In the midst of folding laundry, coordinating carpool schedules, and breaking up fights, many parents get lost. Feeling pressure to do everything "right" and raise up "good" children, it's easy to lose sight of our ultimate purpose as parents in the quest for practical tips and guaranteed formulas.

In this book, award-winning author James K. A. Smith shows that who and what we worship fundamentally shape our hearts. And while we desire to shape culture, we are not often aware of how culture shapes us. We might not realize the ways our hearts are being taught to love rival gods instead of the One for whom we were made. Smith helps listeners recognize the formative power of culture and the transformative possibilities of Christian practices.

Since taking over TED in the early 2000s, Chris Anderson has shown how carefully crafted short talks can be the key to unlocking empathy, stirring excitement, spreading knowledge, and promoting a shared dream. Done right, a talk can electrify a room and transform an audience's worldview. Done right, a talk is more powerful than anything in written form.

2012 marks the 60th anniversary of the publication of C. S. Lewis’s classic, Mere Christianity. Having sold over half a million copies in the UK alone, his overview of Christianity has been imitated many times, but never outdone. Mere Christianity brings together Lewis’s legendary broadcasts from the war years; talks in which he set out simply to ‘"explain and defend the belief that has been common to nearly all Christians at all times."

Timothy Keller focuses on Jesus' best-known parable - the prodigal son - as a paradigm for the central messages of Christianity: grace, hope and salvation. In The Prodigal God, New York pastor Timothy Keller uses the story of the prodigal son to shine a light on the beautiful central message of Jesus: the gospel of grace, hope and salvation. Keller argues that the parable of the prodigal son, while Jesus' best-known parable, is also his least understood.

Publisher's Summary

"Be holy, for I am holy," commands God to His people. But holiness is something that is often missed in the Christian's daily life. According to Jerry Bridges, that's because we're not exactly sure what our part in holiness is. In The Pursuit of Holiness, he helps us see clearly just what we should rely on God to do-and what we should accept responsibility for ourselves. Whether you're continuing your pursuit of holiness or just beginning, the principles and guidelines in The Pursuit of Holiness will challenge you to obey God's command of holiness.

Read by a robot?

Content is okay, but the reading sounds a little strange and kind of like a robot or computer most of the time.

Terrible Narrator

How did the narrator detract from the book?

I love this book and have read it in print format before. I purchased it here to make reviewing it easier. The narrator's voice grates so badly that I cannot focus on the message he is reading. I neecd to pursue a refund on this one.

Excellent book

Thorough treatmemt on living a holy and righteous life the way God desires us to live. A subject greatly lacking in most churches and in most lives. Without holiness of life, no of us will see God.

Truth for the soul

This is a book that all Christians should have in their library. It is a very practical guide for what it means to follow Christ. I have listened to the entire recording 3x this week, and it has been such an encouragement to my walk.

Great topic!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, because the pursuit is important.

What did you like best about this story?

Jerry Bridges knows this topic well and is able to clearly explain it so that the reader understands holiness is for them too!

What does Arthur Morey bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Dryness...Mr. Morey does not sound interesting...very clinical.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No

Any additional comments?

It may be that with one or two more listens Mr. Morey's "sound" will improve.

First Class discussion and instruction on Holiness

As with all good teaching it prompts one to want to listen again to get the jewels of the authors teaching. I shall certainly be doing that and listening to the companion volume holiness in daily life
