Title: Short Stories by Jesus

Subtitle: The Enigmatic Parables of a Controversial Rabbi

Author: Amy-Jill Levine

Narrator: Donna Postel

Format: Unabridged

Length: 13 hrs and 33 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-28-17

Publisher: Tantor Audio

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 23 votes

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

Jesus was a skilled storyteller and perceptive teacher who used parables from everyday life to effectively convey his message and meaning. Life in first-century Palestine was very different from our world today, and many traditional interpretations of Jesus' stories ignore this disparity and have often allowed anti-Semitism and misogyny to color their perspectives.

In this wise, entertaining, and educational book, Amy-Jill Levine offers a fresh, timely reinterpretation of Jesus' narratives. In Short Stories by Jesus, she analyzes these "problems with parables", taking us back in time to understand how their original Jewish audience understood them. Levine reveals the parables' connections to first-century economic and agricultural life, social customs and morality, Jewish scriptures, and Roman culture. With this revitalized understanding, she interprets these moving stories for a contemporary listener, showing how the parables are not just about Jesus, but are also about us - and when understood rightly, still challenge and provoke us 2,000 years later.

Critic Reviews:

"As the text enlightens, it also emboldens critical application of Jesus's ancient stories to modern hearts and minds." (

Publishers Weekly starred review)

A welcome change of perspective

Though a few of the chapters went a little more in-depth than I expected, over all the book was a refreshing reorientation of context in regard to the parables. Having grown up hearing the dumbed down interpretations, reawakening the challenging complexity of the stories was refreshing, especially since they run across religious lines in the sand...

Fantastic, like all of Amy-Jill Levine's work.

I love stories and storytelling, and Amy-Jill Levine expounds on story, morality and interpretation, as well as their implications on how we live and act in the world. I hope you give it a listen.

The narrator was great, but I wish it were Amy-Jill reading. Just a personal preference.

Informative, interesting, and enjoyable

The readers voice pleasant to the ears and the book causes one to pause and think.

Title: The Life of God in the Soul of Man

Author: Henry Scougal

Narrator: Charles Olsen

Format: Unabridged

Length: 2 hrs and 40 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-08-17

Publisher: GodSounds, Inc.

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 11 votes

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

It has been said that this work by Henry Scougal was "almost universally praised by the leaders of the Great Awakening". It is a piece of literature that has been used by God to influence the souls of men for the glory of Christ.

Regardless of the times we live in, the great works of the men of God of old are still applicable today. In an age of lukewarm believers, we need the fire of God to burn us afresh and give us a clear vision of his holy will.

Be blessed as you listen to this amazing book!

Excellent Presentation

This is a tool you can rely on and its use will only improve you.

A difficult listen.

The book itself is very hard to read due to the language, but well worth it.

Unfortunately the narrator here doesn't do it justice and is such a bore to listen to and adds no emotion or warmth whatsoever to help the listener understand this work better.

Powerful

I don't prefer the archaic English style of speaking, but considering that this letter came straight from one living in those times, it is apropos. What a treasure to benefit from Scougal's understanding of deep truth and mystery!

Anointed verbal & descriptive images of the Lord.

Love the narrator's voice, which created depth to the verbal reading. Great buy & read. TY

A book that all Christians to read

Awsome book. all Christians should read especially if they study the bible. I highly recommend.

Amen

Absolutely fantastic! All Christians need to study this work to grow in the knowledge of the Lord....

disappointed

I was really looking forward to listening to this book but I just couldn't tolerate the robotic and monotone voice of the reader. My suggestion is that they redo this book with a more pleasant reader. It was so bad that I could not finish the book.

canonized this truth a book worth more than Gold

the orthodox catholic church cannot continue hiding the revealed truth

for followers of the New testament church, let the souls of men read

it for themselves.

Title: The Imitation of Christ

Subtitle: St. Dismas Catholic Classics, Volume 3

Author: Thomas à Kempis

Narrator: Charlie Glaize

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 40 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-03-16

Publisher: Damian C. Andre

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 5 votes

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

The Imitation of Christ by Thomas à Kempis is a Christian devotional book. It was first composed in Latin ca.1418-1427. It is a handbook for spiritual life arising from the Devotio Moderna movement, where Kempis was a member. The Imitation is perhaps the most widely read devotional work next to the Bible, and is regarded as a devotional and religious classic. Apart from the Bible, no book has been translated into more languages than the Imitation of Christ. The text is divided into four books, which provide detailed spiritual instructions: "Helpful Counsels of the Spiritual Life", "Directives for the Interior Life", "On Interior Consolation" and "On the Blessed Sacrament". The approach taken in the Imitation is characterized by its emphasis on the interior life and withdrawal from the world, as opposed to an active imitation of Christ by other friars. The book places a high level of emphasis on the devotion to the Eucharist as key element of spiritual life.

Has whispersync

As many versions of this book as there are, it is perhaps surprising that there is no edition that meets my needs. Then again, I love this book so much that I demand a lot from it. So, I would like to listen to this as continuously as possible. It just keeps your head pointed in the right direction. If only one of these editions came with chapter titles and also had whispersync because that would assist with navigating the audio. But alas, that doesn't appear to exist. You can either have chapter titles or whispersync, but not both. Now this particular edition has whispersync but no chapter titles in the kindle edition. The narrator is very good, but the audio quality has a lot of echo to it so it is hard to listen to. There is one other with whispersync, but I like this one bettter.

Great Book. Reader is Awful

The reader of this book is so bad, that I dont even know if he speaks English as first language. Ruins and incredible book with his reading.

lifts your spirit to new levels.

listen to the words of this book to feed your spirit. Claim the power of Jesus on all situations. live under the same consecration of this man of God!

good book, not so good narration

book was really good and I enjoyed it. The narration though wasn't so good. reminds me of a computer reading it.

Faith building

I loved the story so much! I am sad that I didn't know about John G. Lake until rather recently. His faith is amazing and I loved hearing the stories of Devine healing. The narration was a little flat, but that could be because of the stylized writing people used 150 years ago.

Don't Waste Your Credit

This is not a story, it is a 2 hour 47 minute sermon. Can get this for free on TV everyday. This guy has several audio books averaging 1.5 hours each. He could have said it all in one book and gave people their money's worth. I can't believe that this has so many 5 star reviews; because, the sermon is not even good.

WHAT I HAVE BEEN PRAYING FOR

For years, I have been praying that when they see me, they see the LORD, and when they hear me, they hear the LORD. and when they look in my eyes, they see the Eyes of the LORD. This book is exactly that. THE DOOR IS OPEN.....

GReat Book and Preacher!

AWesome Good News for Once! THis man has had Supernatural experiences I believe the Saints of the past experienced. read this book and let your drink in it,s Truth.

Encouraging. Awesome

This book is so awesome. i looked forward to getting into my car each day to continue the story. so good I also bought a hard copy to highlight pages!!

Title: Wreck My Life

Publisher's Summary:

Inspiring Story of How Brokenness Leads to Bold Faith

Jesus promises peace and trouble for his followers. But most of us accept the peace and are confused and angry when adversity comes our way.

All-American soccer star Mo Isom knows the struggle firsthand. While her life seemed like a success, she was battling an eating disorder, the suicide of her father, and a horrific car accident. It wasn't until God wrecked her life that she discovered the glory of renewal through Jesus Christ and that wreckage can be sacred rather than scarring. Listeners take the journey from broken to bold with her and learn to surrender their lives to the king who was wrecked on their behalf.

Couldn't Stop Listening!

I first "discovered" Mo accidentally as I was watching YouTube videos on LSU soccer -I was intrigued, so I started watching and reading about her story and I was blown away at her message. I showed My daughter who was 8 at the time some videos of her and she seemed to instantly connect with her...2 years later, we've kept up with Mo on Facebook and such, and when her book came out, Elissa put it high on her Christmas list! I wanted to listen to it first in case there were things in it she shouldn't hear right now...and all I can say is I guess it's really up to each parents' discretion if they're thinking about giving it to their child, and the child's maturity level. I don't want to give away any of the book and I don't want to steer anyone away by all means-there are a couple of mature words used (porn, masturbation) but keep in mind this is a CHRISTIAN-based book(!) and in its context is not inappropriate, I promise! I found myself remembering my own young adulthood and the moment I realized how unexpected and treacherous paths can sometimes lead to something even better than we ever could have imagined, if we just have faith and realize we are truly not the ones in control, hard as we try sometimes. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I'm so glad it was Mo who read it! It was awesome :)

Amazingly written

I love how real Mo is during the whole book. I love how she also speaks with Gods truth throughout each page. It's helped me walk through my own personal journey of grief and life. I would recommend this to any friend or family member!

Incredible journey

Mo, thank you for your story and incredible transparency. In a world where it's common to hid behind filters and lies, your authenticity is incredible.

I am currently going through a year where God has wrecked my life and I understand that eventually it will be used for his glory. I'm recovering from a bad car accident and still have a bit of post concussion syndrome, but this was the first book in a year that I completed, much less read within a three day span! Must-read especially if you are in need of inspiration while in a dark place.

Discipleship in the making!!

From start to finish, every word, every sentence, every moment the author, the daughter, Mo shares with us, is a bridge from God. This book- this LIFE, not only brought tears but brought victory to my eyes. I cannot thank you enough for sharing your own life, your wreckage has helped me acknowledge and face my own. May God bless you immensely...always Mo. Thank you.

Life changing.

So many amazing truths in this well written account of a beautiful soul.

Title: The Jesus Prayer

Subtitle: The Ancient Desert Prayer That Tunes the Heart to God

Author: Frederica Mathewes-Green

Narrator: Frederica Mathewes-Green

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 21 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-22-16

Publisher: Frederica Mathewes-Green

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 30 votes

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

In the earliest centuries of faith, Christians in the deserts of Palestine and Africa sought a short prayer that could be easily repeated, in order to acquire the habit of "prayer without ceasing." The result was the Jesus Prayer: "Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me." This jewel of Eastern Christianity aims at enabling a person to be in God's presence, rather than to focus on feelings or thoughts about God. The first section of The Jesus Prayer offers a concise overview of the history, theology, and spirituality of Orthodoxy, so that the prayer can be understood in its native context. Following that is a conversational question-and-answer format that takes the listener through practical steps for adopting this profound practice in everyday life.

Wonderfully inspiring overview of the Jesus Prayer

There is much about this book that I really love. I plan on listening to it again. There is a lot of insight into the why, context and use of the contemplative Jesus Prayer. I liked the author's easy approach towards unfolding the story and history of this Christian prayer. Though I didn't really agree with her thoughts about the devil, however do understand its context. This book in tone reminds of Elizabeth Gilbert's Eat, Pray, Love. The pages are both an insightful and entertaining read, rather to listen to. Highly recommend this book, if you are interested in exploring the Jesus prayer. It is thoughtfully written.

very good introduction to the subject.

encouraging and supportive from her unique position --- her husband is an Orthodox priest. Helped me start or restart a spiritual discipline that i do enjoy....thanks to this book.

A book that should be listened to regularly

I loved this book and know that I'll have to listen to it several times to get the full benefit. I feel that the book provides strong insight into the application of this wonderful, yet simple prayer.

beautiful book will listen over again

A real gem! the reader is the author: humble and deeply spiritual. Deep yet easy to follow; concise yet full of insights, guidance and encouragement. Sprinkled with lots of stories and tips from the saints, as well as contemporary advice for busy lay people. I'm delighted and encouraged by this purchase! Not dumbed down, not overly academic and refreshingly waffle free!

Practical and encouraging for any Christian

Very practical and encouraging for living the Christian life. The same ancient truths any pastor wants to communicate, done excellently.

Title: Know Your Why

Subtitle: Finding and Fulfilling Your Calling in Life

Author: Ken Costa

Narrator: Simon Bubb

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 9 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-19-16

Publisher: Thomas Nelson Publishers

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 27 votes

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

Are you working for cash, a career, a cause - or a calling?

People work for a variety of reasons.

For many, the primary purpose of their work is cash. Their principal motivation is the paychecks that fund their everyday needs. Their work is a means to an end. Others are motivated by ambitions for careers, to move up the professional ladder and expand their experiences, becoming more skilled in particular areas. Still others work for a cause, believing in the wider purpose of their work, attempting to make a difference in the world - to leave a mark in some way.

All of these are legitimate motivations. However, missing from all three is any sense of the value of work itself. The focus is on the output of the workplace rather than on valuing the input.

What we need is calling. Those who see their work as a calling experience a rich integration in their lives. They sense a purpose, a direction to their activities. Work has intrinsic meaning rather than being simply a means to an end. In many ways this is precisely what the Spirit of God does in our lives. When we are in the flow of the Spirit, we are cooperating fully in our God-given callings. When people embrace their callings, they love their work, can manage inevitable tensions that arise, and are welcomed by their colleagues, who sense that there is something beyond the cash or career objectives. But how do we get there?

Members Reviews:

Only complaint

My only complaint is that Ken Costa didn't narrate the book.

Honestly this is one of the best books I have read to date. He takes the Bible and makes it practical for your everyday (work) life. God does care about our work and our passions. Ken is a wonderful author and great leader!

Please do yourself a favor, read this book!

Ministry Must Read

Great Tools for ReDiscovering Work

Ken Costa does a wonderful job of weaving wisdom the wisdom of personal life lesson with story and inspiration.

Like any book of this direction it won't change you unless you apply the tools outlined and detailed within it's audio pages. Read clearly and confidently; this audio book outlines ways in which God calls and equips anyone to influence and impact all the world.
