C. Peter Wagner

This has left the dominion mandate that Jesus imparted to all believers woefully unfulfilled. Dr. C. Peter Wagner understood that the reformation of society was never intended to come through man's ideas and agendas; it could only be achieved through bold, empowered believers, intentional about reforming their culture through Kingdom principles and vision. The strategic keys and revelation Dr. Wagner presents in Dominion! are perhaps more relevant today than when he first penned them. A collection of the original book release and its revised edition, this new edition of Dominion! features Dr. Wagner's helpful perspective on theocracy and the tragic misunderstanding of dominion theology.

Not That Wheel Jesus! - Stories...

Mary Katherine Backstrom

From the bestselling author of Holy Hot Mess, a laugh-out-loud look at what happens when life goes a direction we didn't expect and we are forced to reconsider the beliefs, assumptions, and stories that have always steered our course.  Mary Katherine Backstrom grew up the most basic of all youth group kids—pH level 14—and her faith only grew as she led youth ministry, served as a missionary, and went on to become a bestselling Christian author. She knew all the practiced, perfect Sunday school answers and was driving happily down the straight and narrow, until one day her young son asked a simple question: will my Jewish best friend go to hell? In the months and years that followed, that single question continued to snowball. MK challenged and reconsidered every part of the faith she’d been raised to accept so completely. Not That Wheel, Jesus! is Mary Katherine’s hilarious journey from certainty to doubt to going nuclear on the socials (“it was my heresy era”), and then of slowly and painfully finding her way back to a different, less defined faith. It’s the heartfelt and achingly honest story of a spirituality that went off the road and crashed and burned in spectacular fashion, right before God and everybody. And then, slowly, through grace and plenty of therapy, grew richer and deeper than she ever could have imagined.

True Magic

Raphael Terra

This audiobook has been recorded using Text to speech (TTS). 
 
From the very beginning, mankind has been fascinated with the world of the occult – the unseen. From the first cave paintings to the Bible, magic can be found everywhere. From secret societies to Victorian occult spiritualists, from influential masters of the black arts to Disney films, Magic holds a spell over us. 
 
But what is magic? 
 
Magic is not the trickery of a conjurer. True magic is much more. True magic is the focus on the mystical world, the non-material world, the strange and wonderful. True magic explains the inexplicable. It is revelation beyond science and logic. True magic will make you question reality itself. In fact it will show you reality and help you understand that you have been living in a false world all along. 
 
If you seek answers to the big questions of conscious existence then you need to enter the realm of real magic. If you wish to understand the mysteries of the universe, then you need magic.
