  Never Alone - Sharing the Gift...

  We have never been more connected—yet we have never felt more alone. Isolation is the great soul wound of our time. As Christians, we know that the church has a unique gift to offer a hurting world: communal life in Jesus. This gift has the power to heal our loneliness and isolation. It is good news for the lonely, the isolated, the struggling. So why does it often sound like bad news to those who need it most? Perhaps because we have misunderstood what the good news actually is—and how we ought to be sharing it. We have collapsed evangelism into offering a golden ticket to some postmortem destiny. But the goodness of the gospel we are called to share is about so much more: shalom, wholeness, and the peaceable kingdom of Christ breaking into the world. This is the gift of communal life in Jesus. A gift that re-ligaments us back together with God and one another.Never Alone unpacks how we can be spiritual guides who help people heal, love, and unleash imagination to create better lives and communities. We all can be instruments to bring healing and wholeness to people’s lives in today’s epidemic of loneliness and isolation.

  Thomas Aquinas is widely considered the greatest and most influential of Catholic theologians. Yet too often his insights into the nature of God and the meaning of life are seen as somehow cold, impersonal, and divorced from spirituality. In this award-winning book, Bishop Robert Barron shows how Aquinas’ profound understanding of the Christian mystical life animates and helps explain his writings on Jesus Christ, creation, God’s “strange” nature, and the human call to ecstasy. “When one interprets Thomas merely as a rationalist philosopher or theologian, one misses the burning heart of everything he wrote. Aquinas was a saint deeply in love with Jesus Christ, and the image of Christ pervades the entire edifice that is his philosophical, theological, and scriptural work. Above all, Thomas Aquinas was a consummate spiritual master, holding up the icon of the Word made flesh and inviting others into its transformative power.”

  🕯️ Wisdom isn't just intelligence, it's a way of life. 
  It's not a certificate, or sharp mental ability, or cleverness in speech. 
  True wisdom is when your heart is pure, your thoughts are clear, and your path is aligned with God's will. 
  In this unforgettable sermon, Pope Shenouda III, the former Coptic Orthodox Pope—called "The Golden Mouth" by many—explains the profound difference between being smart and being truly wise in the eyes of the Lord. 
  This English-translated message is especially prepared for: 
  Orthodox Christians raised outside the Middle East 
  Second and third-generation immigrants who may struggle with Arabic 
  All Christians worldwide who seek to grow in spiritual maturity, regardless of denomination 
  🔑 Key Topics in This Sermon: 
  The difference between intelligence and godly wisdom 
  The traits of a truly wise person in God's sight 
  How to live wisely both spiritually and practically 
  How to walk in God’s commandments with discernment and humility 
  📖 Biblical Anchors: 
  "Everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock." (Matthew 7:24) 
  "But everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand." (Matthew 7:26) 
  🧠 What’s the Difference Between Intelligence and Wisdom? 
  Intelligence understands quickly, analyzes fast, and may solve problems.

  The Challenge of Acts -...

  Read by the author. 
  A new and inviting introduction to the Acts of the Apostles from New Testament scholar and theologian N. T. Wright. 
  Acts is a substantial book. It sits right in the middle of the New Testament, looking back to the four Gospels and ahead to the mission of the early church. It provides a framework for our understanding of the letters; but it does more than that. Acts offers a sophisticated and nuanced view of what it means to think of the gospel of Jesus, Israel's Messiah, going out into the world over which Israel's Messiah claims the status of Lord. 
  This Christian movement and thinking, detailed in Acts, entailed confronting the wider culture of the Greek and Roman world, as well as the culture of the Jewish world, which provides us today with an important message as we ourselves face new questions about gospel and contemporary culture. 
  From the renowned author of Into the Heart of Romans, N. T. Wright brings to the book of Acts his expert's eye on theological nuance and cultural context, distilling it down into an introductory commentary, perfect for anyone looking to take their own reading a little deeper and discover the profound (and often forgotten) potential of the church and the Way of Jesus Christ. 
  Suggestions for further reading can be found in the audiobook companion PDF download.
