Great introduction... Look forward to more!

I look forward to delving into more material by Father Himes. So I hope Audible will carry more of his works. This lecture series was a great introduction to the fundamentals of moral theology, about which I'm sure much more could be said. I l'm sure I'll listen to the complete series again to pick up on things that didn't sink in the first time. A regret I have is that the publishers would not provide me with a copy of the study guide that comes with this lecture series for free when you buy the audio from their website.

Title: Empathy for the Devil

Subtitle: Finding Ourselves in the Villains of the Bible

Author: JR. Forasteros

Narrator: Lyle Blaker

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 49 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-11-17

Publisher: christianaudio.com

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 8 votes

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

Do we have anything in common with the bad guys of the Bible? The sins of wrath, idolatry, and abuse of power are closer to us than we think. How do we guard against them? We learn not only by following moral exemplars; we also need to look at the warnings of lives gone wrong.

In this fictionalized narrative, JR. Forasteros reintroduces us to some of the most villainous characters of Scripture. He shows us what we can learn from their negative examples, with figures such as Cain, Jezebel, King Herod, and even Satan serving as cautionary tales of sin and temptation. Forasteros vividly tells their stories to help us understand their motivations, and his astute biblical and cultural exposition points out what we often miss about their lives.

We soon discover that we might have more in common with these characters than we would like to admit. But by the grace of God, we can avoid their mistakes and be freed from our own villainous tendencies. Take a fresh look at the scoundrels of Scripture, and find sound pastoral guidance here to walk the path of righteousness.

Brings a new perspective to the book!

I was a little bummed to find out JR wasnt reading this book, but Lyle did an amazing job! He was a great performer, and navigated his way through fiction and non-fiction chapter wonderfully!

The performance combined with the amazing book written by JR is a force to be reckoned with! The book is crucial for is to understand in todays world where we can be so polarized in so many issues, but JR gives a glimpse into what healthy empathy looks like, and understanding those around us (especially our enemies, and those who are seen as evil).

He also shares caution for us to look out in our own lives as you dont become evil overnight, it happens day by day, and is something that any one of us can fall into!

Hello, Saints and Sinners.

Empathy for the Devil is a fresh reminder that we are all fallible creatures in need of divine grace. The book blends together the perfect amount of fiction, personal anecdote, and scripture to humanize these biblical characters and give us a glimpse into the motivations that made them villains. With the help of this fantastic book, may we avoid the same pitfalls as these biblical villains and learn to be a little more empathic toward that mean old devil.

A look into motive....

It was exciting to look back at the stories of old with a little more purpose. And, the line about Could we be walking in their path just a few steps behind..... Wow! That will make ya think!

Title: The Triune God: Audio Lectures

Subtitle: 9 Lessons on the Biblical Revelation and Its Doctrinal Implications

Author: Fred Sanders

Narrator: Fred Sanders

Format: Original Recording

Length: 2 hrs and 34 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-17-17

Publisher: Zondervan

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

In The Triune God: Audio Lectures, theologian Fred Sanders offers thoughtful, concise, and understandable lessons that explore the biblical, creedal, and confessional shape of the doctrine of the Trinity.

In particular, Sanders secures knowledge of the triune God in rightly ordered theological language. He presents conclusions about the Trinity based on the way the Trinity was revealed in Scripture. As such, this study offers theological principles for reading Scripture in a thoroughly Trinitarian manner. In contrast to other explorations of the Trinity that rush over the biblical discussion on the way to extended accounts of historical development, Sanders spends a significant amount of time on biblical exposition and drawing the theological implications from it.

Throughout, Sanders interacts with major voices from the history of the doctrine. His arguments are indebted to and informed by the great tradition of Trinitarianism. A healthy deference to doctrinal tradition is indispensable to serious theology, and this study is an exercise in retrieval. But the fitting way to retrieve the insights of the church fathers is not to pay more attention to them than to Scripture. The most patristic way to proceed toward a well-ordered doctrine of the Trinity is, after all, to study Scripture.

The Triune God: Audio Lectures is part of The Zondervan Beyond the Basics Video Series, which is dedicated to bringing expert teaching from world's best theologians and biblical scholars directly to interested leaders. The Triune God: Audio Lectures offers the chance to learn about one of the central tenets of the Christian faith from one of today's premier theologians.

Title: True Christianity 1

Subtitle: Portable: The Portable New Century Edition (NW Century Edition)

Author: Emanuel Swedenborg

Narrator: Gordon Meyer

Format: Unabridged

Length: 28 hrs and 17 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-16-17

Publisher: Swedenborg Foundation, Inc.

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

True Christianity presents a satisfying and sensible alternative to mainstream Christianity. The last book published by Swedish scientist-turned-seer Emanuel Swedenborg, it serves as both the keystone in the architecture of his theology and the summary of his far-reaching psychological insights. This volume, the first of two, provides unique answers to humankinds perennial questions about the nature of God and about Jesus - not only what his purpose was and how he fulfilled it, but why his life and death are still relevant to us now.

The New Century Edition of the Works of Emanuel Swedenborg is a modern-language, scholarly translation of Swedenborgs theological works. The series easy-to-read style retains the dignity, variety, clarity, and gender-inclusive language of Swedenborgs original Latin, bringing his thought to life.

This portable edition contains the full text of the New Century Edition translation, but not the introduction, annotations, or other supplemental materials found in the deluxe edition.

Members Reviews:

A very spiritual gifted writer

Good book.

Five Stars

GREAT book to read

Great reading for the spiritual seeker

I was introduced to the writings of Emanuel Swedenborg in the early 70's. At the time I was new to college and was taking a class in "World Religion" and learned about Swedenborg during class. His writing was never presented to me as a stand alone religion but that his writings would help me to be a better Christian, Lutheran, or provide deeper perspective into any faith. The more I learned about his writing the more I was deeply touched by what he had to say.

In the 70's Swedenborg's most essential writings were in very hard to read translations based on the original Latin writing styles of the 1800's. As a result it was very difficult to read and understand. Now we have new translations written for this century in the "Portable New Century Editions". These are excellent works written by extremely skill translators and even though the concepts have tremendous depth they are easy to understand.

If you are interested in learning what the writings of Emanuel Swedenborg have to say about the bible, and gaining a deeper understanding I can recommend these translations with no reservation. In particular, I recommend the 'New Century Editions" of; "Heaven and Hell", "Divine Love and Wisdom", "Divine Providence", translated by George Dole. I also recommend "The True Christianity Vol. 1 and 2, translated by Jonathan Rose and "Secrets of Heaven Vol. 1 and 2, translated by Lisa Hyatt Cooper.

I'm sure someone will ask me; "Well Steven, if you had to recommend only one of these books, which would it be?" Well they are all good but "Divine Love and Wisdom" is a great place to start.

Highly recommended reading for the spiritual seeker.

Some pretty far-out stuff in this volume

True Christianity was the last book published by Swedenborg during his lifetime. He died in 1772, so this is an ancient text in some respects.

This work counts as a summary, expressed in Christian terminology, of Swedenborg's life work. It covers subjects like baptism, ritual, and what a Christian church might look like if it was renewed and remade.

Title: They Say We Are Infidels

Subtitle: On the Run from ISIS with Persecuted Christians in the Middle East

Author: Mindy Belz

Narrator: Nan McNamara

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11 hrs and 18 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-02-17

Publisher: Two Words Publishing, LLC

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 3 votes

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

Now with a new chapter!

"Everywhere militants were blowing up Christians, their churches, their shops. They threatened them with kidnapping. They promised to take their children. The message to these 'infidels': You have no place in Iraq. Pay a penalty to stay, leave, or be killed."

Sweeping from Syria into Iraq, Islamic State (ISIS) fighters have been brutalizing and annihilating Christians. How? Why? Where did the terrorists come from, and what can be done to stop them? For more than a decade, journalist Mindy Belz has reported on the ground from the Middle East, giving her unparalleled access to the story no one wants to believe. In They Say We Are Infidels, she brings the stark reality of this escalating genocide to light, tracking the stories of real-life Christians who refuse to abandon their faith - even in the face of losing everything, including their lives.

As Reading Lolita in Tehran did for Iran and We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed with Our Families did for Rwanda, They Say We Are Infidels shines light into the Middle East through the stories of everyday heroes and heroines who will not be silenced. A must-listen for anyone seeking a firmer grasp on the complex dynamics at play in war-torn Iraq and Syria, They Say We Are Infidels is the eye-opening and revelatory testimony of a journalist who heads into a war zone - and is forever changed by the people she encounters there.

Members Reviews:

Shocking

Mindy Belz spent time as an Imbed reporter, making numerous trips to Iraq, Kurdistan & Syria, discovering the devastation of ISIS. The brutality of ISIS exceeds that of the Nazis & worse. They wont quit their jihad until all their enemies are brutally subjugated, dead or ISIS is killed. There is no surrender with them.

Despite this, many Christians, knowing they are targeted, choose to stay, pray, minister to and love their enemies. They choose not to fight back.

Meanwhile the west, including the USA, refuse to get involved. They refuse to except that they created this mess.

Title: Sipping Saltwater

Subtitle: How to Find Lasting Satisfaction in a World of Thirst

Author: Steve Hoppe

Narrator: Adam Verner

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 hrs and 9 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-25-17

Publisher: christianaudio.com

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 5 votes

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

A unique take on explaining idolatry, particularly in our contemporary culture of numerous hidden idols.

The uniqueness of this book comes in the metaphor of sipping saltwater. Our idols promise us a certain level of satisfaction; they fail to quench our thirst; they leave us thirstier than we were before drinking them; and we are left with a devastating hangover (i.e. the consequences of sin) in the end. Ultimately, we must spit them out and drink Christ's living water, the only drink that will ever truly satisfy us.

This book enables readers to identify their own source of saltwater, and how to quench their thirst by drinking Jesus' living water.

Members Reviews:

What an excellent book.

This book really helped.me identify where I am worldly and how to overcome it. Highly recommend.

Encouraging book

I recently listened to the audio version Sipping Saltwater. I found it encouraging and theologically sound. Not very preachy and down to earth. It had a good balance between the author's personal story and examples from others. The author teaches to look at things as a gift from God and not to idolize things that seem good to drink on the surface (like saltwater) but would harm you in the end. Especially refreshing to me is the author's acknowledging on many issues you can go to one extreme or the other and both are sinful. Like you can over-work or be too lazy, you can not care about your body, or on the other hand worry too much about your health. The true path to righteousness is to drink from the Living Water that only Jesus can give and find our proper relationship to ourselves and to the world around us through Him. Audible narrator Adam Verner was easy to listen to.

Gripping shocking stories. Great impact on me.

I didn't know what to expect from the title. But, I had this book read in about 48hrs. Which for me and my short attention span is a miracle. What kept me engaged was the gripping true stories with a crazy shock factor. Most important...the underlying message and moral of all these stories. You will have to read to figure that out.
