Story
The liturgical year, beginning on the first Sunday of Advent and carrying through the following November, is the year that sets out to attune the life of the Christian to the life of Jesus, the Christ. What may at first seem to be simply an arbitrary arrangement of ancient holy days, or liturgical seasons, this book explains their essential relationship to one another and their ongoing meaning to us today. It is an excursion into life from the Christian perspective, from the viewpoint of those who set out not only to follow Jesus but to live and think as Jesus did.

Story
Most Christians are familiar with the Apostle Paul's teaching that Christ is the "Bridegroom" and the Church is the "Bride." But what does this really mean? And what would ever possess Paul to compare the death of Christ to the love of a husband for his wife? If you would have been at the Crucifixion, with Jesus hanging there dying, is that how you would have described it? How could a first-century Jew like Paul, who knew how brutal Roman crucifixions were, have ever compared the execution of Jesus to a wedding?

Story
The God of the universe - the Creator of nitrogen and pine needles, galaxies and E-minor - loves us with a radical, unconditional, self-sacrificing love. And what is our typical response? We go to church, sing songs, and try not to cuss. Are you hungry for an authentic faith that addresses the problems of our world with tangible, even radical, solutions? God is calling you to a passionate love relationship with Himself. Because the answer to religious complacency isn’t working harder at a list of do's and don'ts - it's falling in love with God.

King's Cross is Timothy Keller's revelatory look at the life of Christ as told in the Gospel of Mark. There have been many biographies of Jesus, but few will be as anticipated as this one by Keller, the man Newsweek calls "a C. S. Lewis for the 21st century". In it, Keller shows how the story of Jesus is at once cosmic, historical, and personal, calling each of us to look anew at our relationship with God.

To grasp the depth and height of the great I AM and to live life with the end (eternity) in sight is a believer's most significant accomplishment. Within each of His chosen people, God has placed a desire to know him, to worship him, and to live victoriously for him. He has shown us how to have the right perspective concerning this life and the one to come. And what God starts, he finishes.

Heaven may not be what you think it is. We often think of heaven in two extremes: It's either a dreamy existence where we float around on clouds with nothing much to do, or it's something far off in the future that we don't want to happen until we accomplish all that we want to in this life. Both of these are flat wrong, and Tony Evans looks to scripture to set the record straight. Simple and straight forward, Eternity is a short book on what eternity with God will really be like.

Makes you think
- By R. Whitten on 07-11-03

Publisher's summary
Our world is charged with both the grandeur of God and the void of his absence. The seven deadly sins are the force causing that hole. They are at work in each of us. They decimate our relationships, our souls, and our world. These deadly sins often seem pleasing and good for gaining what we desire, but they are thoroughly poisonous.
Conversely, the Beatitudes are Jesus' pictures of a restored creation. The Beatitudes introduced what Jesus said to his earliest followers about a life strong and fruitful. In fact, the Beatitudes give us a glimpse of a world empty of evil and filled to the edges with God's life. Looking at the Beatitudes and the seven deadly sins in turn, we see two paths, two sets of invitations. Both call to deep places within us to come and taste. Both invite us to take up residence. Both present themselves as life as it actually is. But only one will draw us further into reality. And only one will make us happy.

Is God a sadistic torturer? Coldhearted judge? Genocidal maniac? Unfortunately, our popular caricatures often make him out to be. God has some skeletons in the closet.

These are difficult questions that our family, our friends, our culture - even we ourselves - are asking.

Story
In Prototype, Jonathan Martin creates a vivid understanding of what it means to be God's beloved. To completely trust, as Jesus did, that God loves us. To live without fear, confident in our identity and purpose. To handle life's wounds as Jesus did, and to wake every day with a deep awareness of God's presence. Martin reveals a startling truth at the heart of the gospel: Jesus is our prototype. And as we discover how the knowledge of being God's beloved changed everything for Jesus - how it set Him free to live out His purpose and love God, others, and the world - it will begin to do the same for us.

Max Lucado invites you to examine the cross, contemplate its purpose, and celebrate its significance in He Chose the Nails.Go ahead and linger on the hill of Calvary. Rub a finger on the timber and press the nail into your hand. Taste the tinge of cheap wine and feel the scrape of a thorn on your brow. Touch the velvet dirt, moist with the blood of God. Allow the tools of torture to tell their story. Listen as they tell you why the hope of all humanity balances on the truth of the claims of the cross.

For many people worry, anxiety, and fear are constant companions: fear of death, fear of danger, fear of disease. And too often these fears are crippling, keeping us from the lives God has called us to live. But it doesn't have to be that way, says Dr. David Jeremiah. As Christians we have been given all we need in order to face down even the most frightening, unexpected, and overwhelming obstacles in life.

Good perspective - learned a few things
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
Yes, I was looking for the relationship between sin and how we are suppose to live. Even though the seven deadly sins are not Biblical this book does give an interesting relationship.
Do you think Seven needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
No, all was covered well.
Any additional comments?
I would recommmend.

Most original Audiobook I've listen to recently
Would you listen to Seven again? Why?
Fluid, always interesting, and the original music by Tim Coons that flows in and out of the recording is brilliant.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Seven?
The last chapter is a live recording of the author, an amazing conclusion to the book. I haven't heard anyone else do this before.

Thought provoking
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
In so many ways this book makes you realize how flawed how absolutely lost we are, including those of us like me who feel we are a Christian. This book shows how we all fail in any test of honoring God and the sacrifice made by Christ. The book makes you dig deep and ask difficult questions about your own relationship with God and His Creation.

Can't handle narrator!
Not going to finish the audio. It is really bad. I have the book. I will read it instead. He is in high and loud preach mode almost throughout (as mentioned in other reviews here). Sorry but this is not the way I want to hear an audio book. A set of sermons maybe. But he is not very good at preaching this anyway. He does not get my vote here.
Secondly, the author makes some interesting comments about who we are meant to be then zooms through assumptions that need background information and explanation to be accepted at face value. I think this would add depth to the introduction. I will not be updating here after I finish the book. I will post on Amazon or Good Reads.
Got to see if it isn't too late to get a refund.
Very disappointed. I am very used to all kinds of preaching styles. But can't stomach this presentation any longer.

Weak on the content side
Most of my gripes with this book are stylistic and related to the presentation of the information. Despite the name, the book doesn't grapple with the seven deadly sins from a historical standpoint, so don't go into it thinking you're going to learn much about the seven's historical significance.
My first gripe (and my top stylistic complaint) is the author's voice - it's not suited for audiobooks. I usually appreciate an author reading their work for purposes of inflection to understand the content, but in ministry, it rarely comes across correctly. Cook is like so many Christian speakers and pastors that like to read their works for audiobooks, and they read it with the inflection of a Sunday morning sermon or a thirty-minute speaking engagement. It works well in short bursts, but for 5 hours, it's overwhelming, and frankly, over the top. Cook is one of those speakers whose voice can't "come down from the pulpit."
The second (and my top content complaint) is that the sins aren't handled in order (and by extension, neither are the beatitudes). There is a reason for the order of the seven which the author disregards for purposes of their own desire for teaching. Now, this is a stylistic choice, and I get that, but when I saw a book on the seven, I thought for sure there'd be some relation to the classical definitions and numbering of the seven.
Thirdly (on the border of style and exegesis), when Cook elaborates on topics taken from the biblical narrative, he puts in flavor that isn't in the text to heighten the story. Early in the book, when Cook talks about Jesus' healing the leper, he adds in so much flavor that the story becomes more about the man's affliction than it does the power of Christ. Details are thrown in about the man's day-in and day-out thoughts, his lost family, his livelihood, and his day-to-day experience of rejection, which in all fairness could be accurate, but it certainly isn't part of the biblical text. Building a message around hope from an imagined and fabricated backstory is weak preaching. Granted, the seven deadly sins are not talked about in the bible, so this should be a minor gripe in terms of the topic of the book.
Enjoy this book for its devotional work, but don't expect much more. It wasn't for me, especially as someone looking into the seven from a historical and theological perspective.
