"A social satire of epic proportions and one that does not suffer by comparison with
Thackeray's Vanity Fair...the whole comedy of manners, convincing both in its fidelity to life
and as a work of art."New York Times on the Forsyte Chronicles

John Galsworthy's epic Forsyte Chronicles, a nine-volume series of novels dramatizing the fictional
but entirely representative family of propertied Victorians, the Forsytes, has become established as
one of the most popular and enduring works of twentieth century literature. He made their lives and
times, loves and losses so real that readers accused him of including real individuals whom they
knew as the characters in his drama.

Flowering Wilderness is the middle novel in the third trilogy of the series, called End of the
Chapter, which concerns the cousins of the younger Forsytes, the Cherrells. A story of individual
emotional struggle within the impositions of society, the plot concerns the unconventional Wilfrid
Desert, a Great War veteran and poet who renounced Christianity for Islam at pistol point, and his
adoring fiance, Dinny Cherrell, who was prepared to defy her world's moral code for him.

With Supernatural Fire and the Sound of a Mighty Wind . . .

. . . The Christian church was born. Filled with the Holy Spirit, the first believers turned the world upside-down, vanquishing kings and empires with their faith in the risen Jesus. Here is their story. It is a saga of compelling leaders, courageous martyrs, amazing miracles, deadly enemies, and bold exploits—and of flawed human beings who, in the face of loneliness, loss, and adversity, lived out a passionate love for God and one another.

This dramatized audio edition of the book of Acts does more than impart voices and immediacy to ancient people and events. It reveals the power and presence of the Holy Spirit permeating the early church as it swelled from a handful of disciples to thousands of believers carrying the gospel of Jesus throughout the Roman Empire.

Featuring an introduction by pastor and award-winning author Jim Cymbala, The Early Church is beautifully orchestrated and engineered using the most advanced recording technology. This is more than a book of the Bible you listen to. It’s an experience that helps you enter into God’s Word . . . So God’s Word can enter into you.

-The complete book of Acts taken from Zondervan’s acclaimed, Audie Award®-winning NIV Audio Bible Dramatized New Testament
-New International Version—today’s most read, most trusted translation
-Introduction by Jim Cymbala—Pastor of The Brooklyn Tabernacle and award-winning author of Fresh Wind, Fresh Fire; Fresh Faith; and Fresh Power
