White Religion

Andrea Logan White appeared to be living the American dream, or what many would call a perfect life. However, underneath the happy veneer of the model, actress, and producer was a subtle, caustic voice leading to emptiness and self-destruction. She was being crushed under the weight of her own drive for perfection. Andrea's remarkable journey, which took her from hanging out in the Playboy mansion to finding God at a stoplight on Hollywood Boulevard, is not the whole story.

Pastor and author James Emery White leads his church and his life with a singular mission: to turn spiritual explorers into fully devoted followers of Christ. The obvious first step in this process is for someone to cross the line of faith - to say, "I believe." That was the heart behind his book Christianity for People Who Aren't Christians. But what comes after "I believe" is equally important, and it's the way someone truly becomes a fully devoted follower of Christ.

"What if you were just an ordinary housewife?" The question struck me at my core like a punch to the gut. It would take me 10 years, a career change, a divorce, a debilitating injury, and an intense inner emptiness that persisted no matter what my external circumstances, to answer.

Witchcraft has very little to do with green women and big noses, and more to do with working with nature and the earth. It’s understanding the world around you and knowing how to use her resources to survive. In this book, all three subjects are covered: Wicca, witchcraft, and pagan. There are many misunderstandings around these topics, and this book is here to help clear things up and pave a person’s way for a pagan path.

God is the harmony of infinite energy and infinite possibility. Infinite energy is the total of all that does exist. Infinite possibility is the total of all that does not exist. This audiobook is dedicated to the fearful and fearless, everyone, everywhere - may our hearts find peace.

In these days of pandemic, war and political turbulence, hope can seem to be in short supply. But hope is one of the theological virtues, and it is far more profound than mere optimism. Teresa White in this Lent Book draws on inspiration from writers as diverse as Julian of Norwich and Karl Rahner, Elizabeth Barrett-Browning and Henri Nouwen, but throughout the audiobook there is strong scriptural underpinning that the author uses to great effect.

Trusting Jesus, praying the sinner's prayer, going to church, and being baptized are great means to the point, but they are not the point. God's whole point throughout the Bible has been and will forever be you in his presence and his presence in you. Get to the Point helps you do just that. It is a practical guide into God's presence, hearing his voice, and receiving God's guidance and provision in your everyday life.

In a mystical voice, a young Muslim woman recounts her own relationship with one of the dead women and with the suspected killer.

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, nearly every church in the US has had to adopt new ministry strategies, including digital technologies they may have avoided before.

Only the Savior can overcome those challenges, and to help us He gave us the Book of Mormon to connect us to Him and remind us of His love.

On December 14, 1997, Marine Corps Captain Danny White thought he had it all. He had married his high school sweetheart and they had three children and another on the way, when an accident on an Arizona highway shattered his life and left him and two of his children stranded in a desert of the soul. Through his faith in God, Danny eventually found his life and a new love to lead him to his destiny.

"The way of the cross is a magnificent obsession with a heavenly pearl, beside which everything else in life has no value." Following Christ, says John White, is not cheap. The cost is substantial. There will be suffering and loss. But the benefits, rewards and joys that come with our commitment to him are well worth the sacrifices that must be made to answer the call to Christ. Consider the cost. Then take up your cross. And follow Jesus in the only life worth living.

In Climb Every Mountain, Trudy Cathy White invites you to join her on an expedition toward, up, and over the mountains most of us face in life—challenges such as figuring out our identity in Christ, understanding the gifts and calling God’s given us, godly parenting, and leaving (and living) a legacy for others to follow. She’ll also guide you through the rocky terrain of adversity, aging, and grief.

According to Deut. 30:15, choosing your word is a matter of life or death. Unfortunately, every suicide, murder, abortion, or mass shooting indicates an ultimate choice of the word death. Yet, God begs us to choose the word life.

This audiobook is not a self-help book filed with platitudes from people who think they have life figured out. Instead, Marilyn Nutter and April White link arms with the audience and encourage their listeners through stories of their own hardships in widowhood and chronic illness. Listeners are encouraged to see loss and hardship as part of life’s journey, and are constantly reminded to turn their gaze upwards to the Purveyor of Hope.

A friend’s child dies; a parent gets a cancer diagnosis; your spouse loses their job. Sometimes life and God’s plan don’t make sense and we end up feeling hurt and angry. In Seriously, God?, Fr. Michael White and Tom Corcoran explore the denial, doubt, and betrayal we experience when we face hardship, pain, and grief, and they encourage us to lean into our feelings and to take each circumstance as a chance to learn more about God. This audiobook treats the problems of suffering and evil not as an argument to be overcome but as an invitation to a deeper faith.
