Title: God's Ghostwriters: Enslaved Christians and the Making of the Bible

Author: Candida Moss

Narrator: Gabra Zackman

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 8 hours 15 minutes

Release date: March 26, 2024

Genres: Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

From an award-winning biblical scholar, the untold story of how enslaved people created, gave meaning to, and spread the message of the New Testament, shaping the very foundations of Christianity in ways both subtle and profound. For the past two thousand years, Christian tradition, scholarship, and pop culture have credited the authorship of the New Testament to a select group of men: Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and Paul. But hidden behind these named and sainted individuals are a cluster of enslaved coauthors and collaborators. Although they almost all go unnamed and uncredited, these essential workers were responsible for producing the earliest manuscripts of the New Testament: making the parchment and papyri on which Christian texts were written, taking dictation, and polishing and refining the words of the apostles. When the Christian message began to move independently from the first apostles, it was enslaved missionaries who undertook the dangerous and arduous journeys across the Mediterranean and along dusty Roman roads to move Christianity from Jerusalem and the Levant to Rome, Spain, North Africa, and Egypt—and into the pages of history. The influence of these enslaved contributors on the spread of Christianity, the development of foundational Christian concepts, and the making of the Bible was enormous, yet their role has been almost entirely overlooked until now. Filled with profound revelations both for what it means to be a Christian and for how we read individual texts themselves, God’s Ghostwriters is a groundbreaking and rigorously researched book about how enslaved people shaped the Bible, and with it all of Christianity.

Title: If I Don't Laugh, I'll Cry: How Death, Debt, and Comedy Led to a Life of Faith, Farming, and Forgetting What I Came into This Room For

Author: Molly Stillman

Narrator: Molly Stillman, Lisa Larsen

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 8 hours 4 minutes

Release date: March 26, 2024

Genres: Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

Read by the author. Some people have life all figured out. This book is for the rest of us. Molly Stillman has lived the type of life that when shared, people stop in their tracks and ask “Wait, what happened?” Molly’s mother, Lynda Van Devanter Buckley, served as an Army nurse during the Vietnam War and wrote the bestselling memoir Home Before Morning. When Molly was seventeen, Lynda passed away after an eight-year battle with an autoimmune disorder due to her exposure to Agent Orange. Four years later Molly turned twenty-one and unexpectedly inherited a quarter of a million dollars from her mother’s estranged family’s estate. Through “retail therapy” and a long series of grossly irresponsible financial decisions, Molly found herself broke with over $36,000 in credit card debt less than two years later. Shame, guilt, and embarrassment set in. With aspirations of a career in comedy, Molly used humor to mask the pain and brokenness she felt, believing that if she looked joyful and put together on the outside, it would eventually be true on the inside. Instead, she spent the next few years depressed, lonely, and feeling alienated from those closest to her. But an unlikely call with a compassionate credit counselor, meeting the spreadsheet-loving man who eventually became her husband, and a surprising visit to a church started her on a path that changed everything. If I Don’t Laugh, I’ll Cry offers humor and hope to all of us who have struggled to reconcile the life we are living with the life we thought we wanted to have. Molly will bring you into the tension of feeling both joy and grief and show you that every broken, messed up story has a purpose, and it’s possible to gain everything if you’re willing to surrender it all to Jesus.

Title: Whatever Happens: How to Stand Firm in Your Faith When the World Is Falling Apart

Author: Robert J. Morgan

Narrator: Robert J. Morgan

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 7 hours 41 minutes

Release date: March 19, 2024

Genres: Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

Read by the author. Do you struggle keeping your faith in a world that's losing its mind? These 31 short chapters take a deep dive into the book of Philippians, which Robert Morgan says is the Bible's handbook for tackling each day with an undaunted attitude. Life is unpredictable, and the world is unstable. People have never been so confounded, sensing our culture, economy, and geopolitical systems are spiraling downward. Even in our personal lives, none of us knows what will happen next—which is why God gave us the book of Philippians. This short letter—just over 100 verses—can help us learn to live overflowing lives in an overwhelming world. Philippians is one of the most practical books of the Bible, which Robert Morgan says is as fresh as ever. Its theme can be summed up in these verses: 'Whatever happens, conduct yourself in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then . . . I will know that you stand firm in the one Spirit, striving together as one for the faith of the gospel without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you' (1:27–28). Among the many lessons in Whatever Happens, readers will learn how to: - Use prayer to energize their life - Make today about others - Stay as cheerful as possible in all circumstances - Let others lean on their strength - Start everything with praise and end everything with prayer   As the apostle Paul wrote his letter to the Philippians from a prison cell, he was facing dire circumstances and an unsettled future. Would he be released or executed? But he knew one thing—that whatever happened, he was going to stand firm in his faith and live a life worthy of the gospel. And no matter what we are going through today, we can do the same. The map and reference graphic can be found in the audiobook companion PDF download.

Title: God's Grace for Every Family: Biblical Encouragement for Single-Parent Families and the Churches that Seek to Love them Well

Author: Anna Meade Harris

Narrator: Mac Harris, Anna Meade Harris

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 6 hours 53 minutes

Release date: March 19, 2024

Genres: Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

Read by the author with Mac Harris. Winner of the 2024 Christianity Today Book Award for Marriage, Family, and Singleness Weaving her own story together with nine attributes of God's character revealed from Scripture, Anna Meade Harris speaks to vulnerable single parents and to churches who want to love them well. After the death of her husband, Anna Meade Harris discovered that single-parent families don't seem to have a place in the local church. Because she and her kids no longer fit into the Christian family mold, the body of Christ felt alien and strange when Anna's family needed it the most. Belonging, even in the most loving church, was a challenge. God's Grace for Every Family was born out of Anna's desire to help other families avoid feeling the loneliness that hers felt. This gospel-centered work addresses the single parent who needs to know that God sees, loves, and cares for their family. The book also addresses the church at large, in the hopes that Christians will come to understand the unique needs of single-parent families and do a better job of welcoming, valuing, and loving them. The book begins with Anna's story and then presents information about single-parent families in America, providing an understanding of their unique needs and complex dynamics. The chapters that follow each focus on a particular area of need and contain: - Exegesis of Scripture demonstrating the character of God in relationship with his people - Short narratives collected through interviews with single parents from a variety of backgrounds - Suggestions for how the church can serve God and families   This book is written for all Christians, married or single, parent or childless. It's written for widows, divorcees, and those who never married. And it's written for the congregants, pastors, leaders, and church family who wants to embrace every family and learn how to serve them well. By addressing families and the church together, God's Grace for Every Family opens the door for gracious conversations and greater unity in the family of God.

Release date: March 12, 2024

Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 1

Genres: Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

Publishers Weekly and ECPA Bestseller Discover the completely unique qualifications and accomplishments of Jesus Christ--the Creator of everything, the King who will set you free, and the best friend you could ever have. Over nearly five decades of walking with God, podcaster, author and Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson has learned a thing or two about why Jesus is the only one worth following. Of all the things we could put our trust in, only Jesus has the answers to our questions and the solutions for our problems. Plenty of people claim to have the answers for a better life. Politicians claim they can fix our nation. Scientists and technologists trumpet the latest and greatest discoveries that'll make everything right. Self-help gurus offer one pathway to peace after another. But it's no secret that our world is increasingly divided and broken--and we've got the fear, anxiety, and hopelessness to prove it. Jesus alone can make good on the promise of lasting peace, real freedom, and life eternal. With his trademark directness, humor, and insight, Phil will help you - experience Jesus as the Creator and all-powerful Sustainer of all creation; - reconcile your own brokenness and sinfulness with Jesus’ unending well healing, forgiveness, and peace; - develop the eyes to see Jesus for who he really is: the friend who will always be there for you, no matter what mistakes you've made; and - look to the Bible to get to know Jesus and better understand His grace and love for you.   Politics won't save you. Science can't give you the power to sidestep death. The pleasures and joys of this world are fleeting at best, damaging counterfeits at worst. But Phil has good news for you: Jesus offers life, joy, and peace, and he's never more than a prayer away. Look for additional bold, biblical content from Phil: - Uncanceled - Jesus Politics - Theft of America’s Soul - Your Daily Phil

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 10 hours 17 minutes

Release date: March 12, 2024

Genres: Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

Read by the authors. A hopeful and practical model for what it means to be a Christian and a culture-maker in a world of hurt and wondrous possibility, from multi–Grammy winner Charlie Peacock and his wife and author, Andi Ashworth. Do you feel powerless and overwhelmed by the pain and suffering all around you? Have you ever asked, What can I do to mend the world, my family, or my own life? And if I could, why bother? Does my own small part even matter? If so, here comes hope from two guides who are further down the road. Charlie and Andi have written a collection of letters to Christians and spiritual seekers who think deeply and care acutely about the state of the world and their personal spheres of influence. In Why Everything That Doesn't Matter, Matters So Much, beloved and trusted mentors, Charlie and Andi offer you: - Thought-provoking explorations into the many facets of Christian culture care and making, from the kitchen to Carnegie Hall. - Practical guidance for how to care for and improve the quality of human life, locally and globally, no matter your vocation. - A theology of imagination and creativity that provides a framework for all of life. - A model for expressing love in marriage, friendship, citizenship, and every kind of work—even in the midst of cynicism, fear, exhaustion, and oppression.   It might be said of Christians that our lives are either moving in the direction of the redemption Jesus has on offer, or away from it. Each of these letters is a gentle nudge in the direction of God's powerfully ordinary purpose for each of us, no matter what the future holds, to participate fully in the beautiful, redemptive work of Christ. Includes interviews with best-selling author, Dr. Curt Thompson, M.D., a pioneer in psychiatry, neurobiology, and Christian spirituality; Dr. Steven Garber, author of Visions of Vocation, Sr. Fellow with the Murdock Charitable Trust and cofounder of Wedgwood Circle; and Ruby Amanfu, Nashville recording artist and (2x) Grammy-nominated songwriter for Song of the Year (H.E.R., Alicia Keys & Brandi Carlile).

Title: Fighting for Family: The Relentless Pursuit of Building Belonging

Author: Julie Bennett, Chris Bennett

Narrator: Julie Bennett, Chris Bennett

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 5 hours 20 minutes

Release date: March 12, 2024

Genres: Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

Read by the authors. How to combat our loneliness epidemic, build deep connection, and fight for (not with!) the ones you love, no matter what challenges you face. In a time when so many suffer from isolation and it feels like developing authentic relationships and true belonging is harder than ever, Chris and Julie Bennett invite you into their story to discover why we were meant for togetherness and why it's worth facing any amount of hardship to keep our faith, families, and communities at the center of who we are. When Chris and Julie and their four kids moved from Norman, Oklahoma, to Los Angeles (which just happened to be one of the most disconnected cities in the United States), they knew they were setting out on a great adventure. They’d be leaving behind the church they had pastored, the comfort of their established community, and the familiarity of their daily routines, but the new city promised to bring some much-needed change. What they didn't expect was how this adventure—complicated by a cancer diagnosis, a relapse, and a pandemic—would challenge their notions of what it means to care for each other well, both as a biological family and as part of a broader community. Rebelliously hopeful, the couple will take you on their harrowing journey as they show how family—whether biological, adopted, or chosen—is the greatest risk you'll ever take, the best reward you'll ever gain, and an essential part of what makes us human. Questions for reflection can be found in the audiobook companion PDF download.
