Author: Darcia Narvaez, G. A. Bradshaw
Narrator: Cindy Kay

A fascinating look into nurturing and parenting in the natural world, supplemented with original illustrations. A beautiful resource for Nature advocates, parents-to-be, Animal lovers, and anyone who seeks to restore wellbeing on our planet, The Evolved Nest reconnects us to lessons from the Animal world and shows us how to restore wellness in our families, communities, and lives. Each of 10 chapters explores a different animal’s parenting model, sharing species-specific adaptations that allow each to thrive in their "evolved nests." Psychologists Drs. Darcia Narvaez and Gay Bradshaw show us how each evolved nest offers inspiration for reexamining our own systems of nurturing, understanding, and caring for our young and each other. Alongside beautiful illustrations, stunning scientific facts, and lessons in neuroscience, psychology, and evolutionary biology, we learn to care deeper: to restore our innate place within the natural world and fight for an ecology of life that supports our flourishing in balance with Nature alongside our human and non-human family.

Author: Karen Swallow Prior
Narrator: Susan Hanfield

Contemporary American evangelicalism is suffering from an identity crisis-and a lot of bad press. In this book, acclaimed author Karen Swallow Prior examines evangelical history, both good and bad. By analyzing the literature, art, and popular culture that has surrounded evangelicalism, she unpacks some of the movement’s most deeply held concepts, ideas, values, and practices to consider what is Christian rather than merely cultural. The result is a clearer path forward for evangelicals amid their current identity crisis-and insight for others who want a deeper understanding of what the term "evangelical" means today. This book explores ideas including conversion, domesticity, empire, sentimentality, and more. In the end, it goes beyond evangelicalism to show us how we might be influenced by images, stories, and metaphors in ways we cannot always see.

Author: Mark Hitchcock
Narrator: Tim Lundeen

The end times have seen a great amount of interest within the last two decades. The Iraq and Afghanistan wars, the Arab Spring, ISIS, and the Iranian stand-off have focused us on the future of the Middle East – the center of the Bible’s prophecies about the last days. Yet there hasn’t been a comprehensive overview of biblical prophecy and eschatology for more than five decades. Mark Hitchcock’s book is that comprehensive resource for the 21st-century listener. The End will provide a solid biblical foundation for Christians to explore the essential truths around this topic – the end of the world.

Reynolds offers a fascinating look at the structure and meaning of the Qur’an, revealing the ways in which biblical language is used to advance the Qur’an’s religious meaning. Reynolds’s analysis identifies the motives that shaped each narrative-Islamic, Jewish, and Christian. The book’s conclusion yields a rich understanding of diverse interpretations of Islam’s emergence, suggesting that its emergence is itself ever-developing.

Author: Kate Strasdin
Narrator: Karen Cass

In 1838, a young woman was given a diary on her wedding day. Collecting snippets of fabric from a range of garments-some her own, others donated by family and friends-she carefully annotated each one, creating a unique record of their lives. Her name was Mrs. Anne Sykes. Nearly two hundred years later, the diary fell into the hands of Kate Strasdin, a fashion historian and museum curator. Using her expertise, Strasdin spent the next six years unraveling the secrets contained within the album’s pages, and the lives of the people within. Her findings are remarkable. Piece by piece, she charts Anne’s journey from the mills of Lancashire to the port of Singapore before tracing her return to England in later years.

Author: Alexis Conason
Narrator: Julie Slater

A 10-step approach to ditch diet culture, heal your relationship with food, and learn to love your body from clinical psychologist Alexis Conason. Diets don’t work – and it’s not your fault. As a culture, we’re told (and tell ourselves) that if we just lost the weight – tried a little harder, had a little more willpower, or deprived ourselves for a little bit longer – we’d be happier, healthier, and more desirable. But it’s just not true. The Diet-Free Revolution debunks the myths we’ve been sold about food, nutrition, health, and weight loss and offers an antidote to the pain and suffering caused by yo-yo diets, untenable food regimens, and quick fixes.

Narrator: Timothy Andrés Pabon

An award-winning astronomer and physicist’s spellbinding and urgent call for a new Enlightenment and the recognition of the preciousness of life using reason and curiosity-the foundations of science-to study, nurture, and ultimately preserve humanity as we face the existential crisis of climate change. Since Copernicus, humanity has increasingly seen itself as adrift, an insignificant speck within a large, cold universe. Brazilian physicist, astronomer, and winner of the 2019 Templeton Prize Marcelo Gleiser argues that it is because we have lost the spark of the Enlightenment that has guided human development over the past several centuries.
