Bear Circus of Twilight , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 12min
In a deep, desolate forest, towering pines surround a circus tent. Pass through the tent doors and discover a mystical world. A thick mist hovers, the overture begins, and the stillness is interrupted by circus-performing bears. The bears are controlled by the ringmaster, Monsieur Buggbear, who obtained a magical baton with a secret power. Discard cute and cuddly, these creatures are from another realm. Shaggy, smart and sly...this production has no humans and that is the magic of Bear Circus of Twilight. Also included is a prequel, cleverly cited at the end. This five-stanza poem titled, "The Legend of the Baton: In the Beginning", explains how Monsieur Buggbear gained his power and created Bear Circus of Twilight. And lastly, a complete glossary is narrated to help define all the magical words. Enter this circus at your own risk and enjoy the show! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: David Doersch.

The Opening , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 339min
The Opening addresses the age-old question "what happens when we die?" with a spiritual fantasy of immense charm and imagination. At once an insightful meditation on life's passages and a vision of unearthly realms, it creates an enchanted world where characters connect with one another between here and the hereafter across the thinnest of lines. Joe St. John wanders into a blizzard and falls through an opening that leads him to amazing, sometimes harrowing places where he encounters the major turning points in his life. Along the way, he revisits his missed opportunities, uncovers his life's core trauma, and is given mysterious geometrical symbols that hold the key to his future. As Joe's soul hovers between two worlds he will discover the truth about life and death, and be confronted with the ultimate choice: save his own life, or give it up for someone he loves. ungekürzt.

Clay in the Potter's Hands: Second Edition , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 116min
Most Christians have heard that God is the potter and we are the clay, but Diana Pavlac Glyer, who has spent countless hours at the potter's wheel, shows in this remarkable book that this saying is far more than a casual metaphor. As God hovers over his creation, centering us or shaping us or even restoring us from collapse, he may transform us in ways we never imagined."This is a really good book! It manages to combine depth and simplicity which is rare, but I think it is the way it treats our experience of pain and brokenness which really sets it apart. The chapters on Returning, Repairing, and Redeeming were especially moving and significant for me. This book is going to be so helpful to so many people!"

Hunter's Moon: Family Pack, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 521min
Try not to listen to those who whisper. Tommy Roling has a great freelance job, a healthy daughter, and a new city to call home. Plus he's finally comfortable with the fact that he's a werewolf. So why isn't he happy? Could it be his daughter's "terrible twos", which seem even more terrible because she chooses to stay in her wolf body most of the time? Or is it his growing distance from his family, as well as Nina, his on-again, off-again girlfriend? Those questions remain unanswered as a group of strangers disrupt the lives of Tommy, his daughter, and his slacker brother. The strangers give Tommy and his small pack a harsh glimpse of the whispering madness that hovers just outside the safe boundaries of their fragile little world. A world that Tommy just might not be able to hold together on his own. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Maxwell Zener.
