Summary

In 'The Dolorous Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ,' Anne Catherine Emmerich presents an evocative and deeply moving account of the final hours of Jesus Christ, intertwining rich theological insights with vivid visual imagery. Written in an epistolary style, the text is both a mystical reflection and a dramatic retelling of Christ's suffering, rooted in Emmerich's own profound mystical experiences. The book situates itself within the broader context of 19th-century Catholic spirituality, echoing the fervent devotion of the time while inviting readers to contemplate the magnitude of Christ's sacrifice with both reverence and empathy. Anne Catherine Emmerich, a German Augustinian nun and mystic, was renowned for her extraordinary visions that articulated the Passion of Christ in great detail. Influenced by her own life of suffering and her contemplative practices, Emmerich's work reflects her desire to deepen the faith of others through her vivid theological insights. Her evocative portrayals of biblical events are often considered divine revelations, making her narratives both profoundly personal and universally resonant. This book is highly recommended for scholars, theologians, and lay readers alike who seek to enrich their understanding of Christ's Passion. Emmerich's visceral storytelling powerfully illuminates the depths of human suffering and divine love, making her work an essential read for anyone interested in exploring the intersection of faith and suffering in Christianity.

    If the past few years have taught us anything, it's that by and large the church has failed women. From sexual abuse scandals involving high-profile pastors, to decades-long systemic cover-ups of sexual harassment and mistreatment, to harmful theology that has driven women to leave the church and find community elsewhere, it's clear that something is broken. If we want to fix it, it's time we start listening. 
 
 
 
Drawing on new, firsthand research and in-depth interviews, Safe Church allows women to voice the pain they have suffered at the hands of insecure leaders who were often unaware of how their words, actions, and attitudes were harming their sisters in Christ. With practical advice on how to create more equity and less sexism and abuse in the church, this honest look at how misogyny masquerades as biblical truth is a vital resource for pastors, church leaders, and anyone who wants to make a meaningful difference in their own Christian community.

    You don't have to perform anymore. You are hidden in Christ and need nobody's favor. 
We live in a world that tells you that visibility is value, that recognition is your greatest reward. Even though we know it's empty, so many of us are enslaved to this culture of performance and people-pleasing, earthly accolades and social media likes.  
As a former actor, Allison Allen knows what it's like to feel like she had to perform—not only for others, but even for God's favor. 
In this audio Bible study, you're invited to let go of the pressure you feel and lean into the freedom of your inherent value in Christ. Throughout these sessions, you'll spend time in the forgotten corners of Scripture and get to know some of the most hidden, least remembered people in the Bible. 
What do they have to tell us about a life that doesn't seek to be seen? 
The Audio Bible Studies series provides a unique audio learning experience. Unlike a traditional audiobook's direct narration of a book's text, this audio Bible study includes high-quality, live audio sessions from the author that cover important Bible-based topics. These sessions will reflect the ambiance of the unique recording locations, immersing the listener into the teaching. While not required for the audio experience, these studies are designed to partner with the coordinating study guide, sold separately.
