The Almighty
Summary
The Almighty: God's Holy Attributes and Their Meaning for Your Life is a 30-day devotional drawing the listener back to the timeless truths of God’s character and nature; emphasizing the application of these rich truths into daily life. Most Christians hear and sing descriptions for God such as “holy”, “righteous”, and “omnipotent”, but the reality is these words hold little meaning. For most, it is difficult to grasp how God’s attributes are more than an abstract concept. This is so because of the fragmentation that has slid into the church’s teaching and discipleship. Instead of focusing on the splendor of God’s greatness and goodness - and the pure meditation upon these truths alone - our teaching and discipleship has gravitated toward a man-centered teaching; one that emphasizes principled Christian living with little to no thought upon God. Consequently, the church knows little about who God is and our faith is at risk of becoming about humanity. The Almighty: God’s Holy Attributes and Their Meaning for Your Life helps the listener connect seemingly esoteric concepts of God with principles for Christian living in a manner that is theological and refreshingly practical. The book also includes a supplemental chapter “Meditating on God’s Holy Attributes”, over 100 definitions and concepts, and 250-plus references for further study.

The Autobiography of David Crockett
Summary
Let me begin by saying I am passionate about history. I love the lifestyles of the bygone eras. I love how tough and yet how simple life was. Sleeping under the stars was a regular life for some. Traveling the lands was the life for others. The book you are about to listen to is in the public domain. And for that, I am thankful. That way, I can keep it as much to the original as possible. The English in which it is spoken might be tough to listen to, but I like it! It makes me feel as though Crockett is standing and speaking with me personally; I want that feel. I hope you feel the same when you listen to the audiobook. Well, I have said enough. I believe, now, with no further ado, I turn the floor over to Mr. Crockett.

Theodore Roosevelt: The Autobiography
Summary
"I am a presidential history buff or a nut, as my wife might say. I love reading about bygone times of Grover Cleveland, Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, and my favorite president of all is Theodore Roosevelt. Why Roosevelt you might ask. Well, to try and keep it simple, he was real - what you saw is what you got. I identify with him in a lot of ways. Allow me to explain. He was a big game hunter, yet he formed sanctuaries and parks for preservation. I can see that I don’t hunt personally but have friends that do and I don’t condemn them for it. I love animals and yet I would kill one if it meant my family was going to starve. He left office as secretary of the navy to join a fight against Spain. No one would ever do that, especially in our society today. Roosevelt was a cowboy, a boxer, a politician, a war hero, a father, a devoted husband, and most of all, a real human being. I hope you will listen to this book in his own words and get to know one of America's presidents, and I hope that you will come to appreciate him as much as I have." (Tim Simpson, 2019)
