Title: Something Wicked: The Lives, Crimes and Deaths of the Pendle Witches Author: Carol Ann Lee Narrator: Emma Gregory Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 10 minutes Release date: October 10, 2024 Genres: World Religions Publisher's Summary: On 20 August 1612, ten people from Pendle were executed before a vast crowd at Lancaster's Gallows Hill. The condemned and their associates had endured six months of accusations, imprisonment and torture; their treatment was such that one of the group died in Lancaster Castle's dungeons, while awaiting trial. Today, a thriving tourism industry exists in and around Pendle, the former home of the so-called witches, yet virtually everything we know about the case originates from a single source: Thomas Potts' Wonderfull Discoverie of Witches, hurriedly published in 1613 and distinctly skewed in favour of the prosecution. Until now... Sunday Times bestselling author Carol Ann Lee brings an entirely fresh perspective to the story by approaching it as true crime. Having worked in the genre for more than a decade, her research leads to revelatory discoveries, transforming our knowledge of those shadowy figures behind ill-famed names, and the terrible events that befell them. After four centuries of superstition and surmise, the two central, warring families - each headed by a fiercely independent widow working as 'cunning women' - emerge fully formed, as the book uncovers the reality of their lives and their alleged crimes before exploring the trial and executions. Along the way, we uncover the truth behind some of the story's most enduring mysteries: the legend of Malkin Tower and the final resting place of the Pendle witches. This is a ground-breaking book that will take the reader on a spellbinding journey into the dark heart of England's largest and most notorious witch trial.

Title: Waking Up to the Goodness of God: 40 Days Toward Healing and Wholeness Author: Susie Larson Narrator: Susie Larson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 42 minutes Release date: January 16, 2024 Genres: World Religions Publisher's Summary: Read by the author. For those who have been disappointed when the 'good life' let them down or discouraged by life's struggles, the goodness of God is trustworthy, life-giving, and everlasting. Jesus wants to lead you on a healing path to redeem your story and to make you whole. The words we say and the things we pray matter to God and to our health. Where we rest our gaze and how we think about God directly impacts the condition of our souls. Proverbs 14:30 states, 'A heart at peace gives life to the body.' God is well able to restore and renew us even when culture swirls around us. The world needs healing. But we can't impart what we don't possess.  Scripture highlights the significance of 40 days as a kind of pilgrimage or spiritual journey toward a deeper dependence and reliance upon God. Science highlights how 40 days of practice (of a habit, a renewed thought, a healthy discipline, etc.) directly impacts our brain's structure and physiological health. Join best-selling author, popular radio host, and Bible teacher Susie Larson on a 40-day pilgrimage to explore God's invitation to flourish, heal, and know His peace in a way that changes us forever. Through this journey, listeners will discover how to: - Retrain their brains and renew their minds to notice God's goodness and to make that their default setting - Revive their faith by immersing in God’s promises, saying and praying them more than ever - Restore a right view of God's character based on His Word and stop drawing wrong conclusions about Him - Redeem their story and renew their strength by following the Healer   Do you still believe God is good? Do you believe He cares about the condition of your soul? And that He still answers prayer? Are you ready to position yourself on the path of His promises and see what He might do in and through you?

Title: The Amen Effect: Ancient Wisdom to Mend Our Broken Hearts and World Author: Sharon Brous Narrator: Sharon Brous Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 19 minutes Release date: January 9, 2024 Genres: World Religions Publisher's Summary: The national bestseller From one of our country’s most prominent rabbis, an inspiring book about the power of community based on one of her most impactful sermons. In a time of loneliness and isolation, social rupture and alienation, what will it take to mend our broken hearts and rebuild our society? Sharon Brous—a leading American rabbi—makes the case that the spiritual work of our time, as instinctual as it is counter-cultural, is to find our way to one other in celebration, in sorrow, and in solidarity. To show up for each other in moments of joy and pain, vulnerability and possibility, to invest in relationships of shared purpose and build communities of care.  Brous contends that it is through honoring our most basic human instinct-- the yearning for real connection-- that we reawaken our shared humanity and begin to heal. This kind of sacred presence is captured by the word amen, a powerful ancient idea that we affirm the fullness of one another’s experience by demonstrating, in body and word: “I see you. You are not alone.”  An acclaimed preacher and story-teller, Brous pairs heart-driven anecdotes from her experience building and pastoring to a leading-edge faith community over the past two decades with ancient Jewish wisdom and contemporary science. The result is a clarion call: the sense of belonging engendered by our genuine presence is not only a social and biological need, but a moral and spiritual necessity. With original insights and practical tools, The Amen Effect translates foundational ideas into simple practices that connect us to our better angels, offering a blueprint for a more meaningful life and a more connected and caring world.

Title: Mary's Voice: Advent Reflections to Contemplate the Coming of Christ Author: Amy Orr-Ewing Narrator: Amy Orr-Ewing Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 48 minutes Release date: October 24, 2023 Genres: World Religions Publisher's Summary: Find guidance through the advent season with the mother of Jesus and central figure in the story of Christmas, Mary. At Christmastime we remember that an ordinary, young, poor, oppressed woman was chosen to play a significant and breakthrough role in the redemption of the world. It is no mistake that a woman gets to be a part of all this, and that her voice, her questions, her fears, and her actions matter.   Mary’s faith and her wisdom form an astonishing aspect of the story of how God became a person for the love of this world. And in our weary world that is waiting and longing for light, meaning, peace, and love, we can do as Mary did when she “treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart.”

Title: Soulfull: A Weekly Devotional to Nourish the Mind, Body, and Spirit Author: Farrell Mason Narrator: Farrell Mason Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 12 minutes Release date: October 24, 2023 Genres: World Religions Publisher's Summary: Soulfull is a gentle nudge to reorient our intentions and want more for our one precious life: a collection of spiritual reflections, recipes, activities, and prayers that come together as an encyclopedia of hope and spiritual direction. “Soulfull rebuilt and bolstered some corners of my soul that had been worn away. What a gift!”—Shauna Niequist, New York Times bestselling author of I Guess I Haven’t Learned That Yet Are we truly living the life we want to live? Sometimes, but not nearly enough. Our souls crave authentic experiences, but seeking them is a challenge in our overcommitted world where often we are more focused on “making it through” than on “making it sacred.” We need regular soul wake-up calls and holy daily rhythms to live a life that feels good from the inside out, shines with meaning, and radiates joy.

Title: Follow the Healer: Biblical and Theological Foundations for Healing Ministry Author: Stephen Seamands Narrator: Mark Smeby Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 11 minutes Release date: September 5, 2023 Genres: World Religions Publisher's Summary: Follow the Healer provides those in ministry with a practical theology of healing—helping you understand how Jesus heals and why we still need to participate. It's easy to fall into one of two extremes when it comes to Christian healing: outright skepticism on one side and abuse on the other. Many of us have a lot of good and difficult questions: - What is Christian healing ministry supposed to look like? - How do we go about it? - What forms and expressions should it take, and how do we evaluate it? - How do we determine whether the healing ministry we are involved in is in keeping with what Jesus intended?   Starting from the assumption that Jesus does heal in our day and age, Follow the Healer seeks to answer these questions with a balanced, pastoral, and scriptural approach. This is a call to help you better understand and minister God’s healing to a world that is in so much pain. You'll take a closer look at why Christian healing is still relevant and essential today and how to avoid the many difficulties, disappointments, and distortions that occur in healing ministry. Stephen Seamands draws upon over three decades of teaching theology and active involvement in healing ministry to help you grasp the 'why-to' of healing that comes before the 'how-to.' This holistic, Wesleyan approach to healing will help traditional evangelicals more readily embrace healing ministry and lead Pentecostals and charismatics already engaged in this ministry to move toward a more discerning approach to healing. Accompanying figures are included in the audiobook companion PDF download.

Title: Home is Here: Practicing Antiracism with the Engaged Eightfold Path Author: Liên Shutt Narrator: Liên Shutt Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 27 minutes Release date: August 22, 2023 Genres: World Religions Publisher's Summary: A guide to living the Engaged Four Noble Truths: antiracist practices for wholeness, healing, and collective liberation. For readers of Be the Refuge, The Way of Tenderness, Love and Rage, and Radical Dharma. Home is Here builds on foundational Buddhist teachings—the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path—offering an intersectional frame to help you embody antiracist practices and tend to your own healing under racism and oppression. Grounded in practice, memoir, and mindful self-help skill-building, Rev. Liên Shutt’s Engaged Four Noble Truths illuminate a path toward healing and liberation. She shares her own experiences with anti-Asian hate—as a teen riding her bike, meditating in whitewashed monasteries—and asks, what does it mean to attend to our suffering in body, heart, and mind when racism can cause such intense hurt and pain? What does it look like to heal? While written mainly for Asian American Buddhists and other BIPOC practitioners, Home is Here moves us all from knowing and contemplation to a place of action and wholeness. In the doing is the realization, and in practicing antiracism, we build a home for all beings. This is reflected in Rev. Shutt’s choice to frame each step of the Engaged Eightfold Path not as “right” but as “skillful”—to convey both the knowing and the practices essential to healing harm. In this way:  - Skillful view helps us understand and unpack the layers of our racial conditioning within systemic white supremacy. - Skillful motivation allows us to understand our agency and align our actions with wholeness. - Skillful effort guides us when working through difficult or triggering situations - Skillful speech helps us communicate wholly truthfully, even (and especially) when navigating challenging conversations. An engaged reframing of core Buddhist spiritual principles, Home is Here connects foundational practices to urgent causes—and invites readers on a path home to wholeness. From TI 9781623179045 TR.

At the core of every man's true purpose and lasting success is a singular pursuit: seeking the heart of God. This practical, easy-to-use devotional equips men--in just a few minutes each day--to pursue God and build a life-changing relationship with him. Every man yearns for a life of meaning and purpose. Every man wants to use his strengths and abilities to achieve something that matters. But no pursuit compares with seeking--and finding--God himself.

And the application section features prayer prompts, reflection questions, or action items to bring focus and purpose to each day. Maritz makes it simple and straightforward to develop the vital habits of - hearing from God through scripture by providing clear, accessible teachings on some of the most powerful and meaningful passages of the Bible; - connecting with God at a deeper level through prayer; - overcoming distractions to prioritize a closer walk with Jesus; and - abiding in Christ to produce the fruit of the Spirit at all times.   Maritz reminds men that of all the things they could be pursuing--success, status, power, relationships, or any number of worldly goods--only one pursuit truly matters: becoming a spiritual man of God. Only through walking with God daily, in both the good and the difficult times, can men discover their true joy and purpose.

Author: Susie Larson Narrator: Susie Larson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 46 minutes Release date: August 15, 2023 Genres: World Religions Publisher's Summary: Read by the author with audiobook-exclusive interviews of: - Alisa Keeton, founder of Revelation Wellness and bestselling author - Brant Hansen, radio host and author of the bestseller Unoffendable - Dr. Jeremiah Johnston, author and president of Christian Thinkers Society - Tessa Asher, bestselling author of biblical and inspirational historical fiction   God is omnipresent—meaning He's here, there, everywhere all at the same time—so no matter what you're going through today or worried about facing tomorrow, He is closer than you can imagine, and His presence changes everything. The God of creation cares deeply about every detail of our personal lives. He's in charge of every galaxy and has named every star. He also knows about the hurts in our hearts and the hairs on our heads. He's near and far. His glory fills the universe, and yet He's up close and involved. Though we believe in our minds that God is all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-present, sometimes we don't feel his closeness. How can we walk boldly in our faith, expecting Him to draw near to us as we draw near to Him, as promised in the book of James? In Closer Than Your Next Breath, bestselling author, speaker, and radio host Susie Larson helps readers experience God's trustworthiness and love—even when they feel far from Him. In this book, readers will explore these questions and more:  - How do I know if I'm hearing the voice of God? - Is feeling good the same as feeling God? - Is there anything I can do when God seems silent? - How should God's presence impact me?   There's nothing like God's presence in our lives, but sometimes we chase the sensational and miss the supernatural. Worship services, retreats or conferences, and mountaintop experiences are great, but too often we rush right by the nuanced, miraculous ways God shows up in our story every day. When we pursue the heart of God through the Word of God, that's when we experience the presence of God—and it makes all the difference in our lives. Reflection questions are included in the audiobook companion PDF download.

Title: The Essence of Chan: A Guide to Life and Practice according to the Teachings of Bodhidharma Author: Guo Gu Narrator: Daniel Henning Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 21 minutes Release date: July 11, 2023 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 2 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 2 Genres: World Religions Publisher's Summary: Clear and illuminating commentary on one of Bodhidharma's most important texts—designed to help Chan practitioners apply timeless and essential advice to their practice Legend has it that more than a thousand years ago an Indian Buddhist monk named Bodhidharma arrived in China. His approach to teaching was unlike that of any of the Buddhist missionaries who had come to China before him. He confounded the emperor with cryptic dialogues, traveled the country, lived in a cave in the mountains, and eventually paved the way for a unique and illuminating approach to Buddhist teachings that would later spread across the whole of East Asia in the form of Chan—later to be known as Seon in Korean, Thien in Vietnamese, and Zen in Japanese. This book, a translation and commentary on one of Bodhidharma's most important texts, explores Bodhidharma's revolutionary teachings in English. Guo Gu weaves his commentary through modern and relatable contexts, showing that this centuries-old wisdom is just as crucial for life now as it was when it first came to be. Masterfully translated and accompanied by helpful insights to supplement daily practice, The Essence of Chan is the perfect guide for those new to Chan, those returning, or those who have been practicing for years.

Timothy Gallagher O.M.V. Narrator: Tom Mcelroy Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 36 minutes Release date: July 4, 2023 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: World Religions Publisher's Summary: Here is a powerful, life-changing book that will help you understand and conquer the struggles you face in your spiritual life. It's a book for those who love the Lord and desire holiness yet often feel adrift or stagnant in their search for spiritual growth. All of us encounter valleys on our journey with the Lord—those periods of spiritual desolation that are a painful yet unavoidable feature of our prayer life. Spiritual desolation is as complex as we are, so understanding what is happening and responding to it properly are critical to reaching the heights of holiness. With warmth and understanding, Fr. Gallagher carefully identifies in this book the various forms of spiritual and nonspiritual desolation and supplies the remedy for each. You'll learn how to discern whether your struggles derive from medical or psychological conditions or whether those struggles are spiritual and permitted by the Lord for reasons of growth. You'll also learn the forms of spiritual dryness and of the Dark Night—and how to respond to them. Fr. Gallagher presents a particular struggle and then provides the advice he gives to those who come to him for spiritual direction about that struggle.
