Epictetus, a Greek stoic and freed slave, ran a thriving philosophy school in Nicropolis in the early second century AD. His animated discussions were celebrated for their rhetorical wizardry and were written down by Arrian, his most famous pupil. Together with the Enchiridion, a manual of his main ideas, and the fragments collected here, The Discourses argue that happiness lies in learning to perceive exactly what is in our power to change and what is not, and in embracing our fate to live in harmony with god and nature.

Virtuosic in his use of literary forms, nurtured and unbounded by his identities as a Black man, a gay man, an intellectual, and a Southerner, Randall Kenan was known for his groundbreaking fiction. Less visible were his extraordinary nonfiction essays, published as introductions to anthologies and in small journals, revealing countless facets of Kenan's life and work. Flying under the radar, these writings were his most personal and autobiographical. Here too is his intellectual coming of age.

This audiobook is a condensed version of what Norman Grubb daringly called the Total Truth, and which he gave the last years of his life to spread to the Church. Beginning with God, the All in all, he takes the listener through the biblical basis for the Christian's union with Christ, the fallacy of having two natures, the difference between sin and temptation, how to operate as a truly liberated self, speaking the word of faith and intercession.

Many Christians mistake 'intercession' as a form of heightened prayer, but Norman Grubb corrects this misunderstanding in this short booklet. Intercession is, rather, the Great Intercessor, Christ, laying down His life that others may live through any willing vessels. Detailing the five great commissions of his life, the author explains the death-resurrection principle whereby 'death works in us, but life in you.
