Religious Ethics

Soul of the Citizen: Prayers for a Divided Nation, by Mischa Field, is the cry of a burdened heart refusing to give up on neighbor or neighborhood or nation.

A biblical scribe for modern times, Field offers the listener a word of hope and a call to action. This book is for anyone looking to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with God in a time drowning in accusation and ambiguity.

The 1960s promised us an explosion of love and brotherhood, but instead they delivered a nation in turmoil, confusion, and moral decline. In this series, Skip Heitzig and the Calvary pastors tell us about God's solution for damaged families, His guide for successful marriage, and how to restore a relationship that has been damaged by sin. This series will take you beyond the easy, simplistic slogans of man, and back toward the plan of our loving heavenly Father.

This is an audiobook hoping to embolden doubt and sharpen unanswerable questions, all in the context of loving the self and one another. Ridiculously, it believes the world can be healed through such a hope. It is especially addressed to those allergic to the word “faith”, and others who feel confident and proud in the faith they profess or system of thought they live by. Humbling Faith helps us see how our beliefs, or non-beliefs, our belongings, and identities, often remain flawed, myopic, self-absorbed, unredeemed.
