Title: Messy Truth: How to Foster Community Without Sacrificing Conviction Author: Caleb Kaltenbach Narrator: Caleb Kaltenbach Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 10 minutes Release date: August 10, 2021 Genres: Christianity Publisher's Summary: From the author of Messy Grace, a former pastor raised by gay parents, comes a compassionate playbook to help Christians, church staff, and ministry leaders create a culture of belonging without sacrificing theological convictions.   What should we do? This is a question many Christians are asking as they face shifting societal norms, conflicting opinions, and often inaccurate scriptural interpretations regarding those who identify as LGBTQ+.   Caleb Kaltenbach believes there’s a more helpful question:What am I willing to do to keep and build influence with ?   Caleb knows our love for others is best measured by the lengths we’ll go to help them. He also recognizes that people find and follow Jesus better in community than in isolation. As a child raised by three activist gay parents, Caleb experienced firsthand the outrage of some Christians. That’s why he is committed to creating a sense of belonging for all people.   True community can happen only when Christians are intentional in infusing their attitudes, systems, and values with grace and truth. This hopeful, practical book offers tools for encouraging church involvement, strengthening personal relationships, increasing empathy, and engaging in pivotal conversations about grace and truth with our whole community.   Fostering a culture of belonging is a messy process, but it holds a massive possibility for everyone involved: a growing relationship with Jesus.

Title: From Christ to Christianity: How the Jesus Movement Became the Church in Less Than a Century Author: James R. Edwards Narrator: George W. Sarris Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 45 minutes Release date: July 6, 2021 Genres: Christianity Publisher's Summary: How did the movement founded by Jesus transform more in the first seventy-five years after his death than it has in the two thousand years since? This book tells the story of how the Christian movement, which began as relatively informal, rural, Hebrew and Aramaic speaking, and closely anchored to the Jewish synagogue, became primarily urban, Greek speaking, and gentile by the early second century, spreading through the Greco-Roman world with a mission agenda and church organization distinct from its roots in Jewish Galilee. It also shows how the early church's witness can encourage the church today.
