Title: The Born Royal: Overcoming Insecurity to Become the Woman God Says You Are Author: Oneka Mcclellan Narrator: Oneka Mcclellan Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 12 minutes Release date: July 23, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Christianity Publisher's Summary: A revolution for women to live confidently in their God-given identity and united in the call to bring goodness to the world, adapted from Born of a Woman, from speaker and pastor of the influential Shoreline City Church. “In these pages, you will experience the beauty of a friend who says, ‘Royal sister, take a seat. We have been waiting for you!’”—Charlotte Gambill, pastor, author, and global Bible teacher We know women are meant to bring powerful and lasting goodness into the world because God repeatedly called women to do so: He trusted Mary to give birth to Jesus, Esther to save His people, and Deborah to lead His kingdom. Yet so much of our potential is limited by our own insecurity and fear. It’s time for us to stand confident in our stunning worth as royal daughters, unite in community, and walk in the unshakable hope of Christ.  In a message that’s both vibrant and conversational, Pastor Oneka McClellan reminds us that God has uniquely positioned and gifted women to be a source of life, wisdom, and strength. Through insightful biblical truths and real stories of women showing up in powerful ways, McClellan equips you to • completely trust your God-given identity • lead with courage and wisdom in any room  • fight for the flourishing of others • celebrate the greatness in every woman • see with eyes of hope that God can redeem any story To every woman who’s ever felt held back, pushed down, or disqualified from stepping fully into her purpose, McClellan’s Born Royal offers hope, encouragement, and empowerment. It also sounds a liberating call for each and every one of us—including you—to walk boldly and precisely as the women God has created us to be.

Unlike a traditional audiobook's direct narration of a book's text, Church History in Plain Language Audio Lectures include high quality live-recordings of college-level lectures that cover the important points from each subject as well as relevant material from other sources. This is the story of the church for today. This series, based on Bruce Shelley's classic history of the church, brings the story of global Christianity into the twenty-first century. Taught by experts in the field of Christian history, each lesson tells a story of actual people, in a particular situation, taking action or being acted upon, and provides a window into the circumstances and historical context of a major period or theme of Christian history. Church History in Plain Language Audio Lectures takes a closer look at the rapid growth of evangelical and Pentecostal Christianity in the southern hemisphere, addresses the decline in traditional mainline denominations, examines the influence of technology on the spread of the gospel, and discusses how Christianity intersects with other religions in countries all over the world. Lessons add important stories of the development of Christianity in Asia, India, and Africa, both in the early church as well as in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. It also highlights the stories of women and non-Europeans who significantly influenced the development of Christianity but whose contributions are often overlooked in previous overviews of church history.

Si miras a los hombres y mujeres en las Escrituras, los que vivieron y terminaron bien tienen una cosa en común: están marcados por el temor santo.

Title: [Spanish] - No mires atrás: Liberarse y avanzar con pasión y propósito Author: Christine Caine Narrator: Montse Castro Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 25 minutes Release date: April 2, 2024 Genres: Christianity Publisher's Summary: Con un grito de “Recuerden a la mujer de Lot”, la profesora de Biblia, conferenciante internacional, activista y autora de best sellers Christine Caine nos motiva a dejar de mirar atrás, a desatascarnos y a seguir avanzando hacia las promesas y el propósito de Dios para nuestras vidas. Hay momentos en la vida en los que miramos hacia atrás y nos sentimos desesperados por hacer que el tiempo se detenga, sobre todo cuando nos sorprenden cambios inesperados. Pero no podemos detener el flujo de la vida, y no podemos detener el tiempo. Es más, mirar atrás no nos permite volver. La mayoría de las veces, solo hace que nos quedemos atascados. En un lugar, en un espacio, en un recuerdo, en una mentalidad, en un hábito. En Juan 17:32, Jesús entrega tres palabras “Recuerda a la mujer de Lot”, No sabemos su nombre ni su historia. Todo lo que sabemos es que cuando ella estaba huyendo de Sodoma y Gomorra, le dijeron que no mirara hacia atrás, e hizo lo único que se le pidió que no hiciera. Miró hacia atrás y se convirtió en una estatua de sal y de las 170 mujeres mencionadas en las Escrituras, ella es la única que Jesús nos dijo que recordáramos. En No mires atrás, Christine te motivará a: - dejar de mirar hacia atrás y empezar a mirar a Jesús - invitar a Jesús a entrar para que te ayude a desatascarte de los muchos lugares en los que a menudo nos encontramos; - avanzar desde donde te encuentras hacia todos los planes, propósitos y promesas de Dios para tu vida; y - mirar hacia el futuro y seguir avanzando hacia él con fe, especialmente cuando tu mundo ya no se parece en nada a lo que era antes. Jesús nos invita a avanzar hacia la novedad de lo que está por venir. Deja de descalificarte quedándote atorado en el pasado. Es hora de recordar a la mujer de Lot y no mirar atrás, sino avanzar con valentía. Don’t Look Back With a rallying cry to “Remember Lot's wife,” Bible teacher, international speaker, activist, and bestselling author Christine Caine motivates us to stop looking back, to get unstuck and to keep moving forward into God's promises and purpose for our lives. There are times in life when we look back and feel desperate to make time stand still, particularly when we get blindsided by unexpected changes. But we can't stop the flow of life, and we can't stop time. What's more, looking back doesn't enable us to go back. More often than not, it just makes us stuck. In a place. In a space. In a memory. In a mindset. In a habit. In John 17:32, Jesus drops three little words: “Remember Lot's wife.” We don’t know her name, history, or story. All we know is that when she was fleeing Sodom and Gomorrah, she was told not to look back, and she did the one thing she was asked not to do. She looked back and turned into a pillar of salt. And out of the 170 women referred to in the Scriptures, she's the only one Jesus told us to remember. In this new book, Christine will motivate you to - stop looking back and start looking to Jesus; - invite Jesus in to help you get unstuck from the many places we often find ourselves; - move on from where you are into all God's plans, purposes, and promises for your life; and - look forward to the future and keep moving toward it in faith--especially when your world is nothing like it once was. Jesus is beckoning us onward into the newness of what lies ahead. Stop disqualifying yourself by getting stuck in the past. It's time to remember Lot's wife and not look back but move forward boldly.

Title: [Spanish] - Crianza bíblica: Cultivando hijos que den fruto Author: Héctor Salcedo Narrator: Hector Velasco Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 28 minutes Release date: March 12, 2024 Genres: Christianity Publisher's Summary: En Crianza bíblica, Héctor Salcedo nos demuestra que la clave para enseñar, disciplinar y cultivar a nuestros hijos es poner el énfasis no solamente en lo que debemos hacer como padres sino en quienes debemos ser, con la ayuda de la Palabra de Dios. Como padres, intentamos sembrar la Palabra de Dios o “semilla” en nuestros hijos, pero antes de plantar, nos falta un paso muy importante. La crianza bíblica requiere que los padres procuren crear en el corazón de sus hijos una actitud receptiva y enseñable antes de sembrar. Crianza bíblica, es un estudio bíblico y una guía práctica para la “preparación del terreno” donde los padres van luego a “sembrar la disciplina e instrucción del Señor”. Según el autor, la crianza se compone de los siguientes elementos que se encuentran en Efesios 6:4, cada uno de los cuales debe desarrollarse adecuadamente: - “Padres” = Presencia - “No provoquen a ira...” = Terreno fértil - “Críenlos” = Devoción - “Disciplina” = Entrenamiento - “Instrucción” = Advertir o amonestar - “Del Señor” = Palabra de Dios Este material, aunque su objetivo es la crianza, trabaja mucho con los padres, pues asume que si los padres no son lo que deben ser entonces su crianza tampoco será todo lo que Dios desea. Deutoronomio 6:6 nos dice: “Estas palabras que yo te mando hoy, estarán en tu corazón…”. Es decir, antes de enseñar a nuestros hijos, debemos haber sido enseñados nosotros. Si los padres no somos discípulos fieles de la Palabra, es poco probable que seamos capaces de transmitir la verdad de Dios a la próxima generación. Biblical Parenthood In Biblical Parenthood, Hector Salcedo shows us that the key to teaching, disciplining, and nurturing our children is to focus not only what we should do as parents but what we should be, with the help of God’s Word. As parents, we try to sow God's Word or plant the 'seed' in our children, often miss an important step. Biblical parenting requires that parents seek to create in their children's hearts a receptive, teachable attitude before sowing. Biblical Parenthood is a Bible study and practical guide for 'preparing the ground' where parents will then 'sow the discipline and instruction of the Lord.'  According to the author, parenting is composed of the following elements found in Ephesians 6:4, each of which must be properly developed: - 'Fathers' = Presence. - 'Provoke them not to wrath...' = Fertile ground. - 'Nurture them' = Devotion - 'Discipline' = Training - 'Instruction' = Warn or admonish. - 'From the Lord' = Word of God Although this book is meant to help us raise our children, it focuses on parents, for it assumes that if parents are not what they should be, then their child-rearing will not be all that God intended either.  Deuteronomy 6:6 tells us, “These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts…' That is, before we teach our children, we must have been taught ourselves. If we, as parents, are not faithful disciples of the Word, it is unlikely that we will be able to pass on God's truths to the next generation.

Title: The Party Crasher: How Jesus Disrupts Politics as Usual and Redeems Our Partisan Divide Author: Joshua Ryan Butler Narrator: Joshua Ryan Butler Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 51 minutes Release date: March 5, 2024 Genres: Christianity Publisher's Summary: In this insightful, nonpartisan roadmap toward faithful political engagement and ultimate allegiance to Jesus, pastor Joshua Ryan Butler diagnoses the roots of political conflict tearing apart the church and prescribes a practical and prophetic way forward. “A must-read for any and all who seek the way of Jesus.”—Jay Kim, pastor and author of Analog Christian Have you noticed a deeper level of political division in your community or church? If so, you’re not alone. This powerful, accessible book exposes the religious nature of modern political movements and how they compete with faithfulness to Christ. Rather than retreat from the political realm, The Party Crasher will help you understand the politics of our age and equip you with the wisdom to faithfully navigate them. Key takeaways include: • How to develop a Christian posture for political life and promote unity in the church. • When to be bold. • How to identify and repent from our political idols. • How the way we worship can help us avoid division. This is not a book about putting politics aside, it’s a book about putting politics in their place so that we might be better disciples of Jesus in whichever party or place we find ourselves.

Title: Loving Samaritans: Radical Kindness in an Us vs. Them World Author: Terry Crist Narrator: Terry Crist Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 0 minutes Release date: January 30, 2024 Genres: Christianity Publisher's Summary: Read by the author. You can live a radically inclusive life without compromising your beliefs or the truth of the gospel. Humanity is more divided now than ever, gridlocked over social issues, race, gender, climate change, immigration, and our responsibility to vulnerable people. How did we get here? And what can we do to build bridges where walls exist? As a pastor committed to building deep relationships with people whose life experiences are different than his own, Terry Crist knows the beauty and challenge of connecting across dividing lines of race, economic status, faith, and much more. And in this book, he shares how you can too. Profoundly weaving the story of Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well with his own stories and examples from culture today, Terry addresses how we've strayed from the unity God intended and how we can trade judgment for grace, disputes for harmony, apathy for empathy, and hate for love and acceptance. By the end of this book, you will be able to: - Identify how you personally see the world and why it matters - Recognize those on the margins who are right around you - Imitate Jesus's love for all humanity in the interactions you have with others - Extend dignity to those suffering from mental illness, homelessness, and addiction - Maintain thriving relationships when family members are on opposing sides of issues - Be an ambassador of reconciliation in your community   It doesn't have to be one or the other--you can both love God and love your neighbor.

Renn Narrator: Tim Lundeen Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 47 minutes Release date: January 30, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Narrator: 4 of Total 1 Genres: Christianity Publisher's Summary: Learning how to live in today's new social and cultural environment will require examination, trial and error, and adaptation over time. But there are ways to live with integrity and follow Christ today, even in a negative world. From a peak in church attendance in the mid-20th century, Christianity has been on a trajectory of decline in the United States. Once positive toward Christianity and Christian moral teachings, cultural shifts toward the mid-90s led many to adopt a more neutral tone toward the Christian faith, seeing it as one option among many in a pluralistic public square. Today, however, Christianity is viewed negatively, and being known as a Christian often means a lower social status in elite society. Christian morality is openly repudiated and viewed as a threat to the new moral order. In Life in the Negative World, author Aaron M. Renn looks at the lessons from Christian cultural engagement over the past 70 years and suggests specific strategies for churches, institutions, and individuals to live faithfully in the 'negative' world—a culture opposed to Christian values and teachings. And since there is no one-size-fits-all solution, living as a follower of Christ in the new, negative world and being missionally engaged will require a diversity of strategies.

Title: New Marriage, Same Couple: Don't Let Your Worst Days Be Your Last Days Author: Josh Walters, Katie Walters Narrator: Katie Walters, Josh Walters Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 37 minutes Release date: January 9, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Christianity Publisher's Summary: Read by the authors. 'For better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health.' We say those words and mean them. Until we don't. This is a book about creating a different, better, new kind of marriage with the exact same person—no matter how dire the circumstances—with vision, commitment, and hope in the Lord. Remember those early days of love? When your heart felt all fluttery, and you saw your person through rose-colored glasses? They could do no wrong. You were going to have the most beautiful life with big adventures and lots of sex. Of course, everyone says marriage is work, you knew that. But that was okay; you could get through anything together. It was going to be great. Until it wasn't. Something happened. Or maybe nothing happened. Maybe it was one big something, or a lot of little somethings over many years that landed you in a marriage you hardly recognize. For Josh and Katie Walters, it was a big something: infidelity. Now they counsel couples who find themselves exactly where they were: lost, hopeless, and unsure of how to fix their marriage. This book lays out the principles Josh and Katie learned in that season when God healed and restored their marriage. This process is broken into four parts and is an acronym for the word STAY: - S—start with you. (Discovering that when one person changes, the entire relationship changes.) - T—take quitting off the table. (Bringing your whole self to the solution and not checking out mentally and emotionally.) - A—allow others to be a part of your journey. (Trusting the right people, in the right ways, at the right time.) - Y—yield to vision. (Looking past what is and imagining what could be.)   New Marriage, Same Couple is a book about hope. It's about how to create a brand-new marriage with your spouse, whether you've been married for a short time, or for decades.

Hearing God's voice is one of the greatest gifts we've been given, but it can also feel complex and frustrating. As a teenager, Havilah Cunnington didn't think she could hear God's voice, thinking it was like trying to tune into a radio station and never finding the correct frequency.

Now an author, speaker, pastor, and founder of the well-known ministry Truth to Table, Havilah teaches people around the world to recognize the unique way God is speaking to them.

Title: Loyal to a Fault: How to Establish New Patterns When Loving Others Has Left You Hurting Author: Courtney J. Burg Narrator: Courtney J. Burg Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 51 minutes Release date: December 12, 2023 Genres: Christianity Publisher's Summary: Read by the author. Do you find yourself living as the people pleaser or peacekeeper? Do you avoid conflict? Learn how to overcome your fears about setting boundaries and step into a life that's overflowing with love, respect, and healthy relationships. We are people who love patterns, even if returning to these patterns continues to hurt us or those we love. Some of the most harmful patterns of behavior are passed down through generations and inherited, often without our permission or awareness. The conflict arises when these behaviors are so deeply woven into early family systems that they later become part of our identities, clashing with who God has created and called us to be. As a child, Courtney Burg quickly learned that remaining loyal to others meant keeping secrets, even if these secrets were keeping those she cared for most sick. Her efforts to sustain the peace followed her into adulthood and slowly left her depleted, discouraged, and drowning in the chaos—until Courtney discovered that not only did God grant her permission to engage in relationships differently, but that he gave her specific instruction on how to do so.  In Loyal to a Fault, Courtney Burg unpacks the various ways we cope with, enable, and participate in unhealthy relationships or generational trauma. Using personal examples and providing practical wisdom, Courtney helps you break free from codependent patterns by: - Identifying the role you are playing in keeping the dysfunctional patterns going. - Reframing what it means to love and remain loyal to those who matter most. - Reminding you that boundary work is a biblical practice.   It is possible to learn how to love others well without losing yourself along the way. People pleasing, complaining, and exhaustion may be today's norm, but at any moment you can choose to do things differently. Begin setting boundaries and start enjoying relationships in all the ways God designed you to. Reflection questions and charts can be found in the audiobook companion PDF download.

Title: The Great Disappearance: 31 Ways to be Rapture Ready Author: David Jeremiah Narrator: Larry Wayne, David Jeremiah Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 3 minutes Release date: December 12, 2023 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.69 of Total 26 Ratings of Narrator: 3.67 of Total 3 Genres: Christianity Publisher's Summary: Introduction read by the author. An Instant Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and Publishers Weekly Bestseller The rapture is the central event in biblical prophecy. But what does it mean for us today? How can this crucial end times event draw us nearer to God in a world that is seemingly on the brink of chaos? Political turmoil, economic uncertainty, an ideological divide that feels increasingly impassable—the signs of the times point us toward the end, and that can be disconcerting. But the greatest truth about the rapture is not its timing, but its reality—for blessed are all who long for His appearing. The Great Disappearance is a culmination of decades of Dr. Jeremiah studying end times throughout the Bible. In this definitive volume he will explain the meaning of the word rapture, the difference between the rapture and the second coming, and the joy of expecting our Savior to come at any given moment. Dr. Jeremiah will also explore key questions such as: - Who will be raptured? - When will it happen? - What will happen to those left behind? - What will believers experience when they are taken away to heaven? - Will non-believers still have time to repent and be saved?   Dr. Jeremiah seeks to answer all of those questions and many more, not with sensationalism or stories ripped from the headlines but with solid, biblical truth. Because God has laid out His plan for us in His Word so that we might not be caught unaware. We may not know the exact date that the rapture will happen, but we do know it will happen. Are you ready for it? Accompanying charts are included in the audiobook companion PDF download.

Title: Cultural Christians in the Early Church: A Historical and Practical Introduction to Christians in the Greco-Roman World Author: Nadya Williams Narrator: Marni Penning Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 53 minutes Release date: November 14, 2023 Genres: Christianity Publisher's Summary: In the middle of the third century CE, one North African bishop wrote a treatise for the women of his church, exhorting them to resist such culturally normalized yet immodest behaviors in their cosmopolitan Roman city as mixed public bathing in the nude, and wearing excessive amounts of jewelry and makeup. The treatise appears even more striking, once we realize that the scandalous virgins to whom it was addressed were single women who had dedicated their virginity to Christ. Stories like this one challenge the general assumption among Christians today that the earliest Christians were zealous converts who were much more counterculturally devoted to their faith than typical church-goers today. Too often Christians today think of cultural Christianity as a modern concept, and one most likely to occur in areas where Christianity is the majority culture, such as the American 'Bible Belt.' The story that this book presents, refutes both of these assumptions. Cultural Christians in the Early Church, which aims to be both historical and practical, argues that cultural Christians were the rule, rather than the exception, in the early church. Using different categories of sins as its organizing principle, the book considers the challenge of culture to the earliest converts to Christianity, as they struggled to live on mission in the Greco-Roman cultural milieu of the Roman Empire. These believers blurred and pushed the boundaries of what it meant to be a saint or sinner from the first to the fifth centuries CE, and their stories provide the opportunity to get to know the regular people in the early churches. At the same time, their stories provide a fresh perspective for considering the difficult timeless questions that stubbornly persist in our own world and churches: when is it a sin to eat or not eat a particular food? Are women inherently more sinful than men? And why is Christian nationalism a problem and, at times, a sin? Ultimately, recognizing that cultural sins were always a part of the story of the church and its people is a message that is both a source of comfort and a call to action in our pursuit of sanctification today.
