Title: Faithful Antiracism: Moving Past Talk to Systemic Change

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 8 hours 59 minutes

Release date: March 22, 2022

Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1

Genres: Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

It's time to move past talk. It's no longer news to most of us that our society has a deep-seated racism problem. Christians of all ethnic and economic backgrounds are tired of seeing the ugly legacy of racism play out before their eyes and feeling ill-equipped to respond. They watch as friends and family members leave the visible church over this issue, or fall prey to a gospel of White nationalism that is an affront to the cross of Christ. Racism presents itself as an undefeatable foe—a sustained scourge on the reputation of the church. In Faithful Antiracism, Christina Barland Edmondson and Chad Brennan take confidence from the truth that Christ has overcome the world, including racism, and offer clear analysis and interventions to challenge and resist its pernicious power. Drawing on brand-new research from the landmark Race, Religion, and Justice Project led by Michael Emerson and others, this book represents the most comprehensive study on Christians and race since Emerson's own book Divided by Faith (2001). It invites listeners to put this data to immediate practical use, applying it to their own specific context. Compelled by our grievous social moment and by the timeless truth of Scripture, Faithful Antiracism will equip listeners to move past talk and enter the fight against racism in both practical and hopeful ways.

Author: Nicole Schwarz LMFT

Narrator: Eleanor Caudill

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 6 hours 14 minutes

Release date: March 15, 2022

Genres: Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

As parents, we want to shape our children into emotionally mature and healthy human beings. But we cannot effectively shape our children's emotional well-being until we've addressed our own traumas and emotional needs. In It Starts with You, marriage and family therapist and parent coach Nicole Schwarz offers a nonjudgmental, shame-free guide to parenting children with a calm confidence. Working from a place of grace and compassion, she encourages us to explore how our history, thoughts, and assumptions impact our parenting decisions. Moving away from traditional discipline strategies, Schwarz focuses on the importance of having a calm brain, connected relationships, respectful conversations, and a coaching mindset with our kids. It Starts with You lays out a five-step process you can turn to whenever you're stuck in a difficult parenting situation. Each step is grounded in research and presented in a way that is easy to understand. Rather than adding unnecessary pressure, we learn that kids do not need perfect parents, but parents who are willing to learn, grow, and move forward with them in a positive direction.

Title: The Resurrection of Jesus: Apologetics, Polemics, History

Author: Dale C. Allison Jr

Narrator: Jim Denison

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 16 hours 34 minutes

Release date: March 15, 2022

Genres: Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

The earliest traditions around the narrative of Jesus's resurrection are considered in this landmark work by Dale C. Allison, Jr, drawing together the fruits of his decades of research into this issue at the very core of Christian identity. Allison returns to the ancient sources and earliest traditions, charting them alongside the development of faith in the resurrection in the early church and throughout Christian history. Beginning with historical-critical methodology that examines the empty tomb narratives and early confessions, Allison moves on to consider the resurrection in parallel with other traditions and stories, including Tibetan accounts of saintly figures being assumed into the light, in the chapter 'Rainbow Body.' Finally, Allison considers what might be said by way of results or conclusions on the topic of resurrection, offering perspectives from both apologetic and skeptical viewpoints. In his final section of 'modest results' he considers scholarly approaches to the resurrection in light of human experience, adding fresh nuance to a debate that has often been characterized in overly simplistic terms of 'it happened' or 'it didn't.'

Title: Following the Master: A Biblical Theology of Discipleship

Author: Michael J. Wilkins

Narrator: Tom Parks

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 15 hours 30 minutes

Release date: March 15, 2022

Genres: Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

In the aftermath of the waves of discipleship programs that have swept over the church in the last 30 years, clergy, and laypersons alike are more confused than ever about what it means to be a disciple of Jesus Christ. What should a disciple of Jesus look and act like today? What is the relationship between discipleship and salvation, between discipleship and sanctification, between discipleship and ministry? How were disciples of Jesus different from other disciples in the ancient world? How did the early church carry out Jesus' agenda in 'making disciples of all the nations'? In Following the Master, Michael J. Wilkins addresses these and many other questions that perplex the church today- not by offering another discipleship program or manual but by presenting a comprehensive biblical theology of discipleship. Following the Master compares other forms of master-disciple relationships in existence in the ancient Judaism and Greco-Roman world, traces Jesus' steps as he called and developed disciples, and Mediterranean world as it followed Jesus' command to make disciples. Following the Master lays the groundwork necessary for developing biblical discipleship ministries in the church, on the mission field, and in parachurch ministries. It is essential for all pastors, students, and Christian workers. Discussion questions are available in the audiobook companion PDF download.

Title: Discipleship that Fits: The Five Kinds of Relationships God Uses to Help Us Grow

Author: Alex Absalom, Bobby Harrington

Narrator: Van Tracy

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 8 hours 22 minutes

Release date: March 15, 2022

Genres: Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

For far too long, the church has tried to make disciples using a one-size-fits-all approach. Some churches advocate 1-on-1 discipling, others try getting everyone into a small group, while still others training through mission trips or service projects. Yet others focus all their efforts on attracting people to a large group gathering to hear biblical teaching and preaching. But does one size really fit everyone? Based on careful biblical study and years of experience making disciples in the local church, Bobby Harrington and Alex Absalom have identified five key relationships where discipleship happens in our lives. In each relational context we need to understand how discipleship occurs and we need to set appropriate expectations for each context. Discipleship That Fits shows you the five key ways discipleship occurs. It looks at how Jesus made disciples and how disciples were formed in the early church. Each of the contexts is necessary at different times and in different ways as a person grows toward maturity in Christ: - Public Relationships: The church gathering corporately for worship - Social Relationships: Networks of smaller relationships where we engage in mission and live out our faith in community - Personal Relationships: Small groups of six to sixteen people where we challenge and encourage one another on a regular basis - Transparent Relationships: Close relationships of three to four where we share intimate details of our lives for accountability - The Divine Relationship: Our relationship with Jesus Christ where we grow through the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit Filled with examples and stories, Alex and Bobby show you how to develop discipleship practices in each relational context by sharing how Jesus did it, how the early church practiced it, and how churches are discipling people today. Accompanying figures, resources, and appendixes are available in the audiobook companion PDF download.

A Very Fine House is an intimate memoir of a mother's Norman Rockwell family turned upside down by her daughter's descent into meth addiction and crime. Bright and beautiful, Annie is an unlikely candidate for meth. Living fast and hard on the streets of Bend, Oregon, she commits crimes against herself, the community, and her own family. The author chronicles her child's addiction in a way that other writers have not written about addiction.

Kinks in the perfect life appear. When Annie's alcoholism, drug use, and criminality ensue, Barbara fights to save her. There is all-consuming grief and the devastating loss of not just her daughter, but her dream for her own life as well. Barbara eventually finds support and a new way of thinking. While she continues the battle to save her daughter, she ultimately finds the courage to save herself. The conclusion deals with Annie's recovery--and Barbara's. Both experience a spiritual awakening and are transformed. A new and better dream for Barbara's life is born.

Title: The Apocalypse Code: Find Out What the Bible REALLY Says About the End Times... and Why It Matters Today

Author: Hank Hanegraaff

Narrator: Hank Hanegraaff

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 10 hours 28 minutes

Release date: March 15, 2022

Genres: Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

The Apocalypse Code is a call to understand what the Bible really says about the end times and why how we understand it matters so much in today’s world. Breaking the code of the book of Revelation has become an international obsession. Hank Hanegraaff, president and chairman of the Christian Research Institute, believes the result has been rampant misreading of Scripture, bad theology, and even bad politics and foreign policy. Hanegraaff argues that the key to understanding the last book of the Bible is the other 65 books of the Bible - not current events or recent history, and certainly not any complicated charts. The Apocalypse Code offers sane answers to some very controversial questions: - What does it mean to take the book of Revelation (and the rest of the Bible) literally? - Who are the “Antichrist” and the “Great Whore of Babylon”, and what is the real meaning of “666”? - How does our view of the end times change the way we think about the crisis in the Middle East? - Are two-thirds of all Jews really headed for an apocalyptic holocaust? This book is a call to understand what the Bible really says about the end times and why the way we understand it matters so much in today’s world.
