Publisher's Summary:

Meticulously researched and brilliantly taught, this course is a rare opportunity to learn about Pope Francis from a leading Church historian. On March 13, 2013, the world watched as white smoke billowed from the chimney of the Sistine Chapel and the words habemus Papam rang through St. Peter's Square.

The crowd was taken aback as Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio became the leader of the world's largest religious community and took the name of Francis - a name that no other pope had ever chosen before. The surprises would not end there, as Pope Francis would usher in great reforms and change. Now, in this 12-lecture course, you will explore the powerful ways in which the Church has changed under its new shepherd. Your guide is Georgetown professor Gerard Mannion (DPhil, University of Oxford), whom Richard Gaillardetz calls "one of the most energetic and incisive voices in Catholic scholarship today".

You've heard his inspiring words - now, this course will bring you behind the headlines to truly understand how Pope Francis became the leader he is today. First, you will meet Jorge Bergoglio, the man who became Papa Francesco, before exploring how and why he is transforming the Church. You will then delve into his powerful vision and priorities for the Church and world, before assessing this ecclesial revolution thus far, considering what the future might hold in store.

With relentless energy, Pope Francis has transformed the Catholic Church's organization, missionary outlook, and relations with those of other faiths. And most importantly, his vision has led to a renewed sense of hope and positive energy radiating throughout the Church. Discover the power of his vision today.

The game of chess is a lot like life. If you make smart moves, then you can stay away from danger, but any bad decision could be your last. As Christians, it is imperative to have a strategic understanding of Heaven's perspective of the Kingdom of Light versus the kingdom of darkness. Every move, every decision, every act of obedience has an outcome that determines our victory or defeat.

Author Daphne Delay gives the listener insight into understanding righteousness, deception, and authority. Once you have an understanding of these three things, you are like a soldier prepared for battle and equipped for the task. Then, you can go and shine as a light into the world as Jesus commanded us to do.

Title: The Query

Author: Larry D. Moeller

Narrator: Larry D. Moeller

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 29 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-26-17

Publisher: Parson's Porch Books

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

The Query is a collection of stories - stories of hope - arising from a simple question: "What is the reason for the hope that is within you?"

They were gathered through chance encounters with strangers across America: on airplanes, in restaurants or cafés, at a car dealership, in a jury waiting room.

The stories are as diverse as the storytellers: a teen anticipating senior prom in the arms of her first love; a crusty construction superintendent; an engaging nuclear physicist; a widow scarred by life, with no hope; a Catholic priest on assignment in Rome; a long-haul truck driver; an Army colonel with tours in Bosnia, Iraq, and Afghanistan; a seasoned executive in the twilight of career; a thrice-married divorcee yearning for another chance; an eager young Polish immigrant, now a Fortune 500 engineer; and many more.

Listeners eavesdrop on deeply personal conversations as stories unfold. They are struck by a sad truth when Todd, the bankruptcy attorney and attentive husband in the story "Everything Changed", shares: "I've been reflecting that we don't really take the time to listen to people anymore."

Often the stories turn to matters of faith. Some story tellers found hope through church in the middle of despair. For others, church or religion was a source of hurt, leading the author to observe: "I wonder. How would a faith community - a church, a mosque, a synagogue, a temple - be perceived differently if it became known above all as the people who listen, and not the people who preach?"

Members Reviews:

Interesting stories, but that's about it.

Interesting stories, but not much in the way of a tie-in or a message. The Query is a question posed to each person who then tells a story. So they become a hodge podge of journalistic style stories with not much cohesion. Tried to use for a group study and everyone in the group was in agreement - not really a group study style book.

Interesting Read!

I enjoyed reading this book and the premise intrigues me. I will begin posing The Query when so motivated and will look forward to the responses I receive. This book is uplifting in the messages conveyed by the responses. I think there is yet hope for humankind. Will be gifting copies of this book to friends.

Spiritual Principles Recognized

The short stories made the book very easy to read, and as a reader I was able to recognize the spiritual principles that can be applied to each story.

Well... I'm biased, since I am ...

Well ... I'm biased, since I am the author and also the narrator of the audio book. Listening to the stories bring back vivid memories of each engagement, and those memories remain indelible imprints. Hope y'all are moved in their telling! Larry Moeller

Stories of Hope

Larry Moeller's compilation of stories of hope is thought provoking and will stimulate discussion on life's experiences. A great read!

Title: A Christian's Quick Guide to the Papacy

Subtitle: Its Origin and Role in the 21st Century

Language: English

Release date: 09-12-17

Publisher: christianaudio.com

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

Who are the popes, and how does the Roman Catholic Church define their role? What about the present day popes? What is the ecumenical significance of the papacy, and what are its prospects in the global world? These and other questions are tackled as Leonardo De Chirico explores the biblical, historical, and theological fabric of the papacy.

Members Reviews:

The Papacy 101

This small book examines the development of the papacy in Catholic history with a chapter especially devoted to recent popes, John Paul II, Benedict XVI, and Francis.

As early Christianity gradually displaced paganism as the official religion of the Roman Empire it adapted many of the beliefs, practices, and rituals of its rival. When the imperial seat transferred to Constantinople, the bishop of Rome became the de facto emperor of the West. The papacy patterned itself on the imperial model and sought to become the most powerful ecclesiastical and political authority in the world.

Dr. De Chirico provides many valuable insights into the history of the papacy and its possible future prospects especially in light of the growing secularization of the West combined with the relentless march of ecumenism. There is no doubt the papacy is planning for all possible eventualities.

Every Evangelical pastor needs to read this book and everyone who loves Jesus Christ and the Gospel of grace would benefit from it as well.

Informative and Easy to Follow

Point: The papacy is a global institution with incredible influence but no Scriptural support.

Path: The author helps the non-Catholic navigate the question of the Papacy by explaining its origins, its history, its influence, and its current manifestations.

Sources: His own extensive research and experience, including works by popes, councils, and dissenting voices.

Agreement: I found this to be a very helpful overview of the papal structure and idea. I appreciated that he both dealt with the contemporary (focusing on the last three popes) and also the methodology tracing back to 300 AD.

Favorite Quote: ââthe official titles of the Pope: âBishop of Romeâ âVicar of Jesus Christâ âSuccessor of the prince of the Apostlesâ (i.e. Peter) âSupreme Pontiff of the Universal Churchâ âPrimate of Italyâ and âArchbishop and Metro-politan of the Roman Provinceâ âSovereign of the State of the Vatican Cityâ âServant of Godâs servantsâ. This list of Papal titles is astonishing and covers various religious offices, political tasks and organizational responsibilities. Each title provides a different perspective on the Papal office, and taken as a whole they help one appreciate who the Pope is and what he doesâ (Kindle, 97).

It would be worth another read and I would recommend it to someone who:

Is or was Catholic

Has an interest in Historical Theology

Is going to visit Rome

Title: A Christian's Quick Guide to Baptism

Subtitle: The Water That Unites

Author: Robert Letham

Narrator: Ralph Lister

Format: Unabridged

Length: 3 hrs and 3 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-01-17

Publisher: christianaudio.com

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

What is Christian baptism? Is it, as many believe, a mere symbol? When should someone be baptized? In A Christian's Quick Guide to Baptism, Robert Letham answers such questions from scripture. He reflects sensitively on historic Christian teaching and avoids the extremes that often mark discussions of this subject, making this a book for everyone.

Letham's plain talk will not leave beginners bemused, nor will it frustrate those who want to make real progress in their theological understanding. It is a "tragedy", says Letham, that Christians should think of baptism as "the water that divides". The sign of our union with Christ should unite Christians, not least because it does not focus on our actions, but on God's mighty deeds. Baptism belongs to him. It must always be administered in connection with faith, yet that does not mean Christians do anything to receive or to earn baptism. They are to be baptized solely because of God's gracious promises.

An Excellent Introduction to Baptism

It has been said that the doctrine of the sacraments serves as a litmus test for the strength or weakness of any system of theology. This is true because our theology of the Sacraments draws upon our broader conception of the grace of the gospel and how the Triune God communicates Christ and the benefits of salvation to us (see pp. 102-104). In particular, the Sacraments serve as a window into what are often referred to as "the means of grace."

Robert Letham's contribution to the new Christian's Pocket Guide series is an outstanding addition to a series that promises to serve the church well for years to come. This short book is a great achievement. It is one of the most profound, simple, and compelling treatments of the subject of baptism in a short space that this reviewer has read. Letham's treatment is comprehensive without being overwhelming. He has rooted the doctrine of baptism into an entire biblical theology that is confessionally Reformed and accessible to readers who have no prior knowledge of the subject, yet he addresses virtually all questions that are pertinent to his topic (Including a refutation of Karl Barth and others in less than six pages! Pp. 62-67.).

The book consists of two primary sections and a conclusion that comprise nine brief chapters. The first two chapters address the theological method that we bring to reading our Bibles as well as how we view the relationship between the Old and New Testaments. Then, using the Noahic covenant as an important precedent, Letham stresses in chapter three the manner in which sacraments are God's actions in making promises to us and not merely the badges of our professions of faith. Chapter four helpfully illustrates the relationship between individuals and the corporate body of the church. These four chapters masterfully set the stage for all that follows by challenging our Western individualism with the biblical balance between the corporate and the individual. The following two chapters demonstrate what baptism means in terms of cleansing from sin and union with Christ. Union with Christ encompasses every aspect and benefit of salvation and this is what baptism signifies, seals, and applies in the lives of believers.

Title: Experiencing the Good News

Narrator: Msgr. Charles Pope MDiv

Format: Original Recording

Length: 4 hrs and 57 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-21-17

Publisher: Now You Know Media Inc.

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

Join one of the top Catholic preachers and Bible study leaders in America in exploring what it means to truly experience the Gospel in your own life. In this series, you will explore what it really means to know, that is, to experience, the new life that Christ has given us through his death.

With Msgr. Pope, you will consider how to grasp this life more deeply and experience how the lord ministers to us in our lives through his word, the Sacraments, and the sacred liturgy. See how the word of God does not merely inform, but also performs.

Our lord Jesus Christ died on the cross and rose for us. In so doing, he has not only cleansed us from our sins by his precious blood, but has also made available for us an entirely new life by the power of his cross. St. Paul says, if anyone is in Christ he is a new creation, the old things are passed away, behold, all things are made new (2 Cor. 5:17). This is not just a slogan. St. Paul is describing a reality that he and the early Christians actually experienced. He is describing the normal Christian life.

More than a Bible study or a series of sermons, these talks were crafted to fully engage your heart, mind and spirit to help you experience life to the fullest.

Title: Dancing with the Devil

Subtitle: The Battle for the Soul of God's Children and the Life of a Christian Nation

Author: Kathleen Dryden

Narrator: Margaret Reveira

Format: Unabridged

Length: 17 hrs and 27 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-16-17

Publisher: Revival Waves of Glory Books & Publishing

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

Dancing with the Devil is about the evil strategies Satan uses to capture the soul of a Christian and how his destructiveness infiltrates the government of a Christian nation. When we let this enemy inside the temple of the Lord, (our heart and mind) and into our government entities we will begin to live a life of deep sorrow and regret. However, regardless of his strategies, he cannot enter those places where he doesn't belong unless we give him access through the choices we make that reject Christ's statutes.

To dance with the devil is to ignore scriptural wisdom, willingly trading biblical truth for personal lust and power while still claiming to be a Christian, attending church, and influencing others, especially tender hearts and innocent minds. It is to flirt with an evil attitude, and/or participate in evil behavior. Through my own personal experiences, as well as those shared by close friends and family, I have come to realize how the sinful choices each of us makes contributes to our own demise and to the brokenness in our families, which leads to a spiritually and physically broken nation. Every Christian must choose to help reduce evil, bring justice to the innocent, and help turn people to Christ by using wisdom and understanding to make good choices.

Dancing with the Devil teaches Christians why it is important to let the Lord open the eyes of our hearts so we can understand how living in disobedience to His Word jeopardizes our soul and creates a world of evil - evil that begins with the smallest intent of the heart and mind, ends with the most wicked action, and sets up our people and our nation for failure. While we will never eradicate all the evil in the world, we must believe that it exists and accurately define it. Then we can judge and punish it, taking warlike action against it when necessary, minimizing its effect on humanity.

Language: English

Release date: 08-08-17

Publisher: Now You Know Media Inc.

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

Explore the enduring power of Vatican II's teachings in our day and age.

As John XXIII said, the Catholic Church is not a museum filled with artifacts but rather "a flourishing garden of life" that moves ever forward into the future. This profound vision led him to convene a new ecumenical council, the first in almost a century. Now, just over 50 years after the Second Vatican Council, Catholics are still fully realizing that council's bold vision for the church.

In this audio series, you will look at Vatican II as a starting point for reflecting on the challenges facing the Catholic Church today. The council laid the foundations for a bold new vision of the church; now, it is our task to bring that vision to completion.

Your guide for this powerful exploration is Dr. Richard Gaillardetz (PhD, Notre Dame), the past president of the Catholic Theological Society of America and a charismatic teacher. You will first look at the council in a broad historical context, exploring Vatican II as an event that revealed much about what it means to be church. You will also explore the essential contributions of the council, considering how they might best be implemented in the church today. You will find great insights into the life of the church in Vatican II and the church of the third millennium. Discover how to make the council's bold vision a reality today.
