Publisher's Summary:

Every woman has had this experience: you get to the end of the day and realize you did nothing for you. And if you go days, weeks, or even months in this cycle, you begin to feel like you have lost a bit of yourself.

While life is busy with a litany of must-dos - work, child-rearing, keeping house, grocery shopping, laundry and on and on - women do not have to push their own needs aside. Yet this is often what happens. There's just no time, right? Wrong.

In this practical and liberating audiobook, Jessica Turner empowers women to take back pockets of time they already have in their day in order to practice self-care and do the things they love. Turner uses her own experiences and those of women across the country to teach listeners how to balance their many responsibilities while still taking time to invest in themselves. She also addresses barriers to this lifestyle, such as comparison and guilt, and demonstrates how eliminating these feelings and making changes to one's schedule will make the listener a better wife, mother, and friend.

Perfect for any woman who is doing everything for everyone - except herself - The Fringe Hours is ideal for both individuals and small group use.

Members Reviews:

I would rather have my hours back, honestly.

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Nope. Too dry and too repetitive.

What could Jessica N. Turner have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Honestly, I know the author had great intentions with this book, and the message is good. It's just very repetitive and sort of bossy. For instance, I was really put off by the section that explained what I need to do to take good care of myself, such as yearly exams, drinking water, exercising and such. I don't get that from a book called "The Fringe Hours."

Did Carla Mercer Meyer do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

Yeah, not much differentiating that needed to be done. Narration was fine.

Did The Fringe Hours inspire you to do anything?

Maybe. To think about getting up a bit earlier and to delete facebook. That's about it.

Any additional comments?

Book could have been half as long.

Love this book so much I need a hard copy now!

This book was about so much more than the title eluded to (guilt, comparison, thankfulness, community) and I loved the way the author (Jessica Turner) curated so many quotes, survey responded answers and facts from studies to create this book. I also loved how she gave so many specific examples from her life and lives of many women she knows. It helps me to understand how to apply her insights all the more. I wish every woman in the world would read this book. It's phenomenal! I finally feel like I have the right to take care of myself and not feel guilty.

A wonderful book for busy moms and women

This book was wonderful, even if you already know that you should be taking time for yourself, I know so many moms ( myself included) who don't. There is a huge factor of "mommy guilt" that goes into our choices. I loved all her real, practical, and useable advice about how to fit in more time for yourself. Something's I do, like reading when I'm waiting, but other things I really hadn't thought of.

Want to understand intimacy with Christ, this is your book!

This simple yet beautiful picture of the chambers of intimacy with Christ should drive every believer to a place that the soul yearns for, intimacy with Christ! Fantastic as a small group of men have been transformed utilizing this resource to understand the Fathers heart, thank you Mr Fleming for being a vessel for Christ!

A real blessing!

Rocky sounded like a friendly tour guide! God put this in my path for a reason- I so needed to hear these words and get myself back on track. Many times I felt tears welling up, vocally agreeing, and 'amening' all over the place. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Guide to intimate prayer time

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 116 votes

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

People of faith are lined up in lanes all over this globe, batons in hand, running the race that matters most in this world - the divine relay. The divine relay is tough. The track is treacherous. There are so many ways to mangle the exchange zones, to overshoot, to be knocked off the track, to drop the baton, to stop running. The church needs champion runners who never give up, who persevere no matter what they encounter, who run to win, unstoppable, no matter the cost. If we pass the baton of faith fluidly in the exchange zone from person to person, from generation to generation, we speed unstoppable toward the finish line. But if we fumble the exchange, the whole team, the whole church, suffers. Some runners even stop running and walk right out of the race. Discover just how important it is to get the "exchange zone" right, to ensure that no runners stop running and walk off the field, but that every runner becomes unstoppable in their dedication to carry their baton of faith to the next runner.

Start Now

This book blew me away. I can start now with what I have. No need to over research or analyze. God will use me and grow me through my obedience and stepping out in faith to accomplish more than I can ever imagine. Beautifully written and narrated.

For those facing challenging opportunities

At times the accent of narrator was hard to understand but it did help me feel like Christine was talking. Excellent life changing information on how God uses challenging opportunities to shift us toward His greatest will for our lives.

Inspirational!

I loved it! It gave me the strength to take my next steps in life and go beyond my comfort zone!

Captivating!

This book was so well written!! It kept you engaged from cover to cover! The reality of the book in addition to the parallels about the baton exchange were so well blended! Incredible read!!

Title: The Hole in Our Gospel, Special Edition

Subtitle: What Does God Expect of Us? The Answer That Changed My Life and Might Just Change the World

Author: Richard Stearns

Narrator: Tommy Cresswell

Format: Unabridged

Length: 12 hrs and 4 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-19-14

Publisher: Thomas Nelson Publishers

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 44 votes

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

"Preach the Gospel always. Use words if necessary." (St. Francis of Assisi)

It is 1998, and Richard Stearnss heart is breaking as he sits in a mud hut and listens to the story of an orphaned child in Rakai, Uganda. His journey to this place took more than a long flight from the United States to Africa. It took answering Gods call on his life, a call that hurtled him out of his corner office at Lenox - Americas finest tableware company - to this humble corner of Uganda.

This is a story of how a corporate CEO faced his struggle to obey God, whatever the cost, and his passionate call for Christians to change the world by actively living out their faith. Using his journey as an example, Stearns explores the hole that exists in our understanding of the Gospel.

Two thousand years ago 12 people changed the world. Stearns believes it can happen again.

Life changing

This book just might redirect your life. Listen to it and let God speak to you.

The Christian Response to World Poverty

My favorite part of the book was the author's story about how God miraculously called him into ministry at World Vision. I also liked some of the chapters on bible exegesis with a focus on the Church's responsibility in the world. The resources and tips in the appendix were also helpful. What I did like, and have long supported, but was hoping the book wasn't solely focused on, was world poverty. This is a very important need in the world but it is not the only need. Understandable from the author's perspective, given his personal experience, but as someone currently trying to decide what direction to hone my calling in the world, this book did not help me decide what ills in the world I should focus on. I was hoping for a broader overview and perspective as to gain greater direction for myself and my ministry. Also the author puts greater emphasis on the social gospel (helping others) than the actual gospel of Christ. Unlike the many harmful movements that ignore or neglect one in order to advance the other, he does have both, so I don't say this in admonition but in warning, but I still think he slightly over-emphasizes the former. The book, while touching on the spiritual needs of man, focuses primarily on the church meeting his physical needs. He does include it so this is not a rebuke but for socially-minded, less mature Christians reading this it is a warning. Man's deepest needs are spiritual and if we take care of our fellow man's flesh but do not heal the spirit we are not loving them enough. He does talk a little about several other forms of injustice in the world (what I was looking for) but the real meat and potatoes of the book is about poverty. Regardless of what area of the world we end up, or what form of evil and injustice each of us finds our calling towards, to bring the love and truth of Christ to, the fact remains, it is up to the Church! @MPoweredChristian

Critical for any Christian to read.

Rich talks about his own journey in a way that relates to anyone trying to find answers in third own life about what God's will is and how you can personally fit into it. I don't say this ever but this book changed my life.

Title: The Advocate

Author: Randy Singer

Narrator: David Cochran Heath

Format: Unabridged

Length: 15 hrs and 4 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-07-14

Publisher: christianaudio.com

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 187 votes

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

At the trial of Christ, Theophilus, brilliant young assessore raised in the Roman aristocracy, stands behind Pontius Pilate and whispers, "Offer to release Barabbas." The strategy backfires, and Theophilus never forgets the sight of an innocent man unjustly suffering the worst of all possible deaths - Roman crucifixion.

Three decades later, Theophilus has proven himself in the legal ranks of the Roman Empire. He has survived the insane rule of Caligula and has weathered the cruel tyrants quest to control the woman he loves. He has endured the mindless violence of the gladiator games and the backstabbing intrigue of the treason trials.

Now he must face another evil Caesar, defending the man Paul in Neros deranged court. Can Theophilus mount a defense that will keep another innocent man from execution?

The advocates first trial altered the course of history. His last will change the fate of an empire.

Members Reviews:

The Advocate

Would you listen to The Advocate again? Why?

Yes, I would listen to this book again. This was a book that I would not have normally purchased, but I was intrigued and to my surprise it was great. This is a "can't put it down" book. Loved it and will read it again.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Theophilus the main character was my favorite. He was a man of great knowledge, character and pursued the truth. He faced many trials and triumphed it all.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The last chapter.

Any additional comments?

If I could give this book more stars, I would and will recommend it highly to all of my fellow readers.

Very good.

Loved how the Biblical and Roman history was woven together. Narration was good. My first audio book

Historical fiction at its best.

I don't usually like historical fiction but this book was fascinating. The famous figures of history seen as children being educated by another famous scholar was delightful. You could see future personalities developing. There was conflict and action in the first chapter. This book kept the story moving, the intrigue going strong and never bogged down with historical facts. The character growth was believable and not overdone. A truly enjoyable book even without the historical framework.

I would give it 10 stars if I could

I am a Randy singer fan and in my opinion, this is his best work to date. I am of the belief that no narrative will do this book justice- you just have to listen to it. This is definitely a life changing book well worth listening to twice. There is just too much to get it all in the first time around.

Awesome audio performance

I loved this book it has inspired me to continue my research into the early church history. The production with excellent the narration was spot on and I'd recommend this book to everyone Christian and non-christian alike.

Title: Is God Anti-Gay?

Author: Sam Allberry

Narrator: Sam Allberry

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 50 mins

Release date: 04-09-14

Publisher: christianaudio.com

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 95 votes

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

It's the hot topic of the moment. Christians, the church, and the Bible seem to be out of step with modern attitudes towards homosexuality. And there is growing hostility towards those who hold a different view. So is God homophobic? And what do we say, and how do we relate to to both Christians and non-Christians who experience same-sex attraction. In this short, simple book, Sam Allberry wants to help confused Christians understand what God has said about these questions in the scriptures, and offers a positive and liberating way forward through the debate.

Members Reviews:

Excellent and to the Point

It's a short read but full of Biblical truth. As the lines of morality become increasingly gray it is nice to hear some simple truth in an area that is shrouded in a lot of confusion and pain. Sam does a great job of sticking to the facts. I would have liked some more personal stories or experiences in the book since most of the information I have heard before. But for a person who doesn't know what the Bible says about homosexuality this is an excellent and simple read or in my case - listen. I love a good audio book. It allows me to get so much more information crammed in my brain while driving or doing chores.

Very honest and thought provoking

I would recommend this book to any Christian families dealing with homosexuality and same sex attraction. We have read a lot of books and listened to many podcasts on this subject. It is especially good to hear a godly perspective of someone who struggles with this issue yet desires and pursues God's plan for his life.

A lot of information in a compact book.

I listened to this book via Audible. The author had some very simple yet profound points on Homosexuality and the engagement of as a community. He focuses how this is a sin and not the "great sin". He offers encouragement for those struggling, as he is, and how the church should welcome the gay struggler with a focus on the Gospel and not the person's sexuality.

The presentation of the Gospel

This book is for anyone who holds tightly to the Gospel, who seeks to share the Gospel, and anyone who needs the Gospel.

Thank you.

Precisely and concisely what Christendom needs to hear today

Sam Allberry is the lightning bolt the church needs today to wake up to the reality of how ineffective we have been at connecting the LGBTQ+ community with the Gospel. Our perspectives, attitudes and communication all need to be altered so we are aligned with how Jesus views all of humanity. Not one of us is better or worse than anyone else. We all desperately need a Savior and are called to love our neighbor. Sam communicates this beautifully in the context of human sexuality and identity, with honesty and transparency. Not an easy or popular message to present, but you do it well, Sam.

Title: Apologia Pro Vita Sua [A Defense of One's Life]

Author: John Henry Newman

Narrator: Greg Wagland

Format: Unabridged

Length: 15 hrs and 41 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-04-13

Publisher: Magpie Audio

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 32 votes

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

Apologia Pro Vita Sua (A Defence Of His Life) by Cardinal Newman offers a marvellous insight into the mind of a devout Christian, a colossal figure of the nineteenth century. It is, moreover, one of the greatest spiritual autobiographies ever written in the English language, laying out the development of John Henry Newman's religious opinions up to the year 1845 when he finally converted to Roman Catholicism.

It was Charles Kingsley's withering and defamatory attack which prompted its writing, giving Newman 'ten weeks of anxious work', as he pieced together the evolution of his beliefs. Newman's beautiful prose has rightly been described as 'regal', the scholarly arguments are crystal clear and the structure reassuringly chronological; his utter demolition of Kingsley's accusations (especially that of untruthfulness) at the end of the Apologia is meticulous, inexorable and truly awe-inspiring. It is read by Greg Wagland.

Members Reviews:

newman's intellectual and spiritual journey

Would you consider the audio edition of Apologia Pro Vita Sua [A Defense of One's Life] to be better than the print version?

I have read the print version of the Apologia and also listened to the audio book. My conclusion is that the audio is superior because it brings out Newman's flowing eloquence more clearly and his wit is more evident. These qualities are less noticeable in the printed version.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Of course in this book, the main character is Newman, and his own introspective analysis makes the book intellectually engaging and fascinating as a story.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The entire book is moving, but Newman's final discovery of the principle of catholicity in relation to antiquity is the most fascinating.

Any additional comments?

Newman's book articulates why he left Protestantism to become Catholic. He answers charges that his motives were dishonest or founded on ignorance, and he does so with brilliance. This is a classic in the English language as well as a top-notch work in apologetics. All Protestants (high or low church) ought to read it.

Newman

Where does Apologia Pro Vita Sua [A Defense of One's Life] rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?

Number 2

What was one of the most memorable moments of Apologia Pro Vita Sua [A Defense of One's Life]?

In some sections, particularly in his footnotes, Newman explains theological issues, although that is not the main thrust of the work.

Have you listened to any of Greg Waglands other performances before? How does this one compare?

No first time and its great!

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Chapter 4

Any additional comments?

John has a great intellect.

An unparalleled apologetic autobiography

Would you listen to Apologia Pro Vita Sua [A Defense of One's Life] again? Why?

I would absolutely listen to Apologia Pro Vita Sua again. In this masterful work by Newman, he defends his life's work in transforming the face of Anglicanism culminating in his conversion to Roman Catholicism.
