  The First Epistle of Clement, written to the church in Corinth, is a must-read for every Christian because it offers one of the very earliest windows into how the Apostolic community sought to live out the teachings of Jesus in the generations immediately following the Resurrection. Penned around AD 95 by Clement, a leading elder of the church in Rome, it shows believers wrestling with real-world challenges—unity in the face of division, humility amid authority, repentance over complacency—and does so with a pastoral warmth that still speaks powerfully today.  
  1 Clement exhorts Christians to imitate the examples of Old Testament heroes like Moses and Elijah, to submit to godly leadership for the sake of harmony, and to pursue holiness in every aspect of life. Far more than a dry treatise, it pulses with the urgency of a faith tested by persecution and the hope of new life in Christ. Whether you’re exploring the roots of church order, seeking encouragement in conflict, or simply wanting to deepen your appreciation for the early “Apostolic Fathers,” 1 Clement remains a vital—and surprisingly contemporary—voice for believers.

  The world has changed. The changes around us present daunting challenges to the church, and we minister in places we have never been in before. But there are no one-size-fits-all solutions because every church needs to attend to its specific situation and calling. We need to listen for not only what to do but also what not to do. In a world screaming in a thousand directions for our focus, it's essential for us to become attentive to God, our congregation, and our community. 
   
   
   
  Kevin Ford and Jim Singleton call for attentive churches with attentive leaders who can discern cultural and organizational change and pivot accordingly. Healthy transformation starts with a posture of attention. We need to see what God is already doing in our midst: in our own soul, in our people, and in the communities and culture around us. Chapters explore key questions that attentive leaders ask and offer case studies of attentive churches that have navigated the issues and transitions facing them. As we practice habits of attention, God leads us through the highs and lows of change into the exciting adventure of being on mission with him.

  Attitudes to Life

  "As long as we have the delusion of an ego, we will have all sorts of attitudes, convictions and views, which are all thought-created. In fact, instead of having a direct experience of life in the present, we live in a world of thoughts of either the past or the future. We live by our memories, speculations and fears. 
   
  We miss so much of life by reproducing it second-hand in our mind. 
   
  But once we have realized our true nature by breaking through our protective shell, we will live in the present moment. All our bare attention will be given to the act without the assumption of an ego outside the act. That moment will fill the whole of our action—the whole of our sense-impressions: the seeing, the hearing, the smelling, the touching, the tasting, the knowing."

  Making Peace with What I Can’t...

  #1 New York Times bestselling author Lysa TerKeurst offers a life-giving alternative to the exhausting madness of trying to change people who don't want to be changed, prevent outcomes we fear, and manage things outside of our control. 
  It's not that we want to be controlling people; it's just that we want to prevent bad things from happening and bring stability to the chaos. Especially when we are afraid of what God seems to be allowing. So we come up with plans and get very intentional about trying to make everyone around us line up with what we really think is best. 
  We don't have bad motives. We're just desperate to prevent another hardship, more heartbreak, and all the emotional turmoil that feels so unnecessary. But this only leads to a counterfeit version of control where we believe everything depends on us--a crushing weight we were never meant to bear. 
  In this book, Lysa TerKeurst addresses the tension so many of us live in, where it seems like the Lord isn't paying attention and the only reasonable option is to take matters into our own hands. She shows us how to:Identify the core fears that fuel us to reach for control but only compound the chaos.Know when we're crossing the line from healthy responsibility into the dangerous territory of fear-driven control.Recognize specific tactics of the enemy that keep us in spiritual confusion (about God) fueled by emotional exhaustion (from the relentlessness of life).Stop allowing the decisions of others to rob our peace by learning what to do when we feel tempted to inappropriately intervene, rescue, or control the narrative.Wrestle honestly with the Lord about hard questions like, Why aren't You doing more to change this person or these circumstances? and I didn't see You do it then, so how do I know You'll do it now?

  Workship - How To Use Your Work...

  The Hebrew root word for ‘work’ is also the root word for ‘service’, particularly service to God in worship. By combining the two English words, ‘work’ and ‘worship’, I hope to challenge people to integrate their faith and work. Work does not just refer to what is done in paid employment. I believe God sees work as any purposeful activity requiring focus and effort. It could be housework, schoolwork, caring for children or parents, study, paid work, voluntary work, etc. 
  This book explores the biblical view of work, provides six spiritual disciplines to integrate faith and work, shares practical wisdom on how to make a difference in the workplace, and offers ideas to help churches better equip their congregations to live out their faith at work.

  This audiobook has been recorded using Text to speech (TTS). 
   
  Mankind has come a long way since he learned how to control fire. And yet now in the 21st century he has created more than fire, he has created chains to bind himself into a system whereby he passes on the control of his own life to others. 
   
  Businesses, religions, royalty’s and governments have all sought to gain power by having control over our mental and physical states. They have utilized our own nature to achieve this. And these powers joined forces into a secret cabal we call the Illuminati. They have created a true Matrix of deceit and we are all being manipulated. 
   
  From the market place to the school, all-manner of magical devices have been dreamed up to entice and entrap us. We have closed our eyes and minds to the truth of the system we are now part of. And because of this we are now totally unaware of the deceit in which we reside. In fact we even perpetuate it by repeating the propaganda of those in power. Almost everything we think and do is the result of illusion created by those in power. 
   
  It is time to unlock these secrets and find freedom.
