Title: The Age of Promise

Subtitle: Escape the Shadows of the Law to Live in the Light of Christ

Author: Randy Robison

Narrator: Randy Robison

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 51 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-30-18

Publisher: Thomas Nelson

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

The past provides a blueprint for the present and promises hope for the future.

Many Christians struggle to understand Old Testament teachings. We look at the laws and rituals and wonder how those long-ago practices could possibly be relevant to our lives now. Randy Robison believes they are not only necessary but are in fact vital to a closer walk with Jesus.

In The Age of Promise, Robison introduces us to 10 foundational promises made in the Old Testament and transformed in Christ, 10 mysteries now revealed in Jesus that offer us a deeper, more powerful relationship with the Father. These 10 promises, which bring God's intricate plan of redemption to fulfillment, include:

When we learn from the past and apply it to the present, we determine our future. The Age of Promise invites us to uncover the glorious riches of our heritage of faith and experience real transformation in our everyday lives. With the light of Christ shining on the shadows of the past, we develop a more complete perspective and discover a deeper, more powerful relationship with the eternal Father who is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

Great Primer on the Lord's Supper from a Baptistic Perspective

âThe Christian life is a churched life.â This simple, yet profound statement under-girds a new series of books Church Basics edited by Jonathan Leeman from B&H. This series is aimed at the average church member and each book addresses a specific part of church life of which every church member ought to be both knowledgeable about and involved in.

Understanding Baptism answers basic questions like What is Baptism?, Who Should be Baptized?, and How Should Churches Practice Baptism? This book, as well as all those in the series, are written, and thus the questions are answered, by those who take a Baptistic understanding of church government, baptism, and the Lordâs Supper. Even those Christians who have a different understanding of these church life issues will benefit from these books if they want to learn the other side and want to be challenged about their own position. Leeman defines baptism as follows: âBaptism is a churchâs act of affirming and portraying a believerâs union with Christ by immersing him or her in water, and a believerâs act of publicly committing him or herself to Christ and his people, thereby uniting a believer to the church and marking off him or her from the world.â (6)

Understanding the Congregationâs Authority addresses basic issues about the congregations role in the church such as what Jesus expects of his understanding-the-congregations-authority-by-leemandisciples in the church, the role Adam had and how that relates to church members, and the role pastors play in a church members discipleship. Too often is our churches the pastors (and its even worse if there is only one full-time pastor) and elders (though this is not always the case with them) are expected to do the lion share of church ministry. But is this the case? Is a pastor supposed to master all ministries so that he can be the only one ministering to everyone else? This book argues no and provides a solidly biblical case for the every-member-a-minister mindset. This is congregationalism, which is to say that, while the elders lead a local church, the congregation rules the church because thatâs their God-given responsibility.

Understanding the Lordâs Supper first presents a biblical theology of the Lordâs Supper and then answers questions like Who can Celebrate it?, Who can Administer it?, and How Should Christians Approach it? I encourage Christians to read this book and the book on baptism together and to read the book on baptism first. The baptism book will help you understand how baptism unites individual Christians together and this book on the Lordsâ Supper will help you see how those united Christians express their unity to the world and reaffirm their unity with each other.

Title: Imprisoned to Hope

Subtitle: Forgiveness as a Form of Lament

Author: Vernon Burger II

Narrator: Nicholas Flesher

Format: Unabridged

Length: 3 hrs and 43 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-22-18

Publisher: Lucid Books

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

The tears of God are the strength of history. It is this paradox that is the pathway for an honest faith that is both honoring to God and able to be true to every day life. Imprisoned to Hope will help you:

When we understand that God is fully present, and affected, during the deepest times of violation, we are then empowered to vocalize our greatest pains and see that honest faith is not only filled with praise, but can even include pain and doubt. It is this type of biblical faith that allows us to see His merciful presence in all situations. This is the path to being imprisoned to hope.

Critic Reviews:

"The American church does not understand lamentation and does not like to lament. The unwise aversion to lament has contributed to the thinness of American Christianity. With Imprisoned to Hope Vernon Burger has sent up a signal flare and alerted us to the loss we suffer when we refuse the necessary role of lament. In this well-researched and well-written book, Burger traces lament through the Bible and insightfully connects it with the practice of Christian forgiveness. Imprisoned to Hope offers a pathway toward healing that many of us need to walk." - Brian Zahnd, pastor of Word of Life Church in St. Joseph, Missouri, author of Sinners in the Hands of a Loving God

"You would think that Christians would be experts in forgiveness, not only because weve been forgiven much but also because were commanded by Christ to forgive others. But unforgiveness is a perennial problem in the Church. Why? Enter Vernon Burgers insightful study on the importance of lament. Based on his careful study of the Scriptures, Burger describes what he calls the anatomy of lament, that which is constitutive of genuine, liberating, revolutionary forgiveness. Since we dont know how to truly grieve over our sinnot only our personal foibles but also the injustices of the worldwe fail to realize the forgiveness only Christ can bring. Punctuated by his own story of abuse and restless longing for healing, Burger explains how a wounded soul finds restoration in the singular act of biblical lamentation in Christ. A must-read for those who identify with Jesuss lament on the cross, My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" - Rodney Reeves, dean and Redford professor of biblical studies, Southwest Baptist University

"Its so rare to see a book on this subject, but it is beyond necessary and long overdue. This great work will lead you to a healthy perspective of worship in hardship, maybe for the first time." - Tedashii Anderson, artist, performer, radio host, speaker, writer

"With the raw emotions that come with lament, Vernon Burger charts a course back home from the dark places of pain. Imprisoned to Hope is the spiritual journey that so many people need to see how God meets us in our pain and delivers us into a closer relationship with Christ." - Dr. Philip Nation, pastor, author of Habits for Our Holiness

Highly Recommended

The first time I met Vernon was in a coffee shop while he was a young college student. As was my custom, since many visitors and strangers came to this little place, I asked "So what's your story", and Vernon told me about his conversion.

Members Reviews:

Interesting treatment of a selected group

This volume tries to update the monumental work of William Warren Sweet's Religion on the American Frontier published more than sixty years ago. It seems it is a compromise for those who wish for updated individual denominational histories over against publishers who realize there is limited interest in academia or American culture for books that are designed for specific audiences.

The editor is optimistic about the future of denominationalism in America and hopes this volume will lead to a synthesis "of religious authority as it relates to denominational structure and community," As such the volume provides a good source for "updating" as individual authors have chosen some specific feature in the past and present situation of Catholics, Presbyterians, Baptists, Methodists, Black Protestants, Mormons, and Pentecostals. In Baptist historiography Harper has left out the work of an important scholar Walter B. Shurden who has written extensively and who is widely recognized as an authority in the field in Baptist circles.

This reviewer wonders why the word "historiography" was not included in the title as the essays illuminate the trends of each group and how historians have treated them. As one who has taught and lived within the cocoon of denominational life for more than four decades, I am not as optimistic about the future of denominationalism. Sociological and demographic studies of American Christianity during the last decade indicate that denominations are declining in numbers and their structures are not meeting the demands of twenty-first century churchlife. A considerable number of "networks" are competing with denominations as pastors and laity in the churches attempt to reinterpret and renew what they believe is Missio Dei.

In addition, literature for Christian education available to the churches has left the boundaries of a monopolistic denominational publishing house. This is witnessed by the abundance of materials available on line and by the diminishing loyalty of Sunday school teachers who desire materials akin to 21st century modalities.

Added to the above, publications of in-depth studies like this book by university presses are slower and expensive to publish. It may take a book from one to two years to be published after its conception and writing.

Title: Understanding the Great Commission

Subtitle: Church Basics

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 25 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-22-18

Publisher: christianaudio.com

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

God means to fulfill the Great Commission through local churches.

How did the apostles and the churches of the New Testament obey the Great Commission? By gathering Christians together in churches. The church is God's plan for evangelism, discipleship, and the Great Commission.

This connection between the Great Commission and the church dramatically impacts how both leaders and members should think about their work of making disciples. We do it together.

Members Reviews:

Very thought-provoking

I have never seen Great Commission in light of the author's explanation (corporate local church planting vs. individual evangelism). Awesome read!

and easy read.

Solid theology and to the point. Short, quick, and easy read.

Title: Meeting Jesus and Following Him

Author: Francis Cardinal Arinze

Narrator: Bernard M. Collins

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 hrs and 25 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-22-18

Publisher: Ignatius Press

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

Drawn from his retreat talks given to Pope Benedict and his associates at the papal household, Cardinal Arinze offers inspiring spiritual exercises focusing on the meaning of the priestly life. "The red thread which will run through all these meditations," writes Cardinal Arinze, "is the image of the priest who, called by Jesus, meets him, follows him and seeks each day to become a better disciple."

Although the Cardinal refers to "priests", he insists that much of what he says applies to anyone in ordained ministry - deacons, priests and bishops. In fact, even lay people and the religious can greatly benefit from prayerfully hearing his reflections on being a disciple of the Lord.

"For every human being, for every Christian, and even more for every priest, Jesus Christ gives meaning to life", writes Cardinal Arinze. "He gives a sense of unity to all the things in which we are engaged. Jesus indicates the correct direction for our life because he is the way, the truth and the life (cf Jn 14:6). In these meditations we shall have in front of us the priest who meets Jesus and follows him."

Members Reviews:

A Must Read for Catholics

This is a must read for every Priest, Bishop and Deacon and anyone else seeking to know the heart and mind of Christ in the ministerial Priesthood of Jesus Christ!

Thank you Your Eminence, Francis Cardinal Arinze, for setting my heart on fire for the Holy Orders that Our Lord has entrusted to this poor Deacon. In Christ and Mary, Deacon Lorenzo G. Salazar, Diocese of San Angelo, Texas

For Lay People Too

I like this book. You don't have to be a priest to get something good out of it. I highly recommend it. I bought the Kindle edition for my ipod touch. I wish I had bought the paperback version so I could pass it along.

Title: The Spiritual Warfare System: The Ultimate Guide to the Extraordinary Life

Author: Enock Addison

Narrator: Chris Abernathy

Format: Unabridged

Length: 31 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-19-18

Publisher: Author's Republic

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

Don't be fooled for even a second. The devil is real, active, and deceptive. And he loves to work undercover, making people think it's all flesh and blood. But he is busy at work in everybody's life, and it's a big disadvantage for those who don't know it yet. Do you know that he is more aggressive and angry now than ever before? And this is because he knows his time is short! Just listen to the daily news, and you will know how he silently hides behind the scenes, but actively works against us. Deception is his primary weapon, and he uses it consistently, dangerously, and skillfully. He works by making the truths appear as lies, and the lies appear as the truths.

But the good news is that just one of us has enough power and authority from above to defeat him and destroy all his work around us. And we can easily do this by learning to live in the way Christ did - strictly according to the Word of God and through the power of the Holy Spirit! Only the truths in the Word of God, which is also the sword of the Holy Spirit, can cut through the devil's chains of deception, but not religion, philosophy, psychology, or science! And this system shows you exactly how to live that kind of life and do so easily! Get ready for the extraordinary life!

Humanity is losing the war with the devil, evil, and immorality, because we try to make changes to the conscious mind, instead of the subconscious one. Consciously, we know we should do the right things, but subconsciously, we want to do the opposite. Consciously, we think we can do something, but subconsciously, we lack the power to do the same. And this has been a problem of humanity for ages. But the solution is simple. First, program the subconscious mind with the truths of the Word of God, then the conscious mind has no way to behave differently.

This system will help you to reprogram your subconscious mind with some beneficial truths so that it will work for you, instead of against you. It contains some universal principles and laws that have worked in the past for some people in the Bible, and continue to work for everyone who practices them in today's world. Listen to this fact, if the subconscious mind is not in agreement with your life, then you fight only losing battles. That is why it's almost impossible for humans to successfully change habits or defeat addictions without a change in the subconscious mind first. It's like attempting to change effects without first changing the cause.

A Detailed Concise Overview of Our Saviour

As a Christian, I never get tired of reading about our Savior Jesus Christ. This book is very good concise read that will give anyone wanting to learn all about our Savior and HIS 33 years or so on this Earth.

The book captures the essence of his life, the time period, and particularly Passion Week, the most significant part of Jesus's Ministry and events leading up to his Crucifixion.

This is RECOMMEND for any Christina or for anyone wanting to learn more about Jesus Christ.

Two corrections.

This book while brief captured many highlights of the life of Christ. Two things wrong was where the author said that Jesus sometimes broke. This is incorrect for Christ never broke Gods law. The Jews many additions to God's law many of which mishandled God's law. These Christ could ignore without breaking God's law. Second wine was not used at the last supper. The bible very clearly says the fruit of the vine which meant unfermented grape juice.

Very Informative Book

I am not a Christian so I bought this book out of curiosity.I was pleasantly surprised and found the book very informative.I enjoyed the part of Christ's early years and from my non-religious perspective it gave me new insight into the history of Jesus Christ.I recommend this book if you are looking for a basic understanding of the the life of Christ.

Love it!

As a Christian I've read several books about Jesus in my life, but especially in this one, the author has managed to make me more proud of my religion. With precise words explains the life of Christ and how he suffered to redeem the world from its sins. It's full of life lessons that can be helpful for any person, Christian or no Christian. You should definitely take time to read this. Inspire yourself

Recommended!

This is interesting book, especially I was amazed about figuring out an actual time range when Jesus lived.

If you are too lazy to read a Bible, or you have never heard about what Jesus Christ died for - this is a book for you.

Author helps you to understand, what kind of life Jesus lived, so that you could understand, what an important figure he was.

Thanks! Recommended!

Title: Clean Water, Red Wine, Broken Bread

Author: Douglas Wilson

Narrator: Aaron Wells

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 44 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-19-18

Publisher: Canon Press

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

The Christian faith proclaims a standing invitation to a grand and glorious banquet. But those who wish to attend this feast must first be washed. This washing is declared by the clean water of baptism. After we are washed, we may sit down at the Lord's Supper, consisting of red wine and broken bread.

An invitation to this banquet is too gracious to be dismissed out of hand, and it is too profound to accept glibly. The Christian faith is a serious and demanding religion, founded on the gladness and delight of God. As a faith, it is an all-encompassing worldview which cannot be reduced to cute little slogans.
