    Far too many Christians are sitting on the doorstep of all that is available in Christ Jesus. They may know there is more, but they’ve yet to enter the doorway to experience it. When they hear the word “Gospel,” they either think of “salvation” or a bunch of information about how we can be forgiven and experience eternal life. But Scripture declares that there is far more to the Gospel!  
    In this series, Nathan Johnson explores different elements of the Gospel, revealing its depth, beauty, and life-transforming power. This stirring series will help you better understand the Gospel, not as more details to learn, but a reality to be experienced. Join Nathan as we discover the grand and glorious Gospel and why it is truly “Good News” for your life. 
    This is an Ellerslie Live Teaching Series from Nathan Johnson, recorded live in front of an audience. When you purchase this audiobook, it comes with an accompanying PDF of the message notes.

    There continue to be many questions concerning the "Rapture" of the Church and its apparent contrast with the "Second Coming" of Jesus Christ. Where does this strange view come from? Is the term "rapture" even in the Bible? Clearly, the idea of the Rapture can be considered the most preposterous belief in Biblical Christianity. The situation regarding the doctrine of the Rapture is painfully similar to the famous quote by Dr. Richard Feynman, speaking of quantum physics: "I think it is safe to say that no one understands quantum mechanics...in fact, it is often stated of all the theories proposed in this century, the silliest is quantum theory. Some say that the only thing that quantum theory has going for it, in fact, is that it is unquestionably correct."

    He cannot obtain his fortune without first obtaining a bride. Charlotte Clarke wants nothing more than to experience a London Season. But when she finds out she has to wait another year due to her sister's recent pregnancy, she is crushed. All is not lost as a letter arrives soon after summoning Charlotte to Danbury Hall to meet her new guardian, John Wilkins. With little choice but to go, she determines to contrive a way to convince her new guardian to take her to London in her sister's stead. John Wilkins spent the last four years running his family's plantation in the Caribbean. When he returns to England after his father's death, he learns that not only is he the guardian of his estranged cousin, but his father amended his will: John will not inherit anything until he marries or turns thirty. Eager to attend the Season and obtain a bride, he agrees to take Charlotte with him. Charlotte takes on the Season, searching for love while assisting Mr. Wilkins in finding a suitable bride. But what she doesn't count on is falling in love with him herself. A clean and wholesome Regency romance, Love in the Ballroom is the fifth book in the Women of Worth series. It can be read as a stand-alone romance, but is best enjoyed in proper order.

    This audiobook is the fifth in the series ''God sex and you." From an impeccable knowledge, understanding, and mastery of the Scriptures, the author, Professor Z.T. Fomum, argues convincingly that, as the king of the household, the prophet, and the priest of his wife, a man is solely responsible for the success of the marriage according to God's bidding. 
    The need arises for the husband to put his 'self' under control, to love his wife as Christ loved the Church, to have a supreme goal, and to pray and fast for her. 
    Every man is to love his wife using God's evaluation system in the Bible. Many marriages fail because the partners are using personal, traditional, customary, or modern evaluation systems. 
    This audiobook can make you wise onto salvaging and saving your marriage, for those who are married and providing a solid foundation for those who will marry one day.

    When St. Dominic founded the Order of Preachers in the thirteenth century, it was to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the world. Today, given the ever-widening gap between Christian tradition and secular culture, this task remains as relevant as ever—not only for the Dominicans but for every baptized Christian. Who will have the courage to go out into this gap and witness to the power of God’s love?   In Preachers at Prayer: Soundings in the Dominican Spiritual Tradition, priest and scholar Paul Murray presents four talks on the subjects of prayer, study, and preaching, highlighting the deep interconnectedness of all three aspects in the life of the preacher. Drawing on the timeless wisdom of the masters of the Dominican tradition, he demonstrates how conversion begins first in the soul of the evangelist, spreading outward from a heart on fire.
