    There are more than a hundred names for God used in the Bible. And each of them reveals something essential about his nature and character. 
    In this six-session audio Bible study, the authors of The Rock, The Road, and the Rabbi Kathie Lee Gifford and Rabbi Jason Sobel explore the meaning and importance of six different attributes of God—his creativity, his wisdom, his mercy, his power, his radiance, and his inclusivity of all people. 
    The God of His Word (part 2 of The God of the Way Study Series) will help you understand these attributes and how they apply to your life in a way that will change your faith and the way you think. 
    Sessions and run times:God of Creation (20:00)God of Mercy (19:30)God of Power (19:00)God of Wisdom (20:00)God of Light (21:00)God of All People (21:00) 
    The Audio Bible Studies series provides a unique audio learning experience. Unlike a traditional audiobook's direct narration of a book's text, this audio Bible study includes high-quality, live audio sessions from the author that cover important Bible-based topics. These sessions will reflect the ambiance of the unique recording locations, immersing the listener into the teaching. While not required for the audio experience, these studies are designed to partner with the coordinating study guide, sold separately.

    'We're not at parkrun any more,' I mutter to myself, quietly longing for the presence of nice marshals in high-visibility vests.
    Failure is an Option is the story of an average runner who sets out to discover just how far he can go. With the support (and misgivings) of his family, and aware that his quickest years are behind him, Matt Whyman leaves the Saturday morning 5K to push towards 100-mile ultramarathons and beyond. By slowing things down to run a very long way, he joins a growing number of men and women from all walks of life striving to do something extraordinary.
    A newcomer to a world that can often seem off-limits, Matt finds his feet as an ultrarunner by learning the hard way. He battles monster hallucinations on endurance races spanning day and night, loses himself on tantalising trails across landscapes far from home, and forges bonds with fellow competitors in which small, kind gestures mean more than any medal. Determined to touch the boundaries of his running world before it starts to shrink, ultimately Matt sets his sights on a six-day mountain ultra that even hardened veterans consider to be the most formidable on earth: the Dragon's Back Race.
    Brimming with good humour, honesty and joy, Failure is an Option pits ambition against ability to uncover human truths that resonate with us all. A mid-pack competitor who could win prizes for enthusiasm – if nothing else – Matt takes us on a journey far beyond his comfort zone and with no guaranteed outcome of success. The results are entertaining from start to finish, often very funny and at times deeply moving.

    Lilly was born into a loving family. Strong in faith, she played in the fields, woods, and on the river in the rural Midwest. It was a life people dream of, but not for Lilly. Her past and present world was split in two... one of fear and one of love. After giving birth to a son, those worlds could no longer remain parallel. She found herself with one foot weighted down in the hidden underworld of terror. The other was stuck on a merry-go-round of secrets. Secrets that could kill. She desperately needed to bring back a sense of normalcy, but the throat-grabbing, quiet fear she carried, had her imprisoned. 
    Can she fight the demons of her memory? Is she strong enough to survive this battlefield? Lilly is about to discover what happens when secrets are given a new life.
