Publisher's Summary:

As a gifted communicator, R. C. Sproul has helped many believers grow in their understanding of such matters as the nature of God, the history of redemption, and the manner in which we are saved. Now, Dr. Sproul's lucid teaching on these vital matters is available in a series of concise audiobooks that are perfect for personal learning and refreshing as well as small-group study.

For a quick introduction to matters at the very core of the Christian life for yourself or a friend, consider the Crucial Questions audiobooks from Reformation Trust Publishing.

Members Reviews:

A succinct, focused, and highly beneficial synopsis of a key concept in the Christian faith.

At the core of the Christianâs life lies a repentant heart. Hence, having a strong Biblical understanding of this foundational concept is crucial in the walk of any believer. What is Repentance? succinctly illustrates this basic idea, and the author particularly highlights how regeneration, faith, and repentance are inextricably linked.

The first chapter (What Is Repentance?) of this booklet describes exactly what repentance is. It is much more than saying, âIâm sorryâ and involves distress and dismay over what was done along with the mental and emotional determination to change oneâs ways. âA Picture of Repentanceâ looks at different Old Testament prophetic examples of genuine repentance (conversion). It becomes clear that repentance is more than an act but a deep inward change which animates external behavior change. âA Model of Repentanceâ looks at the repentant heart of King David as he writes Psalm 51, a classic psalm of repentance. âRegeneration and Repentanceâ clarifies that repentance is not something that I can do by myself. It only becomes possible after someone has been regenerated by the Holy Spirit and therefore empowered by God to do His will. As the author explains, genuine faith and genuine repentance go hand-in-hand. One cannot have one without the other.

What is Repentance? is part of the Crucial Questions booklet series. The series offers Biblically sound answers to practical, real-life questions about the everyday Christian experience. Without a doubt, the series is very informative and a worthwhile resource. Each selection in this volume tends to be less than 100 pages so you can get through a booklet in an afternoon. Furthermore, the fact that all of them are available for free (Kindle versions) is just icing on the cake. This is excellent for anyone who seeks to know more about repentance, and will provide valuable information to Sunday school teachers, Christian educators, and Bible students.

Helpful and Concise

I highly recommend this and the other RC Sproul short books on the basics of Christian faith. At a time when so many people have questions about the fundamentals of what we believe, it is helpful to have resources that provide Biblically sound answers. Getting to know Bible basics is critical to allowing each of us to become prepared for giving an answer to what we believe.

Whether you are a long-time Christ follower or new to faith -- or even just wanting to know more-- understanding repentance will educate and illuminate. This booklet is on my reading list for anyone on a faith journey.

good information and explanation of repentance.

I got this book series thinking it would be good for beginners just starting out with the Spirit of Christ.

Title: Grand Central Question

Subtitle: Answering the Critical Concerns of the Major Worldviews

Author: Abdu H. Murray

Narrator: Abdu H. Murray

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 5 mins

Language: English

Release date: 04-13-15

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 40 votes

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

All religions and worldviews seek to answer the fundamental questions of human existence: Why am I here? What does it mean to be human? Why is there evil in the world, and how do we deal with it? But not every worldview places equal emphasis on each issue. The main worldviews each tend to stress a different central question.

Secular humanism focuses on: What is the inherent value of human beings? Pantheism emphasizes: How do we escape suffering? Islam's main concern is: How is God great? Abdu Murray digs deeply into these three representatives of major worldviews of our day: atheism, pantheism, and theism. This lawyer and former Muslim brings compassion, understanding, and clarity to his analysis, comparing the answers of each view to the central message of Christianity.

Members Reviews:

Insightful book...

Great book! Abdu gives fair treatment to unpacking different worldviews, as well as unveiling the natural outworkings of those root belief systems. Defining each belief system's "Grand Central Question" about life and reality, Abdu not only peels back the layers of "why we think what we think", but drives us towards questions that will help us determine whether our paradigm of thought is logical, meaningful, and coherent. I would recommend this book to everyone and feel it would be a great conversation starter, even if you don't agree with Murray's premises and conclusions.

Deep, interesting and understandable

People from any belief should read this book as Murray brings deep ideas and makes his case about the worldviews most inportant questions in a very interesting and reader (hearer) friendly manner. I totally recommend it.

Don't Miss This

Listen more than once. Think about it. Act on it. You won't regret it... for eternity.

Christian apologetics from a former devout Muslim

What did you love best about Grand Central Question?

Abdu Murray is very thoughtful in all of his explanations regarding questions that many have need to be answered. He explains Islam from his perspective as a former Muslim. This is very interesting to me, I hope that you will find it interesting as well.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Grand Central Question?

His statement that tradition or being raised to believe as your parents taught you was not adequate statement of faith. He quotes Jesus as challenging the Pharisees for their beliefs. This led him to a very critical analysis of his personal beliefs. The questions and explanations that follow make this audiobook an excellent resource for anyone Christian, Muslim, secular humanist, or pantheist to analyze what they believe and why.

What about Abdu H. Murrays performance did you like?

The book was well presented, however the information provided is so in-depth and presented fairly rapidly that at least for me I want to take time to digest before proceeding to the next chapter. I like listening to an audiobook, but sometimes the information provided requires time to reflect. I intend to get this book in written form so that I can use many of his thoughtful points whenever given the opportunity to share my faith. I don't usually listen to an audiobook more than once. This will be an exception.

Any additional comments?

I am hopeful that they make this audiobook available for whisper sync soon.

THIS BOOK WILL HELP ME TO MORE EXPEDITIOUSLY FIND MY WAY TO GOD

I am so happy that I chose this book. I have been working on getting closer to God for several years. It has been more difficult than I had anticipated because I don't seem willing to take the time that would show a more serious quest for closeness with God. Weekly Bible Study is now on my calendar, my plan to find a church to attend weekly is endangered by my lack of motivation . . . I pray for help with that. This book is a wonderful resource to guide me to the spiritual 'schedule' that will send me more quickly on my path to God. I have determined that I will stop procrastinating and get on to fulfilling the life that God has planned for me. And this book is, as I see it, the appropriate tool for me to use towards this purpose. Thank you for sharing these prayers with me!

This is a great collection of prayers and is going to be very valuable for me to have on hand. I am not overly religious (but do have a deep faith in God) and I donât have a bible.

I read this one all the time and the scriptures John 14:12. Also I really did need to read the serenity pray some times in life you just have to re-read the pray this is very special to me in my life. I will be reading some of there prayers daily.

I enjoyed this excellent book of prayers for myself and loved ones. This is an amazing book, it compiles really awesome prayers and verses from the bible. It also tells you which chapter of the bible, you can find that prayer in. I have been reading a prayer daily for the past couple days. This is a good book to have when your away from your bible. I love that it is so easy to get on my phone or Ipad.

POWERFUL!!

I HAVE READ MANY PRAYER BOOKS, BUT I NOTICED when I started my day praying these prayers, it gave me peace, beautifully written, and love the scripture verse that you can also go too..

Definitely recommend.

Title: Overrated

Subtitle: Are We More in Love with the Idea of Changing the World Than Actually Changing the World?

Author: Eugene Cho

Narrator: Eugene Cho

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 12 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-30-14

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 50 votes

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

Many people today talk about justice, but are they living justly? They want to change the world, but are they being changed themselves? Eugene Cho has a confession: "I like to talk about changing the world but I don't really like to do what it takes." If this is true of the man who founded the One Day's Wages global antipoverty movement, then what must it take to act on one's ideals?

Cho does not doubt the sincerity of those who want to change the world. But he fears that today's wealth of resources and opportunities could be creating "the most overrated generation in history. We have access to so much but end up doing so little." He came to see that he, too, was overrated. As Christians, Cho writes, "our calling is not simply to change the world but to be changed ourselves." In Overrated, Cho shows that it is possible to move from talk to action.

Members Reviews:

OK memoir but the message was regurgitated from other sources

I got this book after hearing Pastor Cho speak in person at a conference. I was intrigued and the price was right ($3.99 on sale). I enjoyed reading his autobiography and memoirs of starting Quest Church and One Days Wages. However, I felt like his message simply regurgitated the ideas of many other books I've read such as When Helping Hurts. Also, he talked about how people sacrificed and gave money to ODW and other organizations, which is good. However, he missed a large part of changing our lives to DO things that matter as well. I probably wouldn't recommend it to a friend as I think it would be a better sermon or blog post series.

Life Changing

Eugene Cho's passionate stories about moving from wanting to doing are inspiring and life changing. This is a book that will leave you no choice but to get up and take action.

Enjoyed

Until the last 2 chapters, I was likely going to give a 4 but the last 2 chapters made the book

Good material, sufficient execution

This is a good book with good ideas and important things to say. The author spend perhaps a little too much time describing the problem at the expense of bringing about solutions. For example, it is important to make wise decisions in addressing complex issues. There were many, many examples of this. After a while it's starting to sound like the authors pet peeve (which it is, And should be, but this is not as helpful to readers). I would like to hear this author speak or preach on the subject more than read his material as a book. Again, there are very good and important ideas here and I am glad I finished the book. I only wish it had been given more editing.

Convicting.

Cho hits hard in the first few chapters. Prepare for critical introspection. Prepare to have your perceptions of charity/mission work changed.

Just read it and let it convict you to change your lifestyle and inspire a justice oriented view of Discipleship.

Language: English

Release date: 12-02-14

Publisher: Hachette Audio

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 30 votes

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

The bodies God creates are instruments for experiencing a fulfilling life on Earth, for doing good works, and for spiritual development. To do the work we are meant to do, our bodies need to stay in shape. We must maintain a sound mind, body, and soul. Yet in the modern world, it is all too easy to let one, two, or all three of these slip.

Based on her New York Times best-seller, Look Great, Feel Great, in this compact listen, Joyce Meyer presents her 12-key plan to address the "self esteem drought" which perpetuates the habits that cause poor health. As she explores each of the 12 keys for good health, she offers five methods for improving our physical and spiritual wellness. Additionally, Joyce provides helpful resources, like the "Ounce of Prevention Checklist," for self-maintenance.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Needs different Narrator

Content is good in the book but the Narrator is so unexciting and just feels like a dull book. It's not the biok!

All in one

As a personal trainer and gym owner I really enjoyed the breakdown of the science of metabolism and exercise it was very well explained. And of course what I was looking into learning was the tie in to

the science to the Bible and how we needed to be reaching out to God and the Holy Spirit to help us on our journey.

Very motivating!

This is exactly what I needed to hear to set goals in all areas of my life. I loved it!

So helpful getting mind in right place.

A gift from God. Everything was broken down in simple to follow steps. A must read for anyone at whatever point you are at.

Good listen

Enjoyed listening to and from work. I recommend for everyone who is trying to make positive changes to their life

Title: The Skeletons in God's Closet

Subtitle: The Mercy of Hell, the Surprise of Judgment, the Hope of Holy War

Author: Joshua Ryan Butler

Narrator: Conrad Bear

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10 hrs and 53 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-11-14

Publisher: christianaudio.com

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 41 votes

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

Is God a sadistic torturer? Coldhearted judge? Genocidal maniac? Unfortunately, our popular caricatures often make him out to be. God has some skeletons in the closet. At least, that's what many of us fear. "How can a loving God send people to hell?" "Isn't it arrogant to believe Jesus is the only way to God?" "What is up with holy war in the Old Testament?" These are difficult questions that our family, our friends, our culture - even we ourselves - are asking. The Skeletons in God's Closet pulls these skeletons out of the closet to show that they were never really skeletons at all - but part of the good news that God is good and coming to redeem his world. Hell is not an "underground torture chamber" God creates to torture sinners, but a destructive power we unleash that God has promised to redeem his world from - it represents an extravagant act of mercy. Judgment is not "churchgoers go to heaven, everyone else goes to hell," but God coming to raise humanity from death and set his world right by calling things out as they really are - and the results are a shocking surprise. Holy war is not "the strong using God to justify their conquest of the weak," but God arising on behalf of the weak when the tyranny of the strong has raged for far too long - he is the hope of the world. Mercy. Surprise. Hope. Not what we usually think. Ultimately, The Skeletons in God's Closet uses our toughest questions to provoke paradigm shifts in how we understand our faith as a whole: we'll pull the "skeletons out of God's closet" to reveal they were never really skeletons at all. We'll grapple with the "skeletons in the ground" of tragedy, injustice and death in our world - to explore resurrection as God's good answer. Most importantly, we'll affirm that God is good "in his very bones" - not just in what he does but in who he is. This is an audiobook that sings loudly, boldly, and clearly: God is good and coming to redeem his world.

Repetitive but powerful

The style felt more like a collection of sermons than a book. The content of the "sermons" was very powerful, insightful and revolutionary. But within the format of a book it came across as VERY repetitive. So much so that it sounded like the same thing was being said over and over again. I still gave it four stars because the content was that good. Definitely worth reading or listening to.

More unanswered questions

The author seemed proud that he had answers questions I never had and left the questions I did have unanswered. He tried to interpret away some hard passages, but left me unsatisfied. The reader's voice was rather dull...but maybe it was the book.

answers so many questions

Thought-provoking and well-written. this book answers so many questions I had when leaving church 7 years ago

Fascinating, Fresh and Biblically Founded

I was so impressed by the clarity and relevance Butler gives to such challenging topics.

Must read!

This is a phenomenal book that explores in a biblical, historical and philosophical framework some of the most important questions in life.

Title: The New Parish

Subtitle: How Neighborhood Churches Are Transforming Mission, Discipleship and Community

Author: Paul Sparks, Tim Soerens, Dwight J. Friesen

Narrator: Jeremy Arthur

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 hrs and 53 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-22-14

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 36 votes

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

"When... faith communities begin connecting together, in and for the neighborhood, they learn to depend on God for strength to love, forgive, and show grace like never before... The gospel becomes so much more tangible and compelling when the local church is actually a part of the community, connected to the struggles of the people, and even the land itself." Paul Sparks, Tim Soerens, and Dwight J. Friesen have seen - in cities, suburbs and small towns all over North America - how powerful the gospel can be when it takes root in the context of a place, at the intersection of geography, demography, economy and culture. This is not a new idea - the concept of a parish is as old as Paul's letters to the various communities of the ancient church. But in an age of dislocation and disengagement, the notion of a church that knows its place and gives itself to where it finds itself is like a breath of fresh air, like a sign of new life.

Moves me to action

Recommend this book even though the big words are sometimes troublesome.I'm inspired to make a difference in my neighborhood. Helped me understand that everything makes a difference but not everything may seem like a big deal.

Good content, poor reader's voice.

I was able to finish this book, but the tone of the reader was the audible equal to watching paint dry.

Some pithiness mixed into things I've heard before

The only quotes I found myself jotting down were from quoted sources like Lesslie Newbigin and Dietrich Bonhoeffer. It was good to hear people's stories, but a lot of them seemed to be similar to those I've heard in online videos. It's probably a great resource for anyone who hasn't encountered missional communities in person. Just be warned, most, if not all Bible "quotes" are from The Message, so it might offend your sensibilities if you have a liturgical or exegetical background with a high view of Scripture. I much preferred Family on Mission by Mike and Sally Breen.

Not what I had expected

What would have made The New Parish better?

I bought it with The Art of Neighboring, which I really liked. I thought they were going to be similar with The New Parish being more of a how to do this with your whole church or multiple churches, but I didn't get that out of this

What do you think your next listen will be?

Just finished The Longevity Book, Not sure what will be next.

Any additional comments?

I often listen to books while I drive as I drive a lot. this one was hard to listen to that way as it just kind of seemed to go on and on and on.

rich and practical

I found it really incuraging as someone who is about to start a Christian community, is good to look at "church" differently and in a new light.

Publisher's Summary:

Life-changing tools for the growing Christian!

Meet the challenges of modern living and integrate the teachings of Christ with your everyday life!

Being an effective Christian is tough in a world that is increasingly at odds with what you believe. But living at odds with the world is not what Jesus would do. He would meet the people around Him at their point of need and minister to them in a loving and sincere way. He calls you to live this way too. But how are you to do this? And how do you communicate the truth about Jesus in a way that everybody can understand?

The Living Faith Series is designed to help you do just that. You'll hear messages from some of the best-known Bible teachers like:

When Jesus walked the earth, He didn't always wait for people to come to Him. He rolled up His sleeves and went out to them. The Living Faith Series will help you to grow into His likeness.

Practical Ways to Share God's Truth

I enjoyed hearing from different effective preachers of the Word and our Lord give practical ways Christians around the world can share God's truth and love!

Christian Journeys

Listening to the various teachings by various pastors gives us a deeper meaning to what it means to be Christian even on a Wednesday. I love this book and know everyone else will also, and no one will fall asleep listening to sermons by these pastors who are genuinely gifted.. If you enjoy Audible, you'll also get to hear the narration by my very own pastor, Dick Staub , who eloquently adds his voice to the subjects of each sermon in between. Very inspiring and very in formative as we travel on our spiritual journey's.

Some great, some not so great

Some of these "sermonettes" are well worth listening to, some I couldn't finish. I have great admiration for Haddon Robinson who always handles God's Word deftly with solid exegesis, timely application and is a great communicator of the Word. Luis Palau is definitely an evangelist with an evangelist message and preaching style. He gives a great call to arms to use every opportunity to share the Gospel message.

On a less sanguine note one of the speakers uses my all time, top one of all top tens worst sermon illustrations ever and that was the end of my listening to this series.
