"What was the starting point of Christianity? Was it in a little town in Bethlehem, just as the lyrics of our favorite Christmas songs contend?
In truth, in the earliest days of Christianity, when Peter and Paul first set out to preach the gospel, the belief systems of early Christians were viewed as merely a new sect of Judaism. The appellation of “Christian” was a term developed by outside antagonists, which the so-called Christians wore with pride. It took time for Christianity to be fully cleaved away from its mother religion of Judaism.
A council was held in Jerusalem around 50 CE for the early church leaders to decide what would become the fundamentals of the new faith, such as what old rules and regulations from the Old Testament should remain for new believers. From Christianity’s earliest formation as a separate identity, it began to spread across the known world. The early Christians met in underground churches and, at times, even in graveyards to avoid persecution.
Yet, their very secrecy often spurned the wildest of rumors. It got to the point where Communion was even mistaken as an act of cannibalism! This led to the rise of Christian apologists, who were tasked with explaining the most fundamental elements to the lay public.
This book explores all of these aspects of early Christianity and more. In this book, you will learn about the following:
- The ministry of Jesus
- Who first spread the gospel
- Early Christian outreach to the Greco-Roman world
- Christian Gnosticism, Manicheism, and other Christian sects
- The struggle of Christian apologists
- The early martyrs of the Christian faith
- The impact of the Council of Nicaea
- How the church survived the fall of the Roman Empire

"Did you know that Loki is the father of the monstrous creatures that are prophesied to kill the gods of Asgard?
When Heimdall blows his horn to signal the beginning of Ragnarök, the gods of Asgard are left with no choice but to face the forces of chaos on the battlefield of Vigrid. This is when Loki and his monstrous sons, Jörmungandr the World Serpent and Fenrir the Giant Wolf, will exact their revenge, a mission they will succeed in, although it will cost their lives. On this day, everyone, including the mightiest of gods, will spill blood on the battlefield. The entire world will perish, leaving only an empty void for life to happen all over again.
The stories and myths of the Norse were passed down by the Vikings in oral tradition until they were recorded in manuscripts by anonymous authors in the mid-13th century. The myths that survived tell the story of how the world was first created by the gods using the dead body of a primeval giant, the existence of the different realms surrounding the universe, and various tales and lore about the gods’ adventures.
Here’s just a small fraction of what you’ll discover:
• How the body of the primeval giant, Ymir, was used to shape the earth
• A detailed description of all nine realms in the Norse world and the World Tree, Yggdrasil
• The famous legend of how Odin lost his eye in exchange for wisdom
• How Loki tricked the dwarves into creating Mjölnir and other treasures for the gods
• Three of Loki’s monstrous sons and their roles in killing the gods at Ragnarök
• The unexpected death of Baldur and the gods’ failed attempt at resurrecting him
• Loki’s gruesome punishment that led to his revenge during Ragnarök
• The vicious battle between Thor and the World Serpent

"Greek mythology influences us today. For instance, did you know that the famous athletic brand Nike comes from the Greek goddess of victory?
Greek mythology has, without a doubt, some of the most well-known legends in the world. Like most people, the Olympians had their fair share of family drama. This audiobook pays strict attention to the genealogy of the Greek gods and the relationships they had with one another, whether they were good, bad, or incestuous.
These divine beings gifted humanity joy and despair, and the ancient peoples of Greece and other countries related their own world to the actions of the gods. However, the gods and Titans were all corporeal and capable of physical interaction with humanity. They were no different than the dirt on the ground or the clouds in the sky. They could be seen and touched—especially touched, given their numerous children produced from unions with gods and demi-gods alike.
The heavy amount of interaction that humans had with the gods and goddesses in Greek mythology allowed them to make sense of the world order in which they found themselves. It was a constant reminder that all beings in the heavens, earth, and below were all cogs of the same system.
- In this audiobook, you will discover:
- The intriguing relationships between gods, men, demi-gods, and monsters
- The connection between divinity and weakness. Not only men make mistakes; even seemingly perfect beings screw up regularly.
- The importance of love as a guiding force of nature and life in general
- A practical understanding of the motivations of both men and gods behind their less-than-honorable actions
- How hard work might end in tragedy
- The importance of family in Greek mythology
- And much more!
