Title: Hope for the Hurting

Author: Tony Evans

Narrator: Preston Butler

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 3 hours 17 minutes

Release date: October 9, 2024

Genres: Counseling & Inspirational

Publisher's Summary:

Life is painful. Everyone's story comes with unique challenges, difficulties, bumps, and bruises that leave you lost and drowning in their wake. It could be a financial disaster, a health issue, a broken relationship, or the loss of a loved one. Dr. Tony Evans, bestselling author and pastor of Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship, understands life's hardships firsthand. In a span of less than two years, he lost his brother, sister, brother-in-law, two nieces, father, and wife. At the same time, both of his daughters received cancer diagnoses. In the wake of all this pain, Dr. Evans had to put into practice, at the deepest levels, the truths he has preached about God for more than forty years. God's Word doesn't promise us a life free from pain and trouble. It promises us something else—Someone else. Someone who will walk with us through all of life's trials and troubles. There is hope for the hurting: His name is Jesus.

Title: Chasing Love: Sex, Love, and Relationships in a Confused Culture

Author: Sean McDowell

Narrator: Chris Abell

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 3 hours 57 minutes

Release date: October 9, 2024

Genres: Counseling & Inspirational

Publisher's Summary:

The music we listen to, the movies we watch - they're all telling us to keep chasing love and that we'll finally be happy when we find it. But is love really all we need? The love that the world tells us to pursue is all about self, about following your heart’s desires. But what is the Christian worldview on love? When we follow Jesus, we realize that he invites us to reorient the focus of our lives, so instead of chasing love primarily for our own happiness, we are first and foremost to give love - to God and to others. In Chasing Love, Sean McDowell will invite listeners into Jesus’ radical, upside-down approach to love, and in doing so, he’ll answer some of the toughest questions we’re asking about love today: How does Jesus speak to singleness? What does the Gospel say about LGBTQ issues? Can sexual sin truly be forgiven? What if I’m not happy in my marriage?

Title: Gun Lap: Staying in the Race with Purpose

Author: Robert D. Wolgemuth

Narrator: Rodney Rice

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 7 hours 20 minutes

Release date: October 9, 2024

Genres: Counseling & Inspirational

Publisher's Summary:

You may think you’re too old to run fast, but you’re not too old to run well. When the lead runner starts his final lap in a long-distance race, the starter fires his pistol for the second time. This signals the start of the gun lap - the last chance to leave it all out on the track. Gun Lap is for men who are running their last lap. Or maybe younger men who are looking ahead to their gun lap, but want to live the rest of their lives with purpose and strength. This is no small thing. In fact, it’s a big deal, because we only get one chance at this life. The author of the New Testament book of Hebrews agrees and wrote, “Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us” (12:1 CSB). Perseverance. No word better describes the goal of this race...every lap…including the last one. Gun Lap will help you pay close attention to the strides you have left.

Title: You Are Not Forgotten: Discovering the God Who Sees the Overlooked and Disregarded

Author: Christine Hoover

Narrator: Christine Hoover

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 5 hours 17 minutes

Release date: October 8, 2024

Genres: Counseling & Inspirational

Publisher's Summary:

Have you ever felt forgotten, disregarded, wounded, invisible, or invalidated by others? Do you ever experience the pain and anger of feeling unseen? Has this left you wondering if you’re truly worthy of being acknowledged, listened to, and loved? Oftentimes, when we are in this place, we turn toward God with soul-wrenching questions: Where are you, God? Have you forgotten me? Are you paying attention to what is happening to me? Can I trust that you will act on my behalf? If you’ve asked these questions, you are not alone. Author and Bible teacher Christine Hoover has asked these questions too, and she’s found that none of us are the first to feel overlooked or forgotten—and yet God has always been a “God Who Sees.” In fact, it was a woman named Hagar in the Bible, alone in her desperate wilderness, who first spoke this particular name for God. Her story along with others in Scripture reveal that God not only looks upon us when others disregard us, He looks after us. If you feel disregarded or forgotten, take heart, for your God is One who always remembers His people and acts on behalf of them—and that includes you! He hears your cries, gently shepherds and heals your wounds of disregard, grants you refuge to ask questions, emboldens you with courage to forgive, calls you out of hiding for fear of disapproval, and even gives you eyes to see others in the compassionate way He sees you. No matter who in this world may look right past you, know this: You are not forgotten. Your God is the God Who Sees, and He not only looks upon you but looks after you–always. He is the God who sees….you.

The question is, are you willing? If so, prepare to experience a truly, fully, and genuinely joy-filled life—no matter the season or circumstance!

Publisher's Summary:

Trust is the oxygen of all human relationships. But it's also what trips you up after you've been burned. Maybe a friend constantly lets you down. A leader or organization you respect turns out to be different than they portray themselves to be. A spouse cheats on you. A family member betrays you. You're exhausted by other people's choices and starting to question your own discernment. And you're wondering, If God let this happen, can he even be trusted?  How can you live well and step into the future when you keep stumbling over trust issues? Lysa TerKeurst says it's not simply about finding better people to walk with. It's about developing the stability you long for within yourself and with God, so you don't become cynical and carry a broken belief system into every new relationship. In I Want to Trust You, But I Don't video Bible study, Lysa digs into the Scriptures and helps you apply how to: - identify which of the eleven relational red flags are stirring up distrust, so you can pinpoint why you're feeling uneasy; - stop having more faith in your fears coming true than God coming through for you by asking crucial 'what if' questions to better process your doubts; - recognize when a fractured relationship can be repaired by considering a reasonable list of characteristics necessary for rebuilding trust; and - understand the physical, emotional, and neurological impact of the betrayals you've experienced and start healing from the inside out.
