    How to Become a Powerful Prayer Warrior: Improve Your Trust in God So You Proclaim His Gospel Forward With: The Prophet Jeremiah , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 395min
    God rescued the author, Glenn Langohr, from a prison cell, with "urgings to start writing". That was 17 years ago and with 70 books published, Glenn is on fire for God's Word. He attempts to disciple other released prisoners in redemption house.The Book of Jeremiah teaches us how much it breaks God's heart when his church turns away from him. God used his prophet of the heart to tell the church they needed to turn back to god. They "falsely thought" that because they were going to the Temple that they were okay. Jeremiah goes from a "weeping prophet" who "lashed out" in his emotions, to a sturdy man of God who shined heavenly inheritance and stood in the gap in the bold obedience God called him into.In 2019, under the new covenant of grace, the church faces similar issues of idolatry. God told us through Jeremiah that they "were living by the dictates of their own hearts". The question this audiobook begs is are we blinded to sin again? 50 million abortions per year and 200 drug overdoses per day, with 60% from the legal drugs from big pharma speaks volumes about the "falsehoods" our churches are stuck in, yet again. This audiobook challenges you to ask God how to become bolder in your family, church, and sphere of influence to urge people to turn back to Jesus Christ in true repentance. ungekürzt.

    Rose Kennedy: The Life and Times of a Political Matriarch , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 892min
    An unprecedented look at the life of Rose Kennedy reveals the private woman who became a political legend. In her compelling and intimate portrait, presidential historian Barbara A. Perry captures Rose Kennedy’s essential contributions to the incomparable Kennedy dynasty. This biography - the first to draw on an invaluable cache of Rose’s newly released diaries and letters - unearths the complexities behind the impeccable persona she showed the world. The woman who emerges in these pages is a fascinating character: savvy about her family’s reputation and resilient enough to persevere through the unfathomable tragedies that befell her. As a young woman, she defied her father, Boston mayor John Fitzgerald, by marrying ambitious businessman Joseph Kennedy. During Joe’s diplomatic career, she began carefully calibrating her family’s image, stage-managing photo shoots and interviews of her nine children and herself. After husband Joe’s isolationist views on the eve of World War II made him a political liability, Rose took to the campaign trail for son Jack. Her perfectionism, initially a response to the strictures imposed upon Catholic women, ultimately created a family portrait that resonated in modern politics and media. Perry’s account looks past the fanfare, poignantly revealing the matriarch’s vulnerability. Rose sought solace from crushing personal tragedies and a philandering husband in prayer, habitual shopping, travel, and medication. Initially ashamed and afraid of daughter Rosemary’s mental disability, Rose ultimately shined a light on the affliction, raising millions of dollars for disabled children. An indefatigable campaigner for Jack, Bobby, and Teddy, she had an unshakable Catholic faith that informed their compassionate social policies and her daughters’ philanthropies. This definitive biography, Rose Kennedy provides unequaled access to the life of a remarkable woman who witnessed a century of history and masked her family ungekürzt. Language: English.

    In Viscus Veritas , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 34min
    Love doesn't fade. Love is written into the flesh. To the bone.But is that deep enough?Longing eats him like a cancer. A longing that sometimes wears her face. He's dreamt of her since childhood. Like Heathcliff or Gatsby or that schmuck from Great Expectations. He'd left her though and when he saw her, 17 and faintly pressing the edge of adulthood, he'd seen her from a distance. He clutched his distance like a coat against bitter wind, fearing her. Fearing the death of his dream. How could she, all flesh and blood and fiery human will, be the boyhood fantasy he'd treasured for years? The ghost of his fantasy beckoned from within her. She had the same deep little girl eyes. The same slender, nail tipped, hands. The same sharp boots and heartbreaker viciousness that had busted the shins and hearts of the schoolyard boys.The second time he'd seen her, when she was a woman of 22, he couldn't stay away. She'd caught him completely by surprise, though he was pretty sure the feeling was mutual. He sat in a dive bar waiting for his roommate, Sam, to show up. His roommate was bringing a friend of his, a one-time f--k buddy who'd moved to New York. She'd walked in on Sam's arm, faintly familiar and undeniably hot. Her red hair fell past her shoulders, her darkly painted lips shined against her pale skin. She wore a summer dress and wholly impractical shoes, their high heels made of clear plastic so she seemed to always hover on tiptoe.New adult erotic romance. UST. Adult listeners only. ungekürzt.

    American Legends: The Life of Solomon Northup , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 96min
    Having been born a freeman, and for more than 30 years enjoyed the blessings of liberty in a free State - and having at the end of that time been kidnapped and sold into Slavery, where I remained, until happily rescued in the month of January, 1853, after a bondage of 12 years - it has been suggested that an account of my life and fortunes would not be uninteresting to the public. (Solomon Northup) A lot of time has been spent covering the lives of history's most influential figures, but how much of the forest is lost for the trees? In Charles River Editors' American Legends series, listeners can get caught up on the lives of America's most important men and women in the time it takes to finish a commute. And they can do so while learning interesting facts long forgotten or never known. In 2013 the release of the critically acclaimed 12 Years a Slave once again shined the spotlight on slave narratives. The movie's depiction of Solomon Northup's slave narrative pushed him front and center in the public consciousness. Northup's life was quite unique because he was born a free African-American in the state of New York, and he spent the first 33 years of his life living as a free man there. However, in 1841, he was tricked into traveling to Washington, DC, with the promise of employment as a violinist, only to be subsequently sold into slavery and forced to work as a slave on a plantation in Louisiana. For 12 years he endured the plight of being a slave. So when he gained his freedom in 1853, he was well positioned to write an account that poignantly described the barbaric system of slavery in the Deep South. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Purple Diaries: Mary Astor and the Most Sensational Hollywood Scandal of the 1930s , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 525min
    1936 was a great year for the movie industry - the financial setbacks of the Great Depression were subsiding, so theater attendance was up. Americans everywhere were watching the stars, and few stars shined as brightly as one of America's most enduring screen favorites, Mary Astor. But Astor's personal story wasn't a happy one. Born poor and widowed at 24, Mary Astor had spent years looking for stability when she met and wed Dr. Franklyn Thorpe. The marriage had been rocky from the start and both were unfaithful, but they did not divorce before Mary Astor gave birth to little Marylyn Thorpe. What followed was a custody battle that pushed the Spanish Civil War and Hitler's 1936 Olympics off the front page all over America. Although Astor and Thorpe were both ruthless fighters, Thorpe held a trump card: the two diaries Mary Astor had been keeping for years. In these diaries, Astor detailed her own affairs as well as the myriad dalliances of some of Hollywood's biggest names. The studio heads, longtime controllers of public perception, were desperate to keep such juicy details from leaking. At risk from the information in those diaries was an entire fledgling industry. With the support of the Astor family, including unlimited access to the photographs and memorabilia of Mary Astor's estate, Joseph Egan presents a portrait of a great film actress in her most challenging role - a determined mother battling for her daughter, regardless of the harm that her affairs and her most intimate secrets could do to her career, the careers of her friends, or even Hollywood itself. ungekürzt.

    Call Out the Cadets: The Battle of New Market, May 15, 1864 (Emerging Civil War Series) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 270min
    “May God forgive me for the order”, Confederate Maj. Gen. John C. Breckinridge remarked as he ordered young cadets from Virginia military institute into the battle lines at New Market, just days after calling them from their academic studies to assist in a crucial defense.Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley had seen years of fighting. In the spring of 1864, Union Maj. Gen. Franz Sigel prepared to lead a new invasion force into the Valley, operating on the far right flank of Ulysses S. Grant’s Overland Campaign. Breckinridge scrambled to organize the confederate defense.When the opposing divisions clashed near the small crossroads town of New Market on May 15, 1864, new legends of courage were born. Local civilians witnessed the combat unfold in their streets, churchyards, and fields and aided the fallen. The young cadets rushed into the battle when ordered - an opportunity for an hour of glory and tragedy. A union soldier saved the national colors and a comrade, later receiving a medal of honor.The battle of New Market, though a smaller conflict in the grand scheme of that blood-soaked summer, came at a crucial moment in the union’s offensive movements that spring and also became the last major confederate victory in the Shenandoah Valley. The results in the muddy fields reverberated across the North and South, altering campaign plans - as well as the lives of those who witnessed or fought. Some never left the fields alive; others retreated with excuses or shame. Some survived, haunted, or glorified by their deeds.In Call Out the Cadets, Sarah Kay Bierle traces the history of this important, yet smaller battle. While covering the military aspects of the battle, the book also follows the history of individuals whose lives or military careers were changed because of the fight.New Market shined for its accounts of youth in battle, immigrant generals, and a desperate, muddy fight.

    Dorothy Dandridge: The Life and Legacy of One of Hollywood’s First Successful Black Actresses , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 87min
    “If I were white, I could capture the world.” (Dorothy Dandridge)The bright summer sun shined blissfully on a secluded valley tucked into the romantic Costa del Sol in southern Spain. Water bubbled friskily over a rocky streambed as trees swayed in the gentle tropical breeze and dappled the banks in playful shadows.A closer look reveals a man and a woman entwined on the rocky shore in an intimate embrace. The man trembles with longing as he bends over the woman, his parted lips just inches from hers. She eagerly folds her arms around him, her fingertips passionately digging into the skin on his back as she draws him closer.Suddenly, a director’s voice rings out, “Cut!” The man was white. The woman was black, and in Hollywood in 1959, that was still taboo. The steamy scene was being shot for the film Malaga, and Dorothy Dandridge, the actress in the scene, had just shared Hollywood’s controversial first interracial kiss on screen, a year earlier.Despite this distinction and other more notable accomplishments, many people today are not familiar with the groundbreaking actress, even though she was among the most charismatic and beautiful actresses of the era. Her alluring nightclub acts set pulses pounding across the globe, and she was Hollywood’s first black leading actress.Sadly, all of it came at a high price. Dorothy bore the scars of a tormented childhood, endured the fallout from multiple failed relationships, suffered professional and financial setbacks, and battled ongoing alcohol and prescription drug abuse. Throughout all that, racism was the most tenacious demon she had to fight. Dorothy came of age in an era when society and the entertainment world largely held to demeaning racial stereotypes. Though she appeared in 15 movies, her career was overshadowed by the work of contemporary white screen legends such as Grace Kelly, Judy Garland, and Marilyn Monroe.Dorothy, understandably, believed she could have be ungekürzt.

    Everything You Need to Know About The Great Gatsby , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 40min
    The 1920s in the United States were known as the "Roaring Twenties" and the Jazz Age, a time in the nation that glorified hard and fast living. Nobody personified the age or wrote so descriptively about it better than F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940), whose name became synonymous with the times after penning the epic Great Gatsby. Along with his dazzling wife, Zelda, Fitzgerald was all too keen to play the role. When his writing made them celebrities, they were celebrated by the national press for being "young, seemingly wealthy, beautiful, and energetic." While Scott used their relationship as material in his novels, Zelda wrote herself, and she also strove to become a ballerina. However, the Fitzgeralds barely outlasted the '20s. Their hard living left Fitzgerald, a notorious alcoholic, in poor health by the '30s. Financially broke, he would die of a massive heart attack in 1940, by which time Zelda had already suffered various mental illnesses. Zelda died in a freak fire in 1948, both Fitzgeralds having burned out almost as quickly as they had shined. Interest in the Fitzgeralds, and particularly his writing, revived in the '50s and has been steady ever since, with Fitzgerald’s Great Gatsby and other stories like This Side of Paradise being read in classrooms across the United States. In addition to their extraordinary literary quality, they continue to represent the optimism of the Roaring Twenties. In addition to covering Fitzgerald’s timeless classic in detail, Everything You Need to Know About The Great Gatsby includes a biography of the Fitzgeralds, discussion about Fitzgerald's inspiration for the novel's characters, and a full-fledged explanation of the plot, themes, and symbols of this "Great American Novel". With The Great Gatsby and its underlying themes as relevant as ever today, get caught up quickly with this resourceful guide. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Scott Clem.
