Stop, Think, Pray, and Replay

One of the best books I have on spirituality. Joan Chittister is one of my favorite authors and to hear her give the lessons in the book is very special to me.

The presentation makes me feel like we are sitting together in a nice lounging area and she teaching a small group the lessons in this wonderful book.

Thank you Joan Chittister for such a wonderful and inspiring book that you wrote and performed.

One of her best

Thoughtful and meaningful reflections on some of the desert wisdom.

More practical , devotional than scholarly. A good introduction to ttheir wisdom.

Title: Small Group Success: Changing Lives One Group at a Time

Author: Bradley D. Wright

Narrator: Justin Wright

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 hrs and 51 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-01-15

Publisher: Silver Leaf Publishing

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

Leading small groups with purpose requires skills, strategies, and practical tools so that a leader knows exactly how to lead a small group. In Small Group Success, leadership principles and practical strategies are presented to make leaders more effective. Pastors and small group coordinators can use this book as a tool to train those leaders, either by simply having them listen to it, or by using the discussion questions at the end of each chapter.

You'll learn:

From the foreword by Dr. Gene A. Getz, founder of the Fellowship Bible Church movement and author of more than 60 books, including the recently released Life Essentials Study Bible: "I'm delighted to see Brad Wright continuing this biblical emphasis, giving us contemporary and practical guidelines for creating and maintaining small groups. As you listen, you'll hear the voice of wisdom and experience."

Brad Wright holds a Masters of Theology from Dallas Theological Seminary and a B.S. in Chemical Engineering. He has served as a full-time pastor and associate pastor but has spent most of his 35+ years of small group leadership and oversight experience as a layperson in the local church. This small group ministry experience as both pastor and layperson uniquely qualifies him to share insights in a way that others can easily grasp and use. Brad has been married since 1983 and has three adult children. He welcomes your comments and can be reached at www.smallgroupsuccess.com

Practical book for small group leaders

I just finished Wright's book, "Small Group Success", and find it to be outstanding. There are many aspects to leading a small group when you consider group dynamics, content, direction, dealing with challenges, as well as the "study time" as well. Wright deals with each of these while continuing to drive home the need for application. This is not just a book on "how small groups are done", but provides good ideas for just about every aspect of planning, running, and improving small groups. This book is not like some others that offer flow charts, with self-evaluation questions and such; instead, Wright provides thoughtful guidance with biblical based rationale to keep you from getting in the weeds!

One of the sections I really appreciated was the idea of seasons for small groups ... I suppose I'd always thought that once you get a group going, it should remain, but in practice as well as in biblical example, there are good reasons for groups to grow, build, and then change into something else, if that is what God is wanting to do. This allows growth for others while groups morph, multiply, and grow together.

I heartily recommend this book for anyone that has lead groups for awhile, or just getting started. It's well-grounded. Thanks for this book! Now let's get out there and apply it!

A must-have in your small group reference library

There are plenty of books that tell you WHY a small group is an important ministry tool, but Wright's "Small Group Success: Changing Lives One Group at a Time" tells you HOW to do it successfully. Wright outlines a step-by-step process on how to set up, manage, and lead a small group that's ideal for a leader who's new to small groups.

Title: How to be a bad Christian

Subtitle: ...and a better human being

Author: Dave Tomlinson

Narrator: Dave Tomlinson

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 hrs and 32 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-13-15

Publisher: Hodder & Stoughton

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 6 votes

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

In the course of his work as a vicar, Dave Tomlinson meets lots of people who describe themselves as 'not good enough' to be Christians, thinking that faith involves going to church a lot or believing in a list of strange things or following certain rules. But being a Christian isn't about any of that - and actually, following Jesus is a lot easier, and more fun, than most people think....

In this handbook to Christianity for people who describe themselves as spiritual but not necessarily religious, Dave sketches out some key practices for how to be a 'bad' Christian, including how to talk to God without worrying about prayer, how to read the Bible without turning off your brain, and how to think with your soul rather than trying to follow rules.

This is an accessible, light-hearted book but one with a powerful invitation: to be the person you've always wanted to be, following a God you've always hoped is on your side.

View from the margin

Dave Tomlinson has a very viable parish in London with young professionals and families. While this is an established ministry, Dave is equally (more?) comfortable with those on the margins of the established church. He states: "...I feel more at home in a pub with honest 'pagans' than I do in many churches." This book relates how one in the church can also have doubts, not have all of the answers, invite questions, and a distain for church as 'exclusive ' club. This is an honest critique of the state of Christianity today, one that focuses on Jesus of Nazareth more as a role model than on his divinity. Dave also is very clear about his theology that views God as "love", not the king, the judge, the ruler and the "firer of thunderbolts". This is a theology that is available to all, without question or having to earn it.

This book is a refreshing perspective on Christianity as it struggles for relevance, especially with young people who are actually quite spiritual but not connected to any particular community. Perhaps this disarming book, and the vignettes about Dave's ministry on the margins, will be seen as opportunity to take a look at what church can be as opposed to what it has been for centuries.

Real Answers.

This is an excellent book for anyone who has run afoul of religion not being willing to answer questions, but instead being told to sit down and shut up. After escaping organized religion and finding my own way, which has worked much better for me, this book would have helped a lot fifty years ago. It does now. I think we all seek, or at least want to, for answers. The book encourages it. I recommend it absolutely.

A refreshing, candid perspective on Christianity and life from an honest, thinking person

An encouraging book that talks candidly, humbly and directly about many topics that are not discussed in the church. Dave is a thinking Christian. One who would likely be thought to be controversial from those who practice fundamental Christianity.

I would highly recommend watching his youtube plugs about the book prior to reading it. There are 5 of them. Here's one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DGCLxNmhfQ

For me, his thoughts were a breath of fresh air and encouraged me to pursue and live out my faith more passionately while thinking hard about what scripture means and who God is.

Wonderful insights

Wonderful insights! At least a dozen insights to remember. We are grateful for the transformed life of Chuck Colson.

New essays from Charles (Chuck) Colson

This book is a collection of writings not previously published by Chuck Colson. Though clearly from a Christian and conservative perspective, Colson writes thought provoking essays and offers keen insight into society and culture today.

Title: The Tabernacle in the Wilderness

Subtitle: Brethren Writers Library, Book 22

Author: John Ritchie

Narrator: Paul Ansdell

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 hrs and 34 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-23-15

Publisher: Words by the Wayside

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

The Tabernacle in the Wilderness was published in 1891. Since then several generations of believers have been introduced to the rich pastures of Old Testament teaching. This new revised edition has been commissioned and produced in the belief that such teaching is timeless in its relevance and applicability. It is presented in a style, format, and language suited to modern-day listeners - especially for young believers in the 21st century.

As the different sections and structures of the Tabernacle are described, some very practical teaching for our daily lives is given. The topics range from our need of salvation from sin to our present service for God.

In addition to the very practical issues raised for our individual and corporate lives, the typical teachings of the Tabernacle all points to Christ, of course. He is the great subject of all scripture. As we study the materials of the construction, the fabrics and the colors, the priests and the sacrifices, we are helped and encouraged to appreciate, worship and adore the person of our Lord and Savior. This was the overwhelming objective of the original author, as it is the desire of all who have been involved in the production of this 21st-century edition.

Publisher's Summary:

Charles Spurgeon, the great Baptist preacher of 19th-century London, is remembered today as the prince of preachers. However, the strength of Spurgeon's ministry went far beyond simple rhetorical skill. With a foundational commitment to the Bible, Spurgeon fearlessly taught the doctrines of grace and tirelessly held forth the free offer of salvation in Jesus Christ. In short he was a firm believer in the truth of the gospel and the power of the gospel to save.

Members Reviews:

SPURGEON....an exquisite summary!

This fine work by the mighty author Steven Lawson takes you on a whirlwind bullet point overview of The greatest preacher ever, Charles H. Spurgeon who, in my view was equal to or nearly equal to Paul The Apostle.

Absolutely loved this short concise look at The Prince of Preachers.

As Always, Steven J Lawson delivers

Lawson's series "A Long Line of Godly Men" is another excellent book. His research and insight into bringing alive the personalities of past, key figures of the Christian faith and inspiring believers is a wonderful blessing. I also think the narrator, Simon Vance has the perfect voice for giving a liveliness without overshadowing the info being presented.

Members Reviews:

Decent book, below average narration

The content of the book is pretty good, but I found it difficult to listen because of the narration. The reader, when he put tried to put emphasis or inflection in at all, put it in awkward places and there were many times he simply read the content monotone when the book called for a little emphasis. It almost sounded like he was "sounding out" the words at times, focusing so hard on just reading that he failed to put any emotion into it or think about what he was reading to put emphasis where it was appropriate. While I recommend the book generally, I would rather read it than listen.

Good primer for the courts of heaven

This book was a good primer and has me hungry to learn more on this subject. I think we as Christians are missing out on what is due to us if we don't know this subject and know how to take our injustices to the courts of heaven. Before this I had only heard about the subject so this was a good base to start with and get me to seek more on this subject.

Absolutely loved it

Great read.I will continue to listen to this audio book continually . Informative and up lifting

Good for the Drive

Would you consider the audio edition of Heaven's Court System: Bringing Justice for All to be better than the print version?

It serves its purpose. When driving the audio version is a no brainer. I still like to look at words on a page though.

I believe that the Angels of Heaven Court is fact

As soon as I finish listening to Heaven Court, and said the prayer, I received a call from my boss that a large quote was approved. I know that this year will be a huge spiritual change in my life, and my work, and my family!

Ok as an introduction

This was OK as an introduction to the idea that we can petition the courts of heaven but I was hoping for more detail on how to go about it. The recording could also do with some editing out of mistakes.

Title: Jesus, Jihad and Peace

Publisher's Summary:

Is there any hope for peace in the world? Or is terror our destiny? In our post-9/11 world, Westerners in general - and Christians in particular - remain targets of Islamic terrorism. From the White House to 10 Downing Street, radical groups like the Muslim Brotherhood are appeased and allowed to operate freely in the West.

In a world that cries out for peace, which will prevail - Jesus or Jihad? Bible-believing Christians wonder: What does Islamic extremism mean in terms of Bible prophecy? Do today's turbulent events have prophetic significance?

In Jesus, Jihad and Peace, Dr. Michael Youssef provides answers that are concise and biblically accurate, explaining how trends within Judaism, Christianity, and Islam fit into prophetic history. You will be filled with hope as you see God displaying His character and purpose through current global events.

Members Reviews:

Excellent analysis

This book is a fantastic comparison and tells the absolute truth about the dangers of radical islam, and how biblical prophecy fits in with it. I recommend this book to all muslims, and hope that they all may investigate the different perspectives contained in this book and discover the truth for themselves, rather than blindingly accepting what the Qu'ran forces onto them. Everyone needs to be free to choose for themselves what to believe. Nobody should be forced, not even by Allah. Jesus invites, but never forces.

Phenomenal!

Never a more timely book. Informative, encouraging and needed. Drop the Islam vs radical Islam false paradigm and the book is prefect.

Great book!

I love how he talks about the truth regarding Islam their agenda, current events and the end times.

AMEN!

I loved it I will listen to to it again. I learned a lot . I never have read the Quran.

Had some good info

Had some good information on the Muslim world. He make some comments that probably would go well on Fox news but this is well worth reading again

Be Very Attentive for All the Bible Verses

It was good, but I think people would enjoy this one more if you have the actual book. There are a lot of verses in each chapter and your mind can wander a bit in those sections. Reading them would be more effective, at least for me. The promises are beautiful, though.
