Title: Understanding the Theology of the Church

Author: Fr. Richard Lennan Dr. Theol.

Narrator: Fr. Richard Lennan Dr. Theol.

Format: Original Recording

Length: 5 hrs and 2 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-16-17

Publisher's Summary:

Every week Catholics proclaim to believe in "one holy, Catholic, and apostolic church", but what does this really mean?

At its heart the Catholic Church is a product of God's initiative: It is a dimension of our relationship with the God, whom we come to know through Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. By exploring the theology of the church and the faith that it evokes, you will encounter the challenge and possibility of living faith in the church today.

Under the guidance of leading theologian Fr. Richard Lennan, you will explore the impact of Vatican II and how it shaped our understanding of the church. Through exploring the ideas of such noted theologians as Yves Congar and Walter Kasper, you will gain new insights into the theology of the church.

As you look at the role of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit in the church, you will understand that God's presence in the church embodies constant call, challenge, and guidance. The church, then, is not simply an institution but the very essence of the Catholic faith. In analyzing the relationship between the church and the wider world, you will explore the possibilities that God enables and his universal call for us to share in the life of the church.

Publisher's Summary:

This audiobook of prayers and affirmations by the best-selling author of The Artist's Way, Julia Cameron, is full of inspiration and encouragement.

All too often we yearn for a more spiritual life but tell ourselves it's too difficult. But the smallest prayer is heard and answered. The simplest overture meets with a loving response. Each of the prayers in this audiobook is a starting point. Taken collectively, they offer an approach to God that is powerful as well as simple. These prayers not only allow us to reach out to God, but they allow God to reach out to us.

The audiobook is called Life Lessons because each entry is a corrective to commonly held misconceptions of the divine. Like the postures assumed in hatha yoga, they stretch us gently. Through these prayers, we learn more of ourselves and the divine.

Title: Wisdom Literature of the Bible

Author: Fr. Michael D. Guinan OFM PhD

Narrator: Fr. Michael D. Guinan OFM PhD

Format: Original Recording

Length: 9 hrs and 29 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-11-17

Publisher: Now You Know Media Inc.

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

Did you realize that such enduring expressions as "the patience of Job" and "nothing new under the sun" derive from the wisdom literature of the Bible? Now you can explore the wisdom of such extraordinary books of the Bible as Proverbs, Job, Song of Songs, Psalms, Ecclesiastes, Sirach, and Wisdom of Solomon with top Scripture scholar and master teacher Fr. Michael Guinan, OFM, as your guide.

You will learn the biblical meaning of "wisdom" as Fr. Guinan unlocks the riches contained in these too-often-neglected books. Listen as Fr. Guinan discusses the vexing moral and theological questions raised by these books. Does Proverbs offer a unified theological vision? What does Job show us about the suffering of the innocent? Should we read Song of Songs as a mystical meditation on God and Israel, Jesus and the church or soul, a healthy view of human sexuality, or all of these interpretations? What should we make of the seemingly negative outlook in Ecclesiates?

Wisdom is also important in the New Testament. Jesus himself taught as a wisdom teacher, and when the early Christians came to think and talk about who Jesus was, some of them drew on the rich background of Old Testament wisdom. What are some of the implications of this for our own lives?

Narrator: Fr. Richard J. Clifford SJ PhD

Format: Original Recording

Length: 10 hrs and 1 min

Language: English

Release date: 07-28-17

Publisher: Now You Know Media Inc.

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

To understand Christianity, you must appreciate the Old Testament. Now, you can explore the Bible with one of the leading Old Testament scholars in the country.

Although the New Testament is more familiar to most Christians, the Old Testament contains a wealth of wisdom, spiritual insights, and timeless stories. In this expansive course, you will journey through the Garden of Eden, the reigns of King David and King Solomon, beautiful poetry, the wisdom of the prophets, and much more. Your guide for this journey is Fr. Richard Clifford, SJ, a renowned and widely published scriptural scholar.

The Old Testament can sometimes prove challenging to modern listeners. With Fr. Clifford as your guide, you will understand the fascinating historical and societal milieu of the Old Testament. You will examine the biblical books in the order in which they appear in the Christian Bible, looking at the Pentateuch (or Torah), the historical books, the wisdom literature (Job, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Sirach, Wisdom, and Psalms), and the prophets.

You will come to see how the Old Testament prefigures and lends meaning to the New Testament. Along the way you will examine and appreciate the content of each book, looking at its relation to other biblical books and how it has been read throughout history.

This is more than a Bible study: It is a profound program that will lead you to discover valuable insights into your own life and faith.

Critic Reviews:

"Clifford has a remarkable ability to simplify complex texts, to address readers directly, and to convince them that ancient literature is worth their attention." (James L. Crenshaw, professor of Old Testament at Duke University)

Title: Street Smarts from Proverbs

Subtitle: How to Navigate Through Conflict to Community

Author: Mitch Kruse, D. J. Williams

Narrator: Joe Knezevich

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 52 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-27-17

Publisher: Hachette Audio

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 8 votes

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

Street Smarts from Proverbs reveals Solomon's steps to divine wisdom while providing tools to navigate out of conflict into community.

Mitch Kruse learned the hard way that going to church three times a week while growing up did not answer the question:

Have you ever thought about changing the scorecard of your life from money to wisdom?

His pursuit to find the answer sparked a lifelong journey through the ultimate wisdom book, Proverbs, one that connects God's heart with street smarts.

Street Smarts from Proverbs introduces Solomon's 12 words to the wise:

Each is paired with a real-life story of someone who experienced God's miraculous restoration after humbling their heart to him. It explains, illustrates, and applies one of the 12 words, providing an easy-to-understand yet life-transforming step-by-step process to assimilate each respective trait of wisdom.

Street Smarts from Proverbs gives memorable prompts for the listener to recall every point with the purpose of applying it to conflict at work, with family, among friends, and in ministry. It provides tangible tools to be shrewd yet harmless in business dealings, to separate wisdom from foolishness through discretion, and to seek wise counsel for life's decisions.

Members Reviews:

This is a rare opportunity

It's a rare opportunity to read or listen to a book with so many points I can identify with. Not only did Mitch study Proverbs but he's lived it and in full color. It's very rare that I read a person especially a pastor, as an open book. Mitch really opens himself up and discusses his short comings in a way that all can identify with. You will laugh and you will cry but most of all you will learn. What a refreshing read.

TRUE WISDOM LIVED OUT IN REAL LIFE

I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS BOOK ALL MY LIFE, I AM SO THANKFUL TO HAVE FOUND SUCH A PRACTICAL AND REAL LIFE APPLICATION OF GODS WISDOM WORTHY OF MY TIME AND MONEY.

HOORAY FOR HIM FOLLOWING GODS LEADING FOR HIS LIFE, THE PROOF IS IN THE PUDDING!!

Title: How to Survive the Apocalypse

Subtitle: Zombies, Cylons, Faith, and Politics at the End of the World

Author: Alissa Wilkinson, Robert Joustra

Narrator: Gabrielle de Cuir

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 43 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-08-17

Publisher: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 17 votes

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

The world is going to hell. So begins this book, pointing to the prevalence of apocalypse - cataclysmic destruction and nightmarish end-of-the-world scenarios - in contemporary entertainment.

In How to Survive the Apocalypse, Robert Joustra and Alissa Wilkinson examine a number of popular stories - from the Cylons in Battlestar Galactica to the purging of innocence in Game of Thrones to the hordes of zombies in The Walking Dead - and argue that such apocalyptic stories reveal a lot about us here and now, about how we conceive of our life together, including some of our deepest tensions and anxieties.

Besides analyzing the dystopian shift in popular culture, Joustra and Wilkinson also suggest how Christians can live faithfully and with integrity in such a cultural context.

Members Reviews:

Media teaches us about what it means human

After my recent Great Course exploration of modern Philosophy I decided to pick up How to Survive the Apocalypse: Zombies, Faith and Politics at the End of the World.

I also subscribe to an online magazine, Christ and Pop culture, Alissa Wilkinson used to write for. (She is now a writer for Vox and a professor at King's College in NYC after having been the main film reviewer for Christianity Today.) The title may not really describe it well, but this a perfect example of why the magazine Christ and Pop Culture exists.

Christianity can sometimes ignore the importance of stories, in spite of the fact that Jesus (and the bible) seem to have primarily taught through stories. The Great Courses lecture on modern philosophy was occationally hard to track because it did not ground the philosophy enough in experiential examples so that the listener could understand why a particular philosophical idea mattered.

Wilkinson and her co-writer Robert Joustra have grounded their discussion of philosophy in the recent TV and movie obsession with the apocalypse and dystopian stories. Long explorations of Battlestar Galactica, the Walking Dead, Mad Men, Breaking Bad and a number of other shows give context to philosophy so that the reader can understand not only the philosophy being explored but also can understand how good media criticism can give insights into the stories in a way that isnt possible with just casual watching.

While there is far more than just Charles Taylors philosophy explored here, it was the Charles Taylor that I was most interested in. I have read James KA Smiths How (Not) to Be Secular, which is also an exploration of Charles Taylor. I think both books are helpful and there is surprisingly little overlap in content because they come at Taylors work in such different ways.

There is no way to really fully describe How to Survive the Apocalypse because it is a very wide ranging book. But I do want to note that you dont have to have watched all the movies or TV shows to get something out of the book. I was reluctant to pick it up because other than Battlestar Galactica and reading the first four books of Game of Thrones, I have not seen hardly any of the TV shows or movies being discussed. But I had a basic idea of the story of most of them. And there is enough background in the discussion to keep me engaged even if I have not seen what is being discussed.

This is a book that I need to read again.

Title: Consenting to God as God Is

Author: Thomas Keating

Narrator: Dan Carroll

Format: Unabridged

Length: 3 hrs and 45 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-16-17

Publisher: Lantern Books

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 3 votes

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

Between January 2007 and April 2009, Trappist monk Fr. Thomas Keating met in Miami for several days each year with members of the council for Extensión Contemplativa Internacional - the Spanish and Portuguese branch of Contemplative Outreach, the organization he helped established three decades ago to promote the revival of the Christian mystical tradition. Consenting to God as God Is collects the intimate talks and daily presentations on various aspects of the spiritual journey. The book's title describes the most fundamental exercise of Christian faith. This exercise recognizes the illusory character of our past ideas of God and gives birth to a new understanding that leads to a deep conversion of heart. Along with centering prayer, we consent and surrender to God's presence and action within as our primary and often repeated intention in all our activities. Oriented toward people who have been practicing centering prayer for several years, Consenting to God as God Is is addressed primarily to those with some personal experience of the spiritual journey and especially to those engaged in some form of contemplative service.

Title: 3:16

Subtitle: The Numbers of Hope

Author: Max Lucado

Narrator: Wayne Shepherd

Format: Abridged

Length: 2 hrs and 19 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-11-17

Publisher: Thomas Nelson

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 4 votes

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

A 26-word parade of hope, beginning with God, ending with life, and urging us to do the same. Brief enough to write on a napkin or memorize in a moment, yet solid enough to weather 2,000 years of storms and questions. If you know nothing of the Bible, start here. If you know everything in the Bible, return here. We all need the reminder. The heart of the human problem is the heart of the human. And God's treatment is prescribed in John 3:16:

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son that whosoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

He loves. He gave. We believe. We live.
