Barefoot Church: Serving the Least in a Consumer Culture , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 369min
People are hungry to make a difference in their community, yet most don't know where to start. In fact, "serving the least" is often one of the most neglected biblical mandates in the church. Barefoot Church explains how today's church can be a catalyst for individual, collective, and social renewal in any context. Whether pastors or laypeople, listeners will discover practical ideas that end up being as much about the Gospel and personal transformation as they are about serving the poor. Here they will see how the organizational structure of the church can be created or redesigned for mission in any context. Drawing from his own journey, Brandon Hatmaker proves that serving the least is not a trendy act of benevolence but a lifestyle of authentic community and spiritual transformation. As Hatmaker writes, "My hope is that God would open our eyes more and more to the needs of our community. And that we would see it as the church's responsibility to lead the charge." ungekürzt.

Kingdom Economy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 48min
Kingdom Economy is about recognizing the true human resources that pass through our lives and worlds. It is also about developing real and living relationships with other life-minded people of destiny. The power of agreement is worth more than gold, silver, or any tangible substance known to man, and while it is important to embrace our common differences, it is equally important to celebrate our various parts and contributions. Simply put, we need one another in life, ministry, and business, and we need to get used to the idea of working together here and now! Kingdom economy is not about me achieving or accomplishing my personal goals in life. It is not about me acquiring and securing the things that I both need and want. It is not about me, myself, and I fulfilling my personal agendas or mandates. It is not about me at all. It is all about him and us fulfilling his greater kingdom purpose in our lifetimes. ungekürzt.

Vegan Revolution: Saving Our World, Revitalizing Judaism , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 452min
For over four decades, Richard Schwartz has engaged with two ethically rich ways of living that, as he charts in this book, he came to appreciate in middle age: Judaism and veganism. Having been born into a secular Jewish family, it was his marriage and an increasing commitment to social justice that propelled him to study and rediscover the essence of his Jewish faith. That sense of social justice further raised his awareness of the environmental movement, and, ultimately, led to animal rights and veganism. In Vegan Revolution: Saving Our World, Revitalizing Judaism, Schwartz shows how now, perhaps more than ever, veganism offers a pathway for all of us of whatever faith (or no faith) to reduce hunger, conserve the environment, save water, reinstitute justice, and care for animals and the Earth. It is no coincidence, as Schwartz demonstrates, that many of these ideas are mandates in Jewish scripture, and that reincorporating a care for the world (tikkun olam) can itself reinvigorate the spirit of a faith and galvanize its practitioners to act. ungekürzt.

Frustrated with paperwork, testing, time demands, limited support, difficult relationships with parents, and feeling insecure about your ability to succeed as a teacher in the classroom? Teaching children with exceptionalities is a difficult task, not totally because of the children's needs but also because of the additional demands of the required documentation and legal restrictions. This book explores what to do when the job becomes overwhelming and how teachers can reignite their passion for their profession.The year 2020 was the forty-fifth anniversary of the Education for All Handicapped Children Act (now IDEA) and the thirtieth anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Dr. Joan Finch has served a significant role in all the stages of these legal mandates and their impact on individuals with special needs for the past forty-five years. Through intense study and remarkable timing, she became an expert in the field of special education, and her entire career path runs parallel to the legal and societal changes occurring in America in regard to individuals with disabilities. The laws and attitudes around her have shifted significantly, but her desire to inspire students and teachers alike has never wavered.- Shop: buecher

Confessions of a Bad Teacher: The Shocking Truth from the Front Lines of American Public Education , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 503min
An explosive new look at the pressures on today's teachers and the pitfalls of school reform, Confessions of a Bad Teacher presents a passionate appeal to save public schools, before it's too late. When John Owens left a lucrative job to teach English at a public school in New York City's South Bronx, he thought he could do some good. Faced with a flood of struggling students, Owens devised ingenious ways to engage every last one. But as his students began to thrive under his tutelage, Owens found himself increasingly mired in a broken educational system, driven by broken statistics, finances, and administrations undermining their own support system-the teachers. The situation has gotten to the point where the phrase "Bad Teacher" is almost interchangeable with "Teacher". And Owens found himself labeled just that when the methods he saw inspiring his students didn't meet the reform mandates. With firsthand accounts from teachers across the country and tips for improving public schools, Confessions of a Bad Teacher is an eye-opening call-to-action to embrace our best educators and create real reform for our children's futures. ungekürzt.

How Should Christians Vote? , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 139min
Christians are a large and influential voting block today. But as each governmental election approaches, an increasing polarity occurs within those claiming the Christian faith. This comes as a result of party-voting rather than voting according to Biblical mandates and authority. To refocus correctly, Dr. Tony Evans goes back to the basics and teaches about how God established government as a divine institution whose tasks include promoting the well-being of those within its realm and protection from evil. Scripture trumps all political alliances, making the voting decision a critical opportunity for Christians to promote God's Word and His values through whom they elect. In the face of increasing emotions, the Christians representing the values of God's kingdom should communicate His truths in a manner reflective of the King - in a gracious and strategic way. Dr. Evans also looks at the necessary qualities in a good candidate, which include intellect, education, competency, skill, and spiritual beliefs; whether certain issues are non-negotiables; and how a responsible citizen is to research a candidates' position in order to evaluate it against God's Word. ungekürzt.
