This Dangerous Book

Amazon
Written by Steve Green and Jackie Green
Published: November 2017
Reader: Henry O. Arnold

 

It is the top selling book in history. It brings social upheaval, international arguments, and political controversy. It has been used to justify both love and war. And for generations, it has found its way into the hearts of millions, offering comfort, direction, and life-changing truths.

How could one book have such power? In This Dangerous Book, Steve and Jackie Green explore the incredible history and impact of the Bible. As the founders and visionaries of the Museum of the Bible in Washington D.C., the Greens have a unique perspective on the Bible’s journey—from its ancient beginnings, to its effect on the moral fiber of nations, to its transformative influence in individual hearts.

The Greens share the challenges they have faced in acquiring biblical artifacts from around the world and why generations—in every time period and in every geographical location—have risked their lives to preserve this precious book.

Exploring ancient tablets, medieval commentaries, and modern translations, This Dangerous Book offers fascinating insight into the miracles and martyrdoms that have led to the Scriptures we read today. The Greens explore how cutting-edge technology gives new insight into the authenticity of the Bible, including the work of fifty scholars who recently uncovered hidden details about thirteen unpublished Dead Sea Scroll fragments. This Dangerous Book also looks at the link between the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament, what we can learn from how the Bible was passed down to us, and why God’s Word is foundational to America’s past and crucial for its future.

The Bible is a world-changer and a heart-changer. Whether you have read the Bible for years or are simply curious about its influence, This Dangerous Book could change your heart as well.

A Crazy Holy Grace

AmazonWritten by Frederick Buechner
Published: October 2017
Reader: Henry O. Arnold

When pain is real, why is God silent?

Frederick Buechner has grappled with the nature of pain, grief, and grace ever since his father committed suicide when Buechner was a young boy. He continued that search as a father when his daughter struggled with anorexia. In this essential collection of essays, including one never before published, Frederick Buechner finds that the God who might seem so silent is ever near. He writes about what it means to be a steward of our pain, and about this grace from God that seems arbitrary and yet draws us to his holiness and care. Finally, he writes about the magic of memory and how it can close up the old wounds with the memories of past goodnesses and graces from God.

Here now are the best of Buechner’s writings on pain and loss, covering such topics as the power of hidden secrets, loss of a dearly beloved, letting go, resurrection from the ruins, peace, and listening for the quiet voice of God. And he reveals that pain and sorrow can be a treasure – an amazing grace.

Buechner says that loss will come to all of us, but he writes that we are not alone. Crazy and unreal as it may sometimes seem, God’s holy, healing grace is always present and available if we are still enough to receive it.

The Remarkable Ordinary

AmazonWritten by Frederick Buechner
Published: October 2017
Reader: Henry O. Arnold

 

Your remarkable life is happening right here, right now. You may not be able to see it – your life may seem predictable and your work insignificant until you look at your life as Frederick Buechner does.

Based on a series of mostly unpublished lectures, Frederick Buechner reveals how to stop, look, and listen to your life. He reflects on how both art and faith teach us how to pay attention to the remarkableness right in front of us, to watch for the greatness in the ordinary, and to use our imaginations to see the greatness in others and love them well.

As you learn to listen to your life and what God is doing in it, you will uncover the plot of your life’s story and the sacred opportunity to connect with the divine in each moment.

The Vision: The Call

Amazon
Written by Rick Joyner
Published: August 2017
Reader: Henry O. Arnold

The Call is now available as an audiobook. Rick Joyner’s gripping vision of heaven will challenge listeners to take their callings seriously.

The Call is a continuation of Rick Joyner’s extraordinary vision of heaven, first recounted in The Final Quest. Available as an audiobook for the first time, The Call is a dynamic chronicle of Rick Joyner’s encounters designed to challenge every believer to live a life worthy of his or her calling.

“And it shall be in the last days,” God says, “that I will pour forth of My Spirit upon all mankind” (Acts 2:17 NKJV).

As we enter the last days, we will see an increase in dreams, visions, and prophecy among the young and old to prepare the church for the glorious appearing of the Lord. The saints of old longed to see what this generation will be privileged to see. We must therefore take our calling that much more serious, knowing we will one day bow before the great King.

The Call is a sober challenge to Christians around the world to live out the truth with which they have been entrusted. It is a call to sacrifice and to do all things for the sake of the gospel. The darkness will soon be over, and the day of our Lord will dawn. Now is the time for us to take a stand against the great darkness for the sake of the light.

The Vision: The Final Quest

AmazonWritten by Rick Joyner
Published: August 2017
Reader: Henry O. Arnold

 

The Final Quest is in audio for the first time, bringing to life Rick Joyner’s epic journey!

In the mid-1990s, Rick Joyner received a prophetic vision of the ultimate clash between the forces of good and evil. His panoramic experience became the bestselling book The Final Quest.

Now, for the first time, The Final Quest is available as an audiobook, bringing to life the epic journey fans have only read about. Let your heart and mind follow professional narrator Henry O. Arnold as he leads listeners on an unprecedented journey, scaling the Mountain of the Lord.

Guided by Wisdom, Joyner’s adventure begins on a grim battlefield, where the hordes of hell wreak havoc. As he learns the right way to fight alongside his fellow soldiers, he progressively weaves his way up the side of the mountain, discovering a new spiritual principle at every level.

Shocked by a number of surprises along the way, Joyner eventually makes his way through the ranks of heaven where he receives valuable spiritual wisdom from heroes of the faith who have finished their race.

The Final Quest offers both a warning and an encouragement to the faithful followers of Jesus. We must remain sober about our enemy and do everything we can to help prepare our brothers and sisters. And we must always remember we serve a loving God who gave Himself for us and is calling us to do the same.

Bigger, Faster Leadership

AmazonWritten by Sam Chand
Published: June 13, 2017
Reader: Henry O. Arnold

 

Renowned leadership consultant, Samuel R. Chand details the account of the construction of the Panama Canal, and draws parallels between it and successful leadership methodology.

“More passion isn’t the answer, and bigger dreams aren’t always the solution. Every leader is asking two questions: How can we grow? How can we grow faster? The only way organizations can grow bigger and move faster is by accelerating the excellence of their systems and structures.”

—from Bigger Faster Leadership: Lessons from the Builders of the Panama Canal

An epiphany during a visit to the Panama Canal led Sam Chand—one of the country’s most respected voices on ministry and marketplace leadership—to bold new insights on the life cycles of business or church organizations.
