Title: Against Christianity

Author: Peter J. Leithart

Narrator: Aaron Wells

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 hrs and 12 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-15-18

Publisher: Canon Press

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

How could a conservative Christian - an ordained minister with a beard, no less - be against not only Christianity, but theology, sacraments, and ethics as well? Yet that is the stance Peter Leithart takes in this provocative "theological bricolage."

Seeking to rethink evangelical notions of culture, church, and state, Leithart offers a series of short essays, aphorisms, and parables that challenge the current dichotomies that govern both Christian and non-Christian thinking about church and state, the secular and the religious.

But his argument isn't limited to being merely "against." Leithart reveals a much larger vision of Christian society, defined by the stories, symbols, rituals, and rules of a renewed community - the city of God.

Members Reviews:

Good read!

Not a bad review of many different aspects of Christianity. Peter takes an opposing stance that may seem contradictory, but what he really does is expose the fallacies that creep in to modern evangelical circles. By doing so, he offers ways to answer the problems presented by these fallacies by calling Christians back to their roots...the Church!

One That All Christians Should Read... Whether You Agree With Him or Not

Not everyone is a Peter Leithart fan. Being a member of the "Federal Vision" camp essentially means putting a big target on your back and then seeking to stroll across a firing range. But Leithart has something to say in this book and folks shouldn't let their differences on other theological issues ( i.e. Paedo-Communion, the imputation of the "active" obedience of Christ, etc.c) interfere with hearing him here.

In this book Leithart is seeking to slap the Church out of its dogmatic slumbers and awaken Her to the presuppositions and assumptions which She has, perhaps unconsciously, adopted from the secular world. Here he issues a clarion call to vibrant Christian witness that is centered on the expectation that God actually intends for His people to claim every aspect of human life for the Gospel.

Too long the Church has made Her nest in dualism and, particularly in this country, nodded Her head to mission while bending Her knee to Mammon. Leithart calls this attitude "Christianity." It is not the doctrines of the Church that he opposes.... it is the heart of the Church that he is "against." Along the way he indicts a dualistic, spiritualization of theology, the observance of the sacraments, ethics and then, contra most prevailing views, gives an apology for Constantinism. He does so in concise, readable, accessible prose that communicates well.

Whether you agree with him or not.... this is a book thoughtful and concerned Christians ought to read.

Phenomenal

A great, short book. It had a massive influence on my thinking the first time I read it, and it got even better the second time.

We have forgotten what Christianity really is.

Liethart, a Presbyterian minister, writes against what has become known as "Christiantiy" in our American culture, and tries to point back to a more historical and biblical Christianity. His critique is written in short, essay-like chapters and clips - which makes it a quick read and keeps you moving forward to read more and more. This book really made me take a harder look at my Christianity and my understanding of the sacraments and ecclesiology of the church.

Title: Experiencing the Gifts of the Holy Spirit

Author: Professor Solomon Hailu

Narrator: William J. Ritterskamp

Format: Unabridged

Length: 2 hrs and 24 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-02-18

Publisher: Solomon Hailu

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

Professor Hailu brings fresh, new insights into the operation of the spiritual gifts as found in 1 Corinthians 12:1-11 from his ministerial experiences. He tells how he was baptized in the Holy Spirit in 1993 and started experiencing what can only be termed "explosive" manifestations of the spiritual gifts shortly thereafter. He takes the position that every Christian is granted one or more gifts upon being born again, but only fully unwraps those gifts upon receiving the baptism of the Holy Spirit. He emphasizes the importance of developing a personal relationship with and dependence on the Holy Spirit in order to exhibit the power-filled life that Jesus Christ had in his earthly ministry.

As both an academic and a religious leader, Professor Hailu presents this work as an important contribution to the theological dialogue on this important theme. It is simply written so that the layperson as well as the theologian can rejoice with this man whom God has raised up to minister to the present generation.

About the Author:

Solomon Hailu, PhD, is a full professor of political science at Oral Roberts University. He previously taught at universities in South Africa and the USA. While teaching, he has planted churches in Durban, South Africa, and in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He has extensively published peer-reviewed academic articles in the field of political science and published the book, Promoting Collective Security in Africa. He is currently studying for his masters in practical theology at Oral Roberts University. Prof. Hailu is married to his wife, Mulu, who works as an electrical engineer. Together, they have four children and make their home in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Title: Health Care Sharing Ministries: How Christians Are Revolutionizing Medical Cost and Care

Author: Dr. Steve Turley

Narrator: Stephen R. Turley

Format: Unabridged

Length: 58 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-05-17

Publisher: Turley

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

Health care is on the brink of monumental change. Innovations in care and cost are making health care more available than ever. And yet, health insurers and government bureaucrats have yet to catch up to these advances, making traditional health insurance practices not only out-of-date, but overly expensive and unnecessarily cumbersome and frustrating. Moreover, their decision on what to pay for and what not to pay for may have an even bigger role in determining the health care you receive than you and your doctor.

There's a better way!

In this book, you'll learn about health care sharing ministries. These ministries have been around for decades, and have paid for billions of dollars of health care expenses for hundreds of thousands of patients. And they're revolutionizing the way health care is provided and paid.

Here's a preview of what you'll learn....

With health care sharing ministries, your days of freedom from the outdated bureaucratic mismanagement of health insurance have finally arrived. Welcome to the health care revolution!

Members Reviews:

The Solution to the government health care boondoggle.

Socialized medicine does not work and will never work. My first experience with this was with the military health care system. âFreeâ health care only increases the demand. The military health care system for dependents became saturated because there was no restraint on the users. If health care in the U.S. continues on its current trajectory the same will happen just as it has in Great Britain.

What is the health care consumer to do?

In an informative well written pamphlet Dr. Turley considers the genesis of modern health care systems in the Christian faith. Before Christ there were no hospitals. The department of health, education and welfare was the family. It still is.

What was once an economical benevolent system has morphed into an expensive monster. Civil government has moved the boundary stones and wrongly assumed the jurisdiction of another institution. The result was predictable. When one institution intrudes into another contrary to Godâs design, the outcome is chaos. One need only look at the effects of Obamacare and the disruption of the health care market to affirm this.

Dr. Turley outlines the solution which is health care sharing ministries such as Samaritan Ministries. This ministry is exclusive. Non Christians need not apply. They their own system but donât hold your breath. The participants must belong to a church and may not be drunks or drug abusers. The fee schedule has two categories: single and families. As I understand it each month the participantsâ fee is earmarked to an individual. Dr. Turley gives as examples his own family. The fees are $160 per single and $405 per family per month. This appears to be a bargain for both categories considering the damage done the health care market place by the government. Dr. Turley noted that the monthly fee can be paid by the employer as his does. As an added incentive all the participants send their prayers to the throne of Grace for the ill person. Jas 5:16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

Dr. Turley gets involved in the details which the reader will better understand by buying the pamphlet.

Title: Holy Spirit the HEALER Within You

Publisher's Summary:

Meet the healer within.

He will heal you spirit soul and body. He will give you life, and he will destroy the works of the devil in your life and establish the plan of God. Come and see!

One just like Jesus.

He is one just like Jesus: Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have walked with Jesus in the days that he walked the earth? He healed the sick, the lame walked, blind eyes were opened. He raised the dead, gavehHis disciples power and authority over unclean spirits, cast out devils. His disciples were never sick - think about that for a moment.

The power to heal.

The Holy Spirit is that healer, that power of God to heal; he is that virtue that came out of Jesus to heal at the touch of faith. Jesus said, "Power has left me." The good news is that Jesus said, "I will pray the Father and He will send you another comforter, one exactly like me." The Holy Spirit has come to indwell the believer and do exactly what he did through Jesus in us and through us, but we have to know about him to receive him.

The Lord bless you as you read!

Title: How Can I Be Right with God?

Subtitle: Crucial Questions

Narrator: George W. Sarris

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 37 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-27-17

Publisher: christianaudio.com

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

The Philippian jailer's question is as pressing for us as it was for the man who originally asked it. God is holy, and we are not. God cannot stand to look upon sin. How then can we, as sinners, be saved? This book delves into Scripture and church history to explore the Protestant doctrine of justification by faith alone, and in so doing, it points to Christ alone as our hope for salvation.

Members Reviews:

Five Stars

This really helped me to understand my in-law's views through their Catholic background.

Excellent!

This is a succinct and lucid explanation of the doctrine of justification by faith.

Five Stars

Love It, Thanks!

Deep, even for the advanced bible student.

As a bible student of about 15 years, I can say that this book is PACKED with scriptural truths. I would recommend this to a friend, family and even an enemy. You will not find a more concise and yet well-rounded support of the doctrine of justification.

Quick read packed with knowledge

Opened my eyes to faith alone and the foundation of salvation. It is a quick read that is packed full of essentials. I would recommend this book to anyone Christian or not. It answers the question posed.

Title: Love Focused

Subtitle: Living Life to the Fullest

Author: Judy Hughes, Bob Hughes

Narrator: Pat Matthews

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 48 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-23-17

Publisher: Author's Republic

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

Love Focused will help you discover a very different approach to life and God that makes living in a difficult world satisfying and successful. It describes a model for living that frees you to enjoy a better life without having to change or control your world. And most importantly, Love Focused will help you succeed at the two things God says are most important: loving God and loving others.

If you think about it, we are all working hard at trying to get things to turn out a certain way. But unknowingly, this unbiblical, outcome focused approach to life is actually the cause of much of our frustration, self-centeredness and stress. Love Focused exposes this hidden, unhealthy way of living and teaches a more biblical, Love Focused model that dramatically changes lives and relationships.

Building on one concept at a time, Love Focused becomes an easy to use guidebook that can be applied to every area of your life from relationships, parenting, work, ministry, etc.

Members Reviews:

Must read!

What a great book that simply clears up the source for so much confusion, pain, and frustration in life. I really think Christians should read this book. I teach its principles so often when talking and counseling people at my church. I've suggested it and gave them out to many people who have come back and thanked me. The book is powerful, the truth in it will change your life. Praise God for giving the Hughes their experience and wisdom to write this book!

How to focus on loving those around me.

This is an easy to read, straight forward book which has helped me recognize patterns in my life that get in the way of loving my family and friends. Excellent for Christian believers but even those who are not yet believers will benefit from the author's counsel.
