Wurmbrand
Summary
On February 29, 1948, Richard Wurmbrand was arrested by the secret police. His crimes? Leading Christian worship and witnessing - both of which were illegal under the atheistic Communist regime of Romania. Richard spent 14 years in prison. He was tortured, beaten, and locked into a solitary confinement cell. Sabina Wurmbrand spent three years in a labor camp, nearly freezing to death as she and other prisoners worked on the Danube Canal. She was repeatedly told her husband had died behind bars. But Richard and Sabina Wurmbrand had an unshakable faith in Christ. Neither of them gave up hope, and neither of them would stop talking about Jesus. Now, for the first time, both sides of this amazing story are told in one audiobook. Wurmbrand tells of Richard and Sabina Wurmbrand, combining stories and research from the following books: The Pastor’s Wife, In God’s Underground, and Tortured for Christ. Your faith will be inspired as you go deep inside the darkest prison cells to see how the light of Christ continues to shine from the hearts of those totally committed to him.

Dios te tiene un plan
Summary
Necesitaba un cambio. A Hannah siempre le atrajo la idea de mudarse, conocer más personas, explorar otros ambientes. Después de romper con su novio se aventuró a un nuevo lugar y dejó atrás familia y amigos. Seguro ahí encontraría - con la compañía de Dios - lo que tanto anhelaba: éxito, fama, amor, felicidad. La sorpresa de la novedad pasó y Hannah regresó a su rutina: sentía que algo no estaba bien, que algo faltaba, y, sin notarlo, empezó a esconder esas angustias y se inventó una imagen lejos de la realidad. Poco a poco fue cayendo en una depresión tan profunda que los días se volvieron un sufrimiento total. Se vio obligada a buscarse a sí misma, a pedir ayuda para descubrir que no estaba sola, a privilegiar lo espiritual por encima de lo material, a comprometerse con los suyos y dejar de huir. Y lo más importante, entendió que Dios le tenía un plan, solo debía escucharlo. «Este libro es absolutamente brillante. Lo amarás y nunca serás el mismo luego de leerlo». (Alli Worthington, autora de Fierce Faith) Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.

One Soul at a Time
Summary
For more than five decades, Billy Graham (1918 to 2018) ranked as one of the most influential voices in the Christian world. Nearly 215 million people around the world heard him preach in person or through live electronic media, almost certainly more than any other person. For millions, Graham was less a preacher than a Protestant saint. While remaining orthodox at the core, over time, his approach on many issues became more irenic and progressive. And his preaching continued to resonate, propelled by his powerful promise of a second chance. Drawing on decades of research on Billy Graham and American evangelicalism, Grant Wacker has marshaled personal interviews, archival research, and never-before-published material from the Graham family and others to tell the remarkable story of one of the most celebrated Christians in American history. Where Wacker’s previous work on Graham America’s Pastor focused on the preacher’s relation to the nation’s culture, whereas One Soul at a Time offers a sweeping, easy-to-listen narrative of the life of the man himself.

John Calvin and His Passion for the Majesty of God
Summary
John Piper fires readers' passion for the centrality and supremacy of God by unfolding Calvin's exemplary zeal for the glory of God. God rests all too lightly on the church's mind in our time. Consequently, the self-saturation of his people has made God and his glory auxiliary, and his majesty has all but disappeared from the modern evangelical world. John Calvin saw a similar thing in his day, and it was at the root of his quarrel with Rome. Nothing mattered more to Calvin than the centrality, supremacy, and majesty of the glory of God. His aim, he wrote, was to "set before [man], as the prime motive of his existence, zeal to illustrate the glory of God" - a fitting banner over all of the great Reformer's life and work. "The essential meaning of Calvin's life and preaching", writes John Piper, "is that he recovered and embodied a passion for the absolute reality and majesty of God. Such is the aim and burden of this book as well. As Piper concisely unfolds this predominant theme in Calvin's life, he seeks to fire every Christian's passion for the centrality and supremacy of God, so that God's self-identification in Exodus 3 as "I am who I am" becomes the sun in our solar system too.

Maometto
Summary
Maometto, è stato il fondatore della religione islamica, meglio nota come Islam. Uomo carismatico e dalla grande forza spirituale, Maometto ebbe una vita avventurosa: orfano sin dalla più tenera età, lavorò duramente per raggiungere una posizione di stima e rispetto all'interno del suo clan. Era all'apice del successo, quando ricevette la rivelazione da parte di Allah. Maometto sentì un tale richiamo verso il suo Dio che cominciò a predicare la nuova religione monoteista senza sosta. Da allora tutto cambiò: Maometto passò dall'essere amato, all'essere perseguitato dai suoi stessi parenti. Eppure, con la forza della sua fede, egli riuscì a ispirare i suoi seguaci e a operare una vera e propria rivoluzione sociale. Non solo unificò un popolo ma diede vita a una religione che crebbe a dismisura, tanto da essere oggi il secondo credo più diffuso al mondo dopo quello cristiano. Questo AudioBook che fa parte della collana "Biografie Storiche" ripercorre la sua vita, ed è arricchito da testimonianze e contributi.

Unorthodox
Summary
Selten hat eine Autorin ihre Befreiung aus den Fesseln religiöser Extremisten so lebensnah, so ehrlich, so analytisch klug erzählt wie Deborah Feldman. Feldman wuchs in der ultra-orthodoxen, chassidischen Satmar-Gemeinde in Williamsburg, einem Stadtteil von New York, auf. Schon als Kind störte sie die strikte Unterwerfung unter die strengen Lebensgesetze der Sekte, die Ausgrenzung, die ärmliche Lebensweise und die Unterordnung der Frau. Ihr Gerechtigkeitsempfinden und ihr Wissenshunger haben sie angetrieben, ihren Alltag zu hinterfragen. In "Unorthodox" schildert Feldman das harte Leben in der Gemeinde, angefangen von den Kindertagen bis hin zu ihrer Zwangsehe. Und sie erzählt, wie sie den Mut fand, zusammen mit ihrem Sohn aus dieser Enge auszubrechen - hinein in eine ihr völlig unbekannte Welt. In deiner Audible-Bibliothek findest du für dieses Hörerlebnis eine PDF-Datei mit zusätzlichem Material.

Summary

His memoir In This World of Wonders opens a remarkable new window into the life and thoughts of this remarkable man. Compiled not as a complete life story but as a series of vignettes, Wolterstorff’s memoir moves from his humble beginnings in a tiny Minnesota village to his education at Calvin College and Harvard University to his career of teaching philosophy and writing books and to the experiences that prompted some of his writing - particularly, his witnessing of South African apartheid and Palestinian oppression firsthand. In This World of Wonders is the story of a thoughtful and grateful Christian whose life has been shaped by many loves - love of philosophy, love of family, love of art and architecture, love of nature and gardening, and more. It’s a lovely, wonderful story.

Lincoln's Battle with God
Summary
Abraham Lincoln is the most beloved of all US presidents. He freed the slaves, gave the world some of its most beautiful phrases, and redefined the meaning of America. He did all of this with wisdom, compassion, and wit. Yet, throughout his life, Lincoln fought with God. In his early years in Illinois, he rejected even the existence of God and became the village atheist. In time, this changed but still he wrestled with the truth of the Bible, preachers, doctrines, the will of God, the providence of God, and then, finally, God’s purposes in the Civil War. Still, on the day he was shot, Lincoln said he longed to go to Jerusalem to walk in the Savior’s steps. What had happened? What was the journey that took Abraham Lincoln from outspoken atheist to a man who yearned to walk in the footsteps of Christ? In this thrilling journey through a largely unknown part of American history, New York Times best-selling author Stephen Mansfield tells the richly textured story of Abraham Lincoln’s spiritual life and draws from it a meaning sure to inspire Americans today.

Warner Bros
Summary
Behind the scenes at the legendary Warner Brothers film studio, where four immigrant brothers transformed themselves into the moguls and masters of American fantasy Warner Bros charts the rise of an unpromising film studio from its shaky beginnings in the early 20th century through its ascent to the pinnacle of Hollywood influence and popularity. The Warner Brothers - Harry, Albert, Sam, and Jack - arrived in America as unschooled Jewish immigrants, yet they founded a studio that became the smartest, toughest, and most radical in all of Hollywood. David Thomson provides fascinating and original interpretations of Warner Brothers pictures from the pioneering talkie The Jazz Singer through black-and-white musicals, gangster movies, and such dramatic romances as Casablanca, East of Eden, and Bonnie and Clyde. He recounts the storied exploits of the studio's larger-than-life stars, among them Al Jolson, James Cagney, Bette Davis, Errol Flynn, Humphrey Bogart, James Dean, Doris Day, and Bugs Bunny. The Warner brothers' cultural impact was so profound, Thomson writes, that their studio became "one of the enterprises that helped us see there might be an American dream out there".

John Bunyan
Summary
Christian Encounters, a series of biographies from Thomas Nelson Publishers, highlights important lives from all ages and areas of the Church. Some are familiar faces. Others are unexpected guests. But all, through their relationships, struggles, prayers, and desires, uniquely illuminate our shared experience. The author of The Pilgrim's Progress, one of the most influential books in English literature, had little formal education. Born in 1628, the son of a tinker, John Bunyan was expected to follow in his father's footsteps. He was allowed to go to school for a few years and purchase a few books, but his apprenticeship in the family business took precedence. Bunyan experienced his first sorrow in adolescence, when both his mother and sister died. It wasn't his last. Revolutions and wars were all around him, and he was jailed twice for preaching the Gospel. Yet amidst repeated imprisonments, civil war, and violent persecution, Bunyan crafted The Pilgrim's Progress, a testament unlike any other to the triumph of the human spirit. His simple cadences transformed the language, and his memorable characters became familiar to millions. Bunyan became a public figure, a captivating speaker, and above all, a man known for his unrelenting trust in God.
