    The world lost a courageous leader and a treasured friend with the passing of Vine Deloria Jr. He was, and is, one of the greatest spiritual thinkers of our time. Before his death, Deloria was reexamining native spirituality. His years of collecting native stories of the medicine men and exploring spirituality from different perspectives are brought together in this audiobook. Although Deloria was annoyed and disapproving of the commercialization of native spirituality (sweat lodges conducted for $50, peyote meetings for $1,500, medicine drums for $300), he did not wish to chastise those finding solace in these pseudo rituals. Instead, he wanted to open people's eyes to the rituals and ceremonies as they were originally intended to and stop the empty recitation of songs and blessings and bring meaning and spirit back to the sacred native rites. To do so, he explored the medicine men, their powers, and the Earth's relation to the cosmos. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Wes Studi.

    He stood there and stared at me for the longest time. I couldn't tell if he had finally snapped or was just trying to work everything out. All of a sudden, he grabbed me and pulled me to him. He held me tightly for the longest time. He started rocking me gently and said, "Oh…Thank heaven! I'm sorry that you've been captured. But you don't know how glad I am to see a friendly face." I whispered back to him, "I know, believe me, I know." I couldn't think of anything else to say. I felt the tears fall down my face. "Oh Rex, to think how long I've waited to see you again and that it had to happen like this." I knew it was out of character for a secret agent to cry, but I couldn't help myself. We stood there and held each other silently. He didn't chastise me for crying and I didn't try to make any excuses. I was so lost and I didn't know what to do. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    That Nelda Roundheels had been murdered would have been of little interest to anyone - except that her body turned up in the bishop of Winchester's bedchamber with a letter to the bishop, from the king's most important enemy, rolled up in her breastband. The bishop and his knight, Sir Bellamy of Itchen, realize immediately that the purpose of putting the body in Winchester's bedchamber is to embarrass and discredit the bishop. And the reason for this attack on Winchester is his calling of a convocation to chastise the king for acting high-handedly against the bishop of Salisbury. Had the king himself ordered this outrage? Had the king's favorite, Waleran de Meulan, ordered it? Unfortunately the answer is not so simple to find; there are many other noblemen who want the king's favor and might attack Winchester to get it. To save Winchester's reputation it is urgently necessary to discover who killed the woman and who placed her in Winchester's bedchamber. Bell, to his mingled joy and distress, is ordered to ask Magdalene la Batarde, whoremistress of the Old Priory Guesthouse, once his lover but now estranged, to help him solve the mystery. ungekürzt.

    Kyle Conway is about to make a breakthrough for Conway Brothers Construction Co. - a long sought-after opportunity for a major real estate score. His wife and two boys will prosper, his brother-partner will do the same. And the Conways are delighted that friend and business colleague Mauricio Solares will have the chance to rise higher in society than other Mexican immigrants trying to realize the American dream. Yes, Kyle, -a bit rough around the edges but a good guy at heart - is happy for Mauricio, but his proclivity for careless, insensitive remarks about or in front of his Mexican friend causes Cynthia Conway to chastise him repeatedly, a fact that leads to frequent verbal clashes between them. He bristles at suggestions of mistreatment. She wants to enlighten her husband and to preserve the warm friendship that the Conways have enjoyed with the Solares family. Is there a legitimate cause - perhaps beneath the surface - for tension, or is it a result of imaginations being overwrought? That question becomes critical when a vacation visit to Mexico intended to offer the Conways an opportunity for celebration and a strengthening of their marriage turns into a horror show, one that compounds suspicions and tension. Their journey south of the border turns relaxation and optimism into terror and the possibility for tragedy. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Herb Isaacs.

    In this pithy, warmhearted, and very funny book, Eagleton melds a good old-fashioned roast with genuine admiration for his neighbors "across the pond." Americans have long been fascinated with the oddness of the British, but the English, says literary critic Terry Eagleton, find their transatlantic neighbors just as strange. Only an alien race would admiringly refer to a colleague as "aggressive," use superlatives to describe everything from one's pet dog to one's rock collection, or speak frequently of being "empowered." Why, asks Eagleton, must we broadcast our children's school grades with bumper stickers announcing "My Child Made the Honor Roll"? Why don't we appreciate the indispensability of the teapot? And why must we remain so irritatingly optimistic, even when all signs point to failure? On his quirky journey through the language, geography, and national character of the United States, Eagleton proves to be at once an informal and utterly idiosyncratic guide to our peculiar race. He answers the questions his compatriots have always had but (being British) dare not ask, like why Americans willingly rise at the crack of dawn, even on Sundays, or why we publicly chastise cigarette smokers as if we're all spokespeople for the surgeon general. In this pithy, warmhearted, and very funny book, Eagleton melds a good old-fashioned roast with genuine admiration for his neighbors "across the pond." ungekürzt. Language: English.

    From the inspirational author of The Ragamuffin Gospel comes a powerful contemporary retelling of the Parable of the Prodigal Son. Jack Chisholm is 'the people's pastor.' He leads a devoted and growing mega church, has several best-selling books, and a memorable slogan, 'We have got to do better.' Jack knows how to preach, and he understands how to chastise people into performing. What he doesn't know is anything about grace. This year, when it comes time for the Christmas sermon, the congregation at Grace Cathedral will look to the pulpit, and Jack will not be there. Of course, they will have seen plenty of him already - on the news. After an evening of debauchery that leads to an affair with his beautiful assistant, Jack Chisholm finds himself deserted with chilling swiftness. The church elders remove him from his own pulpit. His publisher withholds the royalties from his books. Worst of all, his wife disappears with their eight-year-old daughter. But just as Jack is hitting bottom, hopeless and penniless, drinking his way to oblivion, who should appear but his long-estranged father, imploring his prodigal son: 'Come home.' A true companion piece to The Ragamuffin Gospel, The Prodigal illustrates the power of grace through the story of a broken man who finally saw Jesus not because he preached his greatest sermon or wrote his most powerful book, but because he failed miserably. Jack Chisholm lost everything - his church, his family, his respect, and his old way of believing - but he found grace. It's the same grace that Brennan Manning devoted his life to sharing: profound in nature and coming from a God who loves us just as we are, and not as we should be. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Praised by The New York Times; O, The Oprah Magazine; Bitch Magazine; Slate; Publishers Weekly; and more, this is "a bracing corrective to a national mythology" (New York Times) around the civil rights movement.The civil rights movement has become national legend, lauded by presidents from Reagan to Obama to Trump, as proof of the power of American democracy. This fable, featuring dreamy heroes and accidental heroines, has shuttered the movement firmly in the past, whitewashed the forces that stood in its way, and diminished its scope. And it is used perniciously in our own times to chastise present-day movements and obscure contemporary injustice. In A More Beautiful and Terrible History, award-winning historian Jeanne Theoharis dissects this national myth-making, teasing apart the accepted stories to show them in a strikingly different light. We see Rosa Parks not simply as a bus lady but a lifelong criminal justice activist and radical; Martin Luther King, Jr. as not only challenging Southern sheriffs but Northern liberals, too; and Coretta Scott King as not only a "helpmate" but a lifelong economic justice and peace activist who pushed her husband's activism in these directions. Moving from "the histories we get" to "the histories we need", Theoharis challenges nine key aspects of the fable to reveal the diversity of people, especially women and young people, who led the movement; the work and disruption it took; the role of the media and "polite racism" in maintaining injustice; and the immense barriers and repression activists faced. Theoharis makes us reckon with the fact that far from being acceptable, passive, or unified, the civil rights movement was unpopular, disruptive, and courageously persevering. Activists embraced an expansive vision of justice - which a majority of Americans o ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kim Staunton.

    Lily James knows what she wants in a husband, and it isn't some alpha male who will expect her to do as she is told. Unfortunately for her, on the planet Meliora, matches are not made based on the whims of 18-year-old girls, but by a sophisticated computer program with access to data that allows it to know a woman's true needs even when she doesn't know them herself. Determined to make her own match, Lily attempts to hack the computer's database, but when her actions are discovered, she is given a harsh sentence: a punishment marriage. A man will still be chosen for her, but only after a thorough, intimate examination to properly evaluate her long-hidden need to be dominated. To make matters worse for Lily, once the match is made, her new husband will have full authority to take her in hand and chastise her in any way he sees fit. Commander Eric Burton never thought he would marry again after his wife's death, but when he is offered the chance to tame a wayward bride and earn a large stipend from the government at the same time, he can't pass up the opportunity.

    Dave loved to spank women, and Melanie, his steady girlfriend of two years, was happy to be on the other end of his strong arm whenever he wanted her. Their recent games with other couples had given them both a bit of a taste for other women, and Dave was itching to chastise another man's wife. Melanie had the idea: Why not advertise for one? Extract: Does your wife need a spanking? Are you a wife who is gagging to have her bottom reddened? Are you confused about domestic discipline? Stop worrying and call the spanking doctor... Dave jumped straight in. "Why do you want your bottom spanked, Angela?" There was a pause while the woman thought about that. "Erm, I do a job where I'm bossy all day, and sometimes I feel I just want somebody to tell me what to do and sort of take me in hand. Is that all right?" she added hopefully. "That's very honest of you, Angela. What is your job?" I'm a math teacher." "I see!" Dave paused for effect. "How would you describe yourself, Angela? Physically, I mean. Will I find you attractive?" "Well, I'm five foot nine, with light brown hair that goes to my shoulders. I'm told my face is pretty; I have large brown eyes and pouty lips..." "What are your measurements, Angela?" "Thirty-six C, twenty-four, thirty-four." "Very nice. Describe your nipples. Do they stick through your clothes when you're cold or excited?" "Yes, they are very obvious." "Do other men find you attractive?" "Yes." "How do you know?" "I often catch them looking at me when they think I haven't noticed." "Good. Are they sexually excited?" "Sometimes!" "So you look straight back at their cocks! What about other women?" "Excuse me...Master David?" "Do you catch other women looking at you?" Angela paused and was clearly embarrassed when she answered in a low ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jack Stern.
