We continue looking at the book of Ephesians by studying the second part of chapter one.  As Paul discusses the key to unlocking the spiritual blessing we talked about in the first study, we find that the key may not be a popular one.  In fact, it can be down-right unpopular — but necessary.  Are you willing to do the unpopular?

I also play an extended excerpt from a recently released audio book, The Swaddling Clothes by Amber Schamel.  This is great historical fiction tracing a history of God’s people from King David to the time of the birth of Christ, focusing on the Swaddling Clothes which ultimately covered the baby Jesus.

This is a hiatus week!

Sometimes, life just interferes with the best laid plans for the week, doesn’t it?  This week has been that way.  I have taken on the duties of a tax preparer (I used to work for the IRS).  In getting up to speed for those duties, I don’t have the physical time to complete a podcast this week.  So, I’m declaring a one-week hiatus!  Check back next week as we take a look at a re-release of another book, The Swaddling Clothes.  This book is currently available for download at CD Baby and will soon come to audible.com and the iTunes store.  Maybe next week, I can announce that this book and another have dropped into the audible library!  Check back then!  See you on Wednesday!!!

Swaddling Clothes coverOnce Upon a Christmas Eve coverThis is the second week exploring the merger of audiobooks with spiritual ideas. While we may usually think of Bibles, books about the Bible, or devotionals containing spiritual ideas, there are other forms of writing which can be rich in spiritual ideas. In this episode, I take a look at two novels which explore spiritual ideas using the story of the birth of Jesus as their platform.  Amber Shamel’s The Swaddling Clothes is a historical novel inspired by a Veggie Tales episode.  Anne Baxter-Campbells Once Upon a Christmas Eve tells the story of a teenage who needs to learn a lesson or two.  You’ll hear excerpts from both of these books.
