  Hosea: Audio Lectures - 11...

  The Zondervan Biblical and Theological Lectures series provides a unique audio learning experience. Unlike a traditional audiobook's direct narration of a book's text, Hosea: Audio Lectures include high quality live-recordings of college-level lectures that cover the important points from each subject as well as relevant material from other sources. 
  Designed for the pastor and Bible student, Hosea: Audio Lectures, together with the accompanying text on Hosea from the Zondervan Exegetical Commentary on the Old Testament, brings to light the universal scope of God's sovereignty and mercy. With careful analysis and interpretation of the Hebrew text, professor and scholar Jerry Hwang traces the flow of argument in the book of Hosea, showing that how a biblical author says something is just as important as what they say. 
  More than any other Old Testament prophet, Hosea speaks of YHWH's covenant with his people as a family affair rather than a legal proceeding. Hosea’s personal experiences become living proof of YHWH's commitment to his people as well as the rest of creation. In the process, the book of Hosea testifies to how the dealings of YHWH with the tiny kingdoms of Samaria and Judah are nothing less than the fulcrum of history. In this video study, each lecture offers the main idea of the passage, its literary context and Hebrew structure, an explanation of the text, and its practical significance for both the original audience and for us today.

  Many American Christians have good intentions, working hard to welcome immigrants with hospitality and solidarity. But how can we do that in a way that empowers our immigrant neighbors rather than pushing them to the fringes of white-dominant culture and keeping them as outsiders? That's exactly the question Karen González explores in Beyond Welcome. 
   
   
   
  A Guatemalan immigrant, González draws from the Bible and her own experiences to examine why the traditional approach to immigration ministries and activism is at best incomplete and at worst harmful. By advocating for putting immigrants in the center of the conversation, González helps listeners grow in discipleship and recognize themselves in their immigrant neighbors. 
   
   
   
  Accessible to any Christian who is called to serve immigrants, this book equips listeners to take action to dismantle white supremacy and xenophobia in the church. They will emerge with new insight into our shared humanity and need for belonging and liberation.

  As a fourteen-year-old intent on living a “modern” life, the last thing Isobel Kuhn wanted to grow up to be was a missionary. But as it turned out, this young agnostic’s life was redirected―from crisis and doubt to hope and strength. Convinced that God wanted her to preach the gospel as a China Inland missionary, Isobel bravely served among the Lisu people in remote mountainous regions of China and Thailand. After twenty years of ministry Isobel returned to the United States, writing stirring stories of faith and inspiring generations of readers (1901–1957).

  Being Black in a society developed by white men to benefit white men means constantly pushing back against systems that were not constructed for your flourishing. White privilege. White cultural norms. White beauty standards. White noise. You're made to feel that your life doesn't matter, your opinions aren't valid, and your entire existence is too loud. It can feel like the whole world is telling you to shut up. 
   
   
   
  To these forces, Ally Henny is here to say, "No. I am a loud Black woman, and I won't shut up."

And she invites you to find your voice in a world that tries to silence you. 
   
   
   
  If you're tired of feeling silenced, misunderstood, and abused by society, you'll find here powerful words of liberation that will empower you to find—and use—your voice.

  GOD Is On YOUR Side - GOD Has...

  God Truly Is On YOUR Side – AND HE ALWAYS WILL BE: Facing Life- THE GOOD, THE BAD AND ALL OF ITS POSSIBILITES. 
  “The only thing that makes life unfair is the delusion that it SHOULD BE fair.” - 
  Dr. Steve Maraboli 
  You probably have already figured this out by now, but it seems life is anything BUT fair. All we seem to identify with right now is the sadness, tragedy, disappointment, pain, suffering, loss, confusion, grief and just then plain injustice and hatred we see and feel in life. All of these are a universal experience. Everyone has felt these painful and heart-breaking challenges life seems to offer up, and we just can not seem to see a way through all of this disappointment. 
  Well, here is an even more shocking element of life you may NOT have considered: Life is NOT meant to be FAIR! At the same time, life is NOT meant to be UNFAIR! Life is simply just that...LIFE! All the life has to offer is only one thing: To live the life you have been given. 
  The reality of life is there is a balance. There is a sunrise for every sunset, there is a day of rain and a day of sunshine, there is a spring to every winter, the tide comes in and the tide rolls out. For every day there is a night and for every death there is a birth. 
  In that balance, every sadness has a happiness, every tragedy has a joy, every disappointment has a success, every pain has a pleasure, every suffering has a comfort, every loss has a recovery, every confusion has a certainty, every grief has an elation, every injustice has justice, every hatred has love.
