Publisher's Summary:

A revolution for women to live confidently in their God-given identity and united in the call to bring goodness to the world, adapted from Born of a Woman, from speaker and pastor of the influential Shoreline City Church. “In these pages, you will experience the beauty of a friend who says, ‘Royal sister, take a seat. We have been waiting for you!’”—Charlotte Gambill, pastor, author, and global Bible teacher We know women are meant to bring powerful and lasting goodness into the world because God repeatedly called women to do so: He trusted Mary to give birth to Jesus, Esther to save His people, and Deborah to lead His kingdom. Yet so much of our potential is limited by our own insecurity and fear. It’s time for us to stand confident in our stunning worth as royal daughters, unite in community, and walk in the unshakable hope of Christ.  In a message that’s both vibrant and conversational, Pastor Oneka McClellan reminds us that God has uniquely positioned and gifted women to be a source of life, wisdom, and strength. Through insightful biblical truths and real stories of women showing up in powerful ways, McClellan equips you to • completely trust your God-given identity • lead with courage and wisdom in any room  • fight for the flourishing of others • celebrate the greatness in every woman • see with eyes of hope that God can redeem any story To every woman who’s ever felt held back, pushed down, or disqualified from stepping fully into her purpose, McClellan’s Born Royal offers hope, encouragement, and empowerment. It also sounds a liberating call for each and every one of us—including you—to walk boldly and precisely as the women God has created us to be.

Length: 9 hours 29 minutes

Release date: April 23, 2024

Genres: Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

The Zondervan Biblical and Theological Lectures series provides a unique audio learning experience. Unlike a traditional audiobook's direct narration of a book's text, Church History in Plain Language Audio Lectures include high quality live-recordings of college-level lectures that cover the important points from each subject as well as relevant material from other sources. This is the story of the church for today. This series, based on Bruce Shelley's classic history of the church, brings the story of global Christianity into the twenty-first century. Taught by experts in the field of Christian history, each lesson tells a story of actual people, in a particular situation, taking action or being acted upon, and provides a window into the circumstances and historical context of a major period or theme of Christian history. Church History in Plain Language Audio Lectures takes a closer look at the rapid growth of evangelical and Pentecostal Christianity in the southern hemisphere, addresses the decline in traditional mainline denominations, examines the influence of technology on the spread of the gospel, and discusses how Christianity intersects with other religions in countries all over the world. Lessons add important stories of the development of Christianity in Asia, India, and Africa, both in the early church as well as in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. It also highlights the stories of women and non-Europeans who significantly influenced the development of Christianity but whose contributions are often overlooked in previous overviews of church history. This series provides an introductory guide to church history with intellectual substance. Session Titles and Runtimes: 0 - Introduction (5 min) 1 - Away with the King!

Publisher's Summary:

En GranDIOSo, John Bevere te invita a dar una nueva mirada a lo que significa trabajar en tu salvación con temor y estremecimiento. Esta virtud saludable, santa y en gran medida olvidada, es el camino poco común hacia una vida más plena y fructífera. Si miras a los hombres y mujeres en las Escrituras, los que vivieron y terminaron bien tienen una cosa en común: están marcados por el temor santo. El temor del Señor no es un tema del que se oiga hablar mucho en estos días. Pero si quieres construir una fe que se mantenga fuerte en tiempos difíciles, no puedes permitirte ignorar este libro. En este libro verás por qué el temor piadoso es el fundamento de: - La sabiduría, el entendimiento y el conocimiento - Previsión, claridad y dirección divina - Madurez y conformidad con la imagen de Jesucristo - La construcción de un legado eterno - Confianza, intrepidez y seguridad - Libertad del miedo al hombre, ya que todos los miedos menores son eclipsados GranDIOSo fue diseñado para ser leído lenta e intencionalmente.

Experimenta la relación íntima con Dios que siempre has anhelado al desentrañar este mensaje contracultural. The Awe of God In The Awe of God, John Bevere invites you to take a fresh look at what it means to work out your salvation with fear and trembling. This healthy, holy, and largely forgotten virtue is the uncommon path to a more fulfilled and fruitful life. If you look at the men and women in Scripture, the ones who lived and finish well all have one thing in common: they are marked by holy fear. The fear of the Lord is not a topic you'll hear much about these days. But if you want to build a faith that stands strong through troubled times, you cannot afford to ignore this book. In this book you will see why godly fear is the foundation of: - Wisdom, understanding, and knowledge - Foresight, clarity, and divine direction - Maturity and conformity to the image of Jesus Christ - Building an eternal legacy - Confidence, fearlessness, and security - Freedom from the fear of man as all lesser fears are eclipsed The Awe of God was designed to be read slowly and intentionally. At the end of each of the 42 chapters are five tools to help you deepen your understanding and apply what the Spirit of God is teaching you. Experience the intimate relationship with God that you have always longed for by unlocking this countercultural message.

Title: [Spanish] - No mires atrás: Liberarse y avanzar con pasión y propósito

Author: Christine Caine

Narrator: Montse Castro

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 6 hours 25 minutes

Release date: April 2, 2024

Genres: Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

Con un grito de “Recuerden a la mujer de Lot”, la profesora de Biblia, conferenciante internacional, activista y autora de best sellers Christine Caine nos motiva a dejar de mirar atrás, a desatascarnos y a seguir avanzando hacia las promesas y el propósito de Dios para nuestras vidas. Hay momentos en la vida en los que miramos hacia atrás y nos sentimos desesperados por hacer que el tiempo se detenga, sobre todo cuando nos sorprenden cambios inesperados. Pero no podemos detener el flujo de la vida, y no podemos detener el tiempo. Es más, mirar atrás no nos permite volver. La mayoría de las veces, solo hace que nos quedemos atascados. En un lugar, en un espacio, en un recuerdo, en una mentalidad, en un hábito. En Juan 17:32, Jesús entrega tres palabras “Recuerda a la mujer de Lot”, No sabemos su nombre ni su historia. Todo lo que sabemos es que cuando ella estaba huyendo de Sodoma y Gomorra, le dijeron que no mirara hacia atrás, e hizo lo único que se le pidió que no hiciera. Miró hacia atrás y se convirtió en una estatua de sal y de las 170 mujeres mencionadas en las Escrituras, ella es la única que Jesús nos dijo que recordáramos. En No mires atrás, Christine te motivará a: - dejar de mirar hacia atrás y empezar a mirar a Jesús - invitar a Jesús a entrar para que te ayude a desatascarte de los muchos lugares en los que a menudo nos encontramos; - avanzar desde donde te encuentras hacia todos los planes, propósitos y promesas de Dios para tu vida; y - mirar hacia el futuro y seguir avanzando hacia él con fe, especialmente cuando tu mundo ya no se parece en nada a lo que era antes. Jesús nos invita a avanzar hacia la novedad de lo que está por venir. Deja de descalificarte quedándote atorado en el pasado. Es hora de recordar a la mujer de Lot y no mirar atrás, sino avanzar con valentía. Don’t Look Back With a rallying cry to “Remember Lot's wife,” Bible teacher, international speaker, activist, and bestselling author Christine Caine motivates us to stop looking back, to get unstuck and to keep moving forward into God's promises and purpose for our lives. There are times in life when we look back and feel desperate to make time stand still, particularly when we get blindsided by unexpected changes. But we can't stop the flow of life, and we can't stop time. What's more, looking back doesn't enable us to go back. More often than not, it just makes us stuck. In a place. In a space. In a memory. In a mindset. In a habit. In John 17:32, Jesus drops three little words: “Remember Lot's wife.” We don’t know her name, history, or story. All we know is that when she was fleeing Sodom and Gomorrah, she was told not to look back, and she did the one thing she was asked not to do. She looked back and turned into a pillar of salt. And out of the 170 women referred to in the Scriptures, she's the only one Jesus told us to remember. In this new book, Christine will motivate you to - stop looking back and start looking to Jesus; - invite Jesus in to help you get unstuck from the many places we often find ourselves; - move on from where you are into all God's plans, purposes, and promises for your life; and - look forward to the future and keep moving toward it in faith--especially when your world is nothing like it once was. Jesus is beckoning us onward into the newness of what lies ahead. Stop disqualifying yourself by getting stuck in the past. It's time to remember Lot's wife and not look back but move forward boldly.

Title: [Spanish] - Crianza bíblica: Cultivando hijos que den fruto

Author: Héctor Salcedo

Narrator: Hector Velasco

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 5 hours 28 minutes

Release date: March 12, 2024

Genres: Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

En Crianza bíblica, Héctor Salcedo nos demuestra que la clave para enseñar, disciplinar y cultivar a nuestros hijos es poner el énfasis no solamente en lo que debemos hacer como padres sino en quienes debemos ser, con la ayuda de la Palabra de Dios. Como padres, intentamos sembrar la Palabra de Dios o “semilla” en nuestros hijos, pero antes de plantar, nos falta un paso muy importante. La crianza bíblica requiere que los padres procuren crear en el corazón de sus hijos una actitud receptiva y enseñable antes de sembrar. Crianza bíblica, es un estudio bíblico y una guía práctica para la “preparación del terreno” donde los padres van luego a “sembrar la disciplina e instrucción del Señor”. Según el autor, la crianza se compone de los siguientes elementos que se encuentran en Efesios 6:4, cada uno de los cuales debe desarrollarse adecuadamente: - “Padres” = Presencia - “No provoquen a ira...” = Terreno fértil - “Críenlos” = Devoción - “Disciplina” = Entrenamiento - “Instrucción” = Advertir o amonestar - “Del Señor” = Palabra de Dios Este material, aunque su objetivo es la crianza, trabaja mucho con los padres, pues asume que si los padres no son lo que deben ser entonces su crianza tampoco será todo lo que Dios desea. Deutoronomio 6:6 nos dice: “Estas palabras que yo te mando hoy, estarán en tu corazón…”. Es decir, antes de enseñar a nuestros hijos, debemos haber sido enseñados nosotros. Si los padres no somos discípulos fieles de la Palabra, es poco probable que seamos capaces de transmitir la verdad de Dios a la próxima generación. Biblical Parenthood In Biblical Parenthood, Hector Salcedo shows us that the key to teaching, disciplining, and nurturing our children is to focus not only what we should do as parents but what we should be, with the help of God’s Word. As parents, we try to sow God's Word or plant the 'seed' in our children, often miss an important step. Biblical parenting requires that parents seek to create in their children's hearts a receptive, teachable attitude before sowing. Biblical Parenthood is a Bible study and practical guide for 'preparing the ground' where parents will then 'sow the discipline and instruction of the Lord.'  According to the author, parenting is composed of the following elements found in Ephesians 6:4, each of which must be properly developed: - 'Fathers' = Presence. - 'Provoke them not to wrath...' = Fertile ground. - 'Nurture them' = Devotion - 'Discipline' = Training - 'Instruction' = Warn or admonish. - 'From the Lord' = Word of God Although this book is meant to help us raise our children, it focuses on parents, for it assumes that if parents are not what they should be, then their child-rearing will not be all that God intended either.  Deuteronomy 6:6 tells us, “These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts…' That is, before we teach our children, we must have been taught ourselves. If we, as parents, are not faithful disciples of the Word, it is unlikely that we will be able to pass on God's truths to the next generation.

Title: Loving Samaritans: Radical Kindness in an Us vs. Them World

Author: Terry Crist

Narrator: Terry Crist

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 8 hours 0 minutes

Release date: January 30, 2024

Genres: Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

Read by the author. You can live a radically inclusive life without compromising your beliefs or the truth of the gospel. Humanity is more divided now than ever, gridlocked over social issues, race, gender, climate change, immigration, and our responsibility to vulnerable people. How did we get here? And what can we do to build bridges where walls exist? As a pastor committed to building deep relationships with people whose life experiences are different than his own, Terry Crist knows the beauty and challenge of connecting across dividing lines of race, economic status, faith, and much more. And in this book, he shares how you can too. Profoundly weaving the story of Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well with his own stories and examples from culture today, Terry addresses how we've strayed from the unity God intended and how we can trade judgment for grace, disputes for harmony, apathy for empathy, and hate for love and acceptance. By the end of this book, you will be able to: - Identify how you personally see the world and why it matters - Recognize those on the margins who are right around you - Imitate Jesus's love for all humanity in the interactions you have with others - Extend dignity to those suffering from mental illness, homelessness, and addiction - Maintain thriving relationships when family members are on opposing sides of issues - Be an ambassador of reconciliation in your community   It doesn't have to be one or the other--you can both love God and love your neighbor.

Title: Life in the Negative World: Confronting Challenges in an Anti-Christian Culture

Author: Aaron M. Renn

Narrator: Tim Lundeen

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 5 hours 47 minutes

Release date: January 30, 2024

Ratings: Ratings of Narrator: 4 of Total 1

Genres: Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

Learning how to live in today's new social and cultural environment will require examination, trial and error, and adaptation over time. But there are ways to live with integrity and follow Christ today, even in a negative world. From a peak in church attendance in the mid-20th century, Christianity has been on a trajectory of decline in the United States. Once positive toward Christianity and Christian moral teachings, cultural shifts toward the mid-90s led many to adopt a more neutral tone toward the Christian faith, seeing it as one option among many in a pluralistic public square. Today, however, Christianity is viewed negatively, and being known as a Christian often means a lower social status in elite society. Christian morality is openly repudiated and viewed as a threat to the new moral order. In Life in the Negative World, author Aaron M. Renn looks at the lessons from Christian cultural engagement over the past 70 years and suggests specific strategies for churches, institutions, and individuals to live faithfully in the 'negative' world—a culture opposed to Christian values and teachings. And since there is no one-size-fits-all solution, living as a follower of Christ in the new, negative world and being missionally engaged will require a diversity of strategies.
