Sinopsis

John Henry Newman's 'Callista' is a historical novel that delves into the tumultuous period of early Christianity, exploring themes of faith, conversion, and martyrdom. Written in a captivating narrative style, Newman skillfully weaves together historical facts with fictional characters to bring the ancient Roman world to life. The novel portrays the challenges faced by early Christians and their unwavering commitment to their beliefs, making it a poignant and insightful read for those interested in religious history and literature. Newman's elegant prose and attention to detail immerse the reader in a vivid portrayal of a pivotal moment in Western civilization. John Henry Newman, a prominent 19th-century theologian and Cardinal, drew inspiration from his own spiritual journey and commitment to the Catholic Church to write 'Callista.' His deep understanding of Christian theology and history shines through in the novel, offering readers a thoughtful and thought-provoking exploration of faith and divine grace. Newman's background as a scholar and religious leader lends authenticity and depth to the novel, making it a valuable contribution to both literature and religious studies. I highly recommend 'Callista' to readers seeking a compelling blend of historical accuracy and spiritual insight. Newman's masterful storytelling and profound exploration of religious themes make this novel a must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of faith, history, and literature.

    Dear friend, 
     
     
     
    We know it deeply. It is so hard to juggle work, home, and spiritual life. As working women, we've wrestled with tough questions: How can I be effective in my work, and stay committed to the Gospel? How can I be dedicated to my family, when my job is so demanding? Why am I working so hard, and still so unfulfilled? 
     
      
      
    Sound familiar? Like you, we see a culture that promotes success at all costs, and working women are falling for it. It's happening every day. Priorities are shifting. Things are getting done . . . but are we doing what matters most? 
     
     
     
    And that's why we wrote this book. This is the story of how we traded the lies of the world for the truth of our loving Father—the lessons we learned that challenged culture's "good things" so we could find the greatest thing. 
     
     
     
    The book you're about to listen to is really a conversation—a conversation that pushes back against our culture with a Gospel-centered approach to work and womanhood, for the glory of God and the good of others. 
     
     
     
    Let's get to work. His way.

    HOLY BIBLE - GENESIS: NEW LIVING TRANSLATION (NLT) The Holy Bible, New Living Translation, is an authoritative Bible translation, rendered faithfully into today’s English from the ancient texts by 90 leading Bible scholars. The NLT’s living language breathes life into even the most difficult-to-understand Bible passages—but even more powerful are stories of how people’s lives are changing as the words speak directly to their hearts.  The New Living Translation is perfect for every age and stage of life, allowing every member of the family to read the same text.   What method did the translators use in making the NLT?  The translators of the New Living Translation set out to render the message of the original texts of Scripture into clear, contemporary English. As they did so, they translated as simply and literally as possible when that approach yielded an accurate, clear, and natural English text. Many words and phrases were rendered literally and consistently into English, preserving essential literary and rhetorical devices, ancient metaphors, and word choices that give structure to the text and provide echoes of meaning from one passage to the next.  On the other hand, the translators rendered the message more dynamically when the literal rendering was hard to understand, was misleading, or yielded archaic or foreign wording. They clarified difficult metaphors and terms to aid in the reader’s understanding. The translators first struggled with the meaning of the words and phrases in the ancient context; then they rendered the message into clear, natural English. Their goal was to be both faithful to the ancient texts and eminently readable. The result is a translation that is both exegetically accurate and idiomatically powerful. More than 90 Bible scholars, along with a group of accomplished English stylists, worked closely together toward that goal. In the end, the NLT is the result of precise scholarship conveyed in living, contemporary language.

    Many people who knew Jesus understood him well enough to admire him, to respect him, and to love him. Others were terrified of him. Some of his own relatives said he was out of his mind. But the politically and religiously intolerant leaders of first-century Israel hated him. So they murdered him. But that wasn't the end of the story. Not by a long shot. Today, more than 20 centuries later, respected Bible scholars Dr. Charles Missler and Dr. William Welty bring Jesus of Nazareth to you in the most unconventional way possible...by bringing Jesus of Nazareth to talk in his very own words about himself, his purpose, his nature, and his mission. By the time you've finished listening to I, Jesus: an Autobiography, you'll have learned why this rabbi from Nazareth rose from literal obscurity - as well as from the grave - to change the very course of history.
