Popular retreat leader and spiritual director Fr. Christopher Collins, SJ, says that if you turn your heart to God you will find clarity and spiritual peace.

    Marriage is the first institution that God created. For this reason, a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh (Genesis 2:24). Professor Z.T. Fomum has taught extensively on marriage, not only in special seminars on marriage but also on various occasions during his many trips in the Lord's service, in prayer nights, etc. In his own life, he has given a living example of marriage as it should be lived, viewed from God's perspective. 
    It was a constant burden for him that marriages should be godly and conform to God's will. He also knew that stable homes would bring stability in the local church and have a strong influence on the children for God and His service. 
    This audiobook is a compilation of some striking thoughts gathered from various encounters with Professor Fomum, during prayer or teaching meetings. He speaks as one backed by a rich personal experience, considering his knowledge of what God requires for marriage and his caring counselling of the married.

    A young girl preparing for her bat mitzvah discovers she has mysterious abilities in this magical contemporary coming-of-age story from the beloved author of Orphan Island. 
    Hi, whoever is reading this. I’m Zipporah Chava McConnell, but everyone calls me Zippy. 
    Things used to be simple—until a few weeks ago. Now my best friend, Bea, is acting funny; everyone at school thinks I’m weird; and my mom is making me start preparing for my bat mitzvah, even though we barely ever go to synagogue. In fact, the only thing that still seems to make sense is magic. 
    See, the thing is, I’m a witch. I’ve been casting spells since I was little. And even if no one else wants to believe in magic anymore, it’s always made sense to me, always felt true. But I was still shocked the day I found a strange red book at the library and somehow...I conjured something. A girl, actually. A beautiful girl with no memory, and wings like an angel. You probably don’t believe me, but I swear it’s the truth. 
    Miriam is like no one else I’ve ever met. She’s proof that magic is real. And, it’s hard to explain this part, but I just know that we’re connected. That means it’s up to me to help Miriam figure out what she is and where she came from. If I can do that, maybe everything else in my life will start to make sense too. 
    Anyway, it’s worth a try.

    Jesus the Holy Zealot by Holly Harlayne Roberts is a bold and transformative exploration of the historical Jesus—one that challenges long-held beliefs and uncovers powerful truths buried beneath centuries of tradition. Narrated with gripping clarity by Allen Donnelly and produced by Jack Lewis of Audiobook Publishing Services, this immersive audiobook blends meticulous research with cinematic sound design. With atmospheric background music woven throughout, the experience feels truly movie-like, bringing ancient history, conflict, and revelation dramatically to life. 
    In this groundbreaking work, Roberts argues that Jesus of Nazareth was not a passive spiritual teacher but a committed leader within the Zealot movement—a Jewish resistance fighting to free their people from brutal Roman oppression. Backed by historical, cultural, and linguistic evidence, the book reframes Jesus’ crucifixion as a political execution for insurrection, not a punishment for blasphemy. 
    Key revelations include: 
    A corrected reading of the Gospel of Mark, showing it was Pilate—not the Jewish crowd—who ordered the crucifixion. 
    Judas Iscariot reinterpreted as a loyal Zealot soldier rather than a traitor. 
    The disciples revealed as determined freedom fighters. 
    The second half exposes how the Roman Empire influenced the formation of the New Testament, altering passages to erase Jesus’ political mission and diminish the hope of uprising. 
    Jesus the Holy Zealot invites listeners to rethink everything they thought they knew about Jesus—His purpose, His followers, and the true motives behind His death. With cinematic depth and emotional resonance crafted by Jack Lewis, this audiobook offers a profound journey for anyone drawn to biblical history, religious studies, or revolutionary interpretations of ancient texts.
