Title: Think Differently Lead Differently

Author: Bob Hamp

Narrator: Bob Hamp

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 35 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-13-14

Publisher: Thinking Differently Press

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 16 votes

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

For too long we have looked for leadership lessons from experts who only believe in fifty percent of reality. As Christ followers we believe in both a visible material realm, and an invisible spiritual realm. We must stake our claim as those who live and walk in both the visible and invisible worlds simultaneously. To lead the unique organism that is the body of Christ, whether in a church, a business or our families, true spiritual leadership must know how to navigate both of these realms, and in particular, understand the intersection between these two worlds. Knowing only how to impact the world we see may actually impair our ability to impact the world we do not see. If all of our knowledge and experience is from and about the visible world, we are operating half-blind as kingdom citizens. Think Differently, Lead Differently is that guidebook that points us toward the intersection of the material and spiritual realms, and teaches the important ideas and skills to lead in both.

Amazing ministry leadership book!

The analogies and guidance for leadership principles in the ministry are very helpful and insightful. Bob Hamp understands Ministry very well and his years of experience in it are valuable in describing how to increase efficiency and effectiveness in the right areas of focus.

Life changing!!!

MUST READ! The wisdom and revelation shared in this book is life changing, and clearly received from God. It provides a way of thinking and new lenses by which we can see and perceive life and leadership. While there are things that I want to see realigned in my life, that change results from intimacy with God, and not from striving. Thx Bob!!!

Wow! I have said to a couple people now...

It's not so much that there was any "new" information. Rather that he puts a LOT of pieces, we have all heard our whole lives, into a new pile... And as he turns your perspective to see them from a different light. You find that they are not just thrown into a pile, they are already organized and put into the bookshelf that you can start gleaning from today!

Title: Love Not the World

Subtitle: A Prophetic Call to Holy Living

Author: Watchman Nee

Narrator: George W. Sarris

Format: Unabridged

Length: 3 hrs and 23 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-01-14

Publisher: christianaudio.com

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 38 votes

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

Having every one of us been in bondage to sin, we readily believe that sinful things are Satanic; but do we believe equally that the things of the world are Satanic? Many of us, I think, are still in two minds about this. Yet how clearly Scripture affirms that "the whole world lieth in the evil one" (1 John 5:19). Satan well knows that, generally speaking, to try to ensnare real Christians through things that are positively sinful is vain and futile. They will usually sense the danger and elude him. So he had contrived instead an enticing network, the mesh of which is so skillfully woven as to entrap the most innocent of men. We flee sinful lusts, and with good reason, but when it comes to such seemingly innocuous things as science and art and education, how readily do we lose our sense of values and fall a prey to his enticements!

Members Reviews:

Title: A Beautiful Defeat

Subtitle: Find True Freedom and Purpose in Total Surrender to God

Author: Kevin Malarkey

Narrator: Chris Ciulla

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 hrs and 39 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-19-14

Publisher: Thomas Nelson Publishers

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

New York Times best-selling author Kevin Malarkey teaches readers that the surprising key to unlocking their potential and experiencing the sense of peace and purpose they crave is nothing less than total surrender to God. There is a gnawing inside all of us that tells us we can be better. If we could just get a break or be more organized or work a little harder, we could break free from the struggles we face and become the persons we know we were intended to be. But what is the message of the cross? It isnt God saying, "I died for your sins and now I'll work as a consultant in your life to help you achieve the life youre determined to have." Jesus died as a model for us to die and give our lives to God and to others - the total surrender to God that is truly a beautiful defeat! We cannot always determine the circumstances in our lives, but perspective and peace in the midst of the stormy chaos of life are always available to the person who wins the battle to live a surrendered life. It is possible to have a life filled with meaning and live a rich existence basking in the pleasure and approval of God. A Beautiful Defeat contains the promise of a pathway to wholeness, fulfillment, and peace with God.

Members Reviews:

So good I read it for a second time immediately I finished it

My pastor said recently: "the Kingdom of God only prospers through an atmosphere of warfare and violence." It reminded me of this book that I've just finished for the second time in quick succession.

This is an excellent practical and Scripture-based guide on how to 'take up our cross everyday.'

Malarkey starts out exploring why it is so difficult to live a surrendered life and in so doing has a good look at the nature of sin concluding there are three key influencers to why we sin: the world, the flesh and Satan. He provides useful illustrations clarifying the three.

The rest of the book provides guidance of how to practically surrender on a daily basis. He gives a good airing to acknowledging we are in a battle and how to appropriately prepare to survive and in fact prosper through it. There is a great chapter when he compares the preparation to what a Navy SEAL has to do in their line of work having interviewed one as part of his research for the book.

Each chapter ends with an action to take an honest assessment of yourself and a prayer to commit the key learnings to the Lord.

I took many notes as I read through it and am sure I'll be referring back to those in the days to come.

If you're grappling with the state of your walk with the Lord, you may find some super insights in this book that will help give you some sound perspective.

Highly recommended.

Don't be fooled...

So basically the same guy who LIED about the accounts in his first book, The Boy Who Came Back from Heaven (notice he doesn't even mention the title in the About the Author- strange, huh?) has written another one. He shouldn't be allowed to author any more books unless it's about telling the truth and apologizing to the public for the first dupe. It doesn't make any sense that he gets to profit from telling lies, and not even sharing the money with his paralyzed son. Ridiculous. The first book needs to be pulled, and Amazon needs to remove it.

Title: Be Real

Subtitle: Because Fake Is Exhausting

Author: Rick Bezet

Narrator: Rick Bezet

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 9 mins

Language: English

Release date: 04-08-14

Publisher: christianaudio.com

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 15 votes

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

We live in a world of fakers. Rather than being real with each other, we present a carefully crafted persona that hides our faults and magnifies our good qualities. But inside we long to be loved, warts and all. We long to stop hiding from each other - and especially from God.

With a tender and gentle spirit, pastor Rick Bezet calls readers to a life built on authenticity, showing that the way to true freedom lies through reclaiming our hearts, reviving our souls, and renewing our minds in light of what God has done for us through Jesus Christ. Through biblical stories and (often funny) personal examples, Bezet encourages readers to live with passion, integrity, and perseverance. He releases readers from the spiritual death that comes with pretending and leads them into a new life characterized by transparency rather than fear.

Members Reviews:

an excellent every day, real life book

This is one of the best every day, real life books Ive read (listened to) recently. There are tips for home life and work. Ideas on how to have a balance of people in your life to support you the author described it as your Crowd, Companions, and Confidants. How respect starts with respecting yourself. How important confidence is. He mentions that just because we are confident in one season (or one area) of our life, it doesnt mean we will always be confident. If we lose our confidence (or need more), he has tips on how to get it. I also liked the section on encouragement.

Overall, I felt it was a great book to not only remind us to be real, but it offered tips on how to make sure we are real in all areas of our lives. Ive already listened to the book twice!

Makes me feel like I'm back home

Rick is a great storyteller. I left Arkansas for New York in 2010 and I miss hearing his sermons every week. He remains relevant in his teaching and very entertaining with his illustrations and anecdotes. I bought several copies to give to friends and I had to get the audio, especially since Rick narrates. You won't be disappointed.

Title: Flesh

Subtitle: Bringing the Incarnation Down to Earth

Author: Hugh Halter

Narrator: Patrick Lawlor

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 54 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-25-14

Publisher: christianaudio.com

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 55 votes

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

If were honest, no one really cares about theology unless it reveals a gut-level view of Gods presence. According to pastor and ministry leader Hugh Halter, only the incarnational power of Jesus satisfies what we truly crave, and once we taste it, were never the same. God understands how hard it is to be human, and the incarnation - God with us - enables us to be fully alive. With refreshing, raw candor, Flesh reveals the faith we all long to experience - one based on the power of Christ in the daily grind of work, home, school, and life. For anyone burned out, disenchanted, or seeking a fresh, honest-to-God encounter, Flesh will invigorate your faith.

Members Reviews:

Hugh Halter is awesome

That's the name for my review because it's true. I swallowed the "incarnational" kool-aid years ago and I'm constantly trying to find books that support the subject. This one hits the mark and goes a bit deeper than The Tangible Kingdom. It also lists some practical ways to implement this type of discipleship into daily life.

Changes the way we view Christianity

Hugh's first book, The Tangible Kingdom, changed the way that I did life as a pastor. Flesh, brings this change to a new level as it challenges us to become the incarnate Christ for our world to see! This is a must read for ANYONE who would be in the "none" category of religion.

You are invited to live life to the fullest.

This book is an incredibly outstanding an insightful book which will help people succeed in life. I have listened to it 3 times and I've been very impressed with the book!

Must read

Life altering book this book is the best book Ive read that will help you get your life right

This book is a grand slam

Kevin Meyers and John Maxwell do an amazing job of explaining how to live a life full and balanced. It all starts and ends with connection with God. It's a great read for those looking to take their walk to new heights.

Worthless

It emphasizes John Maxwell's arrogancy and self pride in himself. Demoralizing book, A waste of time

Finding myself in God

Great foundation for my journey. I plan to keep and reference this book often.

Title: Hitler, God, and the Bible

Author: Ray Comfort, Tim LaHaye (foreword)

Narrator: Tom Parks

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 hrs and 13 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-29-14

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 41 votes

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

In Hitler, God, and the Bible, international evangelist and bestselling author Ray Comfort exposes Adolf Hitler's theology and abuse of religion as a means to seize political power and ultimately instigate World War II and genocide.

This fascinating study mines the depths of Hitler's beliefs and convincingly argues that without Hitler's misuse of Christianity the Third Reich would not have had its legendary rise, resulting in the deaths of more than six million Jews.

Highlighting Hitler's youth, his influences, and his path to seducing a nation, Hitler, God, and the Bible is a fresh, stinging reminder of the power of the cross and how its misuse led to the Final Solution.

Members Reviews:

Wow so enlightening.

Ray really sorted things out politically and Biblically without any aggression towards Hitler and his regime.

Not exactly what I thought it would be

The book was an informative look into Hitlers rise to power, but it was not the parallel of hitlers religious views or lack there of that I was expecting. There was maybe a chapter in it that related to the title but that was about it.

It is a very interesting historical book.

It makes you think and it says you many interesting things about Hitler's personal and political life.

History must be taught and never forgotten

I love Ray Comfort for his work and love for God. I enjoyed this book as it gave me a better understanding of the evil behind the man, Hitler.

It disgusts me to know that so many people were fooled my this man and his evils.

I pray that others will read/listen to this book and always be reminded of the Holocaust and keep the innocent victims memories alive.

Worth reading two or three times.

Learn some things about Hitler and the 'Third Reich' that you may not have known before. And perhaps learn a few things about yourself, in the process. It will be well worth your time.

Title: The Truest Thing About You

Subtitle: Identity, Desire, and Why It All Matters

Author: D. R. Jacobsen, David Lomas

Narrator: Kirby Heyborne

Length: 4 hrs and 43 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-28-14

Publisher: christianaudio.com

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 30 votes

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

There are true things about us and there are truer things. David Lomas invites readers to move beyond what may simply be true to the truest thing, discovering a real identity in Christ. We are all bundles of competing desires and half-true labels. We arry them around like scars; we carry them around like badges. They tell us we are no more than a job description, relationship status, or appearance. But the most important and truest identity of every Christian is that they are loved, accepted, and created in the image of God. In The Truest Thing about You, Lomas addresses head-on the deepest questions of the soul: How can I know the truest thing about me? Not who I wish I was or who others say I am, but who am I really? He guides readers to uncover and embrace the reality of how God sees them - and why it all matters. You will learn to give what your spouse needs most in marriage, and take what you need most in return. Find out:

By learning to give and take fairly and effectively, you and your spouse can grow in love and compatibility.

Members Reviews:

Leading us out of the maze of "finding me"

Point: Your identity is not found in what you have, do, or desire. Your identity is in who has you, what he has done for you, and what he desires to have with you - a personal relationship.

Path: Lomas takes the reader back through the maze of lost identity to the place we need to start. He finds us in a desperate search of plowing the sand the sowing the ocean in trying to find who we are, then he leads us back to the place we need to be, recognizing who we are in Christ.

Sources: Lomas bases much of what he says on Christâs teaching in the gospels and Paulâs teaching to the churches. He references several other books on identity.

Agreement: This is an excellent resource for helping an individual orientate themselves in the confusing world of âfinding yourself.â It is not just a good one time reminder, but one I need daily as I gravitate towards works righteousness.

Personal App: Am I trying to find my identity in me, or in Christ? I can tell by whether I do, so thatâ or I have, so thatâ or I desire, so â God doesnât work like that. He says, âyouâre loved, thereforeââ

Favorite Quote: âAnd our call, then, is to become who we areâto live out the truth of this truest thing about us.â

It would be worth another read and I would recommend it to someone who:

is trying to âfind themselvesâ

is a believer but feels the weight of failure

pretty much any believer

Other books along this same theme would be:

Anderson, Hannah. Made For More: An Invitation to Live in Godâs Image. New. Moody, 2014.

Bridges, Jerry. Who Am I?: Identity in Christ. Cruciform Press, 2012.

Fitzpatrick, Elyse. Because He Loves Me: How Christ Transforms Our Daily Life. Wheaton: Crossway Books, 2008.

A timely and comprehensive examination of Identity

'The Truest Thing About You' is just about one of the most boldest titles you could come up with. The book does not disappoint in living up to its title.

Title: God Is Not Mad at You

Subtitle: You Can Experience Real Love, Acceptance & Guilt-free Living

Author: Joyce Meyer

Narrator: Sandra McCollom

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 45 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-24-13

Publisher: Hachette Audio

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 58 votes

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

When bestselling author Joyce Meyer posted "God's not mad at you" on Facebook, she didn't anticipate that her words would trigger thousands of responses of gratitude and relief. Apparently, many Christians struggle to reconcile their perception of God as both a loving parent and a stern judge.

In God Is Not Mad at You, Joyce will help those who haven't truly received God's love because they are afraid of His anger and disapproval. She explores the source of this confusion, so His genuine character can be better understood and His love can be experienced on an entirely new level.

Chapter titles include:

"It is important for us to remember that God's anger is directed toward our sinful behavior rather than toward us. If you feel guilty right now and are afraid that God is mad at you, then you are miserable. But your misery can be immediately changed to peace and joy by simply believing God's Word. Believe that God loves you and that He is ready to show you mercy and forgive you completely. Believe that God has a good plan for your life. Believe that God is not mad at you!"

Members Reviews:

AMAZING... AMAZING... AMAZING

Joyce Meyers is AMAZING!! anything she teaches will BLESS YOU! She speaks from the Spirit...God!

Have always been a fan of Joyce but........

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

Joyce's message is always great to hear, but the narrator in this book is so dry and dull. Wish Joyce would have done the narrating, her voice gives a such a powerful message of hope! I bought the CD series and will be returning this ebook.

Who was your favorite character and why?

None

How could the performance have been better?

Better narrator

You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

Joyce's message is always great to hear!

Any additional comments?

Will be returning ebook for credit.

Great! I do love Sandra's calm yet powerful voice!

A great! listen! I do love Sandra's calm yet powerful voice! For me, the way Joyce tells her story in such detail and the way Sandra nicely reads it are a great combination, so to speak. Hopefully I can get more books read by Sandra.

I WISHED THAT I HAD HEARD THIS BOOK MUCH SOONER!I

For years I have thought God was mad at me. For years I have regretted past actions. I have failed to live my life in a manner pleasing to God. because I thought God was very angry with me, much like my human father.

love it

love how Joyce explain the love of God for us in a very simple and easy way to understand and receive the message.

Title: There Are No Sad Dogs in Heaven

Subtitle: Finding Comfort After the Loss of a Pet

Author: Sonya Fitzpatrick

Narrator: Carol Irwin

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 18 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-03-13

Publisher: Penguin Audio

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 35 votes

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

Our pets are part of the family. For many they're as close as children; for some they may be our only children. And while most of us can expect that our children will outlive us, sadly, our pets almost never do.

Losing a pet can be as difficult as losing any other family member; we grieve, we miss them, and, mostly, we want closure, to know that our furry, feathered, or scaled friends are okay, wherever they are.

For years, animal communicator Sonya Fitzpatrick has helped pet owners cope with the loss of their beloved companions. Many of them ask the same questions: Is my pet happy? Why did this happen? Is it okay to get another pet? Using her personal experiences as well as the stories of the families she's worked with, Sonya sheds some light on the questions that every grieving pet owner has, and assures the reader that there are, in fact, no sad dogs (or cats or birds or turtles or horses or cows) in heaven.

Members Reviews:

Good Dogs Never Go; They Always Stay.

What did you love best about There Are No Sad Dogs in Heaven?

This has given me perspective and a piece of mind about the loss of my dog. Through consultations from Sonya's clients, she emphasizes that death is just the end of the physically body and the spirit is still very much alive and with us always.

What other book might you compare There Are No Sad Dogs in Heaven to and why?

Chicken Soup for the Soul. It is a series of different real life stories which are grouped into categories/ chapters and sub-categories.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It made me cry on and off as I mourned and slowly come to terms of the loss of my beloved dog.

Any additional comments?

I lost my beloved childhood dog on 11/4/13. The very next day, I found this book through a Yahoo News article that was featured. As Sonya mentions, our pet's spirit is still around us and wants us to be happy. I believe that my dog's spirit lead me to this book to help with my grieving.

Great book for anyone grieving the loss of a pet..

What made the experience of listening to There Are No Sad Dogs in Heaven the most enjoyable?

The message is so comforting and uplifting. She validates that our sweet pets are still very much alive and are very happy in their spirit form. I've experiences many instances since listening that confirm that my dog is still with me, just as she says they are.Great book. While she does have an accent, she has such a pleasant and upbeat voice that she is fairly easy to follow. She also just has such an energetic and positive voice that she's fun to listen to.

What about Carol Irwins performance did you like?

Very upbeat, energetic voice. She speaks with clarity and the tone of her voice makes it easy to discern the words easily, even over the hum of computers and people around my office. I felt happy after listening.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes - I have listened to it for hours at a time throughout the work day.

Wonderful book if you grieving

I would recommend this book to anyone who has lost a pet and is grieving or can't get over the loss of a pet. This book really helped me deal with the loss of my dog and with the pain and sadness.
