Title: I Found Love: True Stories of Discovering Love, Belonging, and Friendship (An I Am Second Book)

Author: Doug Bender

Narrator: Jakob Lewis

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 5 hours 27 minutes

Release date: January 12, 2021

Genres: Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

From the influential and ever-growing movement I Am Second, a remarkable collection of stories of people searching for and finding love. When I Am Second launched in 2008, the organization intended simply to tell stories of lives changed utterly by people placing God first and themselves second. Although the organization has exploded in size and influence since, that original mission has remained the same--and continues to have enormous power and influence today. I Found Love is the highly anticipated new audiobook from I Am Second, gathering together stories of people who searched everywhere for fulfillment and wholeness and found it only when they surrendered to God. People whose stories appear include the following, among others: - David and Tamela Mann - Jason Castro - Sean Lowe - Stephen Baldwin Moving, compelling, and profoundly inspiring, the stories found here remind us that our hearts will always be restless until they find their rest in God and always unsatisfied until we find the love of God.

Title: How to Fight Racism: Courageous Christianity and the Journey Toward Racial Justice

Author: Jemar Tisby

Narrator: Jemar Tisby

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 3

Genres: Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

Winner of the 2022 ECPA Christian Book Award for Faith & Culture How do we effectively confront racial injustice? We need to move beyond talking about racism and start equipping ourselves to fight against it. In this follow-up to the New York Times Bestseller the Color of Compromise, Jemar Tisby offers an array of actionable items to confront racism. How to Fight Racism introduces a simple framework—the A.R.C. Of Racial Justice—that teaches readers to consistently interrogate their own actions and maintain a consistent posture of anti-racist behavior. The A.R.C. Of Racial Justice is a clear model for how to think about race in productive ways: - Awareness: educate yourself by studying history, exploring your personal narrative, and grasping what God says about the dignity of the human person. - Relationships: understand the spiritual dimension of race relations and how authentic connections make reconciliation real and motivate you to act. - Commitment: consistently fight systemic racism and work for racial justice by orienting your life to it. Tisby offers practical tools for following this model and suggests that by applying these principles, we can help dismantle a social hierarchy long stratified by skin color. He encourages rejection passivity and active participation in the struggle for human dignity. There is hope for transforming our nation and the world, and you can be part of the solution. Accompanying graphics and tables are available in the audiobook companion PDF download.

Publisher's Summary:

In the aftermath of Jesus' resurrection, the testimonies of those who had followed him were so bold and powerful that they turned the world upside down. What would happen if we lived with that same kind of faith today? In the first century, believer didn’t just mean someone who heard and agreed with Jesus; it meant someone who acted on that belief. And when the outside world saw the faith of these new believers, they declared “they turned the world upside down” (Acts 17:6). In this follow-up to What If It's True? Charles Martin, a New York Times bestselling novelist, blends storytelling and teaching to explore the lives of the disciples in the aftermath of the Resurrection and as they spread the message of the Gospel and “turn the world upside down”, leading up to Paul’s ministry in Thessalonica. In his beloved lyrical style, Martin illuminates key moments from Scripture and shares stories from his own life as a disciple. Learn to become a believer who: - Understands how the truth of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection so powerfully reshaped history - Uses the lives of the disciples as inspiration to be the light in a dark world - Lives every moment with the disciples’ same world-changing faith today Filled with supporting Scripture and beautiful examples of prayers to offer as supplications before the throne of grace, this book will show you what our world could look like if we lived as the disciples did: with an unwavering confidence in the power and presence of God. The appendixes are available in the audiobook companion PDF download.

Publisher's Summary:

This new edition of Systematic Theology by Wayne Grudem may be the most important resource you can own for helping you understand Scripture and grow as a Christian. The most widely used resource of the last 25 years in its area, Systematic Theology by Wayne Grudem has been thoroughly revised and expanded for the first time while retaining the features that have made it the standard in its field: clear explanations, an emphasis on each doctrine's scriptural basis, and practical applications to daily life. This audiobook (Part II) includes 'The Doctrine of the Application of Redemption' (13 chapters), 'The Doctrine of the Church' (10 chapters), and 'The Doctrine of the Future' (4 chapters). Topics treated include common grace, election, the gospel call, regeneration, conversion, justification, adoption, sanctification, baptism, death, union with Christ, the church, grace, the Lord's Supper, worship, gifts of the Holy Spirit, the return of Christ, the millennium, and much more. Praise for the second edition: 'After a quarter century of remarkable usefulness globally . . . it remains remarkable. I thank God for this precious gift to Christ's people worldwide.' - John Piper 'Stands out for its clarity and accessibility.' - Thomas R. Schreiner With nearly 250 pages of new content and revisions that took several years, this new edition now includes the following distinctive features, making it even better: - Updated, fuller analysis of several recent controversies within evangelicalism, including the eternal relationship between the Father and the Son in the Trinity, the question of God's atemporal eternity, the role of women in the church, 'seeker-sensitive' churches, miraculous gifts of the Holy Spirit, and contemporary worship music. - New, thoughtful critiques of open theism, the 'new perspective on Paul,' Molinism (or 'middle knowledge'), 'Free Grace' theology, and the preterist view of Christ's second coming - Completely revised, stronger chapter on the clarity of Scripture - Completely revised, stronger chapter on creation and evolution, including a longer critique of theistic evolution and an extensive discussion on the age of the earth - New discussion of how biblical inerrancy applies to some specific 'problem verses' in the Gospels - Additional material respectfully explaining evangelical Protestant differences with Roman Catholicism (with extensive interaction with the Catechism of the Roman Catholic Church), Protestant liberalism, and Mormonism - Completely updated bibliographies - All Scripture quotations updated from RSV to ESV - An explanation of why monogenes in John 3:16 and elsewhere should be translated as 'only begotten' rather than merely 'only' (this is a change from the first edition) - New discussion on the impassibility of God - An extensive discussion on the eternal submission of the Son to the Father, taking into account controversies in recent years - A discussion of recent criticisms of the penal substitutionary view of the atonement - Numerous other updates and corrections that have be prompted by letters and emails from people around the world and by interaction with the students Wayne has taught over the last 26 years both at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School and at Phoenix Seminary Part of the brilliance of Systematic Theology over the years has been its simplicity and ease of use. Each chapter follows the same structure. First, there is discussion of the doctrine being considered, such as justification or the Trinity or the deity of Christ. An explanation of that doctrine's biblical support and possible objections follow. Personal application and key terms to know for personal growth are provided in the accompanying PDF. The accompanying PDF also includes a Scripture memory passage, references to other literature on the topic, and suggested hymns and worship songs. If you are someone who thinks theology is hard to understand or boring, then this new edition of Systematic Theology will likely change your mind. The appendixes referenced in both parts of the audiobook are available in the audiobook companion PDF download that accompanies part 2.

Title: The Saint Makers: Inside the Catholic Church and How a War Hero Inspired a Journey of Faith

Author: Joe Drape

Narrator: Kiff Vandenheuvel

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 6 hours 13 minutes

Release date: December 1, 2020

Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 1

Genres: Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

Part biography of a wartime adventurer, part detective story, and part faith journey, this intriguing book from a New York Times journalist and bestselling author takes us inside the modern-day making of a saint. The Saint Makers chronicles the unlikely alliance between Father Hotze and Dr. Andrea Ambrosi, a country priest and a cosmopolitan Italian canon lawyer, as the two piece together the life of a long dead Korean War hero and military chaplain and fashion it into a case for eternal divinity. Joe Drape offers a front row seat to the Catholic Church's saint-making machinery—which, in many ways, has changed little in two thousand years-and examines how, or if, faith and science can co-exist. This rich and unique narrative leads from the plains of Kansas to the opulent halls of the Vatican, through brutal Korean War prison camps, and into the stories of two individuals, Avery Gerleman and Chase Kear, whose lives were threatened by illness and injury and whose family and friends prayed to Father Kapaun, sparking miraculous recoveries in the heart of America. Gerleman is now a nurse, and Kear works as a mechanic in the aerospace industry. Both remain devoted to Father Kapaun, whose opportunity for sainthood relies in their belief and medical charts. At a time when the church has faced severe scandal and damage, and the world is at the mercy of a pandemic, this is an uplifting story about a priest who continues to an example of goodness and faith. Ultimately, The Saint Makers is the story of a journey of faith—for two priests separated by seventy years, for the two young athletes who were miraculously brought back to life with (or without) the intercession of the divine, as well as for readers—and the author—trying to understand and accept what makes a person truly worthy of the Congregation of Saints in the eyes of the Catholic Church.

Title: The Defining Verse: Find Your Life’s Sentence Through the Lives of 63 Bible Characters

Author: Warren W. Wiersbe

Narrator: Robert Kiefer

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 21 hours 57 minutes

Release date: December 1, 2020

Genres: Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

“Scripture frequently sums up a man’s life in a single sentence.” – Charles Spurgeon Inspired by the great preacher Charles Spurgeon, Warren Wiersbe launched a personal study of the lives of prominent Bible characters. Interested in more than biographical facts, Wiersbe sought out the themes of each person’s life as reflected in the pages of Scripture. How does the Bible summarize this person’s life? What is the key to understanding his or her character? How do I see my own life reflected in the life of this person? The Defining Verse takes you into the lives of sixty-three Biblical men and women who encountered an extraordinary God. For each, Wiersbe identifies a Scripture verse that sums up that individual’s life and then reflects on the lessons to be learned, both positive and negative. Not only will you be challenged by these examples, you will be stimulated to consider what your “life sentence” will be. Previously released under the title Life Sentences. Discussion questions, a daily reading guide, and recommended reading are available in the audiobook companion PDF download.

Title: Searching for God Knows What

Author: Donald Miller

Narrator: Mark Smeby

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 6 hours 52 minutes

Release date: November 24, 2020

Genres: Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

With equal parts wit and wisdom, New York Times bestselling author Donald Miller invites you to reconnect with your faith. Miller shares what he's learned firsthand--that our relationship with God is designed to teach us about redemption, grace, healing, and so much more. Searching for God Knows What weaves together timeless stories and fresh perspectives on the Bible to capture one man's journey to discover an authentic faith that's worth believing. Along the way, Miller poses his own questions about faith, religion, and community, asking:  - What if the motive behind our theology was relational? - What if our value exists because God takes pleasure in us? - What if the gospel of Jesus is an invitation to know God? Maybe you're a Christian wondering what faith you signed up for. Or maybe you don't believe anything and are daring someone to show you a genuine example of genuine faith. Somewhere beyond the self-help formulas, fancy marketing, and easy promises, there is a life-changing experience with God waiting for you--it just takes a little bit of searching. Praise for Searching for God Knows What: 'Like a shaken snow globe, Donald Miller's newest collection of essays creates a swirl of ideas about the Christian life that eventually crystallize into a lovely landscape...[He] is one of the evangelical book market's most creative writers.' --Christianity Today 'If you have felt that Jesus is someone you respect and admire--but Christianity is something that repels you--Searching for God Knows What will give you hope that you still can follow Jesus and be part of a church without the trappings of organized religion.' --Dan Kimball, author of The Emerging Church and Pastor of Vintage Faith Church, Santa Cruz, CA 'For fans of Blue Like Jazz, I doubt you will be disappointed. Donald Miller writes with the wit and vulnerability that you expect. He perfectly illustrates important themes in a genuine and humorous manner...For those who would be reading Miller for the first time, this would be a great start.' --Relevant
