Esau, the elder of the two men whose loins produced the country of Edom, would often have conflicts with Jacob, whose group of sons formed Israel.

Godless is the most explosive audiobook yet from number one New York Times best-selling author Ann Coulter. In this completely original and thoroughly controversial work, Coulter writes, "Liberals love to boast that they are not 'religious', which is what one would expect to hear from the state-sanctioned religion.

The Church, many said, had refused to enter the twentieth century. In response, Pope John launched Vatican II, an “ecumenical council” that summoned hundreds of church leaders to Rome. It marked one of the most progressive turns the Church had taken in centuries: “medicine of mercy,” as Pope John called it. Yet not everyone in the Church was prepared to accept this modernization.

This book is rendered to the Body of Christ as an alarm and a challenge against attitudes within the Church that has watered down, and in many cases redefined, what it is to be Christ-like. The reader will find strong confrontation for both leadership as well as contending against some traditional embraces that do not edify the Church. The aim of this literary work is to submit the concept of effective structuring in the local church assembly as it should reflect the order of things that served as a shadow of things to come.
