Title: Man with Two Sons

Subtitle: The Parable of the Prodigal Son

Narrator: Tim Côté

Format: Unabridged

Publisher's Summary:

Charles Dickens referred to the parable of the prodigal son as the greatest story ever written. He has not stood alone in that sentiment. For generations this brief parable, as told by Jesus Christ, has been not only familiar but captivating to its readers. Perhaps what makes this story so intriguing is the way so many of us can identify with the younger son, who rebelled against his father only to realize later the gravity of his mistakes.

Unfortunately much of the story is lost to those of us reading it more than 2,000 years after it was first told. There is a significant culture gap between 21st-century America and first-century Israel. When we read the story of the prodigal son, we see a young man who merely disobeyed his father as if he broke curfew one night. The Lord's original audience would have immediately realized the severity of the prodigal's request. In the minds of the Jews, what the younger son did to his father warranted the death penalty, according to the Old Testament.

Publisher's Summary:

While facing the failure of her marriage, Diana struggles with her new life. Her choice to live as the world expects leaves her with another sense of failure. As she finds her way back to her core beliefs she begins to experience success in her professional life and at the same she encounters God in a new way. During a midlife crisis Diana discovers that she is called to serve God. Her now married daughter has left. She is at a place of redefining herself, while at the same time learning more about God's Word. Diana realizes that all of God's people are called to serve Him, though not always in a professional sense. She learns that when we put our failures behind us and quit offering excuses, we will find our role in God's Kingdom. Your calling today may be to lead your family. It may also be the most important task you will ever have. Diana will tell you to enjoy this time; it is short. She has found that to be a Christian means to be who you are in Christ no matter the relationship, or the circumstance. The first pastor who influenced her told her, "If you can take Jesus with you, it's OK. If not, don't do it." When you make a mistake, forgiveness is a prayer away. If you receive your forgiveness and experience a heart adjustment, you will find new direction, real peace and joy. God loves you and has a place for you in His Kingdom. No matter what mistakes you have made, whether you are male or female and regardless of your education level, the only person who can keep you from doing what God has called you to do is you.

If this book hadn't been recommended to me

If this book hadn't been recommended to me, I'd have missed it. I'm not currently in a leadership role, though I have been, and am not a woman. But, as I found, this book is relevant to me and everyone else. Diana makes it clear that we are all leaders in some way, even if only to our children, and I could relate to so much of this book. The book is short and succinct, but it is not a fast read - there is so much that I read that made me stop, think, and pray.

There are lessons and scripture references to support them.

Diana is obviously a leader and a woman who loves God, and I found the book contagious in its exhortation and encouragement, and I felt uplifted by it.

The other point I'd like to make is that this is an organizational and project management handbook for ministries and almost any other project involving a team.

I strongly recommend this book and its author.

Publisher's Summary:

In this talk, Catholic psychotherapist Suzanne Baars draws on the anthropology of St. Thomas Aquinas and the pioneering work of the late Catholic psychiatrists Conrad Baars and Anna Terruwe to illustrate the role of the emotions in assisting one's spiritual growth.

When seen as psychological motors designed to be guided by reason, the emotions may be employed by the Christian in the service of what is good and one is better able to grow in the love of virtue. Suzanne also explains authentic affirmation and how living in an affirming way aids in developing the capacity to love and be loved.

Title: The Historical Jesus: Fact and Fiction

Author: Jerome Murphy-O'Connor

Narrator: Jerome Murphy-O'Connor

Format: Original Recording

Length: 6 hrs and 35 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-15-15

Publisher: St Pauls

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

After a century of scholarship discounting even the possibility of knowing the Jesus of history, more and more contemporary scholarship is accepting the historicity of the Gospels and defending their reliability. LaGrange writing in the 1920s was the first to expose the prejudices and misconceptions of the German scholarship that rejected the miracles of Jesus and credibility of the believers' testimonies captured in the New Testament.

Rev. Murphy-O'Connor does this in this riveting series of talks. He defends the historicity of the virgin birth, the miracle stories and major events of the Gospel narratives. He explains the differences in content and style of the writers and dispels much of the cynicism that has dominated academia for the past 100 years. His insights, however, are far from commonplace and his explanation of the events recounted is fresh and provocative. The most well-read listener will come away from this series of talks with a greater knowledge of Jesus and a deeper desire to build up the body of Christ on Earth, the community of loving believers.

As human beings, we long to know that our lives will unfold in ways that we will find pleasant and rewarding. As Christians, we have a different focus - we want our lives to be pleasing to God.

Sproul outlines timeless principles for discovering and applying the will of God in day-to-day decisions. He then illustrates how these principles should inform two of the most significant decisions we face in life: the choice of a career and the choice of a spouse. Here is valuable guidance for those who are passionate to follow God.

A Thorough Review of the Topic of Will

This short little book covers a lot of ground. Dr. R. C. Sproul is a gifted teacher and I always appreciate what he has to say.

This book starts by covering the different categories of God's will, which helps us understand the Bible and life situations better when it comes to finding God's will. He then discusses the nature of free will and what it means for humans to have free will. Finally the book ends with practical chapters on finding God's will when deciding on what you do for work and finding God's will in choosing if to marry/who to marry.

Title: What Does It Mean to Be Born Again?

Language: English

Release date: 12-15-14

Publisher: christianaudio.com

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

When Jesus explained the necessity of the new birth, the Jewish leader Nicodemus asked in astonishment, "How can these things be?" Some two thousand years later, much confusion still surrounds the term "born again", though more people than ever claim to have had the experience. In this Crucial Questions audiobook, Dr. R.C. Sproul cuts through the confusion and carefully explains what it means, biblically and theologically, to be born again. He affirms, first of all, that Jesus wasn't kidding - new birth is essential - then goes on to show what the new birth is and how it occurs. His clear teaching will provide understanding for those who are unfamiliar with the new birth and deeper assurance for those who may not know where they stand with God.

Title: Jesus Transforms

Subtitle: The Heart of Teresa of Avila

Author: Vilma Seelaus

Narrator: Vilma Seelaus

Format: Unabridged

Length: 3 hrs and 6 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-17-14

Publisher: St Pauls

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 8 votes

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

These presentations approach the text of the Book of Teresas Life like that of a spiritual director asking Teresa about her prayer life. We also ask Teresa about the resistances which for years keep her heart unresponsive to offers of divine friendship. Her gift for making friends is a natural gift, which through her attachment to it drains energy for God. Only after much struggle does Teresa recognize Jesus as her most dear friend. As we meet the confessors who become her advisers, we gain insight into inept guidance and good spiritual guidance. Teresas journey offers insight for our lives today, especially for persons who offer or who seek spiritual guidance.

Title: Responding to Jesus' Deeper Invitation

Author: Ron Rolheiser

Narrator: Ron Rolheiser

Format: Original Recording

Length: 1 hr and 8 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-15-14

Publisher: St Pauls

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 7 votes

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

In a highly secularized culture, how do we move from being good people to becoming great saints? How do we come to a new maturity? How do we use the wonderful freedom God has given us? Fr. Rolheiser outlines four essentials for a deep spiritual life. First, like the good but sad rich young man we have to give our entire selves to the Lord. Secondly, we have to sustain and appreciate a high level of tension in our life as we deal with our basic humanity and our membership in the Church. Third, we have to go beyond our feelings and thoughts about faith and demonstrate it with our actions and our presence in the midst of Gods people. Fourth, we need to hear from the voice of God that we are loved and forgiven. In hearing this voice we will avoid being caught up in an endless search that so often is filled with sexual manipulation, envy, and human frustration. All of us are called to greatness. In the end, we have to give all to Christ so that unburdened from ambition, material possessions, and fears we will be able to soar. He gave them water that quenched their deepest thirst and they were convinced he was the only Way, Truth, and Life.

Ready to Launch

This is exactly the spiritual wisdom and hard-bones common sense that I needed to enter the Advent season. Live the tension. Recognize the dis-ease. Make a commitment to Greatness by making room for God. Twenty-plus years of reading Rolheiser's works, and this really synthesized so much for me. Plus I love his continual wit. Laughing saints communicate the joy of following Christ.
