    Part of the Contemporary Christian series.John Stott's best-selling volume, The Contemporary Christian: An Urgent Plea for Double Listening, updated and presented for today's audience.The church lies at the centre of God's purpose. Christ gave himself 'to purify for himself a people that are his own'.But when we think about church, there's the tension between the ideal and the reality. The former is beautiful: God's special treasure, the covenant community, a haven of love and peace. The latter? A motley rabble needing constant rebuke and exhortation.Here we focus on the ideal, on what God intends his church to be, while all the time keeping in view the reality, so that we can grasp the changes that need to be made.About the authorJohn Stott exercised a worldwide ministry as a church leader, Bible expositor and author. His best-selling books have been translated into numerous languages, won several awards and shaped whole generations of ministers, thinkers, writers and bloggers.

    Hater: On the Virtues of Utter Disagreeability , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 249min
    A timely manifesto urging us to think critically, form opinions, and then argue them with gusto.Hater begins from a simple premise: that it's good to hate things. Not people or groups or benign belief systems, but things. More to the point, it's good to hate the things everyone seems to like.Scan the click-baiting headlines of your favorite news or pop-culture website, and you're likely to find that just about everything is, supposedly, "what we need right now." We are the victims of an unbridled, unearned optimism. And our world demands pessimism. It's vital to be contrarian - now, as they say, more than ever. Because ours is an age of calcified consensus. And we should all hate that.In this scathing and funny rebuke of the status quo, journalist John Semley illustrates that looking for and identifying nonsense isn't just a useful exercise for society, it's also a lot of fun. But Hater doesn't just skewer terrible TV shows and hit songs - at its core it tells us how to meaningfully talk about and engage with culture, and the world. Ultimately, Hater is what we actually need right now. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: John Semley. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/prhc/000631/bk_prhc_000631_sample.mp3.

    America the Great Satan: A Book of Poetry , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 91min
    With professing Christians in a huge state of apathy and the body of Christ on the decline, all it takes for a political leader to gain the confidence and allegiance of the masses is mere words. Christians have forgotten that they were not only called to love, forgive, and be peacemakers, but to judge, rebuke, and admonish as well. They have forgotten that leaders are to be rebuked publicly. They have forgotten that those who claim to be Christians but live in unrepentant sin are to be excommunicated from the body of Christ. Today, Christians in the United States of America are asleep, and it's time for them to wake up! While Jesus Christ taught his followers to love their enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them that persecute you, various presidents, politicians, and even religious talking heads command their constituents and listeners to kill their enemies, do evil to them that hate you, and bomb them that persecute you. The question is, who will you follow: the religious right or the right religion, the constitution or the word of God, the POTUS or Jesus Christ? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Lawrence D.

    Good Tidings and Great Joy: Protecting the Heart of Christmas , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 262min
    At a time when Christian values are challenged - when the greeting “Merry Christmas” has been replaced by the supposedly less offensive “Happy Holidays” - Governor Sarah Palin makes the case for bringing back the freedom to express the religious spirit of the season. In Good Tidings and Great Joy, she discusses one of Christianity’s most sacred celebrations, and how the holiday has been robbed of its meaning and true tradition by the pressures of political correctness. Palin defends the importance of preserving Jesus Christ in Christmas - whether in public displays, school concerts, and pageants, or in our hearts - and delivers a sharp rebuke to today’s society for the homogenization of the holiday season. Sharing personal memories from Christmases during her childhood, she illustrates why she holds the celebration of Jesus Christ’s Nativity so dear. Good Tidings and Great Joy revisits our traditional roots and the true meaning of Christmas. It is a call to action to listeners to defend and openly celebrate the joys of their Christianity, and to say to one another, “Merry Christmas!” PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio. ungekürzt.

    Beware the power of the written word.... Whovian BFFs Molly Murphy and Glory Jackson are about to have their worlds flipped upside down. Molly's father died when she was 10 years old. Since then he's visited her in eerie recurring dreams, telling her she has "a power". Besides wanting her father back, Molly wants to be a writer. A scathing rebuke from her mother finally pushes her to try at age 21. Her first attempt is a passive-aggressive blurb about her awful neighbor. The only problem is - it comes true. Scared and guilt ridden, Molly nearly swears off writing. Now she understands what her father meant by "a power", but she doesn't know why or how it is happening. Molly can't resist the temptation to explore her abilities, but she must be more careful. Something sinister has begun haunting her bedroom, and she suspects a connection. Molly and her roommate, Glory, explore the implications of such life-changing power while drinking wine and learning how to be adults in the suburbs of Houston, Texas. The sinister presence isn't enough to dissuade Molly from writing, but it's sure got her worried. Some people only learn the hard way. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dawn Gibbs, April Adams.

    Assassination on Embassy Row , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1040min
    The gripping account of an assassination on US soil and the violent foreign conspiracy that stretched from Pinochet's Chile to the streets of Washington, DC, with a new introduction by Ariel Dorfman. On September 10, 1976, exiled Chilean leader Orlando Letelier delivered a blistering rebuke of Augusto Pinochet's brutal right-wing regime in a speech at Madison Square Garden. Eleven days later, while Letelier was on Embassy Row in Washington, DC, a bomb affixed to the bottom of his car exploded, killing him and his coworker Ronni Moffitt. The slaying, staggering in its own right, exposed an international conspiracy that reached well into US territory. Pinochet had targeted Letelier, a former Chilean foreign minister and ambassador to the United States, and carried out the attack with the help of Operation Condor, the secret alliance of South America's military dictatorships dedicated to wiping out their most influential opponents. This gripping account tells the story not only of a political plot that ended in murder, but also of the FBI's inquiry into the affair. Definitive in its examination both of Letelier's murder and of the subsequent investigations carried out by American intelligence, Assassination on Embassy Row is equal parts keen analysis and true-life spy thriller. ungekürzt.

    Your Word Is Your Wand: A Sequel to the Game of Life and How to Play It , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 70min
    Jesus Christ emphasized the power of the word; "By thy words thou shalt be justified and by thy words thou shalt be condemned," and "death and life are in power of the tongue."  So man has power to change an unhappy condition by waving over it the wand of his word. In the place of sorrow appears joy, in the place of sickness appears health, in the place of lack appears plenty. The imaging faculty is the creative faculty and it is important to choose words which bring a flash of the fulfillment of the demand. Never force a picture by visualizing; let the divine idea flash into your conscious mind; then the student is working according to the divine design.  There is no truth in lack or limitation. He waves over it the wand of his word and the wilderness rejoices and blossoms as the rose. Fear, doubt, anxiety, anger, resentment pull down the cells of the body, shock the nervous system and are the causes of disease and disaster. Happiness and health must be earned by absolute control of the emotional nature.Power moves but is never moved. When man stands calm and serene, has a good appetite, feels contented and happy when appearances are against him, he has reached mastery. Then he has power to "rebuke the winds and the waves," to control conditions. His word is his wand and he transmutes apparent failure into success. He knows his universal supply is endless and immediate and all his needs manifest instantly on the external. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dennis Logan.

    Ties that Bind: Number 3 in the 'Tempted by Her Student' Series , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 51min, (USK 18)
    There was something slightly apocalyptic in the way the girl was speaking, and Bella felt more than a little frightened now. She watched the girl get up and walk slowly to the kitchen counter where the young visitor grabbed a glass and helped herself to an opened bottle of white wine. "You want one too? Make yourself at home!" the girl joked. Bella was silent. The girl moved to the patio doors at the back of the kitchen and looked out at the garden. "You might as well have a glass," she told Bella with that seductive Spanish accent more to the fore. "I mean this party is happening, and sooner or later you're gonna climb on for the ride." Bella watched, terrified and fascinated. The glimmer of sundown caught the edges of the girl's beautiful body as she stood in that strange jewel-studded, almost illuminated, underwear. Bella couldn't help but notice the delicious little kink between the girl's waist and her hips. As in the train and as in her office, Bella's throat suddenly felt parched. Something lurched in her tummy as if she was soaring on a rollercoaster. "You have a bed upstairs?" the girl said in that matter-of-fact tone that so disoriented the older woman. "Er, yes, naturally. We don't sleep on the floor!" Bella was pleased with this reply: positive, confident, and even a small rebuke there somewhere! "And your husband wears ties?" This time Bella was less confident: "Er, yes.... Er, why do you ask?" ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Velvet Campbell Stewart.

    The Unseen Realm , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 943min
    In The Unseen Realm, Dr. Michael Heiser examines the ancient context of scripture, explaining how its supernatural worldview can help us grow in our understanding of God. He illuminates intriguing and amazing passages of the Bible that have been hiding in plain sight. You'll find yourself engaged in an enthusiastic pursuit of the truth, resulting in a new appreciation for God's word. Why wasn't Eve surprised when the serpent spoke to her? How did descendants of the Nephilim survive the flood? Why did Jacob fuse Yahweh and his angel together in his prayer? Who are the assembly of divine beings that God presides over? In what way do those beings participate in God's decisions? Why do Peter and Jude promote belief in imprisoned spirits? Why does Paul describe evil spirits in terms of geographical rulership? Who are the glorious ones that even angels dare not rebuke? After listening to this book, you may never read your Bible the same way again. There is a world referred to in the scripture that is quite unseen, but also quite present and active. Michael Heiser's The Unseen Realm seeks to unmask this world. Heiser shows how important it is to understand this world and appreciate how its contribution helps to make sense of scripture. The book is clear and well done, treating many ideas and themes that often go unseen themselves. With this book, such themes will no longer be neglected, so listen to it and discover a new realm for reflection about what scripture teaches. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Lincoln Raw: A Biographical Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 824min
    A rare journey into the heart and mind of Abraham Lincoln because events don't make history...people do. Beyond the legend, Abraham is inescapably human, reliving the gauntlet of tragedy and abuse that should have consumed him, exposing his private reasons for standing firm on the brink of war. Seven-year-old Abraham Lincoln's boyhood dies when his father drags their family from the relative comfort of Kentucky into an unforgiving Indiana wilderness. While suffering rebuke for teaching himself to read and write, Abraham endures rumors of illegitimate birth, escapes death a half dozen times, labors to repay his father's debts, and grieves the deaths of his infant brother, angel mother, precious sister, and beloved sweetheart. By his early 30s, he casts off his parents' religion, becomes estranged from his closest friend, and loses faith in his own character when he breaks an engagement to marry a woman he doesn't love. He spirals into life-threatening depression. In the prime of life, unable to keep a pledge made to his dying mother to become someone special, he wrestles with self-doubt, abandons politics, and resigns himself to a life of mediocrity. But when his longtime rival opens the door for slavery's expansion across half the globe, Lincoln faces the greatest challenge of his life - his beloved country is being ripped apart. Grounded in historical record, the story is enriched by insights gleaned from the works of prominent Lincoln biographers: Harold Holzer, Michael Burlingame, Douglas Wilson, Allen Guelzo, and Joshua Shenk, to credit a few. ungekürzt.
