The Ax of Gold: A Greek Folktale, Hörbuch, Digital, 7min
Award-winning storyteller Bill Gordh (Film Advisory Board Award of Excellence winner, National Association of Parenting Periodicals Gold Award winner) presents this folk tale live with no script, accompanied only by his own dynamic banjo playing. An old farmer was out in the woods chopping wood for his family when his ax slipped from his hands and went flying into the river. The farmer was so upset, he cried out to the river. The river spirit heard him and up out of the river rose a silver ax. "Is this your ax?" asked the River Spirit. The framer would have loved the ax, but he was an honest man and he said, "No." The silver ax went back into the water. Then out of the waters came a gold ax. "Is this your ax?" asked the River Spirit. Again the old man answered, "No." The gold ax went back down into the water. Now the man's old ax came up out of the water. "Is this your ax?" "Yes!" exclaimed the man. "That's it!" and the ax moved across the water into the man's outstretched hands. He thanked the River Spirit and began to leave. The Spirit asked him to stop and told him that for his honesty, he could have the ax of silver and the ax of gold. The man wept with joy. When he told some people in town about what had happened, one of his neighbors decided that he would do the same thing and get rich. He grabbed his ax and threw it into the river and pretended to cry. The river spirit brought up an ax of gold and the man claimed it as his own. When he reached out for the gold ax, the ax moved back out over the water and the man fell in and floated away. Language: English. Narrator: Bill Gordh.

Ivan Pavlov: The Life and Legacy of the Famous Russian Psychologist , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 87min
“Don't become a mere recorder of facts, but try to penetrate the mystery of their origin.” (Pavlov)Pavlov's dogs are to Psychology 101 what Rome is to antiquity classes. This particular series of experiments and the concept of classical conditioning likely ring a bell for many readers and listeners because they have been referenced in countless texts, both scientific and otherwise, and they have seeped into various forms of pop culture throughout the years.More often than not, the man behind this universally applicable phenomenon gets mentioned in conjunction with the dogs, which only cements his status as a household name over 80 years after his death. In the critically acclaimed comedy The Office, the resident prankster Jim conditions his coworker Dwight with the default Microsoft jingle that plays when a user “unlocks” their workstation and some mints. For days on end, Jim reboots his computer, prompting the memorable two-note tune, and offers his colleague an Altoid each time. One day, Jim restarts his computer, only this time he makes no further movements, and without missing a beat, Dwight instinctively extends his palm. Dwight continued on with his work with an outstretched hand, only snapping out of his daze when Jim inquired what it was that his colleague was doing. “I - I don't know,” a genuinely baffled Dwight admits. His face then contorts with disgust, and he complains about the unsavory taste in his mouth.The “relatability” of the classical conditioning experiment is perhaps why it is so often used on the screen, both big and small. The aforementioned examples of the phenomenon may not have taken place in reality, but similar ones manifest can be found in various aspects of daily life. When a child is taunted and teased in school, they may begin to feign illness and drum up all sorts of excuses to stay home from school, for they have now equated the establishment with feelings of terror and dread. Similarly, children who ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bill Hare. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/152025/bk_acx0_152025_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.- Shop: Audible

Unstoppable: Step into Your Purpose, Run Your Race, Embrace the Future , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 377min
Unstoppable will encourage you to run the race God has placed before you with new confidence. (Joyce Meyer, Bible teacher and best-selling author) Have you been a spiritual spectator for too long, waiting on the sidelines, thinking God could never use you for something big? Maybe you have been searching for greater purpose. Well get prepared, because God has a baton ready to put in your hand. Christine Caine didn't think she had what it took to make a difference in the world. Then, inspired by her love of Olympic relays, Caine decided that she should start a relay herself - a global team of individuals and organizations passing a baton to one another in a race to end human trafficking. Now Caine's organization, A21, is on a mission to end slavery, one woman, one man, one child, at a time which sometimes means operating in some of the most dangerous situations on earth - all because Caine realized that with God leading the relay, she was unstoppable. With fascinating stories and inspiring Scripture, Unstoppable takes us on Caine's journey from feelings of inadequacy to trust in God's provision to joy in seeing victory over suffering. Her remarkable story inspires us to embrace the power of being on God's team - whether we are fighting human trafficking, leading a church, or starting a movement for good in our own community. No longer stuck on the sidelines, we will see how God has uniquely prepared us for the big dreams He calls us to carry out in His name. If you think your faith isn't strong enough to conquer something big like human trafficking, think again. In Unstoppable, you will learn to recognize what you can do, knowing that when God calls your name, you will be ready, hand outstretched to receive the baton.

The Distance Home: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 559min
“[Paula] Saunders skillfully illuminates how time heals certain wounds while deepening others.... A mediation of the violence of American ambition.” (The New York Times Book Review)Named one of the best books of the year by Real Simple.“A deeply involving portrait of the American postwar family” (Jennifer Egan) about sibling rivalry, dark secrets, and a young girl’s struggle with freedom and artistic desireIn the years after World War II, the bleak yet beautiful plains of South Dakota still embody all the contradictions - the ruggedness and the promise - of the old frontier. This is a place where you can eat strawberries from wild vines, where lightning reveals a boundless horizon, where descendants of white settlers and native Indians continue to collide, and where, for most, there are limited options.René shares a home, a family, and a passion for dance with her older brother, Leon. Yet for all they have in common, their lives are on remarkably different paths. In contrast to René, a born spitfire, Leon is a gentle soul. The only boy in their ballet class, Leon silently endures often brutal teasing. Meanwhile, René excels at everything she touches, basking in the delighted gaze of their father, whom Leon seems to disappoint no matter how hard he tries.As the years pass, René and Leon’s parents fight with increasing frequency - and ferocity. Their father - a cattle broker - spends more time on the road, his sporadic homecomings both yearned for and dreaded by the children. And as René and Leon grow up, they grow apart. They grasp whatever they can to stay afloat - a word of praise, a grandmother’s outstretched hand, the seductive attention of a stranger - as René works to save herself, crossing the border into a larger, more hopeful world, while Leon embarks on a path of despair and self-destruction.Tender, searing, and unforgettable, The Distance Home is a profoundly American story spanning d ungekürzt.

How Does God Speak?: Understand Your Dreams. Hear God's Voice , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 127min
Have you noticed how we live in a fast-paced and instant world, where a belief in God seems to be losing its relevance? Do you also meet with people who constantly question the existence, validity, and usefulness of belief in a supreme being? Have you ever wondered if God was real or if he ever spoke? Do you wonder whether he is interested in the affairs of men?I believe God is real. He is a loving Father with outstretched arms, waiting and calling out for us to come back to him. He desires us to come closer for a life-changing and purposeful relationship with him. He is talking all the time. Maybe, we just need to slow down, tune in, and listen, sometimes.I know there are times when it seems he’s gone frightfully quiet; even then, he’s still with us. At these times, he is gently encouraging us to trust in his ever-abiding presence. In this audiobook, I share some of my own life experience and frustrating conversations to encourage you to see and explore how real God is.On so many occasions when he has spoken to me, my default behavior has been to dismiss his voice and warnings. The more I slowed down and stopped to listen, the more I obeyed, and the more clearer did his voice seem to me.Mark Virkler, founder of the Christian Leadership University, has kindly added a chapter of his best-selling book 4 Keys to Hearing Gods Voice to this book! He adds, "May God get this book into the hands of all whom he will bless with it."Here is what Charity Kayembe, who also teaches dream interpretation, had to say: “ Thank you so much. You are a blessing! And I’m grateful that you are sharing the message that God speaks through dreams with others. May God’s blessing and anointing be upon you, your new book, and your entire ministry in Jesus’ name!” Understand your dreams. Hear God’s voice. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Quantum Mechanix - Avatar - Aang Q-Fig Max Elite
The Last AirbenderThe incarnation of the spirit of light and peace known as the Avatar, Aang is capable of bending all four elements in nature - fire, water, earth and air. The last of his people, he can control the winds with ease as he seeks to keep the four elemental nations in balance.Inspired by Nickelodeon’s beloved Avatar: The Last Airbender, behold as Aang demonstrates his mastery of air in our new Aang Q-Fig Max Elite.While Aang is a pacifist by nature, his bending skills are unmatched and capable of explosive power - if you push him too far. The Last Airbender conjures a furious maelstrom in our Aang Q-Fig Max Elite, powerful enough to shield himself and with a fury that can even erode stone. The winds whip around Aang, lifting leaves and rocks high into the air. Perched high on a cliffside, Aang bends the whirlwind with his wooden staff while dressed in the traditional robes of the Air Nomads. And while Aang may be the last of his kind, he is certainly not alone - his loyal companion Momo soars and glides on the gusts high above him.The colossal Aang Q-Fig Max Elite stands approximately 9 inches tall from the base of the clouds to the tip of Momo’s outstretched wing. The vortex surrounding Aang is crafted in translucent material, capturing the majesty of airbending in all its glory. Momo seemingly rides the current, passing over Aang’s head which has been adorned with mastery tattoos. No detail has been spared in bringing The Last Airbender to life for your Q-Fig collection.- Shop: odax
