Title: Free at Last?: The Gospel in the African American Experience

Author: Carl F. Ellis Jr.

Narrator: Mirron Willis

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 10 hours 11 minutes

Release date: June 16, 2020

Genres: Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

The words of Martin Luther King Jr.'s 'I Have a Dream' speech have become enshrined in US history. But after the end of King's generation of leadership, what happened to the African American struggle for freedom? Like the ancient Israelites, the African American community has survived a four-hundred-year collective trauma. What will it take for them to reach the promised land that King foresaw—to be truly free at last? In this classic historical and cultural study, Carl Ellis offers an in-depth assessment of the state of African American freedom and dignity. Stressing how important it is for African Americans to reflect on their roots, he traces the growth of Black consciousness from the days of slavery to the 1990s, noting especially the contributions of King and Malcolm X. Ellis examines elements of Black culture and offers a distinct perspective on how God is active in culture more broadly. Free at Last? concludes with a call for new generations of 'jazz theologians' and cultural prophets to revitalize the African American church and expand its cultural range. Ellis writes, 'It is my prayer that the principles contained in this book will play a role in building bridges of understanding and facilitating reconciliation where there has been alienation.' This groundbreaking book also includes a new preface by the author.

Title: End of the Present World and the Mysteries of the Future Life

Author: Fr. Charles Arminjon

Narrator: David Cochran Heath

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 8 hours 58 minutes

Release date: June 16, 2020

Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.5 of Total 2

Genres: Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

In the late nineteenth century, Father Charles Arminjon, a priest from the mountains of southeastern France, assembled his flock in the town cathedral to preach a series of conferences to help them turn their thoughts away from this life's mean material affairs—and toward the next life's glorious spiritual reward. His wise and uncompromising words deepened in them the spirit of recollection that all Christians must have: the abiding conviction that heavenly aims, not temporal enthusiasms, must guide everything we think, say, and do. When Father Arminjon's conferences were later published in a book, many others were able to reap the same benefit—including fourteen-year-old Thérèse Martin, then on the cusp of entering the Carmelite convent in Lisieux. Reading it, she says, 'plunged my soul into a happiness not of this earth.' Young Thérèse, filled with a sense of 'what God reserves for those who love him, and seeing that the eternal rewards had no proportion to the light sacrifices of life,' copied out numerous passages and memorized them, 'repeating unceasingly the words of love burning in my heart.' Let The End of the Present World and the Mysteries of the Future Life fill you with the same burning words of love, with the same ardent desire to know God above all created things, that St. Thérèse gained from them.

Title: How the West Really Lost God: A New Theory of Secularization

Author: Mary Eberstadt

Narrator: Nan Mcnamara

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 7 hours 10 minutes

Release date: June 16, 2020

Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1

Genres: Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

In this magisterial work, leading cultural critic Mary Eberstadt delivers a powerful new theory about the decline of religion in the Western world. The conventional wisdom is that the West first experienced religious decline, followed by the decline of the family. Eberstadt turns this standard account on its head. Marshalling an impressive array of research, from fascinating historical data on family decline in pre-Revolutionary France to contemporary popular culture both in the United States and Europe, Eberstadt shows that the reverse has also been true: the undermining of the family has further undermined Christianity itself. Drawing on sociology, history, demography, theology, literature, and many other sources, Eberstadt shows that family decline and religious decline have gone hand in hand in the Western world in a way that has not been understood before—that they are, as she puts it in a striking new image summarizing the book's thesis, 'the double helix of society, each dependent on the strength of the other for successful reproduction.'

Title: Hearing the Message of Daniel: Sustaining Faith in Today’s World

Author: Christopher J. H. Wright

Narrator: Matt Addis

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 9 hours 21 minutes

Release date: May 19, 2020

Genres: Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

In many corners of the world these days the climate of hostility hangs over any overt Christian faith commitment. Any kind of Christian commitment is now assumed to imply intolerance and often prompts reactions that range from a low-grade hostility and exclusion in the West to the vicious and murderous assaults on Christian believers in Pakistan, Nigeria, Kenya, Egypt, Syria and Iraq and elsewhere.    Such issues are not new. Christians have faced them ever since Nero’s lions, and even before that. Jews also have faced the same questions all through their history, most tragically sometimes enduring horrendous persecution from states claiming to be Christian. So it is not surprising that the Bible gives a lot of attention to these questions.    The book of Daniel tackles the problem head on, both in the stories of Daniel and his friends, and in the visions he received. A major theme of the book is how people who worship the one, true, living God—the God of Israel—can live and work and survive in the midst of a nation, a culture, and a government that are hostile and sometimes life-threatening. What does it mean to live as believers in the midst of a non-Christian state and culture? How can we live “in the world” and yet not let the world own us and squeeze us into the shape of its own fallen values and assumptions?    The book was written to encourage believers to keep in mind that the future, no matter how terrifying it may eventually become, rests in the hands of the sovereign Lord God—and in that assurance to get on with the challenging task of living in God’s world for the sake of God’s mission.

Title: The Corona Crisis: Plagues, Pandemics, and the Coming Apocalypse

Author: Mark Hitchcock

Narrator: Jim Seybert

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 3 hours 23 minutes

Release date: May 19, 2020

Genres: Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

In Corona Crisis, professor Mark Hitchcock shares how the current coronavirus outbreak is related to the vivid, end-time biblical prophecies about plagues, pestilences, and pandemics. With all the fear and chaos that is spreading through our nation and the world, what does it mean? Is the pandemic a sign of the end times? Professor and Bible teacher Mark Hitchcock explains that the coronavirus is not the fulfillment of the events that will occur during the tribulation period, but a foreshadowing of what lies ahead. Corona Crisis puts the current situation in perspective in relation to previous plagues humans have already survived, like the Spanish flu, while giving an overview of the major signs of the end times. Discussing how the rise of globalism contributes to the spread of plagues, Hitchcock explains how in our global environment, events can happen suddenly that send shock waves around the world. Corona Crisis provides scripturally based answers to questions like: - Are current events part of a larger drama scripted long ago? - Does the Bible predict the rise of pestilence and plagues in the end times? - Is the coronavirus prophesied in the Bible, and is it the judgment of God? - How bad will it get, and where is the current crisis headed? - Are we living in the end times? For anyone looking for answers in this uncertain time, this book will reinforce God's promises in your life. Find encouragement and comfort through this biblical explanation of the frightening current events unfolding today.
