Heidi (Audiobook)

By Johanna Spyri | Narrated by Emily Stokesy

Heidi is one of the most popular children’s books ever published, second only to Pinocchio — with over 50 million copies in print around the world (in at least 50 languages). Heidi is a delightful read. It is one of the most heartwarming Christian stories of all time for children. This is a book filled with joy, gratefulness, and praise to God. It is an ideal story for the Christian family, complete with vivid descriptions of sin, rebellion, God’s mercy, forgiveness, reconciliation, and faith. Young readers will learn about prayer, the purpose of trials, the sovereignty of God, and the goodness of God.

Over the years, much of the Christian content was removed from modern English editions of Heidi. The goal of this landmark republication was to restore all of the original Christian content, some of which was restored from the original German edition of 1881.

Features

• Enjoy the Christian heritage of this story, including numerous hymns and prayers contained in the original edition
• Scripture verses which tie directly into the story
• Share with your children key lessons from each chapter

Classics / Allegory

The Holy War (Audiobook)

By John Bunyan | Narrated by Aaron Ralby

In The Holy War, John Bunyan masterfully presents the battle for the town of Mansoul (representing man) as Diabolus (Satan) wages war with Shaddai (God the Father), Emmanuel (Jesus Christ), and the Lord High Secretary (The Holy Spirit). It is an allegorical portrayal of the victory of Christ in saving sinners from the clutches of the devil. In this classic Christian work, Bunyan's vivid depictions of battle remind the reader of the reality of spiritual forces warring for the soul.

Few books illustrate so well the words of the Apostle Peter: “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour” (1 Peter 5:8). The Holy War also ministers hope because by faith, “we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us” (Romans 8:37).

Features

• Rediscover this original, unabridged Christian classic
• Take advantage of over 300 explanatory notes, Scripture references, and word definitions
• Enjoy beautiful illustrations bringing the most exciting scenes to life

History / Worldview

Epoch (ePUB)

The Rise and Fall of the West

3rd Edition — Revised & Expanded

By Kevin Swanson

What Happened to Western Civilization?

How did the Christian West rise to such extraordinary influence — shaping law, education, charity, science, economics, liberty, and culture for centuries — only to descend into moral confusion, spiritual collapse, and civilizational decline?

In Epoch, Kevin Swanson traces the dramatic 2,000-year story of the rise and fall of the Christian West through a distinctly biblical worldview. This sweeping survey of world history examines the defining moments, ideas, leaders, movements, and spiritual battles that shaped Western civilization from the time of Christ to the modern age.

This is not merely a history book. It is a Christian interpretation of history.

A Biblical Worldview Approach to Western Civilization

As modern culture rapidly abandons its Christian foundations, Christians must understand how we arrived here — and what comes next.

Epoch explores:
• The rise of Christian civilization after the fall of Rome
• The influence of Christianity on freedom, education, science, charity, and government
• The spiritual foundations that shaped Western culture
• The major turning points that weakened and destabilized the West
• The philosophical, theological, political, and cultural ideas that contributed to civilizational decline
• The movement of Christianity from the West to the Global South and East
• A biblical response for Christians living in a post-Christian culture

Kevin Swanson carefully connects historical events to worldview, theology, and the spiritual condition of nations.

A Sweeping Christian History Curriculum Resource

This revised and expanded 3rd edition moves through history with clarity, depth, and urgency, helping readers understand not only what happened — but why it happened.

Inside you’ll discover discussions on:
• Rome and the rise of Christendom
• Medieval Christianity and the shaping of Europe
• The Reformation and its impact on liberty and culture
• Humanism, Darwinism, secularism, and modernism
• The collapse of biblical authority in the modern West
• The future of Christianity in a shifting global world

The book also highlights key historical events, influential figures, theological controversies, and cultural movements that transformed the course of Western civilization.

Designed for Christian Families, Students, and Teachers

Epoch is an excellent resource for:
• Christian homeschool history curriculum
• Biblical worldview studies
• High school and college-level Christian education
• Parents teaching Western civilization from a Christian perspective
• Christians seeking to understand the decline of modern culture
• Churches, study groups, and worldview courses

Whether used as part of a homeschool curriculum or for personal study, Epoch helps readers connect history to the sovereignty of God and the advance of Christ’s kingdom through generations.

Richly Illustrated and Highly Engaging

This expanded edition includes:
• Illustrations and historical images
• Graphs and tables
• Firsthand historical accounts
• Biographical insights
• Applied biblical principles
• Timelines and historical analysis

The fast-moving format makes complex history understandable, engaging, and highly readable.

Why This Book Matters Now

We are living through one of the greatest civilizational shifts in modern history.

The Christian West is collapsing under the weight of secularism, statism, moral revolution, and the rejection of biblical truth. Yet Christianity itself is not dying. The faith is growing rapidly throughout Africa, Asia, and other parts of the world.

Christians must understand the times in order to know how to respond.

Epoch provides historical clarity, biblical perspective, and a call for faithful Christian action in the generations ahead.

Continue the Work of Discipling the Nations

History is not random. Nations rise and fall under the sovereign hand of God. And the mission of Christ’s Church continues.

Epoch ends with a hopeful vision for the future of the global Church and a challenge for Christians to continue the work of discipling nations under the lordship of Jesus Christ.

Add Epoch to your homeschool curriculum, worldview library, or family bookshelf today.
