Summary

This is a translation of the Kebra Nagast, a tremendous collection of Ethiopian Biblical folklore. The Kebra Nagast tells the legend of the Queen of Sheba's son by King Solomon, Menyelek (also known herein as Bayna-Lehkem and David II). Menyelek engineers a plot to take the Tabernacle of the Law of God (i.e., the Ark of the Covenant) to Ethiopia. This is done at the behest of an Angel of God who predicts the downfall of the kingdom of Solomon.
Comitted to writing in the fourteenth century, the Kebra Nagast was derived from Ethiopian oral traditions of the Queen of Sheba and her state marriage with Solomon. The Kebra Nagast has been cited as one of the sources of the Rastafarian movement because of its support of Ethiopian theocracy.
Available since: 08/30/2023.

    For anyone who thinks that comfort is equivalent to pity and that it is only priceless to those who need an emotional crutch, best-selling author Warren Wiersbe applies the words of the prophet Isaiah to prove that God's comfort is no such thing. The word comfort actually translates "to repent" in Hebrew; our English translation, however, adds another dimension to the word since it originated from two Latin words meaning "with strength." 
    With definitions and insights like this, the "pastor of pastors" and phenomenal author Warren Wiersbe continues to enliven the Scriptures as he weaves the words of Isaiah with historical explanations and thought-provoking questions for every chapter, creating a study guide that can be used in personal Bible study or with a group. With over 4 million copies of his "Be" series alone in circulation, he is a man who has given his life to a deep examination of the Word of God, to communicating it in such a way that the masses see its relevance for today.

    A mother's heart is shattered and forever changed when she loses a precious baby. The sorrow runs deep, the questions feel unanswerable, and the emptiness is overwhelming. Cradled in Hope is a Christ-centered book for grieving moms that offers real comfort, biblical truth, and compassionate guidance through the heartbreak of pregnancy and infant loss. 
     
     
     
    Ashley Opliger, host of the Cradled in Hope podcast, understands this pain intimately. When her daughter, Bridget, was born into Heaven at 24 weeks, Ashley wrestled with sadness, anger, and profound questions about God's goodness. But in the midst of her grief, she uncovered a tender truth: Jesus not only cradles our babies in Heaven—He also holds and heals our broken hearts here on earth. Ashley then founded Bridget's Cradles in her daughter's memory, a national nonprofit that donates knit and crocheted cradles to hospitals in all 50 states to lovingly hold stillborn babies. The ministry now comforts thousands of grieving families through these cradles, support groups, remembrance events, and online hope-filled resources. Through this calling, Ashley has witnessed firsthand how God brings beauty from brokenness and purpose from even the deepest pain. 
     
     
     
    With grace and vulnerability, Ashley guides heartbroken moms on a journey to trust Him to heal their hearts, restore their joy, and use their grief for good. Through raw honesty, heartfelt prayers, and Scripture-based encouragement, Cradled in Hope creates a sacred space for grieving moms to cry, ask why, feel the weight of their sadness, and begin to heal—not alone, but alongside Ashley, the Bridget's Cradles community, and the comforting presence of Jesus. If your arms feel painfully empty, Cradled in Hope will draw you to the embrace of Jesus—and remind you that through faith in Him, you'll spend eternity with your baby in Heaven.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Growing Up Spiritually is worth reading! It will bring you into realms of unprecedented fellowship with God and His Spirit. Whether in Africa, Australia, Asia, South America, Europe, North America or the USA, no Christian can outgrow the need for spiritual growth. If you and I think spiritual growth is only for those who just got born again yesterday, then we have missed it entirely. As long as God remains on the throne, we can’t outgrow Him in every way. Hence, the need for us to thirst and hunger for Him and to grow more and more in Christ Jesus. 
     
    Just because you are a prophet, pastor, teacher, apostle, or founder of some ministry, that does not exempt you from spiritual growth. However, if you think you have arrived at your spirituality and you don’t need to grow up, just know you are standing on dangerous ground. The Bible says in 1 Corinthians 10:12, “Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall.” Each time you think you know it all and you don’t need to grow up anymore, just know that is pride at work. Then, we already know that proud people never last long in the race of life.

    What picture does the Bible paint about the future? 
    Many Christians are scared, worried and anxious about the future. They are in a spiritual fog and are baffled by the many prophecies and events of the end times and what they mean. They really do not know that the Bible has much to say about that future; in fact, one-fourth of the Bible is about prophecy and end time events. This book will provide insight into questions such as the following: 
    How does the panorama of prophecies and events fit together?What are all the various viewpoints of the future?What is my place in the future?What is prophecy?Who are God's chosen people?What are the prophecies concerning Israel?Will I live again after death?Are there covenants between God and Israel?Biblical prophecy and end times - are they understandable? What does Christ say in the Olivet Discourse about the future?Where are we in the flow of God's Plan for Humankind?This book will challenge you, will help you understand Biblical prophecy and end times, and will bring you hope that the future is fully ordered and will occur in a specific sequence as described in the Bible. It will help you develop a solid foundation on the future of God's Plan for Humankind.
