Working It Out , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 447min
Most girls dream of slipping into a magical gown, running off to an extravagant ball, and kissing a so-called prince. But when Grace Warren is invited to a black tie event and a handsome stranger steals a kiss from her, she considers it highway robbery. If she never sees the presumptuous low-life again, it will be too soon. Weeks later, when Seth Tuttle hobbles into her rehab clinic, Grace wants nothing more than to pawn him off on another therapist. Unfortunately, her wishes came true about as often as ACL tears heal themselves, and Grace finds herself helping a man who doesn’t even remember kissing her. No one could blame her for making his therapy a little more painful than necessary, could they? Working it Out is about two strangers discovering there’s more to each other than meets the eye, and that sometimes it’s in the working out of things that wishes really can come true. ungekürzt.

Dear Girls Above Me: Inspired by a True Story , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 481min
Based on the wildly popular Twitter feed Dear Girls Above Me, a roman a clef about how thinking like a couple of girls turned one single guy into a better man.When Charlie McDowell began sharing his open letters to his noisy upstairs neighbors - two impossibly ditzy female roommates in their mid-twenties – on Twitter, his feed quickly went viral. His followers multiplied and he got the attention of everyone from celebrities to production studios to major media outlets such as Time and Glamour.Now Dear Girls breaks out of the 140-character limit as Charlie imagines what would happen if he put the wisdom of the girls to the test. After being unceremoniously dumped by the girl he was certain was “the one,” Charlie realized his neighbors’ conversations were not only amusing, but also offered him access to a completely uncensored woman’s perspective on the world. From the importance of effectively Facebook-stalking potential girlfriends and effortlessly pulling off pastel, to learning when in the early stages of dating is too presumptuous to bring a condom and how to turn food poisoning into a dieting advantage, the girls get Charlie into trouble, but they also get him out of it – without ever having a clue of their impact on him. ungekürzt.

Can I Cuddle Too?: A Taboo MILF Sex Confessions Fantasy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 31min, (USK 18)
Caught in the act of intimacy with her new husband, she cannot possibly guess how much damage the scene will cause to an impressionable young mind or how she'll be forced to address it. She struggles to fulfill her new role as a first-time wife and nurturing caregiver as perfectly as possible: so many needs to fulfill, of very different kinds, and she has so little experience in dealing with the unexpected challenges her new life holds. Treating her husband, Kevin, to a special night he'll never forget, she takes her time tending to his every sensual preference and their simultaneous oral pleasure in - and out - of the revealing negligee she debuts for his eyes only. The last thought on her mind is the possibility of their private moments, dirty words, and erotic teasing being witnessed by David, the young man in the household. All too soon, she discovers just how much of the sensual exchange David observes - and how his innocent mind assumes he deserves the same forms of affection from the female head of household. David's questions are blatant and presumptuous, his casual touch shockingly direct and needy, and he cannot be convinced that his relationship with the new woman in his life should be any different than hers with his father. David just wants to love her and be loved in return. And when her explanations and gentle corrections go ignored, there's only one way to deal with his growing need and hardening difficulty at comprehension. A hands-on approach is the only way David will learn. Her Most Taboo of Sex Confessions - His First-Time Taboo Experience - Their Forbidden Intimacy and Unexpected Taboo MILF Encounter ungekürzt.

Misreading Scripture with Western Eyes: Removing Cultural Blinders to Better Understand the Bible , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 523min
What was clear to the original readers of Scripture is not always clear to us. Because of the cultural distance between the biblical world and our contemporary setting, we often bring modern Western biases to the text. For example: When Western readers hear Paul exhorting women to "dress modestly", we automatically think in terms of sexual modesty. But most women in that culture would never wear racy clothing. The context suggests that Paul is likely more concerned about economic modesty - that Christian women not flaunt their wealth through expensive clothes, braided hair, and gold jewelry. Some readers might assume that Moses married "below himself" because his wife was a dark-skinned Cushite. Actually, Hebrews were the slave race, not the Cushites, who were highly respected. Aaron and Miriam probably thought Moses was being presumptuous by marrying "above himself". Western individualism leads us to assume that Mary and Joseph traveled alone to Bethlehem. What went without saying was that they were likely accompanied by a large entourage of extended family. Biblical scholars Brandon O'Brien and Randy Richards shed light on the ways that Western readers often misunderstand the cultural dynamics of the Bible. They identify nine key areas where modern Westerners have significantly different assumptions about what might be going on in a text. Drawing on their own cross cultural experience in global mission, O'Brien and Richards show how better self-awareness and understanding of cultural differences in language, time, and social mores allow us to see the Bible in fresh and unexpected ways. Getting beyond our own cultural assumptions is increasingly important for being Christians in our interconnected and globalized world. Learn to read Scripture as a member of the global body of Christ. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Allan Robertson.
