About this listen
Three broad themes are considered by the author, themes common to each listener who has lived long enough to consider the consequence of aging, while also valuing the savoring of spiritual considerations.
These succinct reads will address:
- Aging, especially the senior end of the scale.
- The process of transitioning from home ownership into the phenomenon of assisted living.
- Insights into many observations of the Christian faith, ranging in diversity from contemplation of contemporary interpersonal relationships to those considering the person of God.
The "give me four minutes" request of the title of this audiobook emphasizes the author’s cogent capsule of thought concept. Every insight can be quickly heard in four minutes or less. It is intended that each offering will hold a truth that the listener can quickly hear, but will want to ruminate on to refresh their mind and spirit a few minutes longer than four.
This is not a work of fiction, but comes from the pen (iPad) of a boots on the ground, been there believer in the God of the bible. Kennedy Brown is as old as dirt, as one chapter in the audiobook recites. That claim comes from 90 plus years of life experience. His teen years were spent working the dirt of a Midwestern family farm. Those same years, he walked or rode a horse to catch the school bus to attend class with the 11 other classmates in his public high school.
Ultimately graduating university with a Juris Doctor, he has practiced law in Arizona and Hawaii, managed a large real estate company in Arizona, and started a bait and tackle business on an island in Florida. He and Janelle, his wife of 66 years, wrapped up their entrepreneurial approach to ministry by opening and operating a local Christian bookstore in northcentral Florida. Kennedy has drawn the insights offered in this audiobook from his cauldron of experience flavored with nearly 50 years of faith in Jesus (Messiah Yeshua).

Story
Whether in struggle, illness, death, or failure, the presence of pain causes us to question the presence of God. We pray and watch the sky, crossing our spiritual fingers for hardcore proof of God's nearness. And in the silence, we sense something more sinister: perceived abandonment. But what if we could collect evidence that God hasn't left us? What if we could be absolutely certain of God's presence and affection, strengthening our faith against any assault? Woven throughout Scripture sits a single, extraordinary theme: God is with us.

What if you approached this Advent more open to the things of God? What if you decided to be expectant that God would move in your midst?

Pause for a moment and ask yourself what your life would be like if it were completely without fear? If you did not fear death. If you did not fear life and what it might bring. If you did not fear any man, or woman, or any living creature. Would you live differently? In this unique work of never-before-published teaching, Dallas Willard revolutionizes our understanding of Psalm 23 by taking this comfortably familiar passage and revealing its extraordinary promises: "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.... I will fear no evil."

In Jesus in Me, Anne Graham Lotz draws on her rich biblical knowledge as well as her personal story - including her recent cancer diagnosis - to help us understand that the Holy Spirit is not a magic genie, a flame of fire, or a vague feeling. He is a person who prays for us, guides us in our relationships and decisions, comforts us in pain, and stays by our side at all times. In this seminal teaching, she explores seven key aspects of the Holy Spirit that will revolutionize how you understand and relate to this vital third person in the Trinity.

The best and surest way to pursue such wholeness is through prayer. Not the semimindless I-just-ask-God-for-stuff-then-listen-to-the-deafening-silence kind of prayer you've tried before. That's not working. What you need is authentic connection that leads to harmony with God, yourself, and others. That kind of prayer is what Words with God is all about. In this thoughtful book, Addison Bevere breaks prayer out of its religious box and places it at the center of your everyday life, the place where God longs to make himself real to you.

Discover the bottomless, refreshing Well of God’s Word―and experience a fullness and peace beyond your circumstances. In the chaos of our everyday, it can be difficult to live out and apply the truths of Scripture. We want more of Jesus, but we find ourselves looking to our own lives and accomplishments for our worth and identity. And while that may buoy us for a time, we’re often left feeling dried up, discouraged, and longing for more.

This easy listen fits perfectly into my stage of life right now. My life arc is just past that midpoint and finds me considering that I may have more years behind me than I do ahead. Kennedy's insightful reflections on aging have proven very helpful as I entire my next chapter.

Humble, Insightful, Instructional
Perhaps the easiest means to obtaining insights and instructions in how to age well. This collection of concise thought capsules is a wonderful anchor to the larger reality that what we are experiencing today is not the sum total of life. Understanding what came before (both in our own lives as well as the world around us) is an important component in our toolbox for dealing with all the vagaries of life. This is not a preachy collection of verse. This is a humble look at what shifts and changes with time. Some anticipated. Some unwelcomed. Some delightful. Ever mindful that this life is a journey and what you do with it, with what perspective you view it, will greatly impact what you experience days, months, and years down the road.
