    Love Not the World: A Prophetic Call to Holy Living , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 203min
    Having every one of us been in bondage to sin, we readily believe that sinful things are Satanic; but do we believe equally that the things of the world are Satanic? Many of us, I think, are still in two minds about this. Yet how clearly Scripture affirms that "the whole world lieth in the evil one" (1 John 5:19). Satan well knows that, generally speaking, to try to ensnare real Christians through things that are positively sinful is vain and futile. They will usually sense the danger and elude him. So he had contrived instead an enticing network, the mesh of which is so skillfully woven as to entrap the most innocent of men. We flee sinful lusts, and with good reason, but when it comes to such seemingly innocuous things as science and art and education, how readily do we lose our sense of values and fall a prey to his enticements! ungekürzt.

    Vlad Dracula: The Dragon Prince , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 716min
    Most of the vast audience attracted to the subject of Dracula know him only in his fictional, one-dimensional form: vampire. Yet the truth behind the historical character - voevode, warlord - of 15th C. Romania is at least as equally fascinating as any contrived account of his supernatural persona. Vlad Dracula faithfully follows his life story as hostage, fugitive, prince, and prisoner, as well as his legend. His principality of Wallachia was caught between two voracious predators: the kingdom of Hungary and the Ottoman Empire. They tried to break Dracula with overwhelming force and terror. But Dracula turned their own tactics against them, and against criminals and factions in his own land, earning the name Tepes - The Impaler - in the process. He was a strange mix of husband, father, soldier, statesman, and berserker. He annihilated 50,000 people - one-tenth of his own population. Cursed by his native Orthodox Christian church, he indeed evolved into a legend. But even today he is Romania's Robin Hood. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Matt Guardabascio.

    Man, Myth, Messiah: Answering History's Greatest Question , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 460min
    Did Jesus Really Exist? The search for the historical Jesus continues to be headline news. Any speculative theory seems to get instant attention as the debate rages about his real identity and the claims made in his name. Did Jesus really exist? Is there real historical evidence that demonstrates that he lived and actually said and did the things the Gospels record? Is there any validity to the speculative claims that the Jesus story was a myth borrowed from a variety of pagan cultures of the ancient world? In this follow-up to the book God's Not Dead (which inspired the movie), Man, Myth, Messiah looks at the evidence for the historical Jesus and exposes the notions of skeptics that Jesus was a contrived figure of ancient mythology. It also looks at the reliability of the Gospel records as well as the evidence for the resurrection that validates his identity as the promised Messiah. Man, Myth, Messiah will be released concurrent to the God's Not Dead movie sequel, which will cover the same theme. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tommy Cresswell.

    Aliens in the Mist: A Literary Journalism Piece , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 27min
    It was early in the morning on February 20, 1954, and President Eisenhower was anxious. The secret service had shepherded him away from his contrived vacation in Palm Springs, California, for a highly classified meeting at Edwards Air Force Base, and he was now being led down a dark corridor. Already his mind was working on a cover story to feed the press. He decided on a dental emergency. He'd even bring the dentist along to the official fundraising function tomorrow night. He'd say that he lost a tooth cap while eating fried chicken. It was perfect. "They are awaiting your audience, Mr. President," one of his escorts announced. President Eisenhower stepped eagerly into the room, reaching forward to shake hands with his new Alien Ambassador to the United States. He suppressed the urge to laugh maniacally as terms were discussed for the Treaty. Aliens in the Mist: A Literary Journalism Piece explores the experiences of Betty and Barney Hill while offering research on the events regarding the Treaty. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Miracle of Dunkirk: The History of the World War II Battle and Evacuation That Helped Save Britain from Nazi Germany , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 98min
    Blitzkrieg, or "lightning war", describes the Third Reich's invasion strategy during its 1940 conquest of France not only due to the speed of the Wehrmacht advance but also its devastating effect on its ill-prepared adversaries. Mired in the paralyzing muck of plodding staff college military doctrine and demoralized as a nation by their appalling losses during World War I, the French succumbed in a few weeks to German skill and vigor. Moreover, after being lured into Belgium by a large-scale German feint, the British Expeditionary Force and over a million French soldiers found themselves cut off by the main Wehrmacht thrust. Heinz Guderian and Irwin Rommel, among others, led their panzers on an 11-day dash from the Ardennes Forest to the coast, trapping vast numbers of Allied soldiers in Belgium and northeastern France. The surrender of more than 1,200,000 isolated troops followed, yet in the midst of this disaster, the Allies contrived one coup that took even the victorious Wehrmacht aback: the evacuation of over 300,000 soldiers from the port of Dunkirk. ungekürzt.

    A Concise History of Sunnis and Shi`is
    The 1400-year-old schism between Sunnis and Shi'is has rarely been as toxic as it is today, feeding wars and communal strife in Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Pakistan, Afghanistan and many other countries, with tensions between Saudi Arabia and Iran escalating. In this richly layered and engrossing account, John McHugo reveals how this great divide occurred. Charting the story of Islam from the lifetime of the Prophet Muhammad to the present day, he describes the conflicts that raged over the succession to the Prophet, how Sunnism and Shi'ism evolved as different sects during the Abbasid caliphate, and how the rivalry between the empires of the Sunni Ottomans and Shi'i Safavids contrived to ensure that the split would continue into modern times. Now its full, destructive force has been brought out by the struggle between Saudi Arabia and Iran for the soul of the Muslim world. Definitive and insightful, A Concise History of Sunnis and Shi'is shows that there was nothing inevitable about the sectarian conflicts that now disfigure Islam. It is an essential guide to understanding the genesis, development and manipulation of the great schism that has come to define Islam and the Muslim world.

    Bleeding Innocence: Seductive Trappings , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 536min, (USK 18)
    Drea, a gorgeous, naive, overachieving college student, develops a crush on a professor in her senior year. He is alluring. His physique, his brilliance, and his sexiness spiral her out of control. Over time, her innate sensual desires mount and find her obsessively seeking his attention. While gradually executing a series of carefully planned seductive steps, the professor exerts his carnal desires, and together they soon forge a taboo relationship of unpredictable heights. Systematically, the professor’s unorthodox relationship rules are revealed, and Drea dutifully complies. Their numerous erotic encounters are uniquely contrived and submissive in nature, the realms of which expand too often outside the norm. Drea becomes totally immersed in the professor’s world as if under his spell, and when the relationship gets out of hand, in a desperate effort to maintain their bond, she attempts to create a needed balance in the forbidden student/professor relationship. But can there be balance between sexual deviance and sexual norms with such scandalous undercurrents? Enter Drea’s seedy world, and discover for yourself if this is a romance novel, erotica, or both or a series of escalating submissive hedonistic acts. ungekürzt.

Once the party of anti-communism and tax-cutting under President Kennedy, it is now dominated by a surging socialist movement and led by a presidential candidate who vows to “transform” America.On a near-daily basis, the Democrats are issuing radical proposals to socialize medicine, industry, and higher education. So how can the Democrats win elections when their agenda is so far to the left of the American people?That’s easy - it’s because the means of public debate are being manipulated.In Countdown to Socialism, Congressman Devin Nunes exposes the nexus between the Democratic Party, the mainstream media, and the social media corporations.
