Title: Building a Bridge

Subtitle: How the Catholic Church and the LGBT Community Can Enter into a Relationship of Respect, Compassion, and Sensitivity

Author: James Martin

Narrator: James Martin

Format: Unabridged

Length: 2 hrs and 8 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-13-17

Publisher: HarperAudio

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

The New York Times best-selling author of The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything and Jesus: A Pilgrimage turns his attention to the relationship between LGBT Catholics and the church in this loving, inclusive, and revolutionary book.

On the day after the Orlando nightclub shooting, James Martin SJ posted a video on Facebook in which he called for solidarity with our LGBT brothers and sisters. "The largest mass shooting in US history took place at a gay club, and the LGBT community has been profoundly affected," he began. He then implored his fellow Catholics - and people everywhere - to "stand not only with the people of Orlando but also with their LGBT brothers and sisters." A powerful call for tolerance, acceptance, and support - and a reminder of Jesus' message for us to love one another - Father Martin's post went viral and was viewed more than 1.6 million times.

Now Martin expands on his reflections in this moving and inspiring book, offering a powerful, loving, and much-needed voice in a time marked by anger, prejudice, and divisiveness. Adapted from an address he gave to New Ways Ministry, a group that ministers to and advocates for LGBT Catholics, Building a Bridge provides a road map for repairing and strengthening the bonds that unite all of us as God's children. Martin uses the image of a two-way bridge to enable LGBT Catholics and the church to come together in a call to end the "us" versus "them" mentality. Turning to the catechism, he draws on the three criteria at the heart of the Christian ministry - "respect, compassion, and sensitivity" - as a model for how the Catholic Church should relate to the LGBT community.

Insightful and Provoking

Father Martin addresses an issue that has for too long been ignored and a group that continues to be vilified. He reminds us to act like Jesus and minister to the marginalized.

Worth a read. Important topic.

Essentially the essay I read a while ago by Father Martin. Great insight and compassion. I'd imagine that LGBT Catholics may find it weak sauce, but it's a thoughtful general audience book.

Finally

I do love the Jesuits and wish I was a couple of years younger to join the brothers.

Again not surprising an open mind. The book has added to my ministry working with LGBT police and fire officers.

With Respect, Compassion, and Sensitivity

I have followed the Pope (in Latin and English!) on Twitter for years, even before Pope Francis became Pontifex. Im Catholic but non-practicing, and a graduate of a Catholic University. When things are scary and out of control, I still look to the Church for comfort. I found and followed Father James Martin, SJ, on Twitter, after the June 12, 2016, Pulse Nightclub Massacre in Orlando, Florida. His words were comforting then, and they still are.

Building a Bridge: ow the Catholic Church and the LGBT Community Can Enter Into a Relationship of Respect, Compassion and Sensitivity (2017) is the beginning of the use of the Catechism of the Catholic Church to support the lives and the faith of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgendered, Queer or Questioning and their Allies. I am using the term beginning because I think its a very good start for a stronger, more inclusive and diverse Church.

I am changing my life as we speak thanks to the help of this book.

Great kindle book - yucky narrative

I loved the kindle book so much that I wanted to listen to it so I can really study it. But the narrating is annoying, the accent/ voice sounds snobby and doesn't fit the topic. I think this needs a soothing voice not a storybook voice. Very frustrating!!

reset your faith mindset

This book has some very down earth just info that are looking to reset mind

Great reminder

Well written and narrated. Frequent references to the importance of faith in our daily walk.

Title: Theology of the Body in Simple Language

Author: Pope John Paul II

Narrator: Adam Nona

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 hrs and 15 mins

Language: English

Release date: 04-24-17

Publisher: Philokalia Books

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 23 votes

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

This book paraphrases 86 of Pope John Paul II's talks on the theology of the body in easy-to-understand English.

Members Reviews:

Good for the basics (perhaps not the best)

The audible book has some key elements from the Theology of the body; however, while John Paul II gave a very rich viewpoint on important themes regarding sexual ethics (contraception, same sex relation, masturbation, etc) these are not quite in this ebook. I'd recommend Christopher West's "Theology of the Body for Beginners" for a better explained and more comprehensive treatment (in even simpler words)

A great gift for newly weds.

This book should at least be in the home of all Catholic families. Excellent book.

Amazing!

I would recommend this book to anyone. It changed my life and I'm so grateful!

Title: Chosen by God

Author: R. C. Sproul

Narrator: Tom Parks

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 6 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-23-17

Publisher: christianaudio.com

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 22 votes

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

With nearly 200,000 copies sold in its 25 years, Chosen by God by Dr. R. C. Sproul is a contemporary classic on predestination, a doctrine that isn't just for Calvinists, says Sproul. It is a doctrine for all biblical Christians. In this updated and expanded edition of Chosen by God, Sproul shows that the doctrine of predestination doesn't create a whimsical or spiteful picture of God but paints a portrait of a loving God who provides redemption for radically corrupt humans. We choose God because he has opened our eyes to see his beauty; we love him because he first loved us. There is mystery in God's ways but not contradiction.

Members Reviews:

Soli Dea Gloria

Solid biblical case for the doctrines of grace given by the greatest theologian of our time.

Explains predestination better than any book Ive read on the subject

Includes applicable scriptures to back up his explanations. Highly recommend! John Piper is so good at what he does as a minister of Gods word.

CHOSEN BY GOD

A must for any one wanting to know more about 'predestination'...full explanation in simple terms makes this Book worthwhile listening...

Very good read!

This book causes you to dig deep into God's Word and know more of Him.

Like the Shepherd guides men on how to embrace the role of shepherd, drawing on the wisdom of the Bible to give men practical, powerful advice on how to take responsibility for their relationships and realize the Christian ideal of a healthy, happy marriage.

Members Reviews:

Great Book

Would you listen to Like the Shepherd again? Why?

Yes, there is a great deal of practical advice for the husband, and it was enjoyable to listen to.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I was motivated to grow in my marriage; to make a good marriage better! I like how the author shares from his heart about personal experiences.

Any additional comments?

It seems there are quite a few good books aimed at the woman's role in a Christian marriage. It is great to have a mature, experienced, married man write a book for the man's role in a marriage. This book could result in helping many marriages toward what God intended for marriage.

Good book for Christian men

I thought it was a good book and that it will help me less my family in a way playing to God.

Get the print version, not the audible version

The book itself is good. However, the reader is horrendous. I linked through this book over several months. This was one of those situations where I knew the book was good and I refused to waste the money I had paid for the audible version. Do yourself a favor and get the print version. It was torture listening to this guy talk for hours.
