  A Burning House - Redeeming...

  Despite the civil rights progress he fought for and saw on the horizon in the 1950s and '60s, Martin Luther King Jr.—increasingly concerned by America's moral vision, admitted—"I've come to believe that we are integrating into a burning house." 
  In A Burning House, Brandon Washington contends that American Evangelicalism is a house ablaze: burning in the destructive fires of discrimination and injustice. The stain of segregation remains prevalent, not only in our national institutions, but also in our churches, and this has long tarnished the witness of Christianity and hampered our progress toward a Christ-like vision of Shalom—peace, justice, and wholeness—in the world. Common doctrine may unite black and white evangelicals, but rifts such as social ethics and cultural influences still separate us. 
  Throughout this challenging but reconciliatory book, Washington gives a historical and theological appraisal of American evangelicalism to understand how we came to be where we are and what our response should be. Instead of calling the movement to become something new, he challenges it to live into what it has always been in Christ and strive for deliberate and sacrificial integration—the unity of believers of all ethnicities. 
  A Burning House is a rallying call to a waning movement whose most public leaders have often turned a blind eye to, or even justified, the sin of racism—a movement whose theology is sometimes compromised by a secular anthropology. This is a call to both white and black evangelicals to better understand our past so that we can better embrace the unifying and comprehensive message of the gospel we preach.

  Ecclesiastes is one of the Ketuvim ("Writings") of the Hebrew Bible and one of the "Wisdom" books of the Christian Old Testament. The title commonly used in English is a Latin transliteration of the Greek translation of the Hebrew word קֹהֶלֶת (Kohelet, Koheleth, Qoheleth or Qohelet). An unnamed author introduces "The words of Kohelet, son of David, king in Jerusalem" (1:1) and does not use his own voice again until the final verses (12:9-14), where he gives his own thoughts and summarises the statements of Kohelet; the main body of the text is ascribed to Kohelet himself.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  Lessons From Nature: Finding Wisdom in the World Around Us is a collaboration between photographer Wadih Moussa and psychologist Dr. Valeria Ecaterina Purcia, blending the quiet beauty of nature with the clarity of psychological insight. 
  In the audiobook edition, each chapter begins with a brief description of a photograph—a still moment captured in nature—followed by a reflection on the life lesson it holds: the diligence of a bee, the endurance of a tree, the contentment of a bird. These stories invite the listener to slow down, pay attention, and discover how nature mirrors the values that ground and sustain us. 
  Adding depth to each chapter, Dr. Purcia draws on her experience as a psychologist, educator, and author to explore the emotional and mental dimensions of these natural lessons. Her contributions turn each entry into a practical meditation on resilience, self-awareness, and personal growth. 
  This audiobook is both contemplative and usable. It speaks to those who crave meaning in a noisy world, who want to reconnect with themselves, and who believe that nature still has something to teach us if we’re willing to listen. 
  Whether drawn by the imagery, the life lessons, or the psychological reflections, listeners will find here a quiet space for renewal. A place to pause. A path back to balance.

  Constructed from first person accounts from Union and Confederate officers and soldiers, this military history is perfect for Civil War buffs.    At Gettysburg on July 3, 1863, Confederate soldiers launched one of history’s most famous infantry assaults: Pickett's Charge. Using the participants’ own words, Richard Rollins deftly reconstructs that momentous event. Separate sections cover planning and preparation; the preliminary artillery barrage; the charges of Pickett's, Pettigrew's, and Trimble's Divisions; and defensive actions up and down the Federal line. From the generals who devised the assault to the lower-level officers and men who bravely walked through shell and shot, Rollins offers a comprehensive, panoramic view of the charge, with more than 150 firsthand accounts—including accounts from Lee, Longstreet, Pickett, Meade, and Hancock—many of them long forgotten and previously unpublished.
