The Martyr's Oath: Living for the Jesus They're Willing to Die For , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 316min
Be inspired by amazing eyewitness stories of hope and courage from the persecuted church Are we witnessing an astonishing escalation in Christian persecution like we have rarely seen since the first century? Some say that every five minutes, a Christian is martyred for his or her faith. Countries like Egypt have allegedly experienced more Christian persecution in the last five years than in the previous 600 years combined. And who could have missed the atrocities of ISIS in Syria, Boko Haram in Nigeria, and the continued persecution of Christians in North Korea? Johnnie Moore, like many American Christians, didn't fully appreciate the extent of what was going on - until he witnessed the graduation of theology students in India. Unlike graduation ceremonies in America - where feel-good speeches made by visiting celebrities are common - this one featured a remarkable oath. It wasn't an oath to excel or succeed. It was an oath to be willing to die, if necessary, for the cause of Christ. This was no empty promise. This was a choice, choosing the eternal over the temporal. Johnnie knew he was witnessing a raw, first-century Christianity that his comfortable American version had shielded him from. "For the first time, I really understand my faith", says Johnnie Moore. Now, he's on a mission to give this same experience to others. He and his team have crisscrossed the world, recorders in hand, gathering eyewitness accounts from dozens of people who survived persecution - and the stories of some who didn't. Join Johnnie Moore on this compelling journey to the heart of the Christian faith. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Lyle Blaker.

Secret Power - Updated Edition: The Secret of Success in Christian Life and Work , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 199min
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believes in me, the works that I do he shall do also; and greater works than these shall he do because I go unto my Father. (John 14:12) No other power on earth can quicken a dead soul except the same power that raised the body of Jesus Christ out of Joseph's sepulcher. And if we want that power to quicken our friends who are dead in sin, we must look to God and not to man to do it. If we only look to ministers, if we only look to Christ's disciples to do this work, we shall be disappointed. But if we look to the Spirit of God and expect that power to come from Him and Him alone, then we shall honor the Spirit, and the Spirit will do His work. May God show us this truth. Have we been toiling all night? Let us throw our net on the right side; let us ask God to forgive our sins and anoint us with power from on high. But remember, He is not going to give this power to an impatient man; He is not going to give it to a selfish man. He will never give it to an ambitious man whose aim is selfish, until he is first emptied of himself - emptied of pride and all worldly thoughts. Let it be God's glory and not our own that we seek, and when we get to that point, the Lord will bless us for good. Then the measure of our blessing will be full. Do you know what heaven's measure is? Good measure, pressed down, and shaken together and running over. (Luke 6:38) ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Lyle Blaker.

Paul and His Team: What the Early Church Can Teach Us About Leadership and Influence , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 309min
What can we learn about leadership and influence from Paul? Most Christians know something of the Apostle Paul's life and ministry, but what about the incredible team of influencers he assembled and mobilized? Who were they, and how did Paul lead this team to accomplish God's purposes? Even more, what can we learn from their successes and failures, and how can we imitate their qualities? These are the questions that inspired Ryan Lokkesmoe, PhD, to write Paul and His Team. Like a church-ministry version of Team of Rivals, it reveals important principles about leadership and influence by showing how this early ministry team: Adapted to cultural, doctrinal, and interpersonal challenges Found common ground with their audiences Led baby believers toward maturity Stayed united despite differing opinions Equipped others for the work of the ministry Conducted their lives with self-discipline Built and maintained strategic partnerships Navigated sensitive cross-cultural situations Persisted through difficulty, frustration, and fractured relationships Persevered when ministry was discouraging Developed leaders to replace them Whether you are in a position of leadership or are simply a passionate follower of Christ, you are an influencer that God is using to build His church. And while Paul and His Team certainly reveals a lot about Paul's character as a leader, it also highlights both prominent and obscure members of his team to offer a textured portrait of the early church's influence in spreading the gospel. Let's learn from the men and women God used to build the church, letting them shape our leadership and influence as we continue their work. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Lyle Blaker.

Baptism of the Holy Spirit (Updated, Annotated): How to Receive this Promised Gift , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 109min
Have ye received the Holy Spirit since ye believed? (Acts 19:2)Scripture clearly separates being born again, the baptism of the Holy Spirit, and being filled with the Holy Spirit. These three are not lumped together as one in Scripture. Instead, they are presented as separate experiences for the Lord's people.Today, however, few people know exactly what the Scriptures say regarding the Holy Spirit, and the consequence is men trying to do things in their own strength. Sadder still is how one group denies the power of the Holy Spirit, while another group pursues the things of the Spirit more than they pursue Christ himself. Somewhere in the middle is the truth. This audiobook takes a close look at Scripture to see what the Lord himself tells us regarding his Holy Spirit and how it relates to us today.Chapters included in this audiobook: "What Is the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?""The Baptism with the Holy Spirit Is Necessary""How to Obtain the Baptism with the Holy Spirit""The Refilling with the Holy Spirit""How to Keep Spiritual Power"Original title: The Baptism with the Holy Spirit About the authorReuben Archer Torrey traveled all over the world leading evangelistic tours, preaching to the unsaved. It is believed that more than 100,000 were saved under his preaching. Torrey married Clara Smith in 1879, with whom he had five children. In 1908, he helped start the Montrose Bible Conference in Pennsylvania, which continues today. He became dean of the Bible Institute of Los Angeles (now Biola University) in 1912, and was the pastor of the Church of the Open Door in Los Angeles from 1915 to 1924. Torrey continued speaking all over the world and holding Bible conferences. He died in Asheville, North Carolina, on October 26, 1928. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Lyle Blaker.

Prevailing Prayer (Updated): A Thorough Study on the Subject of Prayer , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 229min
Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God, for unto thee will I pray. - Psalm 5:2 This book is a comprehensive study on the subject of prayer, and will show you that there are nine elements which are essential to true prayer. These elements are as follows: 1. Adoration - We cannot meet God on a level at the start. We must approach him as one far beyond our reach or sight. 2. Confession - Sin must be put out of the way. We cannot have any communion with God while there is any disobedience between us. 3. Restitution - We have to make amends for the wrong, wherever possible. 4. Thanksgiving - We must be thankful for what God has done for us already. 5. Forgiveness - We must forgive others and pull any root of bitterness that might be growing. 6. Unity - Loving one another brings power in prayer. 7. Faith - There must be faith, which the preceding things produce. 8. Petition - Thus influenced by the other things, we will be ready to offer direct petition, or requests, to God. There needs to be more petition in our prayers. 9. Submission - After all these, there must come submission. While praying, we must be ready to accept the will of God. Dwight Moody expounds on these nine elements in this volume, using illustrations and stories to validate what he is saying and to help make the truths in this book stick. About the Author Dwight L. Moody, determined to make a fortune, arrived in Chicago and started selling shoes. But Christ found him and his energies were redirected into full-time ministry. And what a ministry it was. Today, Moody's name still graces a church, a mission, a college, and more. Moody loved God and men, and the power of a love like that impacts generations." ungekürzt. Language: English.

The Milk Wagon , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 520min
The Milk Wagon is a 90,000-word John Hughes-meets-John Grisham coming-of-age thriller set in the 1980s involving four teenage boys, a down-on-her-luck FBI agent, and a series of murders related to a money laundering scandal that ties them all together.Matt Frazier, Jason “Hop” Hopkins, and Mark Ragone have been friends since elementary school. They played ball together, they hung out together, and they somehow managed to (mostly) work their way through the awkward years of junior high together. Now, they are finally starting to come into their own as they prepare to start their junior year, but on the first day of school, a new kid named Nate Mayes arrives and, with him, a secret.Nate appears to be polished, flush with cash, and looks to be a potential lady killer, but as the boys get to know him, they soon realize he also lacks certain social skills, is ill at ease in crowds, and has an air of naiveté about him that makes him hard to read. They soon discover that something terrible is going on at home with Nate’s father, Dr. Ford Mayes.FBI special agent Kathryn Cooper believes Dr. Mayes has personally had a hand in several deaths related to a money laundering scandal involving compounding pharmacies, dirty physicians, and the United States government. Her attempts to arrest him, however, have been foiled by an insider working both sides of the fence. With her career - and social life - suffering, agent Cooper turns to her new boyfriend, Chief of Police Rick Papania, to help her out, but he may not be the cure-all she imagined.After finding a piece of evidence that ties Dr. Mayes both to the money laundering investigation and the death of his mother some 14 years prior, Nate concocts a plan to get back at his dad, once and for all. He enlists Matt and his friends to help carry it out, with each making decisions that, individual and collectively, have unexpected and life-altering consequences for everyone. ungekürzt.

The Essentials of Prayer [Annotated, Updated Edition]: How Christians Ought to Pray , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 235min
New, updated, and annotated edition.And the very God of peace sanctify you completely, that your spirit, soul, and body be preserved whole without reprehension for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. (1 Thessalonians 5:23)Christians who pray well, who bring the largest things to pass, and who move God to do great things, are those who are entirely given over to God in their praying. God wants, and must have, all that there is in us. We must be wholehearted people through whom he can work out his purposes and plans concerning us. God must have us in our entirety. No double-minded people need apply. No vacillating person can be used. No person with a divided allegiance to God, the world, and self can do the praying that is needed. Holiness is wholeness, and so God wants holy people - wholehearted and true - for his service and for the work of praying.This book challenges the listener to first make sure he is ready to pray, and it also shows from Scripture when and how we ought to pray. E. M. Bounds examines the lack of prayer and its causes, but he also includes examples of answered prayer to give hope to those who feel like their prayers aren't being answered. Some may experience guilt for their lack and inconsistency of prayer, but sincere Christians will also be stirred in their heart to pray, and to pray well.About the authorEdward McKendree Bounds was born in Shelby County, Missouri, on August 15, 1835, and died on August 24, 1913, in Washington, Georgia.
