Publisher's Summary:

What a relief it would be to be set free from all that plagues us - the inner struggle with anger, or contempt, the habitual sins. Is such an experience possible? John Eldredge believes it is, and in The Utter Relief of Holiness, he shows listeners how they can be that free, through the healing work of Christ in their lives. It begins when we discover what the salvation of Jesus Christ means for our own restoration and find that holiness is an expression of the healing of our humanity.

Here is an audiobook that explores the beauty of the genuine goodness available to us in Jesus Christ, and guides the listener through the process whereby God makes us whole and holy by his love. Listeners will be relieved. Utterly.

Title: Beyond Belief

Subtitle: The Secret Gospel of Thomas

Author: Elaine Pagels

Narrator: Cassandra Campbell

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 9 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-18-04

Publisher: Books on Tape

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 329 votes

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

Spurred by personal tragedy, Elaine Pagels turns to a consideration of the Gnostic Gospels, in particular, the Gospel of Thomas. As opposed to the Gospel of John, which asserted that Jesus was an eternally existing aspect of God who came to earth to save humankind, the "secret" Gospel of Thomas agrees that Jesus was in some sense divine, but says that a streak of divinity can be found in all of us. The Church Fathers did not like Thomas' ideas, and attempted to suppress his Gospel as heretical. Pagels believes that Thomas' words lead to a more open, welcoming, and equitable kind of Christianity. If Beyond Belief is at odds with conservative theological certainties, it nonetheless speaks to Jesus' humanity, and to our own.

Title: The Confessions of St. Augustine

Author: Saint Augustine

Narrator: David McCallion

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11 hrs and 44 mins

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

Written by Saint Augustine of Hippo, Confessions is the saint's autobiography that features 13 books that detail his early life and his conversion to Christianity as a result of the sin that he had incurred in his youth. Throughout the series, he also delivers his philosophical ponderings and ideas on theology, and it becomes evident that each event that has occurred in his life has had something to do with religion, as Saint Augustine is able to bridge the connections between these two very important topics. His sinful ways, he explains, came to an end when he traveled to Milan, where he realized for the first time that Catholicism would be the answer to his seemingly interminable quest to find freedom from sin.

While the first three quarters of the book detail his youth and his journey toward God, the last quarter of the book is really his attempt to encourage people to follow in his path. He aims to inspire all who hear Confessions and convince them that though they may have sinned in their lives, they can always make a return to God. Saint Augustine closes with a very thought-out and detailed analysis of Genesis and the Holy Trinity.
