Summary

Since creation's fall, suffering has been part of earthly life. At times, it can feel overwhelming, even for believers who trust in the Lord. The Suffering and the Christian Life series provides help and hope from Scripture for those who are suffering. 
In volume 2 of this series, Mark Talbot explores Scripture's account of the origin, spread, and eventual end of suffering, giving Christians the perspective they need to get through life's difficult times. He encourages readers to see themselves within the Bible's storyline (creation, rebellion, redemption, and consummation), finding the courage to endure and taking comfort that God is at work for their good.
Available since: 06/21/2022.
Print length: 240 pages.

    Holy Father Benedict, the father of monks in the West, is one of the greatest saints of the Church's illustrious halls of fame. His movement to become a hermit and found monasteries, writing the famous Rule of St. Benedict, was the decisive moment of monasticism's growth in the West, under the maxim of ora et labora, "prayer and work." His blessing caused a poisoned cup to shatter and a raven to swipe away poisoned bread; he miraculously saved someone from drowning, and he raised another from the dead. This is the story of the holiest monk of the West, the hero among religious founders. 
    The author of Saint Benedict: The Story of the Father of the Western Monks, Mary Fabyan Windeatt, was known as “the storyteller of the saints.” In the 1950s and 60s, she wrote over 20 historical fiction novels on the saints, bringing to life these holy men and women for young readers across the world. Sold individually or in a set of 20, these timeless classics have educated young men and women in virtue since their publication in the 1950s. All the stories tell the lives of saints in an engaging way, detailing their virtues, struggles, and countless adventures.

    Discover the astonishing journey of Mondo De La Vega in My Crazy Life: The Moments That Brought a Gangster to Grace. Step into a world where respect, power, and money lure a young man into the dark embrace of one of Los Angeles' most notorious Latino gangs. But behind the facade lies a haunting reality of crime, guns, and the constant threat of death or imprisonment. Mondo's life takes root in a turbulent childhood, filled with abuse and violence. Escaping his reproachful father in Central America, he, along with his sister and mother, seeks refuge in families' homes moving around from place to place in a small town in Central America, surviving undercover for over a year before their ultimate quest for freedom leads them to the brutal streets of Los Angeles. Driven by bitterness and anger, Mondo is pulled into one of the city' s most notorious gangs, climbing its ranks and facing an inevitable future of either imprisonment or an early grave. Yet amidst the darkness, Mondo's sister refuses to give up on him. With unyielding faith, she prays for a miracle and receives a prophetic word that seems impossible to Mondo— a word that will change everything. My Crazy Life is a gripping narrative much like the story of Nicky Cruz, as we see God interrupt Mondo's path with His relentless love and grace. Through supernatural encounters, miraculous escapes, and undeniable fulfilled prophecies, Mondo finds the strength to leave the gang behind and embrace a new life.

    Crossway Introduces the Collected Works of John Owen, Updated for Modern Readers
    Regarded as one of the greatest theologians in history, 17th-century pastor John Owen wrote extensively on holiness, Scripture, the Trinity, and ecclesiology. His classic works—which have inspired Christian thinkers including Charles Spurgeon, J. I. Packer, and John Piper—remain influential, but until now haven't been offered in an easy-to-read collection.
    The Complete Works of John Owen is a 40-volume series that brings together all of Owen's original theological writing, reformatted for modern readers. Volume 20 includes sermons that he delivered in the wake of a particularly tumultuous period in London that had witnessed plague and the Great Fire. Amid war and concerted attempts to suppress religious dissent, Owen proclaimed the power of the gospel, urging his community to take refuge in the Lord and live faithful lives of godliness. With extensive introductions by editor Martyn C. Cowan, this volume also includes outlines, footnotes, and other supporting resources.
    
    - Edited and Formatted for Modern Readers: Presents Owen's original writing, newly typeset with insightful introductions, outlines, text breaks, headings, and footnotes
    - Part of The Complete Works of John Owen: This collection, which includes material not previously published, will release 40 hardcover volumes over the next 6 years
    - Perfect for Churches and Schools: Written for students, pastors, theologians, and those interested in the work of John Owen

    How can all Christians claim to love and serve the same God and yet see and act in the world so differently? Texas attorney and writer Robert Callahan makes the case that white American Christians have failed to embody both their civic commitment to liberty and justice for all and their biblical call to love every neighbor as Christ loves us. In Fire in the Whole, Callahan explores the poignant journey of Christians who grapple with their sense of belonging within a faith tainted by toxic political ideologies—seeking healing for their souls. Boldly questioning the authenticity of individuals within the white Christian community who adhere to Christian nationalism or claim color-blind ignorance of racial injustice, this book navigates the complex modern Christian landscape, illuminating deep-rooted racial and religious rifts exacerbated by recent political figures and toxic theology. 
     
     
     
    Through compelling storytelling and analysis, Callahan provides meticulous research and heartfelt insights, drawing a roadmap for healing. Whether you are a Christian minority who is hurt and angry, a progressive white ally seeking understanding of what went wrong, or a conservative white Christian willing to engage in constructive dialogue to rebuild a fractured community, this book is a powerful guide to navigating the flames of righteous anger and emerging whole again.

    Meqabyan I–III is a new modern English translation with commentary of the three Books of Meqabyan from the Ethiopian biblical tradition. 
    These texts are not the Maccabees of the Greek canon and are not conventional historical accounts. Meqabyan confronts uncompromising themes: authority and rebellion, idolatry and faithfulness, martyrdom, judgment, and the resurrection of both soul and body. 
    For centuries, these books have remained largely inaccessible to Western readers, available only through fragmented, archaic, or poorly contextualized translations. This edition was created to address that gap. 
    Each chapter has been:translated into clear, modern, narrative Englishformatted in continuous prose for natural listeningpreserved in its original theological weight and toneaccompanied by thoughtful commentary designed to clarify the text without reshaping its meaning 
    The commentary is neither academic nor devotional. Its purpose is to guide modern listeners through the Ethiopian theological framework, symbolic language, and the internal logic of judgment, obedience, and resurrection. 
    This audiobook is ideal for listeners who:explore the Ethiopian biblical canonhave read The Book of Enoch and seek deeper contextare interested in apocryphal scripture with real theological substancevalue serious, coherent, and respectful editions of ancient texts 
    Meqabyan I–III is not casual listening. 
     It is a text that declares rather than comforts. 
    An essential work for anyone seeking to understand one of the most ancient and uncompromising biblical traditions.
