Title: For All Who Wander: Why Knowing God Is Better than Knowing It All

Author: Robin Dance

Narrator: Robin Dance

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 7 hours 16 minutes

Release date: November 6, 2024

Genres: Counseling & Inspirational

Publisher's Summary:

“Lord, I believe. Help my unbelief!” (Mark 9:24) Her circumstances might not have been as dramatic as the father begging Jesus for a miracle, but Robin felt just as desperate in her faith. Feeling lost in a spiritual desert, this was the most honest prayer she could offer. Can you relate to struggling in your faith but longing to believe? Faith is tidy and neat for some, never unwavering and always so sure. And maybe that’s how you used to feel, but now your once-sure beliefs are less certain, the prescribed faith of your youth no longer enough. Perhaps life isn’t turning out like you thought it would. Heartbreak and challenges stir doubt. Sunday-school answers fall short. God seems distant. Inviting you to find hope and healing in your own story within hers, in For All Who Wander, Robin Dance will help you: - Abandon the guilt and shame attached to your questions or doubts. - Broaden your understanding of God’s grace and faithfulness. - Release hostage-holding lies to enable you to embrace your identity, hope, and value in Christ. - Reframe your view of difficulties and disappointments as you understand their redemptive and transformative value. - Trust that God is working in your wandering to restore and strengthen your faith. As you walk through Robin’s story with her, you’ll find out for yourself that sometimes wandering is the path that leads you back to God.

Title: In Search of God's Will: Discerning a Life of Faithfulness and Purpose

Author: Trevor Hudson

Narrator: Simon Bubb

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 4 hours 6 minutes

Release date: November 5, 2024

Genres: Counseling & Inspirational

Publisher's Summary:

Have You Ever Asked, “What Is God’s Will for My Life?” A trusted voice of the Christian faith in spiritual formation and discipleship, deeply shaped by the wisdom of Dallas Willard and St. Ignatius, Trevor Hudson has crafted a “users guide” to discern God’s personal will for our lives. After serving the local congregation as a Methodist pastor in South Africa for almost fifty years, Trevor now lectures, teaches, and offers spiritual retreats both locally and internationally. Over the years this question about discerning God’s will is one that he has heard again and again. In Search of God’s Will creates a biblical imagination around the concept of discernment and provides practical ways to discern God’s personal will for your life, ultimately helping you to become the unique person God wants you to be. You’ll be equipped and encouraged in your faith on how to: - align your heart with the heart of God, - attune yourself to your calling, - listen to God in Scripture, - pray the Scriptures, - pay attention to the movements of the Spirit in your heart, - uncover and exercise your God-given giftedness, - notice God’s presence and activity in daily life, - engage in sacred conversations with trusted companions, - make faithful decisions, - take the initiative when God seems silent, and more. Each concept includes a ‘discernment exercise’ so that you can experience what you are learning. If you have ever wondered about God’s personal will for your life, how your desires and God’s desires intersect, and how God is present and active around you, In Search of God’s Will can help you catch glimpses of what it means to become the person that from eternity you were destined to be.

Title: You're the Worst Person in the World: Why It's the Best News Ever that You Don't Have It Together, You Aren't Enough, and You Can't Fix It on Your Own

Author: Scarlet Hiltibidal

Narrator: Scarlet Hiltibidal

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 4 hours 15 minutes

Release date: November 4, 2024

Genres: Counseling & Inspirational

Publisher's Summary:

Are you tired of the unrelenting pressure to be the best at everything? Author and speaker Scarlet Hiltibidal was too. For Scarlet, attempting to be the best at pretty much everything—whether that be the best wife or the best sub-sandwich maker or the best Christian—was her life story. But in the midst of all her striving and reaching to hit the mark, she somehow still couldn’t grab hold of the joy and freedom and life-change that’s supposed to come with the gospel’s good news. That is, until she realized something revolutionary—instead of the best, she might actually be…the worst. The “chief of sinners.” Poor in spirit and gone astray. In her much-anticipated follow-up to Afraid of All the Things (and in her humorous and relatable style), Scarlet tells plenty of stories of her own “worstness” to help you see your own and rejoice in the reality that our goodness and badness aren’t what make God smile at us. Instead of hiding from our brokenness, this book will help us stare that broken reality straight in the face, along with a laugh or two, as we feel the weight of just how absurdly and glaringly off the mark we all are! What’s more—this book will also help us embrace our status as “sinners” and “sheep” and “worst people on earth” who have been mercifully rescued and impossibly loved by the best person who has ever lived: Jesus. And the unbelievable part? As we admit our worstness, stop trying to be perfect on our own, and simply walk with the One who really is perfect, we’ll find along the way that we are actually changing for the better! If you’re tired of hustling to be the best, take a load off with Scarlet and say the honest and laughable truth along with her: we’re the worst people in the world!

Title: Becoming Elisabeth Elliot

Author: Ellen Vaughn, Joni Eareckson Tada

Narrator: Connie Shabshab

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 12 hours 50 minutes

Release date: November 4, 2024

Genres: Counseling & Inspirational

Publisher's Summary:

Elisabeth Elliot was a young missionary in Ecuador when members of a violent Amazonian tribe savagely speared her husband Jim and his four colleagues. Incredibly, prayerfully, Elisabeth took her toddler daughter, snakebite kit, Bible, and journal . . . and lived in the jungle with the Stone-Age people who killed her husband. Compelled by her friendship and forgiveness, many came to faith in Jesus.   This courageous, no-nonsense Christian went on to write dozens of books, host a long-running radio show, and speak at conferences all over the world. She was a pillar of coherent, committed faith; a beloved and sometimes controversial icon. In this authorized biography, Becoming Elisabeth Elliot, bestselling author Ellen Vaughn uses Elisabeth’s private, unpublished journals, and candid interviews with her family and friends, to paint the adventures and misadventures God used to shape one of the most influential women in modern church history. It’s the story of a hilarious, sensual, brilliant, witty, self-deprecating, sensitive, radical, and surprisingly relatable person utterly submitted to doing God’s will, no matter how high the cost. For Elisabeth, the central question was not, “How does this make me feel?” but, simply, “is this true?” If so, then the next question was, “what do I need to do about it to obey God?”

Author: Erin Davis

Narrator: Erin Davis

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 3 hours 27 minutes

Release date: November 4, 2024

Genres: Counseling & Inspirational

Publisher's Summary:

Does your relationship with food come as a constant source of regret, frustration, and shame? Or does it feel like a God-given blessing? Do you bounce between the two sometimes, in a love/hate relationship with food? Whether it’s a warm croissant, a bright bowl of fruit, a piece of cake, or a steaming cup of coffee put in front of her, author and Bible teacher Erin Davis has experienced all sorts of complicated responses to food, too. She's discovered that God’s Word celebrates food as a gift while simultaneously inviting us to surrender every area of our lives— including what we put on our plates. Rather than the yo-yo of loving food versus hating it, Erin invites you to accept Scripture’s invitation into a different, nourishing, and refreshing rhythm. In this 40-day devotional filled with heartfelt reflections on key passages of Scripture (and a few inspirational stories thrown in for good measure!), you’ll learn just how satisfying it is to join in the biblical rhythms of fasting and feasting.

Title: Surviving the Silence:: Understanding God When He Feels Distant

Author: Kevin Hudson

Narrator: Greg Palmer

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 1 hour 12 minutes

Release date: November 2, 2024

Genres: Counseling & Inspirational

Publisher's Summary:

Understanding spiritual drought can be a profound and challenging experience for many Christians. It often feels as though the vibrant connection with God has faded, leaving behind a sense of desolation and longing. During these seasons, individuals may grapple with feelings of abandonment, questioning their faith and wondering why God seems silent. However, it is essential to recognize that these dry periods are not indications of failure or lack of faith; rather, they are opportunities for growth and reflection. Just as nature undergoes cycles of drought and renewal, so too can our spiritual lives experience fluctuations that lead to deeper understanding and resilience.

Title: Know Thy Gamer: A Parent’s Guide to Video Games

Author: Drew Dixon

Narrator: Derek Dysart

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 3 hours 53 minutes

Release date: November 1, 2024

Genres: Counseling & Inspirational

Publisher's Summary:

Between social media platforms, the videos kids watch online, or the television shows they can now stream from anywhere at any time, keeping up with what our kids are doing has become more difficult than ever. Still, there has not been an influence quite like the video gaming world. For a time, video games were as simple as a blue hedgehog running from one side of the screen to the other. Now, video games create grand adventures of secret societies, alien races that have come to destroy entire galaxies, or dark forces that have arrived to destroy ancient kingdoms. Video games can display wondrous environments but can also house blood and gore. They can create adventures that get kids through rainy days but can also trap them in their rooms for untold amounts of time. This leaves many parents with one of two choices. They can either ignore the problems, or they can simply not allow their children to play games at all. Drew Dixon, co-founder of Love Thy Nerd, a ministry that exists to be the love of Jesus to nerds and nerd culture, offers a better way. Let’s face it: the digital age has changed the way we parent. So, instead of ignoring what your children are playing or removing the games altogether, Know Thy Gamer offers an opportunity for parents to understand their children and the kinds of games they are playing. By discussing some of the most important movements in the gaming world, Drew guides parents to understanding and loving their gamers through a Christian lens.
