With the story of her conversion as a backdrop, Rosaria Butterfield invites us into her home to show us how God can use “radical, ordinary hospitality” to bring the Gospel to our lost friends and neighbors. Such hospitality sees our homes as not our own but as God’s tools for the furtherance of his kingdom as we welcome those who look, think, believe, and act differently from us into our everyday, sometimes messy lives - helping them see what true Christian faith really looks like.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 16
Today's Christians often view the practice of defending their faith as pushy or unnecessary. Won't it just be taken for proselytizing? Don't many unbelievers find it offensive? Many Christians have shifted to a strategy of hoping that our lives will show Christ to our neighbors. In Telling a Better Story, Joshua Chatraw presents a new and refreshing way to engage in apologetics that will help you tell the story of Christ in a holistic, culturally-contextual manner that—while being respectful—helps unbelievers imagine a more complete happiness and a better meaning to life.

Story5 out of 5 stars 252
As Christians, we believe that all sins are considered equal in God's eyes. Yet while evangelicals continue to decry the Big Ones--such as abortion, adultery, and violence--we often overlook more deceptive sins. It seems we have created a sliding scale where gossip, jealousy, and selfishness comfortably exist within the church. In short, some sins have simply become acceptable.

How did the world arrive at its current, disorienting state of identity politics, and how should the church respond? Historian Carl R. Trueman discusses how influences ranging from traditional institutions to technology and pornography moved modern culture toward an era of “expressive individualism.” Investigating philosophies from the Romantics, Nietzsche, Marx, Wilde, Freud, and the New Left, he outlines the history of Western thought to the distinctly sexual direction of present-day identity politics and explains the modern implications of these ideas.

Hard times come for all in life, with no real explanation. When we walk through suffering, it has the potential to devastate and destroy, or to be the gateway to gratitude and joy. Elisabeth Elliot was no stranger to suffering. Her first husband, Jim, was murdered by the Waoroni people in Ecuador moments after he arrived in hopes of sharing the gospel. Her second husband was lost to cancer. Yet, it was in her deepest suffering that she learned the deepest lessons about God.

The Resurrection accounts of Jesus in the Gospels are the most dramatic and impactful stories ever told. One similarity unites each testimony - that none of his most loyal and steadfast followers could "see" it was him, back from the dead. The reason for this is at the very foundation of the Christian faith.

Publisher's Summary
Christians know church is important, but sometimes it doesn't seem worth it. An eclectic assortment of people with differing personalities, political views, and parenting styles can make for awkward interactions and difficult connections. What's the point of putting in the tough work to build relationships? But the Bible says God's people ought to be bound together. It uses words like beloved, brothers and sisters, saints, and fellow laborers to describe their mutual relationship in the church.
In this audiobook, Megan Hill answers a common question of churchgoers: What's so great about the church? With rich theology and practical direction, Hill encourages and equips both first-time visitors and regular members to delight in being a part of the local church - no matter how messy and ordinary it seems today. It is only when God's people begin to see one another as the Lord sees them that they will truly find a place to belong.

Sadly, got the job done but it cost me 1 credit.
I own this book as a hard copy but misplaced it and needed to get through two chapters via this recording. The reader didn't seem to grasp the concepts, let alone the importance of the message being taught by the author as she read. It sounded more like she was reading a book to a wall or to a computer rather than to a human being who was list intently to what was being said.
There were times where the reader sounded almost robotic as her voice tended toward similar voice intonation when reading lines that repeated phrases or words.
I am giving one whole star because I have heard worse recordings. If this happens to be some sort of AI voice recording, and NOT and actual human doing the reading - it ought to be clearly stated on Audible for the purchaser.

Great Book; Unpleasant Narration
Our women’s group at church is reading this book together. I was looking forward to listening to the book while doing things around the house or when in the car. However, the way the narrator read the text was unlistenable to me. She uses an odd, childish “sing-song” quality, drawing out the end of each phrase that sounds like she is reading a story to preschoolers. I really found it distracting. I went back to the written page. The (written) book is fantastic though. What a great reminder of the beauty of God’s “ordinary” beloved and the beauty of “ordinary” gatherings of those beloved, all wrapped in scripture. A very good read (but frustrating listen). Read the book!!!
