Title: Reckoning with Power: Why the Church Fails When It's on the Wrong Side of Power

Author: David E. Fitch

Narrator: James R. Cheatham

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 7 hours 4 minutes

Release date: January 30, 2024

Genres: Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

History is clear: Whenever the church has aligned itself with worldly, coercive power, it ends up on the wrong side of important justice issues. But when the church cooperates with God's power through his presence among the least powerful, its witness for Jesus transforms the world into a better place. In Reckoning with Power, David Fitch unpacks the difference between worldly power, or power over others, and God's power, which engages not in coercion but in love, reconciliation, grace, forgiveness, and healing. In a world where we can see the abuses of power everywhere—in our homes, schools, governments, and churches—Fitch teaches listeners how to discern power and avoid its abuses and traumas. By learning from the church's historical pitfalls, Fitch empowers Christians to relinquish worldly power and make space for God to disrupt and transform our culture for his kingdom.

Title: Memorize the Faith! (and Most Anything Else): Using the Methods of the Great Catholic Medieval Memory Masters

Author: Kevin Vost

Narrator: Tom Parks

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 5 hours 43 minutes

Release date: January 30, 2024

Genres: Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

Yes, I know that memorizing the Faith is no substitute for living a holy life, but even devout people can't live by truths and precepts they don't remember. That's why, over 700 years ago, St. Thomas Aquinas perfected an easy method for his students to memorize most any information, but especially the truths taught by Christ and His Church. Now thanks to Memorize the Faith!, you can easily keep all these in mind by tapping into the power of the classical memory system that helped St. Thomas become the Church's preeminent theologian, and made it easier for him to become one of its greatest saints. Here, Catholic scholar Kevin Vost makes available again Aquinas's easy-to-learn method—the method Dr. Vost himself has used for decades to recall names, dates, phone numbers. Dr. Vost will teach you to remember virtually anything, but he devotes most of his book to showing you how to improve your memory of Catholic truths so you can live the Faith better. By the time you finish this book, you will have memorized dozens of key teachings of the Church, along with hundreds of precepts, traditions, theological terms, Scripture verses, and other elements of the Faith that every good Catholic needs.

Title: Critical Dilemma: The Rise of Critical Theories and Social Justice Ideology-Implications for the Church and Society

Author: Pat Sawyer, Neil Shenvi

Narrator: Tom Parks

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 19 hours 13 minutes

Release date: January 23, 2024

Genres: Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

Where Are Critical Theory and the Social Justice Movement Taking Us? Critical theory and its expression in fields such as critical race theory, critical pedagogy, and queer theory are having a profound impact on our culture. Contemporary critical theory's ideas about race, class, gender, identity, and justice have dramatically shaped how people think, act, and view one another—in Christian and secular spheres alike. In Critical Dilemma, authors Neil Shenvi and Pat Sawyer illuminate the origins and influences of contemporary critical theory, considering it in the light of clear reason and biblical orthodoxy. While acknowledging that it can provide some legitimate insights regarding race, class, and gender, Critical Dilemma exposes the false assumptions at the heart of critical theory, arguing that it poses a serious threat to both the church and society at large. Drawing on exhaustive research and careful analysis, Shenvi and Sawyer condemn racism, urge Christians to seek justice, and offer a path forward for racial healing and unity while also opposing critical theory's manifold errors.

Title: Stop Saying I'm Fine: Finding Stillness When Anxiety Screams

Author: Taylor Joy Murray

Narrator: Emma Faye

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 5 hours 49 minutes

Release date: January 23, 2024

Genres: Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

What if 'I'm fine' is the language that the wounded heart speaks? Many of us have become experts at pretending we're fine. Our shiny social media feeds and skin-deep smiles certainly give off a happy illusion. But we are not fine. Taylor has heard countless stories from her generation of our fetal positions on cold tile floors, immobilized by anxiety. She personally knows this place well. At eighteen, she too found herself in an anxiety-induced fetal position behind a locked bathroom stall, wondering, 'What did Jesus mean when he promised me full life?' Stop Saying I'm Fine is a generational call to honesty, healing, and a spiritual hunger that defies superficial Christianity. We'll dig beneath the bedrock of our anxiety into the pain of our experiences, and together we'll learn how to connect to the stillness that exists beneath the chaos, finding that the wholeness and healing we long for isn't as distant as it may seem. ● For the young adult who feels trapped inside their anxiety ● For the parent or caregiver who aches to understand ● For the wounded heart that can't seem to move on ● For the weary one who has tried and failed a thousand other ways

Title: Hope Ain't a Hustle: Persevering by Faith in a Wearying World

Author: Irwyn L. Ince

Narrator: Terrence Kidd

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 6 hours 42 minutes

Release date: January 23, 2024

Genres: Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

Sometimes hope can feel like a scam—a swindle, a hustle. You thought it was real, and you bought into it. But then the tables turn, and you feel like you've been hustled—like you've been had. As Christians, we often respond to the brokenness of life as if we do not actually have hope—as if the promises of God are not really certain. But Pastor Irwyn Ince assures us that not only do we have hope, but that hope cannot disappoint us because it is validated by God himself. Hope Ain't a Hustle is a clear and accessible exploration of the epistle to the Hebrews, urging us to place our confidence in the finished work of our great high priest, Jesus Christ, and showing how that confidence changes the way we live in the here and now. It's not that Christians don't face grief or anger, disappointment or deep sorrow. It's that we don't face them as those 'who have no hope.'

Title: Praying Like Monks, Living Like Fools: Audio Bible Studies: A Bible Study on Learning to Pray Like Jesus

Series: Part of Audio Bible Studies

Author: Tyler Staton

Narrator: Tyler Staton

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 1 hour 38 minutes

Release date: January 16, 2024

Genres: Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

Prayer is far more powerful than most of us realize or experience. Join pastor and author Tyler Staton in this audio Bible study as he delves deeply into what prayer is and how to experience prayer as Jesus promised it. Prayer is an incredible gift, and it has incredible power. But for most of us, there's an equally incredible gap between our own experiences of prayer and Jesus' promises about it. Why is that? What are our roadblocks in praying as Jesus did? How can we discover the power of prayer in our own lives? In this Bible study, you'll embark on a journey that will lead you from receiving Christ's intercession to interceding with Christ. Staton will unpack the Lord's Prayer into four core practices: adoration, confession, petition, and intercession. But it all starts with the profound realization that Jesus is interceding for us, by name, right now. The Audio Bible Studies series provides a unique audio learning experience. Unlike a traditional audiobook's direct narration of a book's text, this audio Bible study includes high-quality, live audio sessions from the author that cover important Bible-based topics. These sessions will reflect the ambiance of the unique recording locations, immersing the listener into the teaching. While not required for the audio experience, these studies are designed to partner with the coordinating study guide, sold separately.
