    Blood Betrayal: FBI Agent Frank Murray , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 174min
    The bodies are piling high - 36 unsolved gangland murders at last count - and FBI Supervisor Hans Bauer has to do the unthinkable: put tough, independent Special Agent Frank Murray back on the squad he was twice kicked out of, Organized Crime. Mafia Kingpin Nick Scarponi is back from prison and orchestrating the bloodiest reign of mob killings in Philadelphia history and Frank Murray, who tossed Scarponi in the can three years earlier, is his number-one target. The taunt, tense, visually gritty story grabs you by the throat. The action-packed tale could only be crafted by someone who knows the art of cinematic pacing - acclaimed Director and Emmy nominated filmmaker, Robert Child. Blood Betrayal is a classic, big city mafia crime story that cuts to the bone. It feels all too real because it is. The story is based on an historic FBI prosecution and investigation led by Charles "Bud" Warner, the real life Frank Murray. FBI Director William Sessions, Attorney General Janet Reno, and President Bill Clinton commended him for his extraordinary work on this case. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Charles Hinckley.

    Hidden Killers: Jane Tennison, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 807min
    From the BAFTA award-winning creator of Prime Suspect, starring Helen Mirren, comes the blistering follow-up to the best-selling Tennison. Jane Tennison, a young, inexperienced WPC, learns the hard way never to take anyone - or anything - at face value, whether in her dealings with her police colleagues or when confronted by seemingly innocent suspects. Hidden Killers sees Jane acting as a decoy prostitute, with the hope of capturing a suspect wanted for numerous sexual assaults. The attacker is drawn in and put under arrest. Commended for bravery in the case, Jane is given CID status and moves from Hackney to Bow Street Station as detective. Her first call-out is to a nonsuspicious death. The victim is a young mother drowned tragically in her bath, leaving a bereft and doting husband and a young child. The two storylines interweave as Jane begins to doubt the evidence against her assailant in East London and becomes certain that the young woman in the bath did not drown in tragic circumstances. Two entirely different cases but one common thread - the lingering doubt in Jane's mind around the evidence...and around her colleagues. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Julie Teal.

    Sin: A History , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 622min
    What is sin? Is it simply wrongdoing? Why do its effects linger over time? In this sensitive, imaginative, and original work, Gary Anderson shows how changing conceptions of sin and forgiveness lay at the very heart of the biblical tradition. Spanning nearly 2,000 years, the book brilliantly demonstrates how sin, once conceived of as a physical burden, becomes, over time, eclipsed by economic metaphors. Transformed from a weight that an individual carried, sin becomes a debt that must be repaid in order to be redeemed in God's eyes.Anderson shows how this ancient Jewish revolution in thought shaped the way the Christian church understood the death and resurrection of Jesus and eventually led to the development of various penitential disciplines, deeds of charity, and even papal indulgences. In so doing, it reveals how these changing notions of sin provided a spur for the Protestant Reformation.Broad in scope while still exceptionally attentive to detail, this ambitious and profound book unveils one of the most seismic shifts that occurred in religious belief and practice, deepening our understanding of one of the most fundamental aspects of human experience.The book is published by Yale University Press. The audiobook is published by University Press Audiobooks.Selected as a Choice Outstanding Academic Title."Wonderful and surprising…a significant contribution…" (Commonweal)"Highly commended to students, scholars, and libraries as a valuable and insightful addition."

    Wilding: The Return of Nature to a British Farm , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 742min
    Winner of the Richard Jefferies Society and White Horse Book Shop Literary Prize.Highly Commended by the Wainwright Golden Beer Book Prize.In Wilding, Isabella Tree tells the story of the ‘Knepp experiment’, a pioneering rewilding project in West Sussex, using free-roaming grazing animals to create new habitats for wildlife. Part gripping memoir, part fascinating account of the ecology of our countryside, Wilding is, above all, an inspiring story of hope.Forced to accept that intensive farming on the heavy clay of their land at Knepp was economically unsustainable, Isabella Tree and her husband, Charlie Burrell, made a spectacular leap of faith: they decided to step back and let nature take over. Thanks to the introduction of free-roaming cattle, ponies, pigs and deer - proxies of the large animals that once roamed Britain - the 3,500 acre project has seen extraordinary increases in wildlife numbers and diversity in little over a decade.Extremely rare species, including turtle doves, nightingales, peregrine falcons, lesser spotted woodpeckers and purple emperor butterflies, are now breeding at Knepp, and populations of other species are rocketing. The Burrells’ degraded agricultural land has become a functioning ecosystem again, heaving with life - all by itself.Personal and inspirational, Wilding is an astonishing account of the beauty and strength of nature, when it is given as much freedom as possible. ungekürzt.

    Fourteen Days Later: Helen Grey, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 511min
    Amazon Top 100 Bestselling Book Fourteen Days Later was short listed for the Harry Bowling Prize 2008 and received a Highly Commended by the Yeovil Literary Prize 2009. It is a romantic comedy with a unique infusion of British and Turkish Cypriot culture. Written in a similar style to Sophie Kinsella and Marian Keyes, it is My Big Fat Greek Wedding meets Bridget Jones. When accident-prone Helen Grey finds a thong stuffed into the pocket of her boyfriend's best work trousers, it's time for her to move on. His excuse that he needed to dust the photocopier and just thought that it was a rag sounds like a lame excuse. Helen's life is propelled in an unexpected direction after her best friend, Ayshe, sets her a 14-day, life-changing challenge. Helen receives a task everyday which she must complete without question. The tasks are designed to build her confidence and boost her self-esteem but all they seem to do is push her closer to Ayshe's brother, Kalem. How will Kalem and Helen get together when she's too foolish to realize that she loves him? How can he fall for her when he is too busy falling prey to her mishaps and too in love with his own perfect girlfriend? How will Kalem's Turkish Cypriot family react when they find out? Is it really possible to change your life in 14 days? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Fiona Hardingham. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/025660/bk_acx0_025660_sample.mp3.

    Thinking of Him , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 103min
    In her brief but concisely written and organized book, Thinking of Him, Paula Behrens has done the faith community a great service. In layman's terms, free of academic jargon, she has provided both a theological primer and a catechism of what C. S. Lewis has called "mere" Christianity. Though Behrens writes from a Methodist perspective, her book affirms all the key doctrines of the Nicene Creed (Trinity, Incarnation, Atonement, Resurrection) and, as such, should be accepted by all orthodox believers. Some may wish to add to her primer, but there is nothing that can or should be taken away. She is to be commended in particular for her clear treatment of the three persons of the Trinity, her affirmation of the Church and sacraments, and her discussion of justification, sanctification, and prevenient grace. These affirm fully the sovereignty and prerogative of God while not robbing man of true freedom of choice. Both orthodox and accessible, Thinking of Him will help Christians to know what they believe. - Louis Markos, professor in English and scholar in residence, Houston Baptist University; author of Apologetics for the 21st Century. Eight sessions: 1- Introduction (Theology) 2- God (Creator, Trinity) 3 - Creation (Providence, Human Condition) 4 - Jesus Christ (Redeemer) 5 - The Holy Spirit (Sustainer) 6 - The Church (Purpose, Mission, Ministry, Word and Sacrament) 7 - Salvation (Justification, Sanctification, Prevenient Grace) 8 - Eschatology (Parousia, Everlasting Life, Kingdom of God) ungekürzt.
