The Real Food Revolution: Healthy Eating, Green Groceries, and the Return of the American Family Farm , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 283min
Today a buck gets you a quick burger (or two), but what's the real cost of that meal? The rates of chronic disease - specifically diseases like diabetes, caused by our lifestyles - have grown exponentially in recent years, edging medical expenses higher while threatening to give America its first generation to actually live shorter lives than their parents. Unfortunately finding good nutrition is no walk in the park, with more Americans living in cities, far from a farmer's field. To overcome distance and undercut price, we rely on industry to put dinner on the table - yet this system has valued efficiency and short-term profits over our own health and the health of our environment. So how do we keep America thriving? Congressman Tim Ryan may have a soft spot for chicken wings and ice cream, but he also knows the joy of farm-fresh produce and the feel of soil between his fingers. In this audiobook, he lays out the problems we face and gives easy, actionable steps that anyone can take to solve them, from starting an herb garden to helping implement food education in schools to petitioning your elected officials. The commonsense ideas he presents, will help you improve the quality of life for you and future generations. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Congressman Tim Ryan.

A Psalm for Lost Girls , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 627min
I'll Give You the Sun meets True Detective in this brilliant YA debut about saints, sisters, and learning to let go. Tess da Costa is a saint - a hand-to-god miracle-producing saint. At least that's what the people in her hometown of New Avon, Massachusetts, seem to believe. And when Tess suddenly and tragically passes away, her small city begins feverishly petitioning the Pope to make Tess' sainthood official. Tess' mother is ecstatic over the fervor while her sister Callie, the one who knew Tess best, is disgusted - overcome with the feeling that her sister is being stolen from her all over again. The fervor for Tess' sainthood only grows when Ana Langone, a local girl who's been missing for six months, is found alive at the foot of one of Tess' shrines. It's the final straw for Callie. With the help of Tess' secret boyfriend, Danny, Callie's determined to prove that Tess was something far more important than a saint; she was her sister, her best friend, and a girl in love with a boy. But Callie's investigation uncovers much more than she bargained for - a hidden diary, old family secrets, and even the disturbing truth behind Ana's kidnapping. Told in alternating perspectives, A Psalm for Lost Girls is at once funny, creepy, and soulful - an impressive debut from a rising literary star. Narrator list: Callie read by Saskia Maarleveld Tess' journal entries read by Kyla Garcia General narration by Julia Whelan ungekürzt. Language: English.

Flight of the Puffin (eBook, ePUB)
The author of The Benefits of Being an Octopus delivers a stirring novel in which one small act of kindness ripples out to connect four kids in need of support. Libby comes from a long line of bullies. To cope, she leaves motivational postcards around town for others who might feel as belittled as she does. When she hears about a kid on the other side of the country who's getting the bully treatment, she mails him a postcard saying: "You're amazing." That kid is Vincent. His plan to stop the bullying backfired in a big way, so he's stopped going to school. But when he gets Libby's note, he's so moved by her gesture that he wants to help someone, too. He starts bringing food to T, who's homeless and living on a sidewalk. T doesn't identify as male or female, and ran away from home because their family wouldn't accept them. As T and Vincent get to know each other, T helps build Vincent's confidence, and inspires him to write to a kid he saw in the newspaper recently. That kid is Jack. He's been petitioning to keep his small school open; it might lose funding if it doesn't make some changes. One of them is to add a gender-neutral bathroom--making transgender students a hot-button issue at the school board meeting. Jack gets misquoted in a newspaper that Vincent reads, and Vincent sends him a letter explaining how we all need to listen better and let people be who they are. Vincent's letter helps Jack start thinking more deeply, as does meeting Libby, who is astounded at how much change her small act of hopefulness has wrought . . . and will continue to ripple out.- Shop: buecher

Saint Frances of Rome , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 9min
We have been asked to write on lay people who became Saints. As we researched our last book, Visionaries, Mystics and Stigmatists, we found ourselves writing on many saints and blesseds, brothers and sisters who came from a life very much like our own; they never entered the religious life but instead served the Lord right where he had planted them, within their families. St. Frances of Rome is one such saint and visionary. True saints are remembered long past their life here on earth; they are an everlasting remembrance of how very much God loves us, and when we accept that love, how very much he can change our lives. Till today, if you visit Rome, you can pray before her tomb, seeking her intercession - powerful in life and powerful in death. If you were to visit the church on her Feast Day, you would be among the countless faithful who still pray hopefully, petitioning her to intervene for them with the Lord, their families having passed down the good news of miracles through her intercession. St. Frances of Rome's story is one of joy and sorrow, of faith and of hope at a dire time in the world and in the Church. I do not know about you, but I am tired of reading over and over again how, throughout the last 20 centuries, the world has influenced the Church instead of the Church influencing the world. It's time for a change, I say! The more we read about these great saints who have brought us messages from our celestial family of what joy is awaiting us in heaven, and from the Church suffering what agony our brothers and sisters are enduring in purgatory, it gives us reason to pause in our busy, worldly filled days and meditate on what is really important. Will we pay for every soul who does not choose everlasting life with Jesus in paradise and instead chooses the temporary rewards of life on earth, because we did not tell him about the treasures of our most precious Roman Catholic Church? Will we share in the punishment of those who have ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Luz Elena Sandoval-Lord. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/211112/bk_acx0_211112_sample.mp3.
