Some Words of Mine “and a Few Quotes" , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 14min
A book of short quotable profundity and some quotes from known quotable people. Tim Higgins is a writer of sorts, of things of whatever his mind takes him to write.Usually, he is verbose and given to his own mantra of “why say only five words, when you can use 50?” Occasionally, he writes a rather profound thing, which he reads back when sober and thinks “Did I really write that?” This is the culmination of those moments, even if a few of the "memey moments" have come from some distant source that entered his mind many years ago.Only just under 2000 words in total, this is a book of quality over quantity, and one to be listened to and useful for future use, for generations to come (Tim hopes). ungekürzt.

Astonishing Tales* - Stories and Essays (*Your Astonishment May Vary) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 240min
In his new collection of stories and essays, acclaimed author and humorist Matt Geiger seeks to de-familiarize us from the world, from the smallest detail to the most cosmic mythology, in order to see it all as if for the first time. Turning his philosopher's vision to his own abundant Neanderthal DNA, parenting, competitive axe throwing, old age, and much more, he sets out in search of comic profundity. With a nod to the limits of human knowledge and understanding, particularly his own, he draws from the wisdom of an 83-year-old pin-up legend, Peter the Great, Santa Claus, modern boxers, Medieval monks, and of course small children. Blending whimsy and gravitas, he unveils beauty, joy, and happiness in a seemingly broken world. Audiobook narrated by the author, Matt Geiger. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Matt Geiger.

Brideshead Revisited (eBook, ePUB)
Evelyn Waugh's stunning novel of duty and desire set amongst the decadent, faded glory of the English aristocracy in the run-up to the Second World WarThe most nostalgic and reflective of Evelyn Waugh's novels, Brideshead Revisited looks back to the golden age before the Second World War. It tells the story of Charles Ryder's infatuation with the Marchmains and the rapidly disappearing world of privilege they inhabit. Enchanted first by Sebastian Flyte at Oxford, then by his doomed Catholic family, in particular his remote sister, Julia, Charles comes finally to recognise his spiritual and social distance from them.If you enjoyed Brideshead Revisited, you might like Waugh's Vile Bodies, also available in Penguin Classics.'Lush and evocative ...

Jesus and Dirt: A Fresh Look at the Parable of the Sower , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 50min
Jesus was an amalgamation of profundity and simplicity. God and human. Redeemer become servant. Creator and carpenter. Lord and sacrificial lamb. Because he was god he spoke with authority, and his words still resonate today. Because he was a simple Jewish carpenter, accustomed to a common life, he spoke with simplicity - and his words still resonate today.This parable should really be entitled “The Parable of the Soil”, because the story, and the truths emphasized therein, do not focus on the one sowing seed. The focus of the story is about the soil. It’s about dirt. In Matthew 13, Jesus taught how the hearts of people can differ regarding openness, or receptiveness, to God's Word. And who knows the hearts of mankind better than the creator/carpenter? He has the dirt on all of us! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Robert James.
