Freedom from The Seven Deadly Sins Audiobook

"BFreedom From The Seven Deadly Sins is a concise yet powerful exploration of the human condition through the lens of Scripture. Originally adapted from Billy Graham's impactful radio sermons, the book dives deeply into the seven cardinal sins--pride, anger, envy, impurity, gluttony, laziness, and greed. Graham unpacks each sin with clarity and compassion, illustrating its damaging effects on individuals and society. The book doesn't just diagnose these spiritual maladies; it offers actionable steps, rooted in biblical wisdom, for overcoming these destructive patterns and embracing God's transformative grace. The resurgence of interest in topics like morality, spirituality, and self-help creates fertile ground for revisiting the concept of the seven deadly sins. Current trends reveal: - Moral Anxiety: In a world grappling with rapid cultural shifts, many seek a moral compass to navigate issues like greed, vanity, and anger. - Renewed Interest in Ancient Wisdom: Platforms like podcasts, blogs, and social media are reviving interest in traditional virtues and vices, often using secularized or philosophical approaches. - Mental Health Focus: Pride, envy, and anger frequently appear as underlying factors in discussions on anxiety, depression, and relational breakdowns. The book's straightforward, biblically grounded approach makes it accessible for a wide range of readers, but the deeper philosophical and theological reflections are likely to resonate more strongly with adults who are at a stage of life where they are engaging with their spiritual journey in a meaningful way. This book is perfect for: - Readers seeking spiritual growth and clarity amidst modern moral dilemmas. - Faith-based counselors and church leaders looking for discussion material. - Individuals who feel burdened by guilt and seek a redemptive path forward. By blending biblical truth with relatable insights, Freedom from The Seven Deadly Sins equips readers to break free from the snares of sin and step into the abundant life God desires for them. Billy Graham's approach uniquely combines timeless Christian principles with practical guidance, providing readers a hopeful and redemptive path forward. Freedom from The Seven Deadly Sins now includes a special Pray the Scriptures section with specially chosen verses to help readers overcome the grip of the seven deadly sins and find God's help and direction, along with the hope and freedom they need to live in peace. Scriptures for prayer and steps to peace with God can be found in the audiobook companion PDF download."

How to Lose Yourself: An Ancient Guide to Letting Go

"Inviting new translations of classical Buddhist texts about why the self is an illusion—and why giving it up can free us from suffering From self-realization and self-promotion to self-help and the selfie, the modern world encourages us to be self-obsessed. We are even told that finding ourselves is the key to happiness. Better to lose yourself! More than 2,500 years ago, the Buddha argued that the self is an illusion—and that our belief in it is the cause of most, if not all, of our suffering. How to Lose Yourself presents lively, accessible, and expert new translations of ancient Buddhist writings about the central, unique, and powerful Buddhist teaching of 'no-self.' Drawn from three important Buddhist traditions, these essential Indian, Tibetan, and Chinese writings provide a rich sampling of the ways Buddhist philosophers have understood the idea that we are selfless persons—and why this insight is so therapeutic. When we let go of the self, we are awakened to the presence of all things as they truly are, and we let go of the anxiety, fear, greed, and hatred that are the source of all suffering."

Ivy Touched and Bronze Blade [Dramatized Adaptation]: Honey and Ice 5

"'Ripped from the man I’m bound to. Thrust into fresh danger. And this time I must go alone. Except the task I’m burdened with should belong to a more powerful fae—my mother. Listening to her brought me to this moment of heartache and loss. Perhaps the time has come for a new approach, no matter the consequences. With my trusty gold bat, a tormented Aaden, and a potty-mouthed land kelpie for company, I have an oath to uphold before I can untangle the web of deceit and half-truths in this next quest. Because as it turns out, the child thief I defeated was merely a henchman of the master of darkness. And this master? He has another henchman. I barely survived the encounter with the child thief, and with drained bodies dropping from the sky, can I make sense of the magic and ribbons before humans, fae, and the very realms we live in are claimed? Failure has never been an option. Unfortunately, now it seems like the only one. If you adore Holly Black, Sarah J. Mass, or Elise Kova, you’ll love this fast-paced dive into realms where ten impossible things happen before mid-day and the odds are ever dire.

God Loves Sex: An Honest Conversation about Sexual Desire and Holiness

"We live in a sexually mad world where God's gift of sex has been distorted through pornography, promiscuity, prostitution, abuse, trafficking, and rape. The church's position has been made clear throughout history: all sexual activity outside the boundaries of Christian marriage is sin. But rarely has the church honestly addressed the true needs of Christians who are struggling with sexual desires they believe to be counter to the Bible. So we hide our struggles and pretend to live above the erotic fray, or else we cozy up to the culture's redefinition of which sins are acceptable. But what does the Bible really say about sexual desire and sexual intimacy? God Loves Sex offers a truly liberating, godly view of holy sensuality by recovering the clear meaning of the Song of Songs as God-sanctioned eroticism. Then it uses that lens to answer questions posed by a fictional new Christian struggling with expectations of sexual purity. It asks provocative questions, such as What does it mean to be both holy and filled with rich sexual desire? and How can our sexual struggles take us deeper into the purposes of God? Pairing psychological insight with sound biblical scholarship, Allender and Longman bring it all out into the open, allowing Christians of any age and any marital status to discover sex the way God meant it to be."
