    Christian Love , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 791min
    Bernard Brady has given us a rare, delightful, and thought-provoking book - a volume that belongs on the desk or the bed-stand of anyone in search of the rich and varied dimensions of Christian love. Christians are taught that God is love and are commanded to love their neighbors and their enemies. These truths are not controversial. What is controversial and indeed has been controversial throughout the history of Christianity, is the meaning of this love. This book explores the tradition of Christian reflection on the meaning - and experience - of love, loving, and being loved. Many books have been written about Christian love, but no book has gathered together this kind of primary source material and covered such a wide range of perspectives, allowing the listener to engage directly with the thought and experience of some of the greatest Christian minds on the topic of love. Bernard Brady covers with remarkable clarity the breadth and depth of discussions on Christian love, from the Bible to contemporary experience, to create this - a survey of how Christians through the ages have understood love. The book is published by Georgetown University Press. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dan Kassis. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/062663/bk_acx0_062663_sample.mp3.

    The Gospel Marinated Life: Essential Marks for Daily Discipleship with Jesus , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 219min
    Experience the joy of daily discipleship with Jesus! According to Ryan J. Pelton, the path of happiness, joy, and freedom are found in answering the call of Jesus to "come and follow me". The Gospel Marinated Life is a wake-up call to a generation lacking clarity on relating to God. Pelton reveals there is no category for a "non-disciple" of Jesus. In fact, for the follower of Christ, daily discipleship with God is the essence of Christianity. In this book, you will explore eight essential marks of a true disciple from scripture. Pelton will open the door for implications of the gospel in all of life. These marks have life-altering ramifications for personal joy, relating to God, and service to the world. Pelton will challenge your faulty assumptions for a true disciple of Jesus. A person ravished by the ferocious mercy, love, and grace found in the gospel of Jesus Christ, will never be the same. The Gospel Marinated Life is not for the casual admirer of Jesus. It is for those who desire something more than formal and cold religion. It is for those who want to experience the power of God in their lives. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dan Kassis.

    John Huss: His Life, Teachings And Death , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 675min
    In the tumultuous and rapidly changing climate of the 15th century, John Huss of Bohemia made a greater impact on Europe and the Christian church than any other man. With his abstract view of the scriptures and his confrontational relationship with the Church, he shook the world in his day like no other.Follow along with historian David Schaff as he tells the gripping story of John Huss, who mounted the world scene at the height of the controversy between the Catholic Church and the ever-growing views of the English reformer and teacher, John Wycliffe. Huss was a man struggling to find righteousness, in doing so he also tried to lead others in the same truth which he had found. Standing true to his convictions even unto death, John Huss became one of the greatest influences on Martin Luther in his struggle to bring reform to the Roman Church. After stumbling upon Huss' writings, Luther said, "I was overwhelmed with astonishment. I could not understand for what cause they had burnt so great a man, who explained the scriptures with so much gravity and skill." Journey back in time and discover not only the theological but the personal side of John Huss and see what made him the greatest man in the 15th century. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Coffee: A Comprehensive Guide to the Bean, the Beverage, and the Industry , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1109min
    Coffee: A Comprehensive Guide to the Bean, the Beverage, and the Industry offers a definitive guide to the many rich dimensions of the bean and the beverage around the world. Leading experts from business and academia consider coffee's history, global spread, cultivation, preparation, marketing, and the environmental and social issues surrounding it today. They discuss, for example, the impact of globalization; the many definitions of organic, direct trade, and fair trade; the health of female farmers; the relationships among shade, birds, and coffee; roasting as an art and a science; and where profits are made in the commodity chain. Drawing on interviews and the lives of people working in the business-from pickers and roasters to coffee bar owners and consumers-this book brings a compelling human side to the story. The authors avoid romanticizing or demonizing any group in the business. They consider basic but widely misunderstood issues such as who adds value to the bean, the constraints of peasant life, and the impact of climate change. Moving beyond simple answers, they represent various participants in the supply chain and a range of opinions about problems and suggested solutions in the industry. Coffee offers a multidimensional examination of a deceptively everyday but extremely complex commodity that remains at the center of many millions of lives. Tracing coffee's journey from field to cup, this handbook to one of the world's favorite beverages is an essential guide for professionals, coffee lovers, and students alike. ungekürzt.

    Enhanced and expanded version as of July 1, 2017. This is book four of the series.

One of those people is Tamar, a young woman who was born on board and is growing up in the town of Media. Because of failures in past generations, both human and mechanical, most people born on board the Eschaton do not even know they are inside a colony ship. Technology has been lost, societies have crumbled, and dangers abound. People struggle just to survive. Tamar is gifted with machines, but that is not a blessing in the town where she lives. She has a frightful encounter in the night and is forced to flee everything she knows. She hunts for her freedom, and she hunts for answers to who she is. She runs away and encounters Michael and Jamie, two of the Dome 17 refugees who escaped the dying Earth and are trying to keep humanity alive in the Colony Ship Eschaton. Jamie and Michael are also hunting for answers about the old ship's systems, and are hunting for keys to unlock its secrets. But some things do not want to be found. Someone is also hunting for Tamar. And he is hunting for vengeance. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bev Kassis.

    Fifty Years in the Church of Rome , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1906min
    This is an excellent look at the religious system of the Catholic Church from the inside. Charles Chiniquy was born at Kamouraska, Quebec, Canada, to Roman Catholic parents. He studied at the college of Nicolet in Canada; after graduation he entered the priesthood (at an early age) and continued therein until he was an old man. At the age of 49 he left the Roman church, taking his congregation with him, and became a Presbyterian minister. His encounters with the inner workings of the Roman church are enlightening and could come only from someone who was embedded in such a system for so many years. He later published a number of books and tracts on temperance and about his life and experiences in the Catholic Church, some of which became very popular and were translated into several languages. In this book he covers such subjects as: The Bible and the priests of Rome Preparation for the First Communion - initiation to idolatry Intellectual education in the Roman Catholic Colleges Moral and religious instruction in the Roman Catholic Colleges Protestant children in the convents and nunneries of Rome Rome and education: why the church of Rome hates the common schools of the United States and wants to destroy them Theology of the church of Rome: its anti-Christian character The vow of celibacy The impurities of the theology of Rome The priest of Rome and the holy fathers How the author swore to give up the word of God to follow the word of men The Roman Catholic priesthood, or ancient and modern idolatry Nine consequences of the dogma of transubstantiation ungekürzt.

    The Coffee Shop That Changed a Church: Discovering the Net Effect , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 440min
    An instructional book told in narrative style, The Coffee Shop that Changed a Church: Discovering the Net Effect is as engaging as any good fiction. Author Steve Parr has emerged as a respected voice in communicating the true dynamics of churches that thrive in reaching and making disciples. His ideas are not only theoretical; he led a ministry that baptized over 1500 people in fourteen years. Parr';s story follows Mitch Walker, fresh out of seminary, as he struggles to find his way as the new pastor of a small and aging congregation. After two years, the ambitious pastor realizes he is a shepherd whose flock is content with grazing alone out in the pasture; that is, until a chance encounter with a neighboring pastor turns his ministry upside down. The experienced pastor offers to meet regularly with Mitch at a nearby coffee shop to share his innovative strategies for leading an evangelism movement, called the Net Effect. The story flows between Mitch's successes in helping the church become more outwardly focused, the resistance he faces from key leaders, and the lessons he learns from the six essentials of the Net Effect. Through Mitch's successes and failures, readers learn how to apply key practices for helping a church become intentionally evangelistic and thus more healthy and vibrant. Evangelistic effectiveness, leadership tools, and the importance of relationships are presented as Parr creatively weaves together drama, humor, and instruction. More specific topics include leadership, personal evangelism, proclamation evangelism, evangelism through small groups, and servant evangelism. Dr. Parr crafted this book not only for pastors, but also for deacons, Bible study leaders, staff members, and church members who hold any leadership role within the church. In a fresh and entertaining format, The Coffee Shop that Changed a Church inspires, equips, and motivates readers to serve Christ in fulfillment of the Great Commission. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Out of the Pocket , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 426min
    Set in the heart of the suburban Midwest, emerging author Blythe Stanfel gives us her first captivating novel, Out of the Pocket. This young adult historical fiction piece catalogs the Iraq War in 2003 and 2004 through the eyes of a senior high school football player, whose father is stationed in Iraq as a Major in the United States Army. Out of the Pocket bridges the literary gap that teenage boys often encounter when choosing novels to read, and provides them with an outlet to understand adolescence from a different perspective... Soldiers fighting in Iraq struggle physically and emotionally to survive each day, but what about their loved ones left back at home? Young boys and girls can easily relate to the main character in Out of the Pocket, Mercer Murray, whose slightly sarcastic yet sensitive voice, offers insight into the life of a typical high school senior struggling with football, girls, and most of all, his father fighting in the Iraq War. Even those with short-attention spans will be captivated with the journal and e-mail format of the novel that explores the justification for war and the hardships of high school life. Although Mercer's main focus is to play football at the University of Iowa the following year, he also learns about the life of a typical Iraqi teenager through e-mails with Ahmed, a young translator for Mercer's father who starts a correspondence with Mercer. Though separated by thousands of miles, the two men form a bond as Mercer provides support to Ahmed in his struggles to provide food for his family, and Ahmed helps Mercer learn how to survive without his dad. High school English and history teachers could use Out of the Pocket as a median to teach about the Iraq war while analyzing themes, symbolism, and character development. The best way to teach history is to tell a story. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dan Kassis. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/019402/bk_acx0_019402_sample.mp3.

    The Complete Works of John Wesley: Volume 1, Sermons 1-53 The Compete Works of John Wesley , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1887min
    The works of John Wesley have been treasured for many years, and we are pleased to offer this 141-sermon set in three volumes. These sermons constitute the essential points of his beliefs. Many were published by Wesley himself while others were recovered from his manuscripts after his death. While listening to these, you will find that his writings are never dry but maintain a vigor of life about them while maintaining a scriptural balance. He strived to reach the everyday man and bring him a living gospel, and this intent is spread throughout his sermons.While Wesley had originally intended to publish a three-volume series, he went on to add a fourth. He desired to reach a larger audience with these printed works than he could with his daily sermons in person, and there was also a particular demand for them. The four books are comprised of approximately 44 sermons and are contained in volume I of this audiobook. In 1746, he had published the first book of this projected work, titled Sermons on Several Occasions. He later went on to add another nine sermons to the series. The subsequent books were released in 1748, 1750, and 1760, respectively. It is important to note that these are by no means the whole of Wesley's written sermons; they were merely selected by him for the Christian reader as a kind of standard for his belief of many of the principal points of Christian doctrine, and have since become known as the standard sermons.In his preface to volume one, Wesley himself wrote, "I have accordingly set down in the following sermons what I find in the Bible concerning the way to heaven; with a view to distinguish this way of God from all those which are the inventions of men. I have endeavored to describe the true, the scriptural, experimental religion, so as to omit nothing which is a real part thereof, and to add nothing thereto which is not."
