Title: The Great Good Thing: A Secular Jew Comes to Faith in Christ Author: Andrew Klavan Narrator: Andrew Klavan Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 0 minutes Release date: September 20, 2016 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.89 of Total 9 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 4 Genres: Christianity Publisher's Summary: No one was more surprised than Andrew Klavan when, at the age of fifty, he found himself about to be baptized. The Great Good Thing tells the soul-searching story of a man born into an age of disbelief who had to abandon everything he thought he knew in order to find his way to the truth. Best known for his hard-boiled, white-knuckle thrillers and for the movies made from them--among them True Crime and Don’t Say a Word--bestselling author and Edgar Award-winner Klavan was born in a suburban Jewish enclave outside New York City. He left the faith of his childhood behind to live most of his life as an agnostic until he found himself mulling over the hard questions that so many other believers have asked: - How can I be certain in my faith? - What's the truth, and how can I know it's the truth? - How can you think, live, and make choices and judgments day by day if you don't know for sure? In The Great Good Thing, Klavan shares that his troubled childhood caused him to live inside the stories in his head and grow up to become an alienated young writer whose disconnection and rage devolved into depression and suicidal breakdown. In those years, Klavan fought to ignore the insistent call of God, a call glimpsed in a childhood Christmas at the home of a beloved babysitter, in a transcendent moment at his daughter's birth, and in a snippet of a baseball game broadcast that moved him from the brink of suicide. But more than anything, the call of God existed in stories--the stories Klavan loved to read and the stories he loved to write. Join Klavan as he discovers the meaning of belief, the importance of asking tough questions, and the power of sharing your story.

Title: Chase the Lion: If Your Dream Doesn't Scare You, It's Too Small Author: Mark Batterson Narrator: Mark Batterson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 19 minutes Release date: September 6, 2016 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.43 of Total 53 Ratings of Narrator: 4.5 of Total 8 Genres: Christianity Publisher's Summary: Over 100,000 copies sold! Quit playing it safe and start running toward the roar!  When the image of a man-eating beast travels through the optic nerve and into the visual cortex, the brain sends the body a simple but urgent message: run away! That’s what normal people do, but not lion chasers. Rather than seeing a five-hundred-pound problem, they see an opportunity for God to show up and show His power.   Chase the Lion is more than a catch phrase; it’s a radically different approach to life. It’s only when we stop fearing failure that we can fully seize opportunity by the mane. With grit and gusto, New York Times best-selling author Mark Batterson delivers a bold message to everyone with a big dream. This is a wake-up call to stop living as if the purpose of life was to simply arrive safely at death. Our dreams should scare us. They should be so big that without God they would  be  impossible to achieve. Quit running away from what you’re afraid of.   Chase the lion!  Change the world! What is your five-hundred-pound dream? In this highly anticipated sequel to his best-selling In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day, Mark Batterson invites lion chasers everywhere to chase dreams so impossible that victory demands we face our fears, defy the odds, and hold tight to God. These are the kind of dreams that will make you a bigger person and the world a better place. Based upon 2 Samuel 23, Chase the Lion tells the true story of an ancient warrior named Benaiah who chased a lion into a pit on a snowy day—and then killed it. For most people, that situation wouldn’t just be a problem…it would be the last problem they ever faced. For Benaiah, it was an opportunity to step into his destiny. After defeating the lion, he landed his dream job as King David’s bodyguard and eventually became commander-in-chief of Israel’s army under King Solomon. Written in a way that both challenges and encourages, this revolutionary book will help unleash the faith and courage you need to identify, chase, and catch the five-hundred-pound dreams in your life.

Historical Theology: Audio Lectures: An Introduction to Christian Doctrine by Gregg Allison

Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/268865 [https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/268865] to listen full audiobooks. Title: Historical Theology: Audio Lectures: An Introduction to Christian Doctrine Series: Part of Zondervan Biblical and Theological Lectures Author: Gregg Allison Narrator: Gregg Allison Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 49 minutes Release date: August 30, 2016 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3 of Total 2 Ratings of Narrator: 4 of Total 2 Genres: Christianity Publisher's Summary: The Zondervan Biblical and Theological Lectures series provides a unique audio learning experience. Unlike a traditional audiobook's direct narration of a book's text, Historical Theology: Audio Lectures includes high quality live-recordings of college-level lectures that cover the important points from each subject as well as relevant material from other sources. Historical Theology: Audio Lectures presents the key pillars of the contemporary church and the development of those doctrines as they evolved from the history of Christian thought. Most historical theology texts follow Christian beliefs in a strict chronological manner with the classic theological loci scattered throughout various time periods, movements, and controversies—making for good history but confusing theology. This companion to the classic bestseller Systematic Theology is unique among historical theologies. Gregg Allison sets out the history of Christian doctrine according to a topical-chronological arrangement—one theological element at a time instead of committing to a discussion of theological thought according to its historical appearance alone. This method allows you to: - Contemplate one tenet of Christianity at a time, along with its formulation in the early church—through the Middle Ages, Reformation, and post-Reformation era, and into the modern period. - Become familiar with the primary source material of Christian history's most important contributors, such as Cyprian, Augustine, Aquinas, Luther, Calvin, Barth, and others. - Understand the development of evangelical doctrine with a focus on the centrality of the gospel. - Discern a sense of urgent need for greater doctrinal understanding in the whole church. Historical Theology: Audio Lectures is a superb resource for students and self-learners wanting to better understand how the church has come to believe what it believes today.

A Call to Mercy: Hearts to Love, Hands to Serve by Mother Teresa

Title: A Call to Mercy: Hearts to Love, Hands to Serve Author: Mother Teresa Narrator: Kimberly Farr, Mark Bramhall Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 47 minutes Release date: August 16, 2016 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Christianity Publisher's Summary: Published to coincide with Pope Francis's Year of Mercy and the Vatican's canonization of Mother Teresa, this new book of unpublished material by a humble yet remarkable woman of faith whose influence is felt as deeply today as it was when she was alive, offers Mother Teresa’s profound yet accessible wisdom on how we can show mercy and compassion in our day-to-day lives.   For millions of people from all walks of life, Mother Teresa's canonization is providentially taking place during Pope Francis's Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy. This is entirely fitting since she is seen both inside and outside of the Church as an icon of God's mercy to those in need.   Compiled and edited by Brian Kolodiejckuk, M.C., the postulator of Mother Teresa’s cause for sainthood, A Call to Mercy presents deep yet accessible wisdom on how we can show compassion in our everyday lives. In her own words, Mother Teresa discusses such topics as:         the need for us to visit the sick and the imprisoned         the importance of honoring the dead and informing the ignorant         the necessity to bear our burdens patiently and forgive willingly         the purpose to feed the poor and pray for all         the greatness of creating a “civilization of love” through personal service to others   Featuring never before published testimonials by people close to Mother Teresa as well as prayers and suggestions for putting these ideas into practice, A Call to Mercy is not only a lovely keepsake, but a living testament to the teachings of a saint whose ideas are important, relevant and very necessary in the 21st century.
