Happy Hellidays: When Holidays Lose Their Holiness , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 321min

Is Christmas just a repackaged Pagan holiday? Should we worry about dressing in a costume in October as being akin to worshiping the devil? Why do we give people pink candies in the middle of February every year?If you are like many modern Americans, the calendar rolls on, and these days appear and disappear. The stores become colored with the seasonal hues as we are coerced through peer pressure to buy flowers for that special someone, keep candy on hand for the neighborhood children, and let’s not forget to make room in the freezer for the bird we plan to roast just before darting out of the door way too early to find ourselves shopping, spending money we often do not have to buy more things we can barely fit into our houses. The heart of the holidays is missing.As we examine each holiday, we will explore the original meaning of each of our modern faith-based celebrations, comb through the myths, and present the best research we have to date about the origin stories. We will explore not only those origins, but the ebb and flow of seasonal opinion over the years including how we have become numb to these special days. We conclude each chapter with a call to return to Godly worship.We will look first at what a holiday is in scope of Biblical analysis and then focus on the sin of covetousness as it relates to the American approach of holidays. Finally, we will tackle the holidays in the order they appear in the calendar year. We examine the origin of New Year’s celebrations, Valentine's and St. Patrick’s Days, Easter, Halloween (yes, it does have Christian roots), Thanksgiving, and, finally, Christmas.For those of you who want to know the dirty details about how God mandated many holidays, we have an appendix exploring the many required Jewish feasts.Chapters: What’s In a Holy Day?

This is Koenig's story from growing up as the neurotic child of Russian immigrants in 1940s Manhattan through his rise to Star Trek fame as Pavel Chekov, Russian navigator of the U.S.S. Enterprise, and beyond.Koenig's very human narrative is full of the kind of insecurities and quirks to which anyone can relate. With wry wit, striking candor, and a true gift for storytelling, Koening takes us on a sometimes bumpy but often hilarious trip through his galaxy. Blind faith and a healthy sense of irony seem to sustain him as he relates a steady stream of anecdotes.Of course, this amusing memoir also takes us behind the scenes of Star Trek, with fresh perspectives not only on the cast members themselves but also on the development and evolution of the sci-fi legend. Having also enjoyed both critical and popular success on Babylon 5, Koening has repeatedly confirmed his enduring position in science fiction's acting pantheon. Language: English.

Box 13, Vol. 2: The Classic Radio Collection, Hörbuch, Digital, 321min

Movie star Alan Ladd played Dan Holiday, a former newspaperman turned mystery novelist and adventurer. To gain ideas for his books, Holiday placed an ad in the Star-Times newspaper: "Adventure wanted - will go anywhere, do anything - write Box 13, Star-Times." It wasn't long before his post office box became jammed with adventure offers galore. The stories follow his escapades when he responds to the letters. Holiday always had more adventure than he had originally sought, because those who responded to his ad never revealed all of their glorious, unusual, and sometimes sinister details until they met in person and the adventure had already begun. Holiday's scatterbrained secretary, Suzy, played by Sylvia Picker, added touches of humor to this mystery-adventure and its nail-biting story lines. Box 13 was produced by Mayfair Productions, a company run by Alan Ladd and Richard Sandville. In addition to producing Box 13, Ladd also wrote some of the scripts. Included are these 12 exciting episodes: "Hot Box" (26 Dec. 1948), "The Better Man" (2 Jan. 1949), "The Professor and the Puzzle" (9 Jan. 1949), "The Dowager and Dan Holiday" (16 Jan. 1949), "Three to Die" (23 Jan. 1949), "The Philanthropist" (30 Jan. 1949), "Last Will and Nursery Rhyme" (6 Feb. 1949), "Delinquent Dilemma" (13 Feb. 1949), "One One Three Point Five" (20 Mar. 1949), "Dan and the Wonderful Lamp" (27 Mar. 1949), "Tempest in a Casserole" (3 Apr. 1949), and "Mexican Maze" (10 Apr. 1949).

Sara! You must come out! You're wanted downstairs right away, Lucie hissed through the keyhole on the locked bedroom door. "Stepmama is furious and Father has sent word that he's coming home early from the Exchange. She says he's in a rage over what you've done!" "I haven't done anything! It's not my fault if those two hotheads decide to fight a duel!" came her sister's indignant voice from the other side of the door. "Oh, Sara, please!" Lucie pleaded. "Father will be here any minute. You must do as you're told!" She shook her head and sighed ruefully, "You're stubborn, Sara." "No," denied Sara. "I am strong." Thus begins the bittersweet story of beautiful Sara Leighton, the headstrong heroine of Folly's Bride, the fourth in the Brides of Montclair series.
