Title: The Way of the Father: Lessons from My Dad, Truths about God

Author: Michael W. Smith

Narrator: Michael W. Smith

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 3 hours 48 minutes

Release date: October 29, 2024

Genres: Counseling & Inspirational

Publisher's Summary:

Michael W. Smith, multi-platinum artist, celebrated songwriter, producer, best-selling author, and acclaimed actor, himself a father of five adult children and grandfather of sixteen, calls upon his humble experiences of growing up in a small West Virginia town to share his father’s story. Each chapter identifies a quality and characteristic of his dad that came out of an obedient and sacrificial life, committed to serving his Abba Father, including: - Finding truth in tragedy - Loving unconditionally - Persevering through pain - Bringing righteousness to the world - Influencing and inspiring generations - Discovering identity and approval in Christ Paul Smith was a familiar face in the crowd at Michael W. Smith’s concerts over the years. A kind and joyful man who would sing, dance, and worship to the singer’s countless number one hits, with his countenance beaming brighter than the spotlights on the stage, Paul would often introduce himself to those nearby and talk about how proud he was of his son. From the artist’s early days as a struggling musician in Nashville to his death in 2015 (the year his son’s album sales surpassed 15 million), Paul was always Michael’s biggest fan. Michael shares how his dad inspired and encouraged him using biblical principles and virtues. Now, Michael passes on these same truths through stories, testimonies, origins of songs, and personal insights from his family life and thirty-five plus years of touring as a Christian artist. He hopes that by sharing his father’s legacy, readers will come to find that no matter who our earthly parents have been in our lives, our Abba Father will never fail us. The Way of the Father will likewise challenge readers in their faith journeys so they will one day hear, “Well done, good and faithful servant. You have fought the good fight, run the race, and have been found faithful”—just like Paul Smith heard on the day he was called home to be with his Father.

Length: 3 hours 23 minutes

Release date: October 29, 2024

Genres: Counseling & Inspirational

Publisher's Summary:

2023 For the Church Book Awards, Winner Small town life is quite different from life in a big city. There is not as much traffic. People recognize each other at the grocery store. Local sporting events carry a different cultural weight, and it may not be out of the ordinary to wait behind a tractor or get used to the smell of a nearby factory. These communities are unique, and pastoring here is an extraordinary task. Ronnie Martin and Donnie Griggs are well-aware of this reality. In Pastoring Small Towns, their hope is to equip pastors and ministry leaders to take on the different nuances that come with pastoring smaller communities. They point out the cultural realities of these places and give pastors the tools to effectively engage their people with the Gospel.

Title: The Leadership Formula: Develop the Next Generation of Leaders in the Church

Author: Juan Sanchez

Narrator: Lyle Blaker

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 4 hours 38 minutes

Release date: October 29, 2024

Genres: Counseling & Inspirational

Publisher's Summary:

We have a leadership problem, and we all know it. When we look at our churches, we see two glaring problems: a lack of qualified leaders, and a general mistrust of leadership as a response to sinful leadership. But churches need leaders. What do we do? The answer is in The Leadership Formula. In the New Testament, qualified leaders are identified by character, conviction, care, and competency. When these four qualities are observed over time, the result is credibility. Pastor and author Juan Sanchez helps listeners know what to look for in leaders, how to identify them, and how to commission them in the church, for the sake of the world.

Length: 6 hours 28 minutes

Release date: October 29, 2024

Genres: Counseling & Inspirational

Publisher's Summary:

Can we still have joy in a world of pain and anxiety? The troubles around us and in our lives lead many of us into a joyless experience where despair and hopelessness are the norm. Yet something within us still longs for a joy that transcends our challenges and gives us meaning and satisfaction. Alastair Sterne says that our inner longings for joy actually point us to a God of joy who gives us both the capacity for joy and the realities of joyful experience. Sterne explores pathways to joy and why we often experience the absence of joy. He then offers theologically grounded and research-based practices for becoming people of joyful presence. Even if we are not temperamentally happy enthusiasts, we can gradually cultivate the deep abiding joy that we were created for and that enriches the world around us.

Title: The Jesus Climb: Journeying from Student to Disciple

Author: Gary David Stratton

Narrator: Lyle Blaker

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 5 hours 41 minutes

Release date: October 29, 2024

Genres: Counseling & Inspirational

Publisher's Summary:

Is your spiritual imagination up to the task of following Jesus's vision for healing our broken world? 'Gradually, very gradually, we saw the great mountain sides and glaciers . . . until far higher in the sky than imagination had dared suggest the white summit of Everest appeared.' —George Mallory, 1924 Everest climbing expedition leader The Jesus Climb crafts George Mallory's quest to climb the world's tallest mountain into a parable illustrating how Jesus trained his first students to summit the world's greatest commandment. Like Mallory peering too low on the horizon to see Everest's peak towering above him, the lack of Christlikeness in modern Christianity stems from our inability to imagine the impossible heights to which Jesus calls us. The Jesus Climb draws upon the life and teachings of Jesus and the experiences of some of history's greatest spiritual and physical mountaineers to map out eight 'expedition camps' through which Jesus guides every student seeking to follow him. We will never be able to join Jesus in his mission to heal our broken world until he transformed us into the kind of people who can love God and neighbor as he did—the kind of people he called 'disciples.'
