Is It God's Will? - Making Sense...

Brandon Ambrosino

In the wake of two foiled assassination attempts while Donald Trump was campaigning for President, many of his supporters claimed Trump's survival was an act of Divine intervention, and a sign that Trump was favored by God. In his victory speech, Trump alluded to this. But his survival prompts other questions: Why did God spare Trump, but not the retiree sitting behind him? Why couldn't God have spared everyone that day? And if God is truly omnipotent, why do so many children die in gun violence every year?To award-winning journalist and theologian Brandon Ambrosino, these mortal questions provide us with an opportunity to explore the great questions about Divine and human agency, especially in relation to human tragedy and a world that seems to be slipping into chaos. In this powerful and searching enquiry—in the vein of N. T. Wright and C. S. Lewis—Ambrosino argues that theologians have been poorly equipped to confront these questions, because many hang on to an omnipotent model of God. Exploring the daily tragedies that so many of us must contend—as well as a provocative and challenging reading of Christ's death and resurrection—Ambrosino provides us with the tools to understand and process grief but also presents a refreshing portrait of less a God of power, and more of one of persuasion, who can still provide a residue of hope in a world gone wrong.

Spiritual Lessons from Abe...

Eric Ludy

Abraham Lincoln lived during what was likely the darkest hour in America’s history. Though that may seem hard to believe for those of us that are alive today and witnessing the wasting away of the America we love, Antebellum America (as it has been referred to since the Civil War) was an age of great darkness, division, and violence.  
There are a thousand lessons that emerge out of this challenging time in our great history. But, it’s the spiritual lessons that Eric draws upon for this series. How can we as Christians in a day and age, not altogether that far removed from those Antebellum days, successfully navigate through our own civil derangements and spiritual and moral meltdowns to eternally impact an anti-Christian world for the glory of Jesus Christ? Buckle your spiritual seat belts as we head back to an age when hope seemed lost and the seeds for a great Civil War were beginning to sprout with devilish petals and poisonous thorns. 
This is an Ellerslie Live Teaching Series from Eric Ludy, recorded live in front of an audience. When you purchase this audiobook, it comes with an accompanying PDF of the message notes.

The Power of Prayer - Igniting...

George Mfula

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
Prayer is one of the most powerful weapons God has given the church today. I’m glad to say Jesus never taught His disciples how to sing or preach, but how to pray. That is because prayer is very important for destiny fulfilment. The lives of many people today got stopped because there was no one to pray for them. Prayer is a weapon of deliverance and dominion in times of battle. There are certain dimensions of breakthroughs you can never access without prayer. 
Get this book and learn how to be a prayer warrior in Christ Jesus!!
