The Next Pope: The Office of Peter and a Church in Mission , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 204min
The Catholic Church is on the verge of a transition of great consequence.As Catholic theologian, historian, and papal biographer George Weigel notes, the next pope will probably have been a teenager or a very young man during the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965); he may even have been a child during those years. Thus the next pope will not have been shaped by the experience of the Council and the immediate debates over its meaning and reception like Pope John Paul II, Pope Benedict XVI, and Pope Francis. The next pope, Weigel writes, "will be a transitional figure in a different way than his immediate predecessors. So it seems appropriate to ponder now what the Church has learned during the pontificates of these three conciliar popes - and to suggest what the next pope might take from that learning."Drawing on his personal discussions with John Paul II, Benedict XVI, and Francis, as well as his decades of experience with Catholics from every continent, George Weigel examines the major challenges confronting the Catholic Church and its 1.3 billion believers in the twenty-first century: challenges the next pontificate must address as the Church enters new, uncharted territory. To what is the Holy Spirit calling this Church-in-transition? What are the qualities needed in the man who will lead the Church from the Chair of Saint Peter?Taking lessons from the pontificates of John Paul II, Benedict XVI, and Francis, George Weigel proposes what the Catholic leaders of the future, especially the next pope, must do to remain faithful to the Holy Spirit’s summons to renewed evangelical witness, intensified missionary fervor, and Christ-centered reform in the wake of grave institutional failures, mission confusion, counter-witness, and the secularist challenge to biblical faith. ungekürzt.

Racing Toward Armageddon: The Three Great Religions and a Plot to End the World , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 495min
Will current generations live to see Armageddon? Are there really sinister forces at work, encouraging its imminent arrival? If so, who exactly are they? In his latest investigative book, Michael Baigent takes us to the assembly hall of the UN, the boardrooms of major businesses and powerful lobbying groups, the cabinet meetings of world leaders, the ranches of cattle breeders, the churches of the faithful, and the narrow winding streets of modern Jerusalem, revealing to us the many diverse, public, and clandestine figures behind a perilous messianic agenda. By unveiling truly bizarre alliances, revisiting centuries-old ghostly events still haunting the birthplaces of religion, unraveling complex threads of history to discern the difference between myth and prophecy, and providing a thorough explication of the religious texts underlying all of this madness in the context of the times in which they were written, Baigent presents a very different view of the past, present, and future than that perpetuated by many loose interpretations of scripture. What are faith force multipliers? Which members of the U.S. military top brass have fought to employ them? Which world leader belongs to a secret messianic society called the Hojjatieh? What is the Chalcedon Foundation? And what is the correlation between its tenets, those of sharia law, and the fulfillment of end-time prophecies? The answers to these questions and others will intrigue, mystify, and enrage you, whether you're a person of faith or a staunch secularist. But the author's goal is not simply to shock the reader - it is to help diffuse the time bomb that has been set by the hard-liners of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. In the end, Baigent asks these questions to deliver an urgent message: that spiritual yearning is actually a deep and personal issue of awareness, one that can bring hope and tolerance to the world, rather than the self-superiority and control that are born of fe ungekürzt.

God Doesn't Make Mistakes: Confessions of a Transgender Christian , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 529min
What do you do if you are an evangelical Christian, politically conservative, and transgender?Evangelical Christians are often attacked by the left. People who are transgender are often attacked by the right. It's human nature to align with those who share our worldview and dismiss those who don't.There is a struggle going on in our culture that produces more victims than champions - we all seem to agree on that. The growing divide between the political, ideological left vs. right and religious vs. secularist is so sharp that even attempting to bridge the gap is a perilous endeavor.But what happens to the people who are scorned by both sides? Shut out by the left for their conservative views. Rejected by Christians for being transgender.Meet Laurie Suzanne Scott. She is, indeed, both an evangelical Christian and transgender. Raised in a devoutly Christian home, she endured the unbelievably difficult and complicated odyssey of finding her identity as a woman...without losing her identity in Christ. A journey she barely survived.In God Doesn't Make Mistakes: Confessions of a Transgender Christian, Laurie tells her story of growing up playing a role as unnatural to her as the body with which she was born. She was a living, breathing dichotomy...and there was no one who could understand. She had no choice but to keep up the pretense and keep it a secret.She became a good son. A good Christian. And eventually, even a good husband. She knew if her true identity became known, she would lose everything. Everything. So she kept her secret from everyone. But she knew there was no keeping it from God.Raised with a doctrine she believed condemned her, she decided the only way out of her constant misery was to end her life."Who would even want to stop me?" "Wouldn't it be easier for everyone this way?" It was at that desperate crossroad she heard the voice of God simply say, "You're okay."Since that ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jodi Stapler.
