Title: Beautiful and Terrible Things: Faith, Doubt, and Discovering a Way Back to Each Other

Author: Amy Butler

Narrator: Amy Butler

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 7 hours 2 minutes

Release date: October 3, 2023

Genres: Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

From one of America’s most prominent ministers comes an inspiring, provocative reflection on the necessity of community, the inevitability of conflict, and the transformative power of radical love. “I so love and admire the work and witness of Pastor Amy Butler.”—Anne Lamott “Here is the world. Beautiful and terrible things will happen. Don’t be afraid,” said theologian Frederick Buechner. Pastor Amy Butler, the first woman at the helm of New York’s historic Riverside Church, knows firsthand that to navigate such a world, one must be courageous, honest, and compassionate. In Beautiful and Terrible Things, Pastor Amy draws on the most meaningful, challenging, and soul-shaking moments of her own life to offer larger lessons on theology and relationships. Pastor Amy grew up in a conservative Evangelical family in the diverse culture of the Hawaiian Islands. As she realized she was more inclined to be a pastor than to marry one, she began an unlikely journey, breaking one stained-glass ceiling after another. Holding increasingly high-profile ministry positions in New Orleans, Washington, D.C., and New York City, Amy weathered rigidly unwelcoming congregations and enormous trials, ultimately learning that only the radical love of community could generate healing. As she describes her experiences leading a church to publicly affirm its LGBTQ community members, losing a child, and undergoing an unexpected divorce, Amy offers a thoughtful lens on all the ways life can push us to see the world from another’s perspective. In her signature compassionate, witty voice, she offers fresh, nonjudgmental perspectives on faith—which, at its most beautiful expression, allows for the possibility that there is more than one way to experience God.

OVER TWO MILLION COPIES SOLD! It's the most powerful force in the universe, our only hope for love and forgiveness, and a foretaste of eternal life: amazing, radical, life-changing grace. Millions of lives have been changed by award-winning author Philip Yancey's startling exploration of grace at street level. Grace is the one thing the world can't duplicate, the healing force we need, and the key to transforming a broken world. In this revised and updated edition of his personal and provocative book, Yancey offers true portraits of grace's life-changing power. These stories, set in the midst of life's stark realities, evoke such questions as: - If grace is God's love for the undeserving, how do I get it? - How well are we dispensing grace to a world that knows far more of strife and unforgiveness than it does of mercy? - Can grace make a difference in the midst of such atrocities as the Nazi holocaust, and how can it withstand the brutality of hate?   With powerful stories, rich theology, and practical suggestions, Yancey challenges us to become living answers to a world that desperately needs to know, What's So Amazing About Grace? Reflection questions are included in the audiobook companion PDF download.

Title: Don't Follow Your Heart: Boldly Breaking the Ten Commandments of Self-Worship

Author: Thaddeus J. Williams

Narrator: Full Cast

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 6 hours 6 minutes

Release date: October 3, 2023

Genres: Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

Read by the author. Why chasing after expressive individualism, experiences, and desires always fails to deliver on its promise of happiness. Today we are told to be true to ourselves, look within for answers, and follow our hearts. But when we put our own happiness first, we experience record-breaking levels of aimlessness, loneliness, depression, and anxiety. Self-centeredness always fails to deliver the fulfillment we're seeking. In Don't Follow Your Heart, Thaddeus Williams debunks the 'ten commandments of self-worship,' which include popular propaganda, like: - #liveyourbestlife: Thou shalt always act in accord with your chief end—to glorify and enjoy yourself forever. - #followyourheart: Thou shalt obey your emotions at all costs. - #yolo: Thou shalt pursue the rush of boundary-free experience. Williams builds a case that this type of self-worship is not authentic, satisfying, or edgy. Instead, its rehashing what is literally humanity's oldest lie. He calls on a new generation of mavericks and renegades, heretics who refuse to march in unison with the self-obsessed herd. With a fascinating blend of theology, philosophy, science, psychology, and pop culture, Williams points us to a life beyond self-defeating dogmas to a more meaningful life centered on Someone infinitely more interesting, satisfying, and awesome than ourselves. Featuring stories from Carl Trueman, Joni Eareckson Tada, J.P, Moreland, Josh McDowell, Alisa Childers, and more. 'Following the herd is leading our generation off a cliff. Maybe a little heresy can do us a lot of good.' —Collin Hansen Field guides, graphics, manifesto, and signatories are included in the audiobook companion PDF download.

Title: Intentional: Living Out the Eight Principles of Disciple Making

Author: Brandon Guindon

Narrator: Josh Childs

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 4 hours 39 minutes

Release date: September 12, 2023

Genres: Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

Rediscover the intentional disciple making methods of Jesus Christ. Today, churches and their leaders relentlessly pursue innovation of the next new idea that will somehow capture the attention of the spiritually lost, yet very few Christians know how to walk out a day-to-day lifestyle of intentional disciple making. Drawing from decades of experience making disciples, pastor Brandon Guindon will show you how Jesus' call to 'Go and Make Disciples' can become more than just a vague church slogan when we relearn the discipleship methods that Jesus modeled for us. Intentional introduces eight principles of disciple making, exposing their gospel roots and practical nature—principles such as: - Listening with the genuine intent to understand different voices and experiences. - Looking for and developing the potential in others. - Knowing when to firmly speak the truth and when to allow yourself to be interrupted. - Living a lifestyle of discipleship yourself.   Jesus Christ intentionally discipled twelve people every day for three and a half years and then commanded us to go and make disciples as well. And he empowered us by sending us the indwelling Holy Spirit to guide us. The early church thrived and expanded by imitating the intentional relational methods Jesus modeled, yet somewhere along the way we lost sight of the simple truth that Jesus' methods of disciple making are as holy as his message. It's time relearn those methods, examine the obstacles in our lives that prevent us from imitating the ancient ways of Christ, and approach all our relationships differently—making disciples in Jesus' name and growing spiritually in the process. Activities and reflection questions are included in the audiobook companion PDF download.
