Synopsis

In "The Reed of God," Caryll Houselander intricately weaves a tapestry of spiritual reflection and poetic prose, exploring the profound implications of Mary's life as the Mother of God. Houselander employs a lyrical style reminiscent of modernist and mystical writers, blending theological insight with personal narrative and impressionist imagery. The book situates itself within the broader context of 20th-century spirituality, where Houselander seeks to reconcile complex theological concepts with everyday human experiences, emphasizing the innate divinity in each individual's journey towards God. Caryll Houselander (1901-1954), a British artist and mystic, drew upon her experiences of suffering and creativity, shaped by the tumult of the two World Wars. Her deep Catholic faith and her struggles with illness profoundly influenced her writings. Houselander's background in art and her mystical tendencies imbue her work with a unique perspective, urging readers to find beauty and divinity in the ordinary and the marginalized. This book is an essential read for those drawn to spiritual literature and seeking a deeper understanding of Mary's role in the divine narrative. Houselander's penetrating insights provide readers with an invitation to contemplate their own spiritual lives, making "The Reed of God" a timeless source of inspiration.

The Story of Abortion in America...

Marvin Olasky, Leah Savas

Tracing the History of Abortion in America by Looking beyond the Laws to the Dramatic Stories and Colorful Personalities of the People They Touched
Fifty years ago, the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision to legalize abortion-on-demand sparked nationwide tensions that continue to this day. In the decades since that ruling, abortion opponents and proponents have descended on the Capitol each year for marches and protests. But this story didn't begin with the Supreme Court in the 1970s; arguments about abortion have been a part of American history since the 17th century. So how did we get here?
The Story of Abortion in America traces the long cultural history of this pressing issue from 1652 to today, focusing on the street-level activities of those drawn into the battles willingly or unwillingly. Authors Marvin Olasky and Leah Savas show complex lives on both sides: Some sacrificed much to help the poor and others sacrificed the helpless to empower themselves. The Story of Abortion in America argues that whatever happens legally won't end the debate, but it will affect lives. 

- A Fair Survey of the History of the Debate: Opening with a foreword by renowned social conservative thinker Robert P. George, this book explores historic cases and key cultural moments from 1652 to 2022
- Examines 5 Selling Points Used by Each Side in Different Eras: Anatomy, Bible, Community, Danger, and Enforcement
- Chronicles the History of Abortion through Personal Narratives: Includes the memorable stories of Isaac Hathaway, Susan Warren, Elizabeth Lumbrozo, John McDowell, Hugh Hodge, Madame Restell, Augustus St. Clair, Inez Burns, Robert Dickinson, Sherri Finkbine, Henry Hyde, John Piper, Lila Rose, Terrisa Bukovinac, Mark Lee Dickson, and many others
- Written for a Diverse Audience: While particularly useful for Christians who want to understand the history of abortion and its impact on American politics and culture, the book speaks to anyone who cares about abortion

Shame - Being Known and Loved...

Esther Liu

Becoming Brave - Stunning...

Eric Ludy, Leslie Ludy

As Christians we are presently vulnerable. Every day our ancient foe the devil is seeking to invade our souls with his voice of doom, and many of us are susceptible to this voice, because we haven’t ever been taught how to shoo it away — how to resist it. As Christians we are both designed and empowered to be doom-proofed — to be able to repel all the fiery darts of bad news, gloomy projections, and portending destruction. And this doom-proofing is called bravery. It starts on the inside of a believer and works its way out unto valiant actions, so that the Christian can face any crisis — big or small — with a smile, a song, and stunning composure. 
This is an Ellerslie Live Teaching Series from Eric and Leslie Ludy. When you purchase this audiobook, it comes with an accompanying PDF of the message notes.
