Who Reads the Audiobook?
Our audiobook is very special because every part is read by the author of that part:
Thomas reads most of the book, since he wrote most of it
Amy read Chapter 4 - her story
John Dawson reads the Midword - it is very powerful to have his voice unfolding the theological underpinnings of identificational repentance.
Hanna Zack Miley read the Afterword - ending with her, a Messianic Jew, praying the Aaronic Blessing over you, the reader
Plus, in several places other voices appear via recording, including:
The last recorded words of Ann Cogdell, Thomas’ mother
Richard Harvey’s epic talk on the Judensau in the 2016 meeting
Amish leader Ben Girod responding to the Anabaptist reconciliation
Can a 500-Year-Old Conflict Be Healed?
Unity through Repentance is the story of God interrupting the lives and plans of an ordinary couple to invite them into the adventure of a lifetime, gathering all the major streams of Jesus-followers in Wittenberg on the 500th anniversary of the Reformation. God gave the vision; tested and confirmed the calling; formed an international leadership team; and inspired a series of gatherings dedicated to joining with Jesus through repentance, forgiveness, and praying John 17.
Most Christians will agree that God has a desire to reconcile all peoples to Himself—but few are willing to explore God’s fierce resolve to reconcile us to each other. In fact, we often find ourselves affirming deeply rooted hostility in the body of Christ. The legendary image of Martin Luther defiantly nailing his 95 Theses to the Wittenberg church door in 1517 exemplifies our urge to celebrate the split between Protestants and Catholics. But even this conflict can be transformed and healed by the power of God and the partnership of friends.
“It was one of the unique experiences in my life ... The healing power of God was noticeably present in Wittenberg.”
— Archpriest Drtad Uzunyan, ecumenical representative of the Armenian Patriarchate of Turkey (Eastern Orthodox), Istanbul, Turkey
“By faith and through countless impossibilities, Thomas and Amy obeyed when God called them. After 500 years, wounds were healed in the body of Christ, guiding us from far away, entering into the midst of deep traditional European conflicts of Christianity. No one of us would ever have dared this.”
— Sr. Joela Krüger, Marienschwestern (Evangelical Sisters of Mary–Lutheran), Darmstadt, Germany
