Title: Conversion and Discipleship: You Can't Have One without the Other

Author: Bill Hull

Narrator: Angelo Diloreto

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 9 hours 38 minutes

Release date: September 29, 2020

Genres: Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

Discipleship occurs when someone answers the call to learn from Jesus how to live his or her life as though Jesus were living it.  The end result is that the disciple becomes the kind of person who naturally does what Jesus did.  How the church understands salvation and the gospel is the key to recovering a biblical theology of discipleship. Our doctrines of grace and salvation, in some cases, actually prevent us from creating an expectation that we are to be disciples of Jesus. A person can profess to be a Christian and yet still live under the impression that they don’t need to actually follow Jesus. Being a follower is seen as an optional add-on, not a requirement. It is a choice, not a demand. Being a Christian today has no connection with the biblical idea that we are formed into the image of Christ. In this ground-breaking new book, pastor and author Bill Hull shows why our existing models of evangelism and discipleship fail to actually produce followers of Jesus. He looks at the importance of recovering a robust view of the gospel and taking seriously the connection between conversion—answering the call to follow Jesus—and discipleship—living like the one we claim to follow.

Title: The Liturgy of Politics: Spiritual Formation for the Sake of Our Neighbor

Author: Kaitlyn Schiess

Narrator: Lisa Larsen

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 7 hours 58 minutes

Release date: September 8, 2020

Genres: Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

A generation of young Christians are weary of the political legacy they've inherited and are hungry for a better approach. They're tired of seeing their faith tied to political battles they didn't start, and they're frustrated with leaders they thought they could trust. Kaitlyn Schiess grew up in this landscape, and understands it from the inside. In The Liturgy of Politics, Schiess shows that the church's politics are shaped by its habits and practices, even when it's unaware of them. Spiritual formation, and particularly a focus on formative practices, are experiencing a renaissance in Christian thinking—but these ideas are not often applied to the political sphere. Schiess insists that the way out of our political morass is first to recognize the formative power of the political forces all around us, and then to recover historic Christian practices that shape us according to the truth of the gospel.

Title: The Sacred Overlap: Learning to Live Faithfully in the Space Between

Series: Part of Seedbed Resources

Author: J.R. Briggs

Narrator: Josh Childs

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 8 hours 18 minutes

Release date: September 8, 2020

Genres: Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

The widening of political, racial, generational, and religious differences leads too often to an 'us vs. them' mentality. The Sacred Overlap communicates a refreshing vision that embraces tension and shows us how to live in radical love and faithfulness between the extremes that isolate and divide people. The gospels display how Jesus was committed to crossing the either/or waters of the cultural and societal wars of his day. His miracles and parables often broke or ignored religious and political lines that seemed all important. He comforted the disturbed and disturbed the comfortable. Using Jesus' example, J. R. Briggs offers a fresh and relevant understanding of evangelism and discipleship in our present time of extreme polarization. Without sacrificing biblical integrity, The Sacred Overlap is a joyful exploration of the complexity of life in the peace of Christ. With careful discernment, Briggs: - Shares creative ways to engage with God's mission of ministering to those who are intrigued by Jesus but turned off by church. - Explores what it means to be joyful in the midst of heart-wrenching pain and earthly suffering. - Models what it means to maintain a posture of convicted civility which emphasizes both grace and truth. The Sacred Overlap helps listeners see how Christians are called to live with their feet firmly planted in two different worlds—in both heaven and earth—living naturally with both the sacred and the ordinary. Only then can a Christian be a faithful witness and disciple of Jesus. Accompanying illustrations and diagrams are available in the audiobook companion PDF download.

Publisher's Summary:

Sacred Pathways reveals nine distinct spiritual temperaments--and their strengths, weaknesses, and tendencies--to help you improve your spiritual life and deepen your personal walk with God. It's time to strip away the frustration of a one-size-fits-all spirituality and discover a path of worship that frees you to be you. Experienced spiritual directors, pastors, and church leaders recognize that all of us engage with God differently, and it's about time we do too. In this updated and expanded edition of Sacred Pathways, Gary Thomas details nine spiritual temperaments and--like the Enneagram and other tools do with personality--encourages you to investigate the ways you most naturally express yourself in your relationship with God. He encourages you to dig into the traits, strengths, and pitfalls in your devotional approach so you can eliminate the barriers that keep you locked into rigid methods of worship and praise. Plus, as you begin to identify and understand your own temperament, you'll soon learn about the temperaments that aren't necessarily 'you' but that may help you understand the spiritual tendencies of friends, family, and others around you. Whatever temperament or blend of temperaments best describes you, rest assured it's not by accident. It's by the design of a Creator who knew what he was doing when he made you according to his own unique intentions. If your spiritual walk is not what you'd like it to be, you can change that, starting here. Sacred Pathways will show you the route you were made to travel, marked by growth and filled with the riches of a close walk with God. A Sacred Pathways video Bible study is also available for group or individual use, sold separately. Accompanying exercises and discussion questions are available in the audiobook companion PDF download.

Title: [Spanish] - Renueva tu mente: Una perspectiva bíblica del mundo y de la vida

Author: Miguel Núñez

Narrator: Efrain Gomez

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 6 hours 46 minutes

Release date: September 1, 2020

Genres: Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

Ganador del Premio SEPA de Libro del Año 2021 y Mejor Diseño de Portada Como creyentes, queremos vivir lo que creemos, pero ¿qué se nos hace tan difícil lograrlo? En Renueva tu mente, el pastor Miguel Núñez nos da el secreto de vivir en medio de la voluntad de Dios y gozar de la plenitud de vida de la cual Cristo nos habló. ¿Por qué existe la dicotomía entre lo que el cristiano profesa cuando está en la iglesia y la manera cómo vive el resto de la semana? Porque en realidad, no es lo que profesamos lo que determina cómo vivimos, sino es la manera en que pensamos lo que determina la manera en que vivimos. La pregunta que surge de inmediato es: «¿Cómo lo hago?», «¿Cómo cambiar lo que pienso y vivir lo que creo?». En Renueva tu mente, el pastor Miguel Núñez explica cómo es posible renovar tu mente y lograr una perspectiva bíblica del mundo y de la vida. Renueva tu mente empieza con conceptos fundamentales de la importancia de tener una propia cosmovisión y entendimiento básico de la apologética o cómo defender tu fe. La segunda sección del libro nos presenta preguntas fundamentales que todo creyente debe saber responder: - ¿De dónde vengo? - ¿Para qué estoy aquí? - ¿Quién soy? - ¿Qué es bueno y qué es malo? - ¿Creó Dios el mal? - ¿Para dónde voy? El libro concluye con aplicaciones fundamentales de cómo vivir para tener el máximo impacto en el mundo. El pastor Miguel Núñez te invita a leer con atención este libro, pero al mismo tiempo, quiere desafiarte a que te dejes examinar por las verdades bíblicas que leerás. También te anima a que reemplaces, de una vez y para siempre, cada mentira que tengas asentada en tu corazón con la verdad correspondiente revelada por Dios en su Palabra. El resultado será la verificación de la voluntad de Dios que es buena, aceptable y perfecta. Si al descubrir dicha voluntad decides vivirla, habrás encontrado el secreto de la plenitud de vida de la cual habló Cristo. Renew Your Mind Winner of SEPA Award's 2021 Book of the Year and Best Cover Design As believers, we want to live what we believe, but why is it so difficult for us to do so? In Renew Your Mind, Pastor Miguel Núñez gives us the secret to live in the midst of God’s will and enjoy the fullness of life Christ spoke to us about. Why is there a dichotomy between what the Christian professes when he is in church and the way he lives the rest of the week? Because in reality, it is not what we profess that determines how we live, but rather, it is the way we think that determines the way we live. The question that immediately arises is “How do I do it?”, “How do I change what I think and live what I believe?” In Renew Your Mind, Pastor Miguel Núñez explains how it is possible to renew your mind and gain a biblical perspective on the world and life. Renew Your Mind begins with fundamental concepts of the importance of having your own basic worldview and understanding of apologetics or how to defend your faith.
