Title: Water from a Deep Well: Christian Spirituality from Early Martyrs to Modern Missionaries

Author: Gerald L. Sittser

Narrator: William Sarris

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 12 hours 20 minutes

Release date: November 8, 2022

Genres: Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

In Rome in A.D. 165, two men named Carpus and Papylus stood before the proconsul of Pergamum, charged with the crime of being Christians. Not even torture could make them deny Christ, so they were burned alive. Is my faithfulness as strong? In the fifth century, Melania the Younger and her husband, Pinian, distributed their enormous wealth to the poor and intentionally practiced the discipline of renunciation. Could living more simply deepen my trust in God? In the sixteen hundreds, Philipp Jakob Spener's love for the Word of God and his desire to help people apply the Bible to their life moved him to start 'Colleges of Piety,' or small groups. In what ways could commitment to community make me more like Christ? The history of the church has shaped what our faith and practice are like today. In Water from a Deep Well, Gerald Sittser opens to us the rich history of spirituality, letting us gaze at the practices and stories of believers from the past who had the same thirst for God that we do today. As we see their deep faith through his vibrant narratives, we may discover that old ways can bring new life to our own spirituality.

Title: The Thrill of Orthodoxy: Rediscovering the Adventure of Christian Faith

Author: Trevin Wax

Narrator: Trevin Wax

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 6 hours 49 minutes

Release date: November 8, 2022

Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 2

Ratings of Narrator: 3.5 of Total 2

Genres: Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

Every generation faces the temptation to wander from orthodoxy—to seek out the jolt that comes with false teaching, and to drift with cultural currents. And so every generation must be awakened again to the thrill of orthodoxy, and experience the astonishment that comes from stumbling afresh upon the electrifying paradoxes at the heart of the Christian faith. In The Thrill of Orthodoxy, Trevin Wax turns the tables on those who believe Christian teaching is narrow and outdated. Returning to the church's creeds, he explains what orthodoxy is and why we can have proper confidence in it, and lays out common ways we can stray from it. By showing how heresies are always actually narrower than orthodoxy—taking one aspect of the truth and wielding it as a weapon against others—Wax beckons us away from the broad road that ultimately proves bland and boring, and toward the straight and narrow path, where true adventure can be found.

Title: Virtuous Minds: Intellectual Character Development

Author: Philip E. Dow

Narrator: Adam Barr

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 5 hours 42 minutes

Release date: November 8, 2022

Genres: Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

Our culture today is in a state of crisis where intellectual virtue is concerned. Dishonesty, cheating, arrogance, laziness, cowardice—such vices are rampant in society, even among the world's most prominent leaders. We find ourselves in an ethical vacuum, as the daily headlines of our newspapers confirm again and again. Central to the problem is the state of education. We live in a technological world that has ever greater access to new information and yet no idea what to do with it all. In this wise and winsome book, Philip Dow presents a case for the recovery of intellectual character. He explores seven key virtues—courage, carefulness, tenacity, fair-mindedness, curiosity, honesty, and humility—and discusses their many benefits. The recovery of virtue, Dow argues, is not about doing the right things, but about becoming the right kind of person. The formation of intellectual character produces a way of life that demonstrates love for both God and neighbor. Dow has written an eminently practical guide to a life of intellectual virtue designed especially for parents and educators. The book concludes with seven principles for a true education.

Title: Beyond Welcome: Centering Immigrants in Our Christian Response to Immigration

Author: Karen Gonzalez

Narrator: Karen Gonzalez

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 5 hours 31 minutes

Release date: November 8, 2022

Genres: Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

Many American Christians have good intentions, working hard to welcome immigrants with hospitality and solidarity. But how can we do that in a way that empowers our immigrant neighbors rather than pushing them to the fringes of white-dominant culture and keeping them as outsiders? That's exactly the question Karen González explores in Beyond Welcome. A Guatemalan immigrant, González draws from the Bible and her own experiences to examine why the traditional approach to immigration ministries and activism is at best incomplete and at worst harmful. By advocating for putting immigrants in the center of the conversation, González helps listeners grow in discipleship and recognize themselves in their immigrant neighbors. Accessible to any Christian who is called to serve immigrants, this book equips listeners to take action to dismantle white supremacy and xenophobia in the church. They will emerge with new insight into our shared humanity and need for belonging and liberation.

Title: The Word: On the Translation of the Bible

Author: John Barton

Narrator: Neil Gardner

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 10 hours 51 minutes

Release date: November 3, 2022

Genres: Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

Brought to you by Penguin. How the Bible has been translated and why it matters The Bible is held to be both universal and specific, the source of fundamental truths inscribed in words that are exact and sacred. For much of the history of Judaism and almost the entirety of Christianity, however, believers have overwhelmingly understood scripture not in the languages in which it was first written but rather in their own - in translation. This book examines how saints, scholars and interpreters from ancient times down to the present have produced versions of the Bible in the language of their day while remaining true to the original. It explains the challenges they negotiated, from minute textual ambiguities up to the sweep of style and stark differences in form and thought between the earliest writings and the latest, and it exposes the bearing these have on some of the most profound questions of faith: the nature of God, the existence of the soul and possibility of its salvation. Reading dozens of renderings alongside their ancient Hebrew and Greek antecedents, John Barton traces the migration of biblical words and ideas across linguistic borders, illuminating original meanings as well as the ways they were recast. 'Translators have been among the principal agents in mediating the Bible's message,' he writes, 'even in shaping what that message is.' At the separation of Christianity from Judaism and Protestantism from Catholicism, Barton demonstrates, vernacular versions did not only spring from fault lines in religious thinking but also inspired and moulded them. The product of a lifetime's study of scripture, The Word itself reveals the central book of our culture anew - as it was written and as we know it. © John Barton 2022 (P) Penguin Audio 2022
