Title: What's the Least I Can Believe and Still Be a Christian?: A Guide to What Matters Most (New Edition with Study Guide)

Author: Martin Thielen

Narrator: Jim Seybert

Format: Unabridged

Length: 05:02:03

Language: English

Release date: 03-26-24

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Summary:

Pastor and author Martin Thielen has compiled a list of ten things people need to believe, and ten things they don't, in order to be a Christian. This lively and engaging book will be a help to seekers as well as a comfort to believers who may find themselves questioning some of the assumptions they grew up with. With an accessible, storytelling style that's grounded in solid biblical scholarship, Thielen shows how Christians don't need to believe that sinners will be 'left behind' to burn in hell or that it's heresy to believe in evolution. And while we must always take the Bible seriously, we don't always have to take it literally.

At the same time, Christians do need to believe in Jesus-his life, his teachings, his death and resurrection, and his vision for the world. A great benefit of those beliefs is that they provide promising answers to life's most profound questions. Thielen articulates centrist, mainline Christianity in a way that's easy to understand and offers authentic Christian insights that speak to our deepest needs.

This new edition includes a leader's guide and an introduction from the author that reflects on the book's reception. The leader's guide features unique and easily implemented aids for carrying out a seven-week, congregation-wide initiative that will help local churches reach out to their communities.

Title: Putin's Wars and NATO's Flaws: Why Russia Invaded Ukraine

Author: Paul Moorcraft

Narrator: Mike Cooper

Format: Unabridged

Length: 06:07:31

Language: English

Release date: 03-26-24

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: History, Europe, Global Politics, Russia

Summary:

This book explores why there is a major war again in Europe. Putin's actions need to be understood if not forgiven. With the Ukraine conflict seen as a proxy war of NATO versus Russia, how likely is the fighting to spread?

The author, a highly respected journalist and political commentator, explains why Russia invaded a sovereign neighbor. To what extent did NATO's expansion to Russia's borders in the aftermath of the Cold War provoke Putin? Did the West's recent humiliating defeats in the Middle East and South Asia encourage Putin to exploit what he saw as its decadent strategic weakness and lack of resolve? What were the reasons for Russia's savage behavior in Ukraine? How might the Ukraine war end and what will the post-bellum world look like?

The war in Ukraine has had worldwide impact with cost of living, food and energy crises, and raised the risk of nuclear Armageddon by accident or intent. It examines the complex military and political issues in layman's language while the story is told as a compelling historical narrative.

Professor Moorcraft, who has worked in Ukraine and has witnessed Russian troops in action in Afghanistan, is superbly qualified to write this work.

Title: Vagabond Princess: The Great Adventures of Gulbadan

Author: Ruby Lal

Narrator: Elizabeth Wiley

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11:12:54

Language: English

Release date: 03-26-24

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Biography & Memoir, World, History & Culture, Women

Summary:

Situated in the early decades of the magnificent Mughal Empire, this first ever biography of Princess Gulbadan offers an enthralling portrait of a charismatic adventurer and unique pictures of the multicultural society in which she lived. Following a migratory childhood that spanned Kabul and north India, Gulbadan spent her middle years in a walled harem established by her nephew Akbar to showcase his authority as the Great Emperor. Gulbadan longed for the exuberant itinerant lifestyle she'd known. With Akbar's blessing, she led an unprecedented sailing and overland voyage and guided harem women on an extended pilgrimage in Arabia. Amid increasing political tensions, the women's 'un-Islamic' behavior forced their return, lengthened by a dramatic shipwreck in the Red Sea.

Gulbadan wrote a book upon her return, the only extant work of prose by a woman of the age. A portion of it is missing, either lost to history or redacted by officials who did not want the princess to have her say.

Vagabond Princess contemplates the story of the missing pages and breathes new life into a daring historical figure. It offers a portal to a richly complex world, rife with movement and migration, where women's conviviality, adventure, and autonomies shine through.

Title: Erich Fromm Reader

Author: Erich Fromm

Narrator: Chris Sorensen

Format: Unabridged

Length: 06:40:31

Language: English

Release date: 03-26-24

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Non-Fiction, Philosophy

Summary:

'Fromm crossed the boundaries of traditional disciplines to expound his view on the alienation of man in an increasingly technological world.' -Newsweek

Erich Fromm's basic idea was to look at the individual as a social being, and to look at society as an ensemble of many individuals who have not only mutual ideas and convictions based on a common practice of life, but also a shared psychic structure. With his concept of 'social character,' Fromm created a new interdisciplinary thinking presented in this compendium.

The Erich Fromm Reader exhibits the true genius of an original thinker in seeing the connections between overlapping knowledge from many different fields. Here, interdisciplinarity is not only a lip service but the impact of Erich Fromm's unique social psychological notion.

Title: Herod the Great: Jewish King in a Roman World

Author: Martin Goodman

Narrator: Will Tulin

Format: Unabridged

Length: 06:00:18

Language: English

Release date: 03-26-24

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Biography & Memoir, History & Culture

Summary:

A vivid account of the political triumphs and domestic tragedies of the Jewish king Herod the Great during the turmoil of the Roman revolution

Herod the Great (73-4 BCE) was a phenomenally energetic ruler who took advantage of the chaos of the Roman revolution to establish himself as a major figure in a changing Roman world and transform the landscape of Judaea. Both Jews and Christians developed myths about his cruelty and rashness: in Christian tradition he was cast as the tyrant who ordered the Massacre of the Innocents; in the Talmud, despite fond memories of his glorious Temple in Jerusalem, he was recalled as a persecutor of rabbis.

The life of Herod is better documented than that of any other Jew from antiquity, and Martin Goodman examines the extensive literary and archaeological evidence to provide a vivid portrait of Herod in his sociopolitical context: his Idumaean origins, his installation by Rome as king of Judaea and cultivation of leading Romans, his massive architectural projects, and his presentation of himself as a Jew, most strikingly through the rebuilding of the Jerusalem Temple. Goodman argues that later stories depicting Herod as a monster derived from public interest in his execution of three of his sons after dramatic public trials foisted on him by a dynastic policy imposed by the Roman emperor.
