San Pietro fu l'apostolo chiamato da Gesù a essere il primo papa con le parole: "Tu sei Pietro e su questa pietra fonderò la mia Chiesa". Divenne, insieme a san Paolo, fondatore della Roma cristiana stabilizzando la prima comunità di cristiani e testimoniando con il martirio la sua fedeltà a Cristo. Ma Pietro fu prima di tutto un uomo chiamato da Gesù a seguirlo dicendogli "Tu sei Simone il figlio di Giovanni; ti chiamerai Cefa, Pietro". Da semplice pescatore, Pietro divenne pescatore di anime. Fu tra i più intraprendenti e certamente il più impulsivo degli apostoli, sicuramente l'apostolo più vicino a Cristo.

Hippolyte Léon Denizard Rivail era um professor cético, autor de livros didáticos na França do século 19, até ver mesas girarem no ar e ditarem, ao som de pancadas, mensagens atribuídas ao além.

The author Sri "M" is an extraordinary individual. His uniqueness lies not only in the fact that at the young age of 19 and a half, he travelled to snow-clad Himalayas from Kerala, and there he met and lived for several years with a "real-time" yogi, Babaji, but also that he should undertake such an unusual and adventurous exploration, given his non-Hindu birth and antecedents. The metamorphosis of Mumtaz Ali Khan into Sri "M", a yogi with profound knowledge of the Upanishads and deep personal insights, is born of first-hand experiences with higher levels of consciousness....

Learn about the life of Mahatma Gandhi with iMinds insightful audio knowledge series.

On January 30, 1948, a small, peaceful man, aged 78, was shot dead while holding a prayer meeting in Delhi, India. What made this man's death global news was the extraordinary life that had preceded it. The world gasped in shock that the man who had brought India her independence had been killed; that a man who had proven to be one of the most iconic figures of the 20th century was dead.

Great Saint Teresa, the Spanish Carmelite of the 16th century, captured the imagination of those seeking God in her own time and beyond. It’s no surprise that she was quickly canonized and, in 1970, became the first woman Doctor of the Church. In this edifying 12-lecture audio course, you’ll understand why her teachings remain transformational today.

Writer, preacher, counselor, educator, pastor of souls: all of these descriptions and more have been aptly applied to John Henry Newman (1801-1890). Newman's canonization by Pope Francis focuses attention on the extraordinary holiness and inner life of a man who spent most of his earthly years being misunderstood. His trust in God and his willingness to seek the truth eventually convinced him to seek ordination as a Catholic priest.

You may be aware that G. K. Chesterton authored influential Christian biographies and apologetics. But you may not know the larger-than-life Gilbert Keith Chesterton himself - not yet. Equally versed in poetry, novels, literary criticism, and journalism, he addressed politics, culture, and religion with a towering intellect and a soaring wit. Chesterton carried on lively, public discussions with the social commentators of his day, continually challenging them with civility, humility, erudition, and his ever-sharp sense of humor.

This is the inspiring and terrifying tale of one man's journey to the Middle East to save his child from radical Islam. Dimitri Bontinck lived every parent's worst nightmare: His teenage son, introduced to Islam by his girlfriend, fell into the clutches of a radical mosque.

Completely brainwashed, Jay snuck out of the house and traveled to Syria, all but vanishing.

The papal tiara has been worn by a number of infamous men through the course of its history. Some have been accused of murder, many have had mistresses, while others sold positions in the church to their followers or gave land and wealth to their illegitimate children. E. R. Chamberlin examines the lives of eight of the most controversial popes, from the reign of Pope Stephen VI, who had his predecessor exhumed, put on trial and thrown in the Tiber, in the ninth century, through to Pope Clement VII, whose failed international policy led to the Sack of Rome in 1527.

El Cardenal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, desde el 13 de marzo de 2013 Papa Francisco, y el Rabino Abraham Skorka, rector del Seminario Rabínico latinoamericano, son dos tenaces promotores del diálogo interreligioso, a través del cual buscan construir horizontes comunes sin diluir las particularidades que los caracterizan.

"Aquel Francisco" es una biografía del Papa que parte del conocimiento personal y las conversaciones que los autores pudieron tener con él durante las visitas del entonces Cardenal Bergoglio a su provincia, en varios encuentros episcopales y luego ya en El Vaticano. El audiolibro reconstruye su vida, incluyendo pasajes menos conocidos como el de su paso formativo por Córdoba y un relato en primera persona del Cónclave que lo consagró como la máxima autoridad de la Iglesia Católica.

Considered one of the greatest novels of simple and triumphant religious faith to be published in the 20th century, how the The Song of Bernadette came to be written is an inspirational - even miraculous - story in its own right. In June 1940, famed Austrian author Franz Werfel and his beautiful wife, Alma Mahler, were on a desperate flight across France, seeking to escape certain death at the hands of the Nazi invaders. Franz had written many articles and given many radio speeches denouncing their tyranny.
