The Gift of Wonder: Creative Practices for Delighting in God 

Christine Sine

Read By: Nan McNamara

I choose to breathe in the wonder of God’s eternal love and dance to the rhythm of eternal breath, listening to the whispers calling me to slow down and take notice. I choose to absorb the beauty of the divine presence, to delight in the creator of all things and relish the delight God takes in me.

Can you imagine a God who dances with shouts of joy, laughs when you laugh, loves to play, enjoys life, and invites us to join the fun?

Like many of us, Christine Sine had spent many years with an image of God who was “a very serious, workaholic type of God”. And even when her theology told her this was not true, she struggled to live into this new way of thinking. What she needed was a childlike spirituality.

In this audiobook, Christine Sine, online host of the Godspace community, invites us to pay attention to childlike characteristics that have the power to reshape us. Each chapter addresses a childlike characteristic to embrace, including delight, playfulness, imagination, awe and wonder, love of nature, the ability to live in the present, and much more. Fresh spiritual practices that engage all our senses help us live a new spiritual life that embraces the wonder and joy that God intends for us.

Ever Ancient, Ever New: The Allure of Liturgy for a New Generation  

Winfield Bevins

Read By: Tommy Cresswell

For many years now, the church in North America has heard figure after figure concerning the steady flow of young people leaving the church. In the midst of these troubling figures, there remains a glimmer of hope for these youth as they transition into young adults. Ever Ancient, Ever New tells the story of a generation of younger Christians from different backgrounds and traditions who are finding a home and a deep connection in the church by embracing a liturgical expression of the faith.

Author and teacher Winfield Bevins introduces you to a growing movement among younger Christians who are returning to historic, creedal, and liturgical reflections of Christianity. He unpacks why and how liturgy has beckoned them deeper into their experience of Jesus and what types of churches and communities foster this “convergence” of old and new.

Filled with stories illustrating the excitement and joy many young adults have found in these ancient expressions of Christianity, this audiobook introduces you to practices and principles that may help the church as it seeks to engage our postmodern world.
