Church production has become one of the most overlooked yet mission-critical areas for churches today. It’s either an afterthought or a full-blown panic attack. We see a concert or an Elevation livestream and immediately think one of two things: "Let’s just give up" or "We can totally do that!" without realizing we have exactly three volunteers and a budget that wouldn’t cover a single LED panel. If you’ve ever felt underqualified, underfunded, or just plain underwater trying to make Sunday happen, this audiobook is for you.

From the early church fathers, three foundational texts of faith and practice endure: the Didache, the Didascalia Apostolorum, and the Apostolic Tradition. Written to guide believers in worship, morality, and community life, these manuals reveal how the early Church understood the sacraments, prayer, charity, episcopal authority, and more. In these pages, Dear Reader, you will encounter the living heartbeat of apostolic Christianity—simple, disciplined, and aflame with reverence.

Bloomsbury presents Flirting with Evil by Ambrogio A. Caiani, read by Mark Elstob. The history of the Catholic Church in the twentieth century is one of spies, scandals and bad political choices. It’s a shadowy, ornate world of cover-ups and hidden motives. In this book, Ambrogio Caiani lifts...

Fire! Power! Glory! Excitement! Evangelists have it all! Jesus jump starts His evangelist’s hearts each day, keeping them on fire to save the lost. But what do evangelists really do? What pitfalls might they encounter and how could they avoid those? Are they out on their own, or do they submit to authority in the church? How does someone become an evangelist?

Humans were designed to live in Lordship, in unity under Christ. Every day, in every situation, we are called to animate life ever more creatively by serving, glorifying and enjoying God in imitation of Jesus. This is the purpose of people and who we are to our Creator. The opportunity to overcome all obstacles using the Holy Spirit’s power and the mind of Christ is the Scriptural promise and potential of discipleship.

In A Cowboy’s Bible Study, professional barrel racer and award-winning author Marci Powell teams up with World Champion bull rider and PBR co-founder Cody Custer to bring a study built for men who live under pressure.

[a.d. 205–240–265.] Alexandria continues to be the head of Christian learning. It is delightful to trace the hand of God from generation to generation, as from father to son, interposing for the perpetuity of the faith. We have already observed the continuity of the great Alexandrian school: how it arose, and how Pantænus begat Clement, and Clement begat Origen. So Origen begat Gregory, and so the Lord has provided for the spiritual generation of the Church’s teachers, age after age, from the beginning.

The Unflawed Leader is a fresh look at the ultimate leader Jesus Christ in real time. Gleason situates Jesus, the only perfect leader the world has ever seen, in challenging leadership scenarios all leaders face. The only difference is that Jesus brought no unresolved emotional issues, habits, hurts, hang-ups, baggage, scars, old wounds, or dysfunction to his leadership team. He never deceived, broke trust, pitched a fit, had a colossal meltdown, manipulated, betrayed confidence, or employed guilt-motivation to get his way. It was said of him that he did "all things well.

Ministers want and need to navigate the tension between being highly motivated and terminally driven. Far too many pastors, missionaries, and ministry leaders quit or coast because they have failed to discern between denying themselves and neglecting themselves. We all need rest, which is why God has generously sewn it into the fabric of our schedules already—the gift of Sabbath. Sabbath is not meant to slow us down; rather, it is meant to stop us for short periods for rest and refueling.

Being single does not mean that something is wrong. Singleness is not a problem that needs to be fixed. And yet, for so long, it has been treated that way. In the past, many churches have felt that the only way to include a single person into the fold of the church is to just get them married. This has often left single Christians feeling as if they don't belong, as if they can only find validation from a congregation if they find a spouse. Singleness is not an illness to cure, nor is it a brokenness that needs repair.

A Comprehensive Guide to Authentic FaithHave you been practicing religion without truly knowing Christ?

Does what we believe about how people become Christians change how the church does evangelism? In this concise book, Michael Lawrence explains the doctrine of conversion and helps us consider the relationship between what we believe about how people are saved and our approach to sharing the gospel in the context of the local church.

Have you ever felt like following Jesus meant trying harder, doing better, or figuring everything out on your own? Wondering why God sometimes feels distant? Have seen people make decisions in Jesus’ name that seem directly opposed to who Jesus is? You’re not alone. Many sincere believers, and even pastors and ministry leaders, experience church leadership burnout, spiritual exhaustion, or spiritual abuse that comes from carrying faith, decisions, and responsibility alone.
