Title: Testimony: Inside the Evangelical Movement That Failed a Generation

Author: Jon Ward

Narrator: Jon Ward

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 7 hours 55 minutes

Release date: May 9, 2023

Genres: Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

Jon Ward's life is divided in half: two decades inside the evangelical Christian bubble and two decades outside of it. In Testimony, Ward tells the engaging story of his upbringing in, and eventual break from, an influential evangelical church in the 1980s and 1990s. Ward sheds light on the evangelical movement's troubling political and cultural dimensions, tracing the ways in which the Jesus People movement was seduced by materialism and other factors to become politically captive rather than prophetic. A respected journalist, Ward asks uncomfortable but necessary questions, calling those inside and outside conservative Christian circles to embrace truth, complexity, and nuance. He recounts his growing alarm and grief over the last several years as evangelical conservatives attacked truth, rejected personal character, and embraced authoritarianism and conspiracism. He shares his search for a faith that embodies the values he was taught as a child. Ward's experience and reflections will resonate with many listeners who grew up in the evangelical movement as well as all those who have an interest in the health of the church and its impact on American life.

Title: Second Thoughts About the Second Coming: Understanding the End Times, Our Future, and Christian Hope

Author: Robert D. Cornwall, Ronald J. Allen

Narrator: Adam Verner

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 5 hours 41 minutes

Release date: May 9, 2023

Genres: Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

Various ideas float around about the subject of last things, leading many Christians to conclude that they don't know what to think about the subject. Yet at the core of the Christian doctrine of last things lies two simple and complementary hopes: that God ever and always offers hope for our individual futures and for the future of the whole world. In this helpful book, Allen and Cornwall explain how we don't have to subscribe to sensationalist theories or sketchy interpretations to believe in Christian hope. They walk the listener through the central biblical teachings on last things and then show the ways the church has interpreted those teachings throughout the centuries. In a respectful way, the authors demonstrate that end-time beliefs centered on the Rapture came into existence only recently, and they then offer several more life-affirming, contemporary interpretations as alternatives. This book is designed to help pastors develop both topical and lectionary-based sermon series on Christian hope.

Title: The Exorcism Files: True Stories of Demonic Possession

Author: Adam Blai

Narrator: Lyle Blaker

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 3 hours 15 minutes

Release date: May 9, 2023

Genres: Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

Drawing from his extensive experience in assisting with cases of demonic oppression and possession, in The Exorcism Files, Adam Blai presents listeners with enlightening true stories and traces their causation. Whether people provided a gateway through Ouija boards or tarot cards, Blai reports from firsthand observation how they were lured into the occult. Blai also recounts shocking cases of participation in covens and cults under the guise of knowledge, empowerment, and liberation. This is sometimes accompanied by crimes and hauntings, which Blai also documents. An essential guide for our time, The Exorcism Files reveals numerous striking truths about the supernatural, including: the key signs of diabolic possession—and how they differ from those of oppression; how dabbling in the occult opens the door to evil; why the devil most intently attacks priestly and religious vocations; how evil can manifest itself in physical objects or symptoms; why only priests, with their bishops' permission, should perform the old solemn rite of exorcism; and how engaging in mind control and ghost hunting is flirting with evil. Blai demonstrates that there is a supernatural enemy in this world who is trying to destroy us. Our defenses are the Precious Blood of Jesus, the sacraments of the Catholic Church, Holy Scripture, and Church Tradition.

He also shows that Freemasons were significant players in the struggle for democracy that eroded the power of popes and princes

Narrator: Tom Parks

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 7 hours 7 minutes

Release date: April 26, 2023

Publisher's Summary:

Rev. Richard D. Phillips digs into the early chapters of the Gospel of John to discover principles you can use for Christian outreach that were modeled by witnesses for Jesus and by Jesus Himself. Phillips unfolds biblical principles for evangelism by examining the ministry of John the Baptist and the calling of the first of Jesus’ disciples. Then, through a brief study of the Lord’s encounter with the Pharisee Nicodemus, he presents us with a theology of the gospel. Finally, he focuses in on Jesus' stirring encounter with the Samaritan woman to show exactly how Christ shared the good news. Phillips’ clear and concise handling of these key stories will both motivate and instruct you in your witness on behalf of Christ. An appendix looks at the relationship between God’s sovereignty and evangelism.
