I Don't Believe In Atheists - Audiobook On Four Cds

WRITTEN AND READ BY CHRIS HEDGES
The author argues that there are two radical and dangerous sides to the debate on faith and religion in America, Christian fundamentalists and New Atheists, who brand all religious belief as irrational. Too often, the majority, those committed to tolerance and compassion as well as their faith, are caught in the middle. He accuses both sides of generating a simplified worldview of us vs. them, intolerance toward certain behaviors, and of utilizing false myths of human progress or moral superiority. He makes way for new, moderate voices to join the debate.

BY GWENYTH SWAIN, ILLUSTRATED BY RONALD HIMLER

In an author's note, Swain explains how, in 1933, a girl named Annie Morgan sang the title song to John Jacob Niles, a collector of folksongs, at a revival in Murphy, NC. The fictionalized tale that follows describes how Annie mourns for her mother: `I still can't figure how she could have died in spring, when there's so much life just bursting from the ground and the tree branches.' She and her itinerant preacher father wander the country, speaking to any folks who will listen to them. Annie composes a song to express her religious questions, which she sings to a crowd. .

If God Is Love

Rediscovering Grace In An Ungracious World

BY JAMES MULHOLLAND AND PHILIP GULLEY
In If Grace Is True, pastors Philip Gulley and James Mulholland revealed their belief that God will save every person. They now explore the implications of this belief and its power to change every area of our lives. They attempt to answer one question: If we took God's love seriously, what would our world look like? Gulley and Mulholland argue that what we believe is crucial and dramatically affects the way we live and interact in the world. Beliefs have power. The belief in a literal hell, where people suffer eternally, has often been used by the Church to justify hate and violence, which contradict what Jesus taught about love and grace. The authors present a new vision.

Why God Will Save Every Person

But this is a hugely controversial book to some Friends in the more evangelical traditions. Using stories from their own lives the authors meditate on Christian Universalism and how a true and loving relationship with God is indeed salvation. Includes an appendix of Universalist Bible quotes and thought through the ages. This new edition has an afterward and discussion questions.
