it would take me ten years to pursue the heart of God, and find it the way Brother Lawrence found it, then I will start my quest now. Bottom Line Transforming Truth Resource I was introduced to this book early in my walk with Jesus. It helped to transform how I viewed and practiced praying. One of my favorite things about this book was the humility of Brother Lawrence. He didn't want this book published while he was alive. It seems he wanted neither the credit or the glory that belongs solely to GOD. Brother Lawrence is amazing, Scott Brick isn't Any additional comments? I have read through my paper copy of this incredible little book many times. Unfortunately, Scott Brick is totally the wrong reader for this title. It requires a humble, gentle presentation, and these are not Brick's qualities (at least not when he reads). My advice is to buy the book and read it yourself. A Must Read! After listening to this book, you will no longer see ypur suffering in the same way.

Jesus was a master storyteller, and the parables he told were ingeniously simple word pictures with profound spiritual lessons. Understanding the parables is a crucial matter for followers of Jesus. Jesus told parables so his people might comprehend his message about the kingdom of God clearly. Master expositor and Bible commentator John MacArthur has spent a lifetime explaining the word of God in clear and comprehensible terms. In Parables, he helps Christians understand the essential lessons contained in the most famous and influential short stories the world has ever known. Members Reviews: More great teaching What did you love best about Parables? Clear and clean theology about the teachings of Jesus! Any additional comments? I am impressed by the clear and compelling exposition of the parables in this book. Will definitely be listening again Each parable broken down. I love how he broke down each parable and how they flowed together to ultimately tell the true story that heaven can only be gained through Christ. This is truly a must hear book I thought I was well versed on most of our Lord's parables until hearing Pastor John explain them verse by verse. richly blessed again..I am blessed in my journey for truth in God inerrant Word..John and his team led by the spirit of God has contributed so much to my walk with Christ. This book is full of treasures that last a lifetime. thank you Jesus! I like John MacArthur The first book I read (well listened to) from this author. I enjoyed it very much. I will read others now

The Case for Jesus Audiobook by Robert Barron - afterword, Brant Pitre

Title: The Case for Jesus Subtitle: The Biblical and Historical Evidence for Christ Author: Robert Barron - afterword, Brant Pitre Narrator: Mark Deakins Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 30 mins Language: English Release date: 02-02-16 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 349 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Over the past hundred years, scholars have attacked the historical truth of the Gospels and argued that they were originally anonymous and filled with contradictions. In The Case for Jesus, Brant Pitre taps in to the wells of Christian scripture, history, and tradition to ask and answer a number of different questions, including: If we don't know who wrote the Gospels, how can we trust them? How are the four Gospels different from other Gospels, such as the lost Gospel of "Q" and the Gospel of Thomas? How can the four Gospels be historically true when there are differences between them? How much faith should be put into these writings? As The Case for Jesus will show, recent discoveries in New Testament scholarship as well as neglected evidence from ancient manuscripts and the early church fathers together have the potential to pull the rug out from under a century of skepticism toward the apostolic authorship and historical truth of the traditional Gospels. Critic Reviews: "I've lost count how many times I've heard critics say the Gospels are late, anonymous, and untrustworthy sources that don't prove the divinity of Christ. At last there is a book that refutes these claims with scholarly rigor while still being an enjoyable read for lay persons." (Trent Horn, author of Answering Atheism) Members Reviews: My favorite Scripture Scholar Would you listen to The Case for Jesus again? Why? Yes, I plan to. This book is such a treasure-house of information and discovery. What other book might you compare The Case for Jesus to and why? Perhaps another story--like Indiana Jones. I'm not kidding. This book has a kind of thrill to it that feels like your on the hunt for treasure. You find it in the truths he describes in Scripture. Excellent. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes it certainly was. Case for Jesus Wow! Outstanding presentation; a must read for all Christians and non-believers. Concise and well organized book. It makes perfect sense! How could anyone argue after listening to this? His evidence is so compelling and thorough. Anyone doubting their Faith should listen to this! Insightful Full of great insights about Jesus and the Bible, highly recommend. Whether you are a Christian or not I think you will find Pitre's presentation of the subject fair, scholarly, yet approachable. He makes a surprisingly convincing case for the historicity of the gospels and Jesus claims to be Devine. The insights into 1st century Judaism make it valuable even if you have know doubts as to who Jesus was. Enlightening Gives solid evidence to why some modern biblical scholars are completely wrong on their dating of when the gospels were written. Answers the tough questions on why we should believe that the Bible is accurate.

Title: The Artisan Soul Subtitle: Crafting Your Life into a Work of Art Author: Erwin Raphael McManus Narrator: Erwin Raphael McManus Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 11 mins Language: English Release date: 04-05-16 Publisher: HarperAudio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 84 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: In The Artisan Soul, Erwin Raphael McManus, author, thought leader, and founder of MOSAIC in Los Angeles, pens a manifesto for human creativity and the beginning of a new renaissance. McManus not only calls us to reclaim our creative essence but reveals how we can craft our lives into works of art. There are no shortcuts to quality, and McManus celebrates the spiritual process that can help us discover our true selves. McManus demonstrates that we all carry within us the essence of an artist. We all need to create, to be part of a process that brings to the world something beautiful, good, and true in order to allow our souls to come to life. It's not only the quality of the ingredients we use to build our lives that matter but the care we bring to the process itself. Just like baking artisan bread, it's a process that's crafted over time. And God has something to say about how we craft our lives. With poignant, inspirational stories and insights from art, life, history, and scripture interspersed throughout, McManus walks listeners through the process of crafting a life of beauty and wonder. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio. Members Reviews: Bravo Thank you. Your words switched the light inside of me back on. Never stop creating. LOVE! Erwin McManus has an amazing ability to tap into the human spirit and provide insights to grow not only spiritually but fully as a human being. Whether you are a musician or a data scientist, this book is applicable to you. great read! this is a must read whether you are an artist or not! truly thought provoking. Fantastic! Must read for everyone! This is a must read, especially for those who do not think they are creative. I have been an art teacher since 1998! I agree with everything Erwin mentions in this book. I have experienced this first hand with the 12,000+ art students I have taught over the years. I also know from personal experience that when I am actively creating art, I am intimately connecting with my Creator, God. There is a depth of creativity that we all have, given to us, by God, because that is who he is...The Most Creative Creator who made us in his image! Bad narration The guy sounded like he was about to burst into tears the entire time. Impossible to listen to.

Title: Finally Free Subtitle: Fighting for Purity With the Power of Grace Author: Heath Lambert Narrator: Bob Souer Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 39 mins Language: English Release date: 11-15-16 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 66 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: If you have struggled personally against the powerful draw of pornography, or if you have ever tried to help someone fighting this battle, you know how hard it is to break free. But real freedom isn't found by trying harder to change. Nor is it found in a particular method or program. Only Jesus Christ has the power to free people from the enslaving power of pornography. In Finally Free, Dr. Heath Lambert, a leader in the biblical counseling movement, lays out eight gospel-centered strategies for overcoming the deceitful lure of pornography. Each chapter clearly demonstrates how the gospel applies to this particular battle and how Jesus can move listeners from a life of struggle to a life of purity. If you or someone you care about is fighting this battle, there is good news: No matter how intense or long-standing the struggle, Jesus Christ can, will, and does set people free from the power of pornography. Members Reviews: Embraceable good narrator, helpful-looking for a great outcome seems very helpful and balanced for all struggling. good stories great book I have read multiple books on a Christian perspective on how to escape the clutches of porn, and this is the best one I've read so far. truth and LOVE this is a fantastic and wide book with little fluff. don't see this much these days. praying,for transformation of the heavenly kind Excellent Best resource I have found on this topic. Bible-based and theologically sound. Avoids details that could cause someone struggling with moral impurity to be more tempted. Fighting the Issue at its Source Excellently written with life changing strategies that will heal poisonous lustful addictions. The narrator is a bit robotic, but the way he even pronounces the word "pornography" gives me chills enough to want to avoid it. The author's testimony is very powerful and after reading this, Heath has become one of my favorite pastors. This book is a must for anyone who seriously wants to defeat addiction to porn the only way possible - through sound biblical principles, accountability, and the Holy Spirit.

The Gospel According to Paul Audiobook by John MacArthur

Title: The Gospel According to Paul Subtitle: Embracing the Good News at the Heart of Paul's Teachings Author: John MacArthur Narrator: Maurice England Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 24 mins Language: English Release date: 04-04-17 Publisher: Thomas Nelson Publishers Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 55 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: From master expositor and Bible teacher John MacArthur, a revelatory exploration of what the Apostle Paul actually taught about the good news of Jesus. The Apostle Paul penned a number of important passages in his letters to the early church that summarize the Gospel message in just a few well-chosen words. Each of these key texts has a unique emphasis highlighting some essential aspect of the good news. The chapters in this remarkable new book closely examine those vital Gospel texts, one verse at a time. John MacArthur, host of the popular media ministry Grace to You, president of The Master's College and Seminary, and longtime pastor at Grace Community Church, tackles such questions as: What is the Gospel? What are the essential elements of the message? How can we be certain we have it right? And how should Christians be proclaiming the good news to the world? As always, the answers John MacArthur gives are clear, compelling, well reasoned, easy to grasp, and, above all, thoroughly biblical. The Gospel According to Paul, which follows in the tradition of MacArthur's best sellers The Gospel According to Jesus and The Gospel According to the Apostles, is written in a style that is easily accessible to laypeople, including those who know very little about the Bible, while being of great value to seasoned pastors and experienced ministers. It explains the rich and complete Gospel preached by Paul and its perfect harmony with the teachings of our Lord and the writers of the New Testament. Members Reviews: excellent... way to spend your time be encouraged in regards to what the Bible teaches. Excellent! Excellent, Biblical view of the gospel. It is so rich with truth I will be listening to it again. Paul Good book, liked how it talks about Christ first. Any one looking for more information about Paul should read this book Justice without mercy this is an excellent resource for those who stand in the view of the Justice of God but neglects the mercy of God.

Title: The Case for a Creator Author: Lee Strobel Narrator: Lee Strobel Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 43 mins Language: English Release date: 10-05-04 Publisher: Zondervan Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 649 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: But today science is pointing in a different direction. In recent years, a diverse and impressive body of research has increasingly supported the conclusion that the universe was intelligently designed. At the same time, Darwinism has faltered in the face of concrete facts and hard reason. Has science discovered God? At the very least, it's giving faith an immense boost as new findings emerge about the incredible complexity of our universe. Join Strobel as he re-examines the theories that once led him away from God. Through his compelling account, you'll encounter the mind-stretching discoveries from cosmology, cellular biology, DNA research, astronomy, physics, and human consciousness that present astonishing evidence in The Case for a Creator. Critic Reviews: "This solid introduction to the most important topics in origins debates is highly accessible and packs a good argumentative punch." (Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Excellent Summary of Apologetics Here is a book by one of my favorite authors who does his customary, excellent job presenting the facts in support of the Biblical account of creation. He does not fall into the trap of "young Earth" creationism, but acknowledges that God cared enough to create a world that was perfect for human life, even though it took Him billions of years to prepare stars with just the right materials to sustain carbon-based life forms (i.e. all the living creatures including us). There are books that treat this subject in more depth, but Lee Strobel's style of presentation makes it accessible even to the open-minded agnostic. I would highly recommend it. Case closed...or opened? Don't hesitate to purchase this book. Strobel's questions & answers, interviews and overall approach is top shelf. The concepts/ideas dealt with in this book are a great index and introduction to many of the established sciences, pointing towards identifying a transcendent creator as the causal agent for humanity. What could be more applicable to your life than coming to know who God is? If you have struggled with faith issues based on evolution, cosmology, biology, chemistry, philosophy, etc...this book is worth the read. I can think of no greater crime to the "self" than to not explore the information that is available to us today in favor of a personal transcendent creator. Reading this book is a great start on a journey towards learning who we are and how God has finely crafted our universe for the benefit of humanity. Very Thorough, Very Broad, Well Written & Read I was very impressed with the breadth of this book regarding the evidences for a creator. Having read many science-related books on topics covered by Stroebel, I was surprised at how many points (and even obscure and esoteric ones at that) the author addressed, such as superstring theory, modern inflationary models of the universe, alternate parallel universes, etc.... I enjoyed the topical approach to the book - having separate chapters deal with biochemistry, astophysics, physics, biology, chemistry, etc... This kept things from becoming too fragmented & disorganized. The interview format of the book also worked well. I appreciated how the author pointed out the fact that many naturalists (agnostic and/or athiest) have trouble reconciling many of the matters addressed in this book.

Are you intrigued by it, or are you terrified? R.C. Sproul clearly identifies this attribute of God and all the associations one may make with it. This absolutely will inform and radically cause a re-thinking of one's view of God. ©2000 R.C. Sproul; (P)2008 christianaudio.com Members Reviews: Great book. Really adds thought to how I see God. What made the experience of listening to The Holiness of God the most enjoyable? The conversational tone was wonderful. What did you like best about this story? This book really caused me to sit back and wonder if my understanding of God is sufficient or if I can learn more. It really made me want to dig deeper into the Bible to look for aspects of God I never thought of before. Good...I struggled a bit, makes one think. Learning more about GOD will makes one think. Loved the difference between His name & title. Great Theology from R.C. Sproul! Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? I would easily recommend this book to anyone that is interested in learning about good solid theology. R.C. Sproul always brings the truth of the Gospel home in a manner that is clear, yet understandable. What did you like best about this story? This book clearly defines and explains the Holiness of God! Sproul does his usual job of clarifying challenging verses, and concepts, while not making the reader (listener) feel like a fool. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Would love to, but the time and the depth of the subject matter is too deep for just one sitting. Great book! Classic! Dr. Sproul's book should be read by all Christians! You will not want to stop listening. excellent read loved it. really helps understand God's holiness and our fallen nature. RC Sproul is a master at teaching subjects that might be difficult to laymen.

Grace Is Greater Audiobook by Kyle Idleman

Title: Grace Is Greater Subtitle: God's Plan to Overcome Your Past, Redeem Your Pain, and Rewrite Your Story Author: Kyle Idleman Narrator: Kyle Idleman Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 32 mins Language: English Release date: 02-28-17 Publisher: christianaudio.com Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 129 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: The writer of the letter to the Hebrews said, "See to it that no one misses the grace of God." Over the centuries much ink has been spilled on the subject of grace. Yet perhaps nothing is as hard to explain as God's grace. It doesn't make sense. It's not fair. It can't possibly cover over what I've done. The best way - perhaps the only real way - to understand it is to experience it. But too often in our churches we're not getting grace across and grace is not experienced. Best-selling author and pastor Kyle Idleman wants everyone to experience the grace of God. Through the powerful medium of story, Grace Is Greater leads listeners past their hang-ups toward an understanding of grace that is bigger than our mistakes, our failures, our desire for revenge, and our seemingly impossible situations. No sin is so great, no bitterness so deep that God's grace cannot transform the heart and rewrite the story. Perfect for individuals and also for small groups and church-wide studies, Grace Is Greater will help listeners truly grasp God's grace, even if the Christians around them have failed to live it. Members Reviews: Great book! Very encouraging! Kyle Idleman is a great narrator. He makes it feel like he is sitting next to you having a conversation, rather than reading a book. I was left feeling very encouraged and hopeful after each chapter. I recommend this book to anyone who is feeling down on themselves or their faith. This book renewed me and my faith! Poignant and well presented A wonderful book to both challenge and encourage. I can't think of a single person who wouldn't benefit from the truths in this book. WOW, WHAT I NEEDED This is exactly what I needed. What a humbling listen, at a time when I needed it most. Thanks There's no saving face with saving grace. Unmerited, unwarranted, uncalled for, and no other love equivalent or sufficient. Grace is always greater. I loved this book It was awesome. Kyle does a great job reminding me of how wonderful Gods Grace is

Miracles Audiobook by C. S. Lewis

Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/612/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Miracles Author: C. S. Lewis Narrator: Julian Rhind-Tutt Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 23 mins Language: English Release date: 05-13-14 Publisher: HarperAudio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 139 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: "The central miracle asserted by Christians is the Incarnation. They say that God became Man. Every other miracle prepares the way for this, or results from this." This is the key statement of Miracles, in which C. S. Lewis shows that a Christian must not only accept but rejoice in miracles as a testimony of the unique personal involvement of God in his creation. Using his characteristic lucidity and wit to develop his argument, Lewis challenges the rationalists, agnostics, and deists on their own grounds and provides a poetic and joyous affirmation that miracles really do occur in our everyday lives. Members Reviews: Brilliant, but... Though the caliber of the work is every bit worthy of its author, it is, at times, too dense for an audiobook. Perhaps better to purchase in print. sound, shrewd, well articulated, and well read. Lewis politely and patiently builds a sound case for the reality of the Christian miracles. Along the way he corrects common misconceptions and errors including those made by regular people and even philosophers like David Hume. His shrewd insight and wealth of knowledge and excellent literary abilities make this one of my favorite books. In addition, the narrator read it very well. CJB This is a very philosophical book on the difference between naturalism and Christianity. There are many occasions where C.S. Lewis is very technical and the book requires your undivided attention in order to keep up. With that in mind, I would still recommend it for anyone wanting to view the world objectively and not anecdotely. He makes a multitude of great points to support the existence of miracles and the world that harbors them. Inspiring Takes great concentration and focusing only on the book and nothing else, because the narrator is English and many difficult words and ideas are presented. It is very worth the effort. Lewis at his Best, Brilliant The intellectual agnostic will find themselves in a bar fight with a Navy SEAL, or in a viper pit wearing flip-flops. He knows the Skeptic because he was a brilliant one, a burned out wounded War vet, and then... the most unlikely convert, you will need to think about each chapter, worth the study.

The manna she shares is from God but her invitation and inspiration are so naturally human and feminine. Mrs. Clarkson offers her own lessons in strength and weakness to help us grow in Christ and better serve those we love. Savor this book as it, like our lives are gifts. I particularly enjoyed the questions that complete each chapter and help me to take positive steps forward in grace. Inspiring and encouraging! Hearing Sally's thoughts now as a seasoned mother inspired me in my journey of motherhood. I highly recommend this book! Love!! Life changing, must read!!! I would recommend this book for anyone willing to hear a beautiful story on the love for God and take into account our own life story we have. Praying with you A very good book for women of all ages.

Title: Master Plan of Evangelism Author: Robert Coleman Narrator: Scott Grunden Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 17 mins Language: English Release date: 01-12-09 Publisher: christianaudio.com Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 147 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Instead of drawing on the latest popular fad or the newest selling technique, Robert E. Coleman looks to the Bible to find the answer to the question, What was Christ's strategy for evangelism? Through a thorough examination of the gospel accounts, Coleman points out unchanging, simple, yet profound biblical principles of how to emulate Christ to others. Members Reviews: A Christian Classic - Boringly Narrated With all due respect to the revered place this volume holds in church history (yes, its old enough that I consider it historic!), this edition falls prey to what seems to be an all-too-common problem with "christian" audiobooks: The narrator makes it almost impossible to want to keep listening. I'm certain Mr. Grunden is a great guy. But this book, though chock-full of biblical truths and important life applications, is no page-turner on its own; and the narration turned it into what for me was nothing short of a snoozefest. I am making sure from now on, that I sample all narrations of "christian" titles to try and size up whether I can actually make it through the selection. I hate buying books that I can't finish. I made it through Master Plan... but just barely. Very educational. Revealing what we alredy know. Very educational. This book reveals what already know in our hearts to be tested and true. go ye therefore---- make disciples!!!

.
awesome, spiri awakening, an easy listening book that changes your views on evangelism today, Wow!!! fantastic Every Christian leader should read this! It will impact every facet of their ministry and will change their mentality from impersonal mass evangelism to individual discipleship. thank you Lord it was simple truth and is doable. I'm encouraged to be fruitful and will be. Amen! I like the straightforward approach of sharing the scriptures without much human philosophy.

Jesus Audiobook by James Martin

Title: Jesus Subtitle: A Pilgrimage Author: James Martin Narrator: James Martin Format: Unabridged Length: 18 hrs and 2 mins Language: English Release date: 03-11-14 Publisher: HarperAudio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 473 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: A gifted storyteller and spiritual director, Father James Martin, SJ, invites listeners to experience the stories of the Gospels in a completely new, vivid, and exciting way to gain a deeper understanding of Jesus. Moving sequentially through the Gospels, considering not only familiar passages but also the "hidden life" of Jesus, the book offers a bold retelling of the life of Christ, faithful to the Christian tradition, while meditating on parts of the narrative that have often escaped notice. Martin provides personal stories from his own life, the most up-to-date biblical scholarship, and powerful anecdotes from beloved spiritual teachers, and brings the listener along on his own real-life travels through the Holy Land. Combining the fascinating insights of historical Jesus studies with profound spiritual reflections about the Christ of faith, Martin re-creates the world of first-century Galilee and Judea to usher us into Jesus's life and times and reveal how Jesus speaks to us today. Jesus: A Pilgrimage is an invitation to know Jesus as Father Martin knows him: Messiah and Savior, as well as friend and brother. Members Reviews: Loved it When I began I felt like I missed parts because there was so much information so then I realized that I had focus on listening rather than having it as "background" By the end I was wanting more and didn't want it to end. It made me think and changed my perspective on a lot of the stories I grew up hearing. I would recommend to anyone who doesn't feel like it's possible to "know" Jesus. This book changed my mind I Never Thought I'd Say This, But. . . Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? I'm recommending this book to anyone of any faith who is interested in spirituality. Following the process of St. Ignatius Loyola, Fr. James Martin (a Jesuit priest) shows us how to pray in a different way. He uses his own experience of prayer, in connection with his one visit to the Holy Land, to teach a very simple but also very exciting way to get beyond the recitation of words to a real understanding of spirituality. For the Catholic reader, this book also will teach how to understand the Church's approach to Sacred Scripture. Fr. Martin reads this book himself, and he is the best one to do it, having lived the experiences he describes. I can't recommend this audiobook enough! Visiting the Holy Land with James and Jesus Listening to this book I felt like I was there on pilgrimage with James Martin and his friend and fellow priest George. I felt the broiling heat of the sun and the cool breezes from the Sea of Galilee. I could sense the occasional mundane sites with their cheap trinkets being sold to bored tourists claiming some Biblical event may have happened there. But I could also hear the thunder and the roar of the waves sinking the boat as Jesus crossed the sea and I could hear His voice as He stood and calmed the sea. I could hear Him speak as He preached to the people sitting in a simple fishing boat at a natural amphitheater at the Sea of Galilee. I almost shivered from touching the cold stone slab on which the dead body of Jesus was prepared for burial.

The Principle of the Path Audiobook by Andy Stanley

Title: The Principle of the Path Subtitle: How To Get from Where You Are to Where You Want to Be Author: Andy Stanley Narrator: Jon Gauger Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 7 mins Language: English Release date: 03-31-09 Publisher: Oasis Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 279 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: It's called the principle of the path. And not only does it explain the disappointment and regret that characterize the lives of so many, but it also provides a way for you to be the exception. As you are about to discover, the principle of the path is at work in your life every single day. Once embraced, this compelling principle will empower you to identify and follow the path that leads to your desired destination. And this same principle will enable you to avoid life-wasting detours along the way. Members Reviews: Excellent Book If you are looking for a practical, no-nonsense, Christian perspective to getting your life on the right track???this is an excellent read/listen. I???ve heard Andy Stanly many times (via podcast) and although the author does not read it, the narrator does a good job in keeping similar nuances. Very few non-fiction books have captured my attention to listen multiple times; I am on my 3rd time through this book. Great Practical Success Book For Christians This book is a great practical success book for Christians. I like Pastor Stanley's statement that it's your direction, not your intention, that determines your destination. It's not what you want to do or plan to do - it's the little habits you indulge in every day - that will eventually lead you to your final destination. Great truth that will set you free to achieve the best in your life. Great , wish I could have read this book earlier very good read, practical application for every day living. Love it and would highly recommend it to everyone One of the best ever ... Any additional comments? This book is one of the best books that I have ever read. It covers one of the most important themes (or principles) in life. It illustrates the crucial principle of the path vivdly with well-told personal stories. The book is a critically important key to changing anyone's life - that is, change in any aspect of life. It is not primarily a christian book, a religous book, and definitely not one of those self-help self-improvement guides. It accurately and objectively introduces the principle of the path and shows how it affects everything in life, such as gravity affecting everything on planet earth. Whether you like it or nor, and whether you know about the priciple of the path or not, it always applies like gravity would whether you know about it not. Its an excellent must-read (or must-listen). I intend to read it annually from now on. I recommend it highly! Awesome! So glad I got this! Great to listen for anyone!! Love Andy Stanley. I'd recommend for anyone to read this.

Subtitle: Make Vision Boards Work for You Author: Terri Savelle Foy Narrator: Terri Savelle Foy Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 6 mins Language: English Release date: 07-21-16 Publisher: Terri Savelle Foy Ministries Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 120 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: When the vision is clear, the results will appear. Clarity about your dreams is the single most important step to success! In this book, Terri Savelle Foy shares her journey of using vision boards to accomplish great things and shows how you can, too. Discover how vision boards work, what to do after you've made them, and the hidden key to living your dreams. Find out how you can open your imagination and have that childlike faith to believe that anything is possible, and turn your dreams into reality. Members Reviews: Always awesome! It's been a while since I listened to a book by Terri. I've loved her books and YouTube videos for years. This book is really a master piece if you ask me. Teri's simple, easy-to-follow instruction on how to get results in your life is laid out perfectly in this book. If you do what she says you will succeed in your goals and dreams. Terry's use of scriptures to help one connect Gods ways with a true workable success plan is really awesome in this work. I highly recommend this book. I'm going to buy copies for friends and family. Thanks Terri! Blessing! Wrote my vision, made it plain! This is an awesome book. I absolutely love how she backs everything up with scripture. I've heard of plenty people and their own experiences with vision boards, but after reading this, my board went to the next level. I was able to be more specific with my images and really began to thank God for the vision he placed in my heart. I've even written down my goals with proper intention, and specific deadlines. Now I command my day and thank Him for partnering with me to fulfill what is already given to me. Awesome read. About to listen again for more insight. Hab 2:2!!! EXTREMELY HELPFUL & THOROUGH! This audiobook is a great resource for learning about Vision Boards and how to make and use them to set visual goals towards your DREAMS being fulfilled! I LOVED IT. You will too! Tony Re-inspired One of the many quotes that I love from this book is "Give yourself permission to dream big." This book has helped me to do just that. It's easy to get caught in the day-to-day rat race or find yourself unmotivated to dream big again. This book has re-inspired me and after the first day of reading it I began to see how my way of living has changed. I've begun the 30-day challenge and have encouraged my friends to do the same. So inspiring At first I thought how could you possibly say a book full of words when making a dream board. Boy I was wrong. It was because of all the details I can actually do a board because I throughly understand the reasoning and the process. I also appreciate the scripture references. I really enjoyed this book not only for myself but so that I can encourage others to live out the dreams that God has put in their heart.

The History of Christianity: From the Disciples to the Dawn of the Reformation Audiobook

Title: The History of Christianity: From the Disciples to the Dawn of the Reformation Author: The Great Courses, Luke Timothy Johnson Narrator: Professor Luke Timothy Johnson Format: Original Recording Length: 17 hrs and 57 mins Language: English Release date: 07-08-13 Publisher: The Great Courses Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 165 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: How did a persecuted sect in 1st-century Palestine rise to command such a massive influence on human culture, imagination, and spirit? How did Christianity weather the first critical stages of its historical development and attain its fundamental and enduring cultural role? Speaking incisively to all of this and more, these 36 enthralling lectures tell the phenomenal story of Christianity's first 1,500 years, in all its remarkable diversity and complex dimension. In the company of Professor Johnson of Emory University, you'll follow the dramatic trajectory of Christianity from its beginnings as a "cult of Jesus" to its rise as a fervent religious movement; from its emergence as an unstoppable force within the Roman Empire to its critical role as an imperial religion; from its remarkable growth, amid divisive disputes and rivalries, to the ultimate schism between Eastern Orthodoxy and Western Catholicism; and from its spread throughout the Western world to its flowering as a culture that shaped Europe for 800 years. Throughout this series, you'll look deeply into the nature and role of faith, the ethos of our civilization, and the core conceptions of identity and ethics that underlie the Western worldview. This is history in the most vivid and meaningful sense of the word: an inquiry into the past that opens a compelling awareness of our present-of our living origins, our ultimate horizons, our deeper selves. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio. Members Reviews: An Overview of the First Half of Christian History Any additional comments? This lecture series (the great courses are a lecture series rather than a strict audiobook) was a good overview of the first half of Christian history going from the world of Christ to the reformers and reform movements just before the time of the Protestant Reformation. The lecturer as a Christian himself, a biblical scholar, and a capable historian has a fairer perspective on the events than some more purely academic religious scholars might. Anyone who is interested in the subject will benefit from the content in this book. As someone who has read widely on Christian history, I did have a few small disappointments. The content did not seem as thorough or capturing as some of the books I had read previously on the subject. I also found the lecturers voice and style to be a little boring at times. I should also note that those interested in learning about some of the "outside" groups in Christianity (Coptic Church, Ethiopian church, oriental church, etc.) will find these groups mentioned, but not expounded on in great detail. In summary this is an interesting and fair introduction, but I do think you can find better books for those new to this subject or interested in learning more. If this had been my first book on Christian history, I don't think I would have been as eager for a second... but I am sure those who are interested will enjoy the read and scholarship it represents. Not for novice. Not for novice. Much terminology used but difficult to research when just listening.

The Map of Heaven Audiobook by Eben Alexander M.D.

Title: The Map of Heaven Subtitle: How Science, Religion, and Ordinary People Are Proving the Afterlife Author: Eben Alexander M.D. Narrator: Eben Alexander M.D. Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 50 mins Language: English Release date: 10-07-14 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 337 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: The author of the number-one New York Times best seller Proof of Heaven teams up with the sages of times past, modern scientists, and with ordinary people who have had profound spiritual experiences to show the reality of heaven and our true identities as spiritual beings. WhenProof of Heaven was published, some people contacted Dr. Eben Alexander to argue that his near death experience was impossible. But many more have written to say his story resonated with them in profound ways. Because of what these people have told him, Dr. Alexander has come to realize that sharing his story has allowed people to believe what so many in ancient times knew: there is more to life, and to the universe, than this single earthly life. Dr. Alexander met and heard from thousands of individuals whom his story has affected. He also studied what the worlds religious traditions, and its philosophers, have had to say about the souls survival of death, and he has been deeply surprised at how often those voices from the past synch up with what he heard from people today. In The Map of Heaven, he shares some of the stories that the people have told him and links them up with what the worlds spiritual traditions have to say about the journey of the soul. Part metaphysical detective story, part manual for living, The Map of Heaven explores humankinds spiritual history and the birth of modern science in the 17th century, showing how we forgot, and are now at last remembering, who we really are and what our true destiny really is. Members Reviews: Wonderful book I thoroughly enjoyed Dr. Alexander's first book, "Proof of Heaven", and so was looking forward to this one. I was not disappointed. The book synthesizes scientific and religious evidence of heaven, gently chiding both for their preconceived dogmas, and liberally salts it with accounts both from others' research and from letters Dr. Alexander received. The book presents a compelling case, with steps to move forward. Recommended. Lovely sequel to Proof of Heaven and NDE studies If you could sum up The Map of Heaven in three words, what would they be? Life is Eternal What other book might you compare The Map of Heaven to and why? All of the many books on Near Death experience What does Eben Alexander bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? His personal commitment to the fileld of NDE's from his own experience and his role as a key figure in promoting the field of NDE research including symposiums and conferences and the many researchers he has dialoged with since his own NDE. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? The Love of Heaven Any additional comments? I appreciated this collection of research and studies of the NDE experience and the current state of this new "science" of documentation and enquiry into the reality changing integration of NDE's into philosophy and psychology and ethics in to human experience and the resulting life changing effects of NDE's on all those involved with the experience and those close to those who have had NDE experiences.

Simply Christian Audiobook by N. T. Wright

Wright Narrator: Simon Prebble Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 54 mins Language: English Release date: 02-05-08 Publisher: HarperAudio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 361 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: For 2,000 years, Christianity has claimed to solve these mysteries, and this renowned biblical scholar and Anglican bishop shows that it still can today. Not since C. S. Lewis' classic summary of the faith, Mere Christianity, has such a wise and thorough scholar taken the time to explain to anyone who wants to know what Christianity really is and how it is practiced. Wright makes the case for Christian faith from the ground up, assuming that the reader has no knowledge of (and perhaps even some aversion to) religion in general and Christianity in particular. Simply Christian walks the listener through the Christian faith step by step and question by question. With simple yet exciting and accessible prose, Wright challenges skeptics by offering explanations for even the toughest doubt-filled dilemmas, leaving believers with a reason for renewed faith. For anyone who wants to travel beyond the controversies that can obscure what the Christian faith really stands for, this simple book is the perfect vehicle for that journey. Members Reviews: Excellent Tom Wright is always a pleasure to read - well thought-out and based on knowledge of both the Bible and contemporary society. I don't always agree with him but he never offers an ill-considered opinion. By the way, because Wright is a conservative English bishop, I think he would be amused to be called an America-hating liberal! A Revelation The best book covering the entirety of Christianity that I have ever experienced. I have been a believer for 30 years, yet learned incredible amounts from Simply Christian. This is a great book for the new Christian, the seeker, the curious, or the seasoned believer. Excellent book Ignore people that try to paint N.T. Wright as liberal. He is not and this book is the farthest thing from liberal. Simply Christian is a sort of Mere Christianity for our day. Because Wright is Anglican there is a slight bent toward a sacramental way of living and this comes out in his discussion of baptism, the Eucharist and what happens in Christian worship. Being Episcopalian myself, I found this refreshing. The narrator is excellent and I've recommended this book to many. An Amazing Book I have read this book and wanted to be able to listen to it. It is a joy to listen to NT Wright's thoughts on Christianity. Wright brings great Biblical knowledge. Simply Christian is this generation's Mere Christianity. Outstanding! My education continues!

Members Reviews: Absolutely reasoned apologetic As the author states this audiobook is designed to be learned not just listened to. This is the most rigorously reasoned apologetic work available. I just finished my first time listening through the entire volume. I now cannot wait to start one section at a time for memorization. I will use this book for my lifetime to bolster my ability to reason with others about the faith. I cannot thank Dr Craig enough for his excellent apologetic work and faithful commitment to Christianity! enlightened well written and understandable. much of the information was very technical. what I found myself doing was rewinding and listening to it again because the information was very vast kjones William Lane Craig delivered an excellent overarching view of Christian apologetics and the arguments both for and against Christianity. awesome clears up a whole lot of questions in comprehensible terms and easy to memorize arguments for Gods existance I am going to listen a second time to this book. loved it. Dr. Craig is a brilliant scholar with such a great love for God.

Title: Lead Like Jesus Author: Ken Blanchard, Bill Hybels, Rick Warren Narrator: Ken Blanchard, Bill Hybels, Rick Warren Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs Language: English Release date: 07-15-05 Publisher: Oasis Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 281 votes Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Publisher's Summary: Lead Like Jesus is a new concept to help people take God out of the spiritual compartment of their private spiritual life and give Him free reign in all their daily actions and relationships, especially their leadership roles. Jesus set the basic foundation for the leadership journey throughout His ministry. During His time on earth, Jesus poured His life into the training of His disciples in the first three leadership arenas, and during that process, He equipped them to follow His leadership philosophy after He was gone as they moved to the organizational level and attempted to establish the church. Members Reviews: This is a lecture not a book This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? This is not a book but a lecture. DO NOT buy this if you want to hear the book. What could the authors have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? The title is VERY misleading. They should have stated that it is a talk about how they wrote the book. Not A Book Any additional comments? When I searched for this audio book and downloaded it, I fully expected to get the full audio of the book, "Lead Like Jesus," and not a recording of a seminar. The seminar was helpful and interesting, but did not go in-depth like I was expecting from a book. Still worthwhile to listen to, but I definitely feel misled. Not a book This is a recording of a seminar. It's ok. I listened twice, and got a few things out of it. It's mostly a pep rally more than "how to." this audio isn't the book This is false advertising, it should be called the making of the book. It is a meeting or conference recorded between the authors- not the text of the book being read- Not the book. This is a seminar Do not buy this if you are looking for the audiobook. It is not. Very misleading.

Critic Reviews: "I know of no more authentically biblical, more reliably Catholic, or more exciting theologian in the world today than Scott Hahn." (Peter Kreeft, Professor of Philosophy, Boston College) Members Reviews: Awesome! Explains God's Love and Mercy. Where does A Father Who Keeps His Promises rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? This book top them all when it comes to understanding God's Will in the Old Testament. What did you like best about this story? How Scott simplifies everything that I at first found difficult to comprehend. Which character as performed by Paul Smith was your favorite? God Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? No matter how much God's people betrayed Him, He always stood by them and even gave them Him only Son. Any additional comments? Many Christians know the New Testament and are bewildered or confused by the Old Testament. Scott Hahn simplifies the Old Testament and makes it so easy to understand the connections with the New Testament. Thank you Scott Hahn! Great spiritual and scriptural reflection. What made the experience of listening to A Father Who Keeps His Promises the most enjoyable? Listening to Scott Hahn's explanation and understanding of man's relationship with God through His covenants through time. Uplifting Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes. It is informative and encouraging. It is also a great study of salvation history from a Catholic perspective. Would you be willing to try another one of Paul Smiths performances? Not likely. The one negative about the book is that the reader just didn't seem all that interested in what he was reading. The beginning was especially difficult to listen to and then the performance got a bit better, then flat, then better - I think you get the idea. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? No. The subject matter needed time to digest. Any additional comments? Dr. Hahn has a great talent in writing in that he can make heady theology approachable to all levels. When he speaks he is very engaging. Publishers of audio books should take better care in matching readers to the authors. Good introduction to the Old Testament What did you love best about A Father Who Keeps His Promises? Scott Hahn introduces the Old Testament by pointing out how it is the story of God's creation of man, his promise of salvation, and how despite man constantly straying from God through sin and infidelity, God always keeps his promise to man and stays with him. What other book might you compare A Father Who Keeps His Promises to and why? If you like this book, you will also like Peter Kreeft's "You Too Can Read The Bible". This book (Hahn's) focuses more on the beginning of the Bible and goes deeper here. Kreeft's book gives a brief overview of just about every book in the Bible, but not in as much detail.
