This newer edition of the King James Bible published in 1769 is usually preferred by most that read it over the older 1611 version. This 1769 edition is highly sought after due to being more reader/listener friendly than the 1611 since many typos were fixed.... We hope your new audio bible will go everywhere with you and be a blessing for years to come.

The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

Story
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.

The Qur'an, believed by Muslims to be the word of God, was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad 1,400 years ago. It is the supreme authority in Islam and the living source of all Islamic teaching; it is a sacred text and a book of guidance that sets out the creed, rituals, ethics, and laws of the Islamic religion. It has been one of the most influential books in the history of literature. Recognized as the greatest literary masterpiece in Arabic, it has nevertheless remained difficult to understand in its English translations.

Thich Nhat Hanh acknowledges that because suffering can feel so bad, we try to run away from it or cover it up by consuming. We find something to eat or turn on the television. But unless we’re able to face our suffering, we can’t be present and available to life, and happiness will continue to elude us.

Story
The Didache (translated literally as ‘Teaching’) is an extensive and detailed Christian text dated by experts to around the first century, making it the oldest intact catechism. The Didache has been a source of great interest to devout Christians, theology students, and historians alike since its discovery and contains a great amount of information, rites, and references in connection to the Christian faith.

An excellent glimpse into the early Christian Church
My impression was that it was like listening to an extremely competent attorney making arguments in front of the U.S. Supreme Court.
I loved that St. Justin uses the language of his audience (the Emperor and Roman Senate) without betraying the Faith.

Fascinating
Listening to the words of Justin Martyr who lived in a time so close to Christ and the Apostles greatly reinforced Scripture and illuminated the anti-Christian struggles of the day. I couldn't help but make some comparisons to the culture of our day.

Overall good. Necessary reading to know what the early christians believed
Overall good. Wonderful to hear the beliefs from a non biblical source in AD 150 ish. The only issue with this audible is that the reading is often difficult to follow. I suspect this is because of a lack of punctuation in the original text, but it could have had more inflection to make it easier to follow and less monotone.

Fantastic
Best early church writing I’ve read yet. Mainly because he explains scripture, and describes the worship of the early church. Priceless.

A bit like listening to a defense by Apostle Paul
According to Justin, the Greeks were persecuting Christians on the grounds of false testimony. He defines who true Christians are by their virtues, as recognized by their keeping of the teachings of Christ, which Justin shared, so the governing authorities could see the benefit of Christians to their society. Justin argued that many of the characteristics attributed to Greek gods to be taken from Hebrew origin from Moses. He explains certain doctrines, like the Trinity, freedom of choice, judgement, conversion, washing, communion (Eucharist). This provided a great defense of the value of Christian lives to the Greeks, as well as the logic of Christian beliefs.
