Title: A Shot of Faith (to the Head): Be a Confident Believer in an Age of Cranky Atheists Author: Mitch Stokes Narrator: Tom Parks Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 37 minutes Release date: November 1, 2022 Genres: Christianity Publisher's Summary: Secular, skeptical, disillusioned. These are the traits that mark our age—encouraged by outspoken atheists who insist that faith is naïve and belief is dangerous. But what if the atheists are the irrational ones? Can their beliefs withstand the rigorous examination that they demand from others? In A Shot of Faith of Faith to the Head, Mitch Stokes, Senior Fellow of Philosophy at New Saint Andrews College, dismantles the claims of skeptics and atheists, while constructing a simple yet solid case for Christian belief. This profound yet accessible book proves the rationality, consistency, and reliability of the Christian approach to science and life. If you have ever doubted that your beliefs can stand up to scrutiny—if you’ve ever doubted your beliefs—this book dissolves the questions. For atheists, it is a wake-up call. For Christians, it’s A Shot of Faith to the Head. Endorsements: 'A Shot of Faith to the Head is much more than a defense of Christianity; it takes the offensive against the secularist thinking that enamors so many in the West. With the thoroughness of a scholar and the confidence of experience, Mitch Stokes demonstrates the intellectually dubious nature of the so-called 'New Atheism' and provides Christians with a much needed handbook for the questions they will surely face once they are outside of the safe confines of their Christian communities. I highly recommend it.' —Larry Taunton, founder of the Fixed Point Foundation and author of The Grace Effect   “A fine book: lively, clear, accessible, but also deep, and deeply competent.” —Alvin Plantinga,Emeritus Professor of Philosophy at the University of Notre Dame, author of Where the Conflict Really Lies: Science, Religion, and Naturalism, Oxford University Press “The Bible identifies Jesus as the Word and as the Light, available therefore to the mind as well as the heart. Of all religions, Christianity most invites one to think as well as to believe, and in this troubled time that invitation is still more urgent to take up. Here is a book by a skilled thinker, showing how better to think about faith. It is a worthy task, ably achieved.” —Larry P. Arnn, PhD, president, Hillsdale College “This book is what snarky atheists have coming to them for their dismissive claims and unfounded arrogance. Written not to convince atheists but to help Christians defend themselves and the Christian faith, A Shot of Faith to the Head takes the best tools of top-notch apologetics and philosophy and puts them in the hands of every believer. Even better, it’s easy and fun to read, winsome, witty, filled with sharp thinking, and well-researched. As a professor and pastor, I’ll be assigning this book in my apologetics courses and would recommend it to every Christian. It displays strategic answers to questions and objections every Christian has encountered.” —Justin Holcomb, pastor, Mars Hill Church; executive director of the Resurgence; adjunct professor of theology, Reformed Theological Seminary

Title: Letter to the American Church Author: Eric Metaxas Narrator: Eric Metaxas Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 32 minutes Release date: September 20, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.55 of Total 11 Ratings of Narrator: 4.5 of Total 6 Genres: Christianity Publisher's Summary: In an earnest and searing wake-up call, the author of the bestseller Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy warns of the haunting similarities between today’s American church and the German church of the 1930s. Echoing Bonhoeffer’s prophetic call, Eric Metaxas exhorts his fellow Christians to repent of their silence in the face of evil before it is too late. “Silence in the face of evil is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.” Turning the other cheek does not mean standing by while the enemies of God dismantle Christian civilization and brainwash our children. Decrying the cowardice that masquerades as meekness, Eric Metaxas summons the Church to battle. An attenuated and unbiblical “faith” based on what Bonhoeffer called “cheap grace” has sapped the spiritual vitality of millions of Americans. Paying lip service to an insipid “evangelism,” they shrink from combating the evils of our time. Metaxas refutes the pernicious lie that fighting evil politicizes Christianity. As Bonhoeffer and other heroes of the faith insisted, the Church has an irreplaceable role in the culture of a nation. It is our duty to fight the powers of darkness, especially on behalf of the weak and vulnerable. Silence is not an option. God calls us to defend the unborn, to confront the lies of cultural Marxism, and to battle the globalist tyranny that crushes human freedom. Confident that this is His fight, the Church must overcome fear and enter the fray, armed with the spiritual weapons of prayer, self-sacrifice, and love.

Vos Narrator: Steve Menasche Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 53 minutes Release date: August 16, 2022 Genres: Christianity Publisher's Summary: We live in a world of oppositional relationships and increasing in-group/out-group divisions. Christian sociologist Matthew Vos explains how the problem of the stranger lies at the root of many problems humanity faces, such as racism, sexism, and nationalism. He applies classic sociological theory on 'the stranger' to matters of faith and social justice, showing that an identity in Christ frees us to love strangers as neighbors and friends. The book also includes two guest chapters, one on intersex persons and the church and one on stranger-making in the 'correctional' system.

Title: Good News for Anxious Christians, Expanded Ed.: 10 Practical Things You Don't Have to Do Author: Phillip Cary Narrator: Jim Denison Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 43 minutes Release date: August 9, 2022 Genres: Christianity Publisher's Summary: 10 Things You Don't Have to Do to Be Close to God Like a succession of failed diet regimens, the much-touted techniques that are supposed to bring us closer to God 'in our hearts' can instead make us feel anxious, frustrated, and overwhelmed. Phillip Cary explains that discipleship is a gradual, long-term process that comes through the gospel experienced in Christian community, not a to-do list designed to help us live the Christian life 'right.' He covers ten things we don't have to do to be close to God, skillfully unpacking the riches of traditional Christian spirituality. The expanded edition includes a new afterword.

Title: Understanding and Loving Your Bonus Child Author: Connie Clark Phd, Stephen Arterburn Narrator: Kyle Tait Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 19 minutes Release date: August 2, 2022 Genres: Christianity Publisher's Summary: Twenty-first-century how-to advice embracing and celebrating the nonbiological parent and his or her 'bonus' children, from the author of the internationally bestselling Understanding Your Child series, and host of New Life Live!, the nation's number one Christian call-in counseling show. Most of the parenting books currently in circulation were written decades ago. Therefore, they do not address—nor could they address—all the issues parents face today in the era of technology and excess. Parents do not need another article that contradicts the last one they read; rather, they need insights, techniques, and strategies to tackle the pressing issues of twenty-first-century parenting. That's what the Understanding and Loving Your Child series of books will do. Understanding and Loving Your Bonus Child takes a look at a very familiar family dynamic. Not being the biological parent to your spouse’s child doesn’t mean you don’t have a voice. This book helps celebrate the role of a bonus parent in a child's life.

Title: Justification by Faith Alone Author: Jonathan Edwards Narrator: John Formsma Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 44 minutes Release date: June 18, 2022 Genres: Christianity Publisher's Summary: Jonathan Edwards is often referred to as America’s greatest theologian. He lived from 1703-1758, and was used by God in the American Great Awakening. Justification by Faith Alone was a printed discourse based on the sermons he had preached on Justification during the 1730’s that led to a great revival among the people in his area. This audiobook is read from Edwards’ original text with only a few minor changes to make it more understandable to the listener. His main argument was: “That we are justified only by faith in Christ, and not by any manner of virtue or goodness of our own,” and he divided his discourse into five main parts. “In handling this doctrine, I would, I. Explain the meaning of it, and show how I would be understood by such an assertion. II. Proceed to the consideration of the evidence of the truth of it. III. Show how evangelical obedience is concerned in this affair. IV. Answer objections. V. Consider the importance of the doctrine.”

Title: No Shortcut to Success: A Manifesto for Modern Missions Author: Matt Rhodes Narrator: Chuck Badger Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 50 minutes Release date: June 2, 2022 Genres: Christianity Publisher's Summary: Avoid “Get-Rich-Quick” Missions Strategies and Invest in Effective, Long-Term Ministry Trendy new missions strategies are a dime a dozen, promising missionaries monumental results in record time. These strategies report explosive movements of people turning to Christ, but their claims are often dubious and they do little to ensure the health of believers or churches that remain. How can churches and missionaries address the urgent need to reach unreached people without falling for quick fixes? In No Shortcut to Success, author and missionary Matt Rhodes implores Christians to stop chasing silver-bullet strategies and short-term missions, and instead embrace theologically robust and historically demonstrated methods of evangelism and discipleship―the same ones used by historic figures such as William Carey and Adoniram Judson. These great missionaries didn’t rush evangelism; they spent time studying Scripture, mastering foreign languages, and building long-term relationships. Rhodes explains that modern missionaries’ emphasis on minimal training and quick conversions can result in slipshod evangelism that harms the communities they intend to help. He also warns against underestimating the value of individual skill and effort―under the guise of “getting out of the Lord’s way”―and empowers Christians with practical, biblical steps to proactively engage unreached groups. - Biblical Ministry Advice: Examines the work of respected missionaries throughout history - Encourages Professionalism in Missions: Rhodes teaches missionaries to invest in theological education, communication, and technical skills - A Great Resource for Ministries: Includes specific advice for singles, parents, and other groups - Insightful: Examines strengths and weaknesses of recent missionary movements
