Pastoring Marginal or Inactive Cathlics, Hörbuch, Digital, 230min
How are marginal Catholics best approached? When is the best time to draw people back into the Church from the perspective of sociology and common sense? How are the general canon laws of the Church applied to specific people being ministered to? How are laws administered with love? Is it possible to be flexible and at the same time properly apply the laws of the Church to given situations? Should we deny the sacraments of baptism and marriage simply because the parents or the couple are not practicing the faith the way they should? What are the best ways to deal with non-practicing Catholics when they come to have their child baptized? Can non-Catholics be Godparents? What is a Christian witness as opposed to being a Godparent? What about ex-Catholics as Godparents? Should we deny a couple the sacrament of marriage because they are not practicing the faith or because they are living together? What does John Paul II say about this? How should the initial marriage interview be conducted? Why is living together not a good preparation for marriage? How can we reach out to such people in this situation? Is it the role of the pastor to judge the viability of the couple’s marriage? Should parents go to the wedding of their child that is being married outside the Church? What literature is available to help those who are marginal Catholics? How can we reach out to people on Christmas and Easter when many people come back for the high holidays? How can we use these holidays for evangelizing the marginal Catholics? How do we find out the questions that people are actually asking rather then the ones that the preachers are grappling with? How do we reach out to non-believers who come to Church during the high holidays? How do we revive the faith during times of grief, depression, and illness? Language: English. Narrator: Rev.

The Character of Virtue: Letters to a Godson , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 271min
Timeless wisdom from a renowned theologian on living well From the fairy godmother’s pumpkin coach to Herr Drosselmeyer’s nutcracker, godparents have long been associated with good gifts. But in The Character of Virtue theologian and ethicist Stanley Hauerwas offers his real-life godson something far more precious than toys or trinkets - the gift of hard-won wisdom on life and the process of maturing. In each of 16 letters - sent on the occasion of Laurence Wells’s baptism and every year thereafter - Hauerwas contemplates a specific virtue and its meaning for a child growing year by year into the Christian faith. Writing on kindness, courage, humility, joy, and more, Hauerwas distills centuries of religious thinking and decades of self-reflection into heartfelt personal epistles that are both timely and timeless. An introduction by Samuel Wells, Laurence’s father and Hauerwas’s friend, tells the story behind these letters and offers sage insight into what a godparent is and can be. ungekürzt.

The Diamond Slipper , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 855min
Dear Listener, What comes to mind when you think of a diamond slipper? Cinderella, perhaps? That's what Cordelia Brandenburg imagines when her godparents arrange a marriage for her with a man she's never met - a marriage that will take her to Versailles, far from the rigid confines of her childhood home. The betrothal gift is a charm bracelet with a tiny, glittering diamond slipper attached... as befits a journey into a fairytale future. But Cordelia - young, headstrong, and completely adorable - runs into trouble right away. Her escort to the wedding is the golden-eyed, sensual, teasing Viscount Leo Kierston. For Cordelia, it's love at first sight. Yet Leo seems to see only a spoiled child - perhaps it's the way she cheats at chess - and Cordelia is determined to show him the woman beneath. There is, however, no escaping her arranged marriage. She's devastated to discover that her new husband is an utterly loathsome tyrant who will stop at nothing to satisfy his twisted desires. My heart went out to Cordelia as she struggles courageously against a man determined to break her spirit. But her husband has a secret, one that will bring down the vengeance of Viscount Kierston and all who have reason to hate him. I hope you'll enjoy this love story of two of my very favorite characters. Warmest wishes, Jane Feather ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Serena Daniels.

Gossip: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 519min
The critically acclaimed author of Good-bye and Amen, Leeway Cottage, and More Than You Know returns with a sharply perceptive and emotionally resonant novel about all the ways we talk about one another, the sometimes fine line between showing concern and doing damage, and the difficulty of knowing the true obligations of friendship. "Did you know that the origin of the word gossip in English is 'god-sibling'? It's the talk between people who are godparents to the same child, people who have a legitimate loving interest in the person they talk about. It's talk that weaves a net of support and connection beneath the people you want to protect." Loviah "Lovie" French owns a small, high-end dress shop on Manhattan's Upper East Side. Renowned for her taste and discretion, Lovie is the one to whom certain women turn when they need "just the thing" for major life events - baptisms and balls, weddings and funerals - or when they just want to dish in the dressing room. Among the people who depend on Lovie's confidence are her two best friends since boarding school: Dinah Wainwright and Avis Metcalf. Outspoken and brimming with confidence, Dinah made a name for herself as a columnist covering the doings of New York's wealthiest and most fabulous. Shy, proper Avis, in many ways Dinah's opposite, rose to prominence in the art world with her quiet manners, hard work, and precise judgment. Despite the deep affection they both feel for Lovie, they have been more or less allergic to one another since a minor incident decades earlier that has been remembered and resented with what will prove to be unimaginable consequences. These uneasy acquaintances become unwillingly bound to one another when Dinah's favorite son and Avis's only daughter fall in love and marry. On the surface, Nick and Grace are the perfect match - a playful, romantic, buoyant, and beautiful pair. But their commitment will be strained by ungekürzt. Language: English.

Eight At The Lake (eBook, ePUB)
Set in the charming historic town of Dandridge, Tennessee, on the edge of the Great Smoky Mountains, Lin Stepp's sweet and touching story follows the unlikely romantic attraction between two characters with nothing in common but an undeniable zing.Samantha King, nationally known storm chaser with Weather First, is covering a hurricane hitting the Florida Panhandle when a sign slams into her, tossing her over a wall and into the pounding surf. Accidents demand recovery and Samantha reluctantly heads to her Aunt Dixie's in Dandridge, Tennessee, for a needed rest. The only plus, besides time with Dixie, is sharing time with her sister Andrea's children, taken in years ago by Ford and Laura McDaniel when Andrea and her husband were killed. Samantha has spent little time with the children over the years, due to her demanding work schedule, but she is purposed to get to know the children better while in Dandridge.Ford McDaniel, with a busy veterinary practice and part ownership in his family's lakeside resort, often wonders how in the world he ended up with eight children on his own. Yes, he and Laura agreed, as godparents to their best friends, Andrea and Adam Bradley, that if anything ever happened to them they'd raise their kids, but who imagined that scenario would ever occur? Still, he and Laura seemed to manage okay until Laura died, shattering his world and leaving him with eight small children to raise on his own. Now Andrea's celebrated sister Samantha is in town for a while and it's hard for Ford not to resent her carefree life-or to ignore his attraction to her, a relationship he clearly knows can only go nowhere.PRAISE FOR LIN STEPP'S SMOKY MOUNTAIN BOOKS:"Lin Stepp brings vibrancy and authentic detail to this breathtaking mountain setting like no one else can.
