DescriptionIn the late afternoon of April 18, 1521, in the city of Worms, Germany, Martin Luther, a 37 year-old Catholic monk was called to defend himself before Charles the Fifth, the Holy Roman Emperor. The speech he delivered that day, "Here I Stand", marked the beginning of the Reformation, a critical turning point in Christian history, that decisively altered the spiritual map of the world. In this recording, Max McLean introduces the events leading up to the "Diet of Worms": Martin Luther's prayer the night before he delivered his speech; Luther's stirring defense; the Catholic church's rebuttal; and, Luther's final heartfelt response.

DescriptionMark's Gospel is believed to be the earliest written account of the life of Jesus. As Peter preached the gospel, Mark traveled with him and wrote down Peter's testimony. So what we have in the Gospel according to St. Mark are the eyewitness accounts of the Savior as experienced by Peter, Jesus' first disciple. Mark is the shortest and most action-oriented gospel. He tells the story with relentless energy. It is written to a non-believing audience whose interest was not about theology, but power. It was as if they asked Peter, "I'm not interested in what Jesus taught. I want to know what he did." Mark's Gospel is the written account of Peter's response: "Okay, I'll tell you exactly what he did, but sit down because this will 'blow you away.'" Max McLean has recorded the Gospel according to Mark to help build up your faith in Jesus. Listen to the Bible; it's great for the soul.

I thought Jesus was going to come right out of the pages of the Bible and take me with him. When I got to the cross I was in tears. I saw the sacrificial love, and I responded to Jesus, immediately." Now McLean has recorded this compelling and moving narration of John's Gospel. Use it for your own edification or as an evangelism tool to give to friends, family, and co-workers.
