Title: The Ballot and the Bible: How Scripture Has Been Used and Abused in American Politics and Where We Go from Here

Author: Kaitlyn Schiess

Narrator: Kaitlyn Schiess

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 6 hours 27 minutes

Release date: October 3, 2023

Genres: Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

'A nuanced look at America's legacy of scriptural language.' —Publishers Weekly (starred review) How do Bible passages written thousands of years ago apply to politics today? What can we learn from America's history of using the Bible in politics? How can we converse with people whose views differ from our own? In The Ballot and the Bible, Kaitlyn Schiess explores these questions and more. She unpacks examples of how Americans have connected the Bible to politics in the past, highlighting times it was applied well and times it was egregiously misused. Schiess combines American political history and biblical interpretation to help listeners faithfully read Scripture, talk with others about it, and apply it to contemporary political issues—and to their lives. Rather than prescribing what listeners should think about specific hot-button issues, Schiess outlines core biblical themes around power, allegiance, national identity, and more. Listeners will be encouraged to pursue a biblical basis for their political engagement with compassion and confidence.

Narrator: Nan Mcnamara

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 3 hours 58 minutes

Release date: September 26, 2023

Genres: Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

God is often at work through the ordinary: ordinary people, ordinary objects, ordinary grace. Through the ordinary, God communicates epiphanies, salvation, revelation, and reconciliation. It is through the mundane that we hear Gods quiet voice. In this devotion for the season of Lent, Jill J. Duffield draws listeners attention to ten ordinary objects that Jesus would have encountered on his way to Jerusalem: dust, bread, the cross, coins, shoes, oil, coats, towels, thorns, and stones. In each object, listeners will find meaning in the biblical account of Jesus final days. Each week, listeners encounter a new object to consider through Scripture, prayer, and reflection. From Ash Wednesday to Easter, Lent in Plain Sight reminds Christians to open ourselves to the kingdom of God.

Title: Mormonism: A Very Short Introduction

Author: Richard Lyman Bushman

Narrator: Brandon Pollock

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 3 hours 42 minutes

Release date: September 26, 2023

Genres: Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

Beginning with a handful of members in 1830, the church that Joseph Smith founded has grown into a world-wide organization with over twelve million adherents, playing prominent roles in politics, sports, entertainment, and business. Yet they are an oddity. Mormonism: A Very Short Introduction explains who Mormons are: what they believe and how they live their lives. Written by Richard Lyman Bushman, an eminent historian and practicing Mormon, this compact, informative volume ranges from the history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to the contentious issues of contemporary Mormonism. Bushman argues that Joseph Smith still serves as the Mormons' Moses. They understand their lives as part of a spiritual journey that started in a 'council in heaven' before the world began just as he taught. How are Mormons to hold on to their children in a world of declining moral standards and rampant disbelief? How do rational, educated Mormons stand up to criticisms of their faith? How do single Mormons fare in a church that emphasizes family life? The book also examines polygamy, the various Mormon scriptures, and the renegade fundamentalists who tarnish the LDS image when in fact they're not members. This engaging introduction enables listeners to judge for themselves how Mormon teachings shape the character of believers.

Title: Church Revitalization: A Pastoral Guide to Church Renewal

Author: Russell N. Small

Narrator: George W. Sarris

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 8 hours 24 minutes

Release date: September 19, 2023

Genres: Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

Church Revitalization guides current and future leaders through the often-complex process of bringing a church to a place of vibrancy. This book demonstrates how the overarching goal of seeing people come to faith in Christ and develop into Christlikeness can—and must—inform the most foundational to the most fleeting aspects of revitalizing a struggling church. Church Revitalization Strategist Rusty Small systematically walks listeners through the many considerations of leading a church out of a decline. He helps identify the best approach for addressing what a particular church's revitalization need may be: ● Refresh—often most fitting after a difficult season in the church's life ● Renovate—needed when a decline has lasted five to ten years ● Restore—appropriate for churches with generational patterns focused on survival ● Replant—best for a church facing imminent closure Few joys compare to seeing God's life and power realized for the local church—when believers begin to think and serve as Jesus did. Small will encourage pastors and church leaders engaged in this critical task.

Title: A Popular Survey of Apologetics for Today: Fast Facts Every Christian Should Know

Author: Ron Rhodes

Narrator: Kent Klineman

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 12 hours 59 minutes

Release date: September 19, 2023

Genres: Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

We need Christians trained in apologetics now more than ever. In a chaotic world where many people claim to have their own truth, Christians have been given the unshakable truth that comes from God alone. But simply knowing it isn't enough. The task of apologetics belongs to all believers, to 'make a defense to anyone who asks' (1 Peter 3:14). Although the call is clear, it can be difficult to know where to start. This comprehensive survey delves into key teachings about our faith, providing pearls of wisdom along the way to help us remember the heart of the matter. Ron Rhodes shares a wealth of straightforward, biblical answers to the questions and issues of our day, addressing: the nature of truth—absolute truth versus relative truth; hermeneutics—the principles of interpreting the Bible rightly; Christian ethics—including controversial topics such as abortion, suicide, and divorce; alleged contradictions in the Bible; and challenging questions unbelievers ask about God and Christianity. Fortify your own understanding of God's Word and God's world—from intelligent design to the prophetic future—and let the truths contained in this book equip you for meaningful, effective, and gracious conversations with others.

Title: More Than Things: A Personalist Ethics for a Throwaway Culture

Author: Paul Louis Metzger

Narrator: Jonathan Yen

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 17 hours 59 minutes

Release date: September 19, 2023

Genres: Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

We live in a culture of commodification. People are too often defined by what they do or own; they're treated as means to an end or cogs in a machine. What goes missing is a deep sense of personhood—the belief that all humans are unique subjects with inherent worth and the right to self-determination. In a world dominated by things, we must work hard to account for one another's personhood. We need to cultivate relational structures that honor every human's dignity in vital interpersonal community. The theological and philosophical framework known as personalism can help guide us toward such a culture. Drawing from a wide range of thought leaders, including Martin Luther King Jr. and Pope John Paul II, Paul Louis Metzger presents a personalist moral vision founded on the Christian ideals of faith, hope, and love. He demonstrates how this moral compass can help us navigate a pluralistic world by applying it to a variety of pressing ethical issues, including abortion, genetic engineering, immigration, drone warfare, and more. Ultimately human personhood begins with the personal, triune God, who invites us to live more fully as human beings. When we refuse to reduce our fellow humans—and ourselves—to mere abstractions or objects, we follow the example of Jesus in honoring the value of every person and of creaturely life as a whole.
