Title: The Purpose Gap: Empowering Communities of Color to Find Meaning and Thrive

Author: Patrick B. Reyes

Narrator: Timothy Andrés Pabon

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 8 hours 47 minutes

Release date: May 25, 2021

Genres: Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

In The Purpose Gap, Patrick Reyes reflects on a family member's death after a long struggle with incarceration and homelessness. As he asks himself why his cousin's life had turned out so differently from his own, he realizes that it was a matter of conditions. While they both grew up in the same marginalized Chicano community in central California, Patrick found himself surrounded by a host of family, friends, and supporters. They created a different narrative for him than the one the rest of the world had succeeded in imposing on his cousin. In short, they created the conditions in which Patrick could not only survive but thrive. Far too much of the literature on leadership tells the story of heroic individuals creating their success by their own efforts. Such stories fail to recognize the structural obstacles to thriving faced by those in marginalized communities. If young people in these communities are to grow up to lives of purpose, others must help create the conditions to make that happen. Pastors, organizational leaders, educators, family, and friends must all perceive their calling to create new stories and new conditions of thriving for those most marginalized. This book offers both inspiration and practical guidance for how to do that.

Title: When God Says 'No': Facing Disappointment and Denial without Losing Heart, Losing Hope, or Losing Your Head

Author: Elizabeth Laing Thompson

Narrator: Elizabeth Laing Thompson

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 7 hours 51 minutes

Release date: May 25, 2021

Genres: Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

No is not a four-letter word, but it certainly feels like one. It's one thing to feel God's love when life goes your way, but what happens to your faith when life doesn't go as you had planned? When prayers go unanswered and dreams unfulfilled? When the sick stay sick and the dead do not rise? When you're lost in the desert and the Promised Land seems like an empty promise? When God says, 'No,' how do you grapple with disappointment? Author Elizabeth Laing Thompson walks alongside listeners as she tackles the difficulties that stymie our faith, stifle our prayers, and stunt our relationship with God. When God Says No will help you to discover hope when life feels hopeless, good in what feels bad, and new dreams when old ones have died. This book is a fantastic reminder of Who is in charge—Who He is and how He works. How He loves us and why He limits us. The better we know Him, the more we understand that He says 'No' to a few things, so He might say 'Yes' to many more.

Title: Worship and the World to Come: Exploring Christian Hope in Contemporary Worship

Author: Glenn Packiam

Narrator: Ramon De Ocampo

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 7 hours 37 minutes

Release date: May 25, 2021

Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 2

Genres: Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

Christians sing because we are people of hope. Yet our hope is unlike other kinds of hope. We are not optimists; nor are we escapists. Christian hope is uniquely shaped by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead and by the promise of our own future resurrection. How is that hope both expressed and experienced in contemporary worship? In this volume in the Dynamics of Christian Worship series, pastor, theologian, and songwriter Glenn Packiam explores what Christians sing about when they sing about hope and what kind of hope they experience when they worship together. Through his analysis and reflection, we find that Christian worship is crucial to both the proclamation and the formation of Christian hope.

Title: The Constitution in Exile: How the Federal Government Has Seized Power by Rewriting the Supreme Law of the Land

Author: Andrew P. Napolitano

Narrator: Michael Quinlan

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 8 hours 18 minutes

Release date: May 25, 2021

Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 2

Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1

Genres: Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

What ever happened to our inalienable rights? The Constitution was once the bedrock of our country, an unpretentious parchment that boldly established the God-given rights and freedoms of America. Today that parchment has been shred to ribbons, explains Fox News senior judicial analyst Judge Andrew P. Napolitano, as the federal government trounces state and individual rights and expands its reach far beyond what the Framers intended. An important follow-up to Judge Napolitano's best-selling Constitutional Chaos, this book shows with no-nonsense clarity how Congress has 'purchased' regulations by bribing states and explains how the Supreme Court has devised historically inaccurate, logically inconsistent, and even laughable justifications to approve what Congress has done. It's an exciting excursion into the dark corners of the law, showing how do-gooders, busybodies, and control freaks in government disregard the limitations imposed upon Congress by the Constitution and enact laws, illegal and unnatural, in virtually every area of human endeavor. Advance Praise for The Constitution in Exile from Left, Right, and Center 'Does anyone understand the vision of America's founding fathers? The courts and Congress apparently don't have a clue. But Judge Andrew P. Napolitano does, and so will you, if you read The Constitution in Exile.'-BILL O'REILLY  'Whatever happened to states rights, limited government, and natural law? Judge Napolitano, in his own inimitable style, takes us on a fascinating tour of the destruction of constitutional government. If you want to know how the federal government got so big and fat, read this book. Agree or disagree, this book will make you think.'-SEAN HANNITY 'In all of the American media, Judge Andrew P. Napolitano is the most persistent, uncompromising guardian of both the letter and the spirit of the Constitution, very much including the Bill of Rights. Increasingly, our Constitution is in clear and present danger. Judge Napolitano-in The Constitution in Exile-has challenged all Americans across party lines to learn the extent of this constitutional crisis.'-NAT HENTOFF  'Judge Napolitano engages here in what I do every day on my program-make you think. There's no question that potential Supreme Court nominees and what our Constitution says and doesn't say played a major role for many voters in our last couple of elections. What the judge does here is detail why the federal government claims it can regulate as well as tax everything in sight as it grows and grows. Agree or disagree with him-you need to read his latest book, think, and begin to arm yourself as you enter this important debate.' -RUSH LIMBAUGH  'At a time when we are, in Benjamin Franklin's words, sacrificing essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, here comes the judge with what should be mandatory reading for the executive branch cronies who are busy stealing power while they think we're not watching. Thank goodness the judge is watching and speaking truth to power. More than a book, this is an emergency call to philosophical arms, one we must heed before it's too late.' -ALAN COLMES

Title: Sherman: The Ruthless Victor

Series: Part of The Generals

Author: Ed Breslin, Agostino Von Hassell

Narrator: Dave Hoffman

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 4 hours 32 minutes

Release date: May 25, 2021

Genres: Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

He was named after an enemy of the United States.   He was proslavery despite his loyalty to the Union.  He burned and pillaged an already beaten foe on a march history will never forget. If, as he famously said, 'war is hell,' William Tecumsah Sherman can be classified as a flamethrower of ruthless ferocity.  Defined by his contradictions, Sherman achieved immortality in his role as Ulysses Grant's hammer in the Civil War.  A failed banker and lawyer, Sherman found his calling with the outbreak of war in 1861.  With indecision a common ailment among Union generals early the conflict, Sherman's temperament and unwavering focus on the mission at hand-preserving the Union-helped shift the fortunes of North and South. Authors Agostino Von Hassell and Ed Breslin present Sherman as once man and phenomenon.  From Bull Run to Shiloh, from Vicksburg to Chattanooga, and from Atlanta to Savannah, Sherman carved the Confederacy with a feral singularity of purpose.  At times disheveled and informal to a fault, 'Uncle Billy' became a hero whose legend only grew with allegations of villainy.

Title: The Last Hours of Jesus: From Gethsemane to Golgotha

Author: Ralph Gorman

Narrator: Tom Parks

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 9 hours 19 minutes

Release date: May 18, 2021

Genres: Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

Each of the four Gospels tells only part of the story of Jesus . . . and all of them leave out background facts that are essential to understanding events surrounding Jesus' arrest, trial, and crucifixion. That's because the Gospels were written for readers already familiar with many of the persons, places, parties, and politics that governed events in those long-past days. Not for modern audiences, twenty centuries later! Which is why Fr. Ralph Gorman has here crafted a single, unforgettable, detailed account that combines material from all four Gospels with critically-important Old Testament passages, plus relevant facts from Jewish and Roman history, laws, traditions, and practices. He also includes helpful first century military, political, geographical, and archaeological information and keen depictions of Gospel places based on his three years residence there. The result? A richly-textured, moment-by-moment account that brings to vivid life the powerful events that transpired between Jesus' Agony in the Garden and His death on the Cross—a narrative that actually provides a fuller treatment of the events of Passion Week than is found in any of the Gospels.

Title: Handing Down the Faith: How Parents Pass Their Religion on to the Next Generation

Author: Amy Adamczyk, Christian Smith

Narrator: Samara Naeymi

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 8 hours 54 minutes

Release date: May 18, 2021

Genres: Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

The most important influence shaping the religious and spiritual lives of children, youth, and teenagers is their parents. A myriad of studies show that the parents of American youth play the leading role in shaping the character of their religious and spiritual lives, even well after they leave home and often for the rest of their lives. We know a lot about the importance of parents in faith transmission. However we know much less about the actual beliefs, feelings, and activities of the parents themselves, what Christian Smith and Amy Adamczyk call the “intergenerational transmission of religious faith and practice.” To address that gap, this book reports the findings of a new national study of religious parents in the United States. The findings and conclusions in Handing Down the Faith are based on 215 in-depth, personal interviews with religious parents from many traditions and different parts of the country, and on sophisticated analyses of two nationally representative surveys of American parents about their religious parenting. Handing Down the Faith explores the background beliefs informing how and why religious parents seek to pass on religion to their children; examines how parenting styles interact with parent religiousness to shape effective religious transmission; shows how parents have been influenced by their experiences as children influenced by their own parents; reveals how religious parents view their congregations and what they most seek out in a local church, synagogue, temple, or mosque; and explores the experiences and outlooks of immigrant parents including Latino Catholics, East Asian Buddhists, South Asian Muslims, and Indian Hindus. Smith and Adamczyk step back to consider how American religion has transformed over the last 100 years and to explain why parents today shoulder such a huge responsibility in transmitting religious faith and practice to their children. The book is rich in empirical evidence and unique in many of the topics it explores and explains, providing a variety of sometimes counterintuitive findings that will interest scholars of religion; social scientists interested in the family, parenting, and socialization; clergy and religious educators and leaders; and religious parents themselves.
