This is the 1956 version of New Testament Christianity by author JB Phillips. In this book Phillips examines the life of the Young Church (book of Acts) and the New Testament writers. He challenges the listeners to adopt the blazing certainty of the unconquerable fellowship displayed in the early Church. If the individual followers of today's modern Church would emulate their radical faith, hope, love, and peace our world would truly be fragrant with the "aroma of Christ".

If you want to discover your true identity as a child of God and how to start living out your true purpose, then keep reading! These days, we’re continually being bombarded by negative messages. They are so prevalent that sometimes the line between truth and lies gets blurred. It’s easy to slip into feeling “not good enough,” unloved, or even worthless. The truth is that you are a precious and priceless child of God! Even when you don’t feel like it’s true - it doesn’t change the fact that you are.

You know grace saved you. But do you actually believe it? Most of us live somewhere between two ditches. On one side, grace has been softened into a permission slip — a cosmic shrug that says God doesn't really care what you do. On the other side, grace has been hardened into a reward — something you earn by reading enough, praying enough, and performing well enough to keep God from being disappointed in you. Both versions are lies. And both will leave you exhausted or empty.

You've been told to "just have faith." But has anyone told you what faith actually is? Most of us carry a version of faith that was handed to us secondhand—believe hard enough and God will come through, never doubt or you're failing, close your eyes and jump. It sounds spiritual. But it's not biblical. And it falls apart the moment life gets heavy. Real Faith strips away the greeting-card theology and replaces it with what Scripture actually teaches: faith is not a feeling, not a quantity, and not blind.

Grace: The Long Work of Love is written for anyone who has failed, spiraled, embarrassed themselves, or wondered if they are beyond restoration. Not a lecture, but a hand extended, this audiobook confronts the exhausting cycle of shame and performance-driven faith that turns mistakes into identity and hiding into habit. With Scripture, pastoral tenderness, and unwavering honesty, Phillip J. McKinney invites listeners to draw a line in the sand, not a promise to never struggle again, but a decision to stop letting struggle define them.

Prayer is not an obligation to fulfill or a ritual to perform. It is an invitation into relationship with God, where connection, communion, and transformation take place. It is where we learn to hear His voice, receive His heart, and align our lives with His will. Through prayer, we are not only shaped inwardly but also positioned to partner with heaven outwardly. We become vessels through which God speaks, moves, and releases His purposes into the earth.

Some of the deepest questions of women's hearts are about beauty: an innate desire to decorate ourselves and our surroundings, and the struggle to feel beautiful. But these desires are often in direct conflict with values and beliefs that tell us fashion (or any form of creativity) is frivolous and vain, and may actually be a sin. Jeanette Johnson shares her personal journey and the stories of other women, examining how we can best explore our quest for beauty while still honoring our faith and personal values and being responsible consumers.
