    Pray and Obey: Are You Talking to Me, God? , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 474min
    Pray and Obey: Are You Talking to Me, God?“Doesn’t everyone hear from God when they pray?” Sheri asks very sincerely. For 20 years, author Sheri Ann Stanley has written in her journals about all the talks she has had so effortlessly with God. After having a near-death experience from being hit by a truck at only eight years old, it is a relationship that has only gotten deeper over time as she has learned to trust God.After suffering in silence for years about her severe panic attacks and seeking every possible treatment seemed hopeless, it was when she started meditating on “Jesus” and not her mantra that would transform her prayer life in more ways than she ever imagined. From praying through all her messes in life (from dating disasters and money troubles, to wrong career moves) she shares bluntly and honestly about her personal talks with God that have helped put her focus back on her most important relationship of all - Jesus.Focusing on the Word each day and rebuking the enemy is a daily and lifetime practice that we all need to be reminded of. For those who don’t have that personal relationship with God, Sheri will teach you everything you need to know about simply talking to God. Each section comes with her favorite prescription - scriptures for each and every obstacle. If you are ready to finally talk to God, this is your real-world training. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    A Global Life: My Journey Among Rich and Poor, from Sydney to Wall Street to the World Bank , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1103min
    The autobiography of the larger-than-life, visionary financier and humanitarian who led the World Bank through one of its most intense and tumultuous decades in the struggle against global poverty. As president of the World Bank for a decade, James Wolfensohn tackled world poverty with a passion and energy that made him a uniquely important figure in a fundamental arena of change. Using a lifetime of experience in the banking sector, he carved a distinct path in Asia, Africa, Latin America, and Europe for the institution that serves as the major lender to the world's poor. In A Global Life, Wolfensohn tells his astonishing life story in his own words. A man of surpassing imagination and drive, he became an Olympic fencer and a prominent banker in London and New York. An Australian, he navigated Wall Street with uncommon skill. Chairman of Carnegie Hall and the Kennedy Center for many years, he is also an amateur cellist. But it was his tenure at the World Bank that made him an international force. While at the helm of this controversial institution, Wolfensohn motivated, schemed, charmed, and bullied all the constituencies at his command to broaden the distribution of the world's wealth. Now he bluntly assesses his successes and failures, reflecting on the causes of continuing poverty. Much more than a business story, this is a deeply reflective account of a fascinating career and personality. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Robin Sachs.

    Outpost: Life on the Frontlines of American Diplomacy: A Memoir , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 872min
    An "inside the room" memoir from one of our most distinguished ambassadors who - in a career of service to the country - was sent to some of the most dangerous outposts of American diplomacy. From the wars in the Balkans to the brutality of North Korea to the endless war in Iraq, this is the real life of an American diplomat. Hill was on the front lines in the Balkans at the breakup of Yugoslavia. He takes us from one-on-one meetings with the dictator Milosevic, to Bosnia and Kosovo, to the Dayton conference, where a truce was brokered. Hill draws upon lessons learned as a Peace Corps volunteer in Cameroon early on in his career and details his prodigious experience as a US ambassador. He was the first American Ambassador to Macedonia; Ambassador to Poland, where he also served in the depth of the cold war; Ambassador to South Korea and chief disarmament negotiator in North Korea; and Hillary Clinton's hand-picked Ambassador to Iraq. Hill's account is an adventure story of danger, loss of comrades, high stakes negotiations, and imperfect options. There are fascinating portraits of war criminals (Mladic, Karadzic), of presidents and vice presidents (Clinton, Bush and Cheney, and Obama), of Secretaries of State (Madeleine Albright, Colin Powell, Condoleezza Rice, and Hillary Clinton), of Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, and of Ambassadors Richard Holbrooke and Lawrence Eagleburger. Hill writes bluntly about the bureaucratic warfare in DC and expresses strong criticism of America's aggressive interventions and wars of choice. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    How to Make White People Laugh , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 334min
    From the acclaimed writer, director, and star of the hit documentary The Muslims Are Coming! comes a memoir in essays about growing up Iranian American in a post-9/11 world and the power of comedy to combat racism. Negin Farsad is an Iranian American Muslim female stand-up comedian who believes she can change the world through jokes. And yes, sometimes that includes fart jokes. In this candid and uproarious book, Farsad shares her personal experiences growing up as the "other" in an American culture that has no time for nuance. In fact she longed to be black and/or Mexican at various points of her youth - you know, like normal kids. Right? Right? Writing bluntly and hilariously about the elements of race we are often too politically correct to discuss, Farsad takes a long, hard look at the iconography that still shapes our concepts of "black", "white", and "Muslim" today - and what it means when white culture defines the culture. Farsad asks the important questions, like, "What does it mean to have a hyphenated identity?", "How can we actually combat racism, stereotyping, and exclusion?", and "Do Iranians get bunions at a higher rate than other ethnic groups?" (She's asking for a friend.) How to Make White People Laugh tackles these questions with wit, humor, and incisive intellect. And along the way, you might just learn a thing or two about tetherball, Duck Dynasty, and wine slushies. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Negin Farsad.

    Morehead , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 391min
    Morehead, the audiobook by Jeffrey Hickey, stars Joseph Rende as Dave Morehead and all the men in Chapter 2, Lauren Pizzi as almost all the women, and Jeffrey Hickey as everyone else. Morehead is an explicitly adult novel about Dave Morehead, a young man living in San Francisco during the height of the sexual revolution, in the late 1970s to mid-1980s. It was a time of sexual, evolutionary, and political change, with both glorious and nearly catastrophic consequences. San Francisco was teeming with diversity, and an evolving political base that forever changed the landscape of what had always been a progressive city. Harvey Milk, Halloween in the Castro, college classes where heterosexuals are in the minority, the first Gay Games, and spiritual cults comprise just part of the terrain Dave must traverse in order to get from where he was, to what he will become. Along the way, he is challenged, assaulted, and forced to defend himself, while relying on an expanding and surprising variety of friends. At the same time, a mysterious "gay cancer" is beginning to afflict some of his new friends and the community at large. Dave has to grow up, and he has to make choices. Will he be there for his friends, or will he let them go? Morehead is a coming of age story in the first person. It is told from the perspective of journals, classroom assignments, and transcribed audio recordings. Morehead, the second novel by Jeffrey Hickey, comically, bluntly, graphically, and poignantly tells the tale of a straight young man living in a gay old city. Morehead was recorded and mostly mixed at Der Zoo by Jeffrey Hickey. The remainder of mixing and mastering was done by Robin Livingston. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    OK Sicily: A Trip into the Myth: UNESCO Sites, Natural Parks, Cities, Villages and Ghost Cities, Among Temples, Baroque, Nature and Flavors. Thousand-Year-Old Island , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 346min
    Although small enough to be an island, Sicily is also large enough to be a continent and has at least two souls: a Western and an Eastern one. These two souls of Sicily are ancient, when the island was inhabited by the Elymians and the Sikani. This ancient "rivalry" continued with Phoenicians and Greeks, Romans and Carthaginians.To put it bluntly, in Sicily, there would also be a third soul, an almost alien part. Even the oranges, it is true, seem to express well the peculiarity of the territory and the perennial duality of the two souls: In the Western region, the oranges grow sweeter, bigger, always good. In contrast, in the Eastern region, they grow red, bloody, strong oranges, like the fire of the volcano Etna that shapes the soil with its ashes and roars.But the truth is that Sicily has a single great soul, complex and deep, the banks of the same river, the faces on the same medal. There is also a middle land, an inner Sicily, now abandoned in their silence and their fate. A naked and cruel destiny, slow, and inexorable, like the many cities already mown by fate. Some are already ghost towns, abandoned villages, left by everyone, now ruins and derelict. However, they preserve and exert a mysterious charm. A fascination that only the bravest tourists can appreciate and maybe, one day, they will be reborn to new life, since the old inhabitants have already fled far away.A trip to Sicily, therefore, is not only a journey through the history, culture, gastronomy, and flavors of a rich and generous land, but it is also a profound journey into the human soul and into the history!If you’re ready, let’s get started! ungekürzt.
