There are many misconceptions about what it means to be humble. Some think that being humble means hiding your talents and abilities or being weak and inauthentic. But the Bible paints a different picture—defining humility as a self-forgetfulness leading to joy and explaining that it is a life-giving virtue that frees you from the restricting needs of your ego. In Humility: The Joy of Self-Forgetfulness, Gavin Ortlund encourages listeners that humility is not just an abstract virtue but a mark of gospel integrity.

Gentle and clear teaching on perhaps THE virtue!
Revisado: 12-15-24
Well reasoned explanation of the antidote of our central sin of pride. The explanation, firmly rooted in Scripture, are both simple and challenging. Dr. Ortlund’s personal strategies and habits are very helpful. Now, I must follow through, making changes to how I live to God’s glory.

As followers of Christ, we long to grow in godliness, but we often find ourselves stuck. Sin runs deep, we continue to fail, and we are easily tempted to give up. It doesn’t have to be that way.

For centuries, parasites have lived in nightmares, horror stories, and the darkest shadows of science. In Parasite Rex, Carl Zimmer takes listeners on a fantastic voyage into the secret universe of these extraordinary life forms that are not only among the most highly evolved on Earth, but make up the majority of life's diversity. Traveling from the steamy jungles of Costa Rica to the parasite-riddled war zone of southern Sudan, Zimmer introduces an array of amazing creatures that invade their hosts, prey on them from within, and control their behavior.

I am an old, retired money manager. A NYT review caught my eye. My family and friends think I have entered dementia as I retell details and occasion play an excerpt. The story is very compelling. My world has been expanded dramatically by Parasite Rex. The audio version has been a great diversion from politics and wars.

How do Bible passages written thousands of years ago apply to politics today? What can we learn from America's history of using the Bible in politics? How can we converse with people whose views differ from our own? In The Ballot and the Bible, Kaitlyn Schiess explores these questions and more. She unpacks examples of how Americans have connected the Bible to politics in the past, highlighting times it was applied well and times it was egregiously misused.

Humbling by Scripture!
Revisado: 04-27-24
The author’s deep dive into the histrical misuse of passages by dueling parties is both eye opening and humbling. The impact of our culture, circumstances, and biases leads all of us to grave errors in trying to seek self-supporting applications from the Word. A relatively small book that requires (and merits) much time, thought, and discussion. I highly recommend this book to all believers … and some non-believers. WOW!

By any standard, this is a classic of Christian theology. Composed by St. Athanasius in the fourth century, it expounds with simplicity the theological vision defended at the councils of Nicaea and Constantinople: that the Son of God himself became "fully human, so that we might become god."

A biblical, broad critique of social justice
Revisado: 01-16-22
Each of us who read or listen to this book will find specific comments that we take issue to. I encourage all of us to be aware of the scripture upon which the comments are based. Overall, the book, at least to me, is well balanced. The analysis of tribalism challenges the entire "political" spectrum. We should ALL look to the One who defines both justice and our individual responsibility to correct that injustice. Highly recommended.

In theology, just as in battle, some hills are worth dying on. But how do we know which ones? When should doctrine divide, and when should unity prevail? Pastor Gavin Ortlund makes the case that while all doctrines matter, some are more essential than others. He considers how and what to prioritize in doctrine and ministry, encouraging humility and grace along the way. Using four basic categories of doctrine in order of importance, this book helps new and seasoned church leaders alike wisely labor both to uphold doctrine and to preserve unity.

Broad brush on some matters, deep biblical and historical explanation of "hot" topics. Well done! Humility in all things, especially in the issues of doctrine. The unity of the Church was very important to Jesus and should be to His disciples (All Believers!).

This world is no friend to grace. God has given us some resources, however. As we grow in character qualities like hope, patience, repentance and joy, we ill grow in our ability to persevere. The biblical passages in these studies offer encouragement to continue in the path Christ has set forth for us.

Akin to a conversation with a wise uncle!
Revisado: 07-28-21
A wonderful and much needed journey through the Songs of Assents (Psalms 120-134), led gently by a gracious and scholarly shepherd. Many insights into the proper approach to scripture: read carefully, slowly, prayerfully, humbly, etc. Almost demands acquiring a hard copy to read, re-read, and pray through quietly and slowly. .

With the imagery of a poet and the reflection of a philosopher, David Whyte turns his attention to 52 ordinary words, each its own particular doorway into the underlying currents of human life. Beginning with "Alone" and closing with "Work", each chapter is a meditation on meaning and context, an invitation to shift and broaden our perspectives on the inevitable vicissitudes of life: pain and joy, honesty and anger, confession and vulnerability, the experience of feeling besieged and the desire to run away from it all.

Audible version great, but I need hard copy!
Revisado: 05-20-21
Audible allows the listener to be busy or just still whilst listening. The content covers an enormous breadth of subjects, epochs in our lives, and a host of emotional states. I will need to acquire to hard copy to be able to read, reread, and dwell on many intriguing lines and passages. The book lives up to its name as I felt somewhat consoled at the close of each chapter, and encouraged after several essays. I was very, very impressed with each essay and gave it 5 stars without hesitation.
