    Confessions of a Rogue Missionary , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 377min
    As a National Merit Scholar majoring in physics and mathematics at Rice University, Henry Rambow thought he was a rational person. But primed by years of Sunday School and haunted by a promise made as a terrified child, he nevertheless fell head over heels into a fundamentalist brand of Christianity. Confessions of a Rogue Missionary is an account of his struggle - and eventual failure - to reconcile his faith with reason.    At times dryly humorous and at times sober and contemplative, the story begins when Henry is "born again." Brimming with newfound zeal - but already plagued by doubt - he travels to Beijing as a missionary in the guise of an English teacher, where he tries desperately to embrace the culture and win disciples for Jesus. Culture clashes and miscommunications result in cringe-inducing encounters in unlikely settings, ranging from a brothel to a military base.    Eventually, the very questions that troubled him from the start prove to be too much, and his faith collapses entirely, leaving him feeling disillusioned - but free. ungekürzt.

    Susan Meissner's Secrets of a Charmed Life Summary , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 36min
    Secrets of a Charmed Life is a novel about two young sisters in London and how they survived during World War II. It's the year 2015 and Kendra Van Zant, a student majoring in history, is interviewing 93-year-old Isabel McFarland in the English countryside at Stow-on-the-Wold. Kendra quickly discovers Isabel is not the woman's real name, nor is 93 her real age. Isabel, a well-known artist, tells Kendra the story of two young girls living in London right before the start of what later became known as the Blitz, the strategic bombing campaign by the Germans against London in the spring of 1940. The story revolves around seven-year-old Julia and 15-year-old Emmy. As a work of historical fiction, this book seeks to not only tell a compelling story about characters and their circumstances, but also to create an intimate connection to an historic event. Through her description, sometimes in stark detail, about the suffering, loss, and confusion of London during the Blitz, Meissner creates a greater understanding of the impact of war and its impact on people, family, and culture. ungekürzt.

    Illuminated Geometry: Sidelights on Relativity , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 50min
    As C.P. Snow lamented in his now famous essay, "Two Cultures", education is too often arbitrarily divided between the sciences and the humanities, as if each were acrimoniously divorced parents who wished never to speak again to each other. What do physics and psychology have in common, some may ask. Or, what does chemistry have to do with sociology? Having taught for nearly four decades at various colleges and universities, I have long noticed that many students have a resistance to learning about science primarily believing (wrongly I may add) that it will not help them in their education since they are majoring in English or Communications. This why I have championed Edward O. Wilson's "consilience" (a reconciliation, so to say) between the hard and soft sciences, since both illuminate the other in very unexpected ways. For this reason the MSAC Philosophy Group has published a number of small and quite accessible books from famous scientists, including Charles Darwin, Alfred Russel Wallace, and Gregor Mendel. We are pleased to add Albert Einstein to our growing list. This particular book provides a glimpse into the geometric understanding behind Einstein theory of relativity. Although penned nearly a century ago, it still makes for fascinating and valuable listening. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Clay Willison.

    Mark Greene, that semismart layabout, is back. Venturing to Bunk Bunk Community College to enroll in courses that he hopes might lead to some sort of employment, Mark inexplicably finds himself tossed into the lowest depths of the teaching profession. He's hired as an adjunct to teach English at midnight. Try as he might to impart literature and spark creativity to those in his charge, Mark Greene cannot help but get his own schooling - good and hard. For Mark Greene stumbles upon a plot in the bowels of the school's Wellness Center to transform the very nature of man. Now he must use all his resources to save humanity from man's oldest and most dangerous desire: to be a god. In this Manichean contest, Mark Greene must defeat the Machiavellian president of Bunk Bunk Community College, President FiFi; a deeply cynical and bitter scientist, the dean of nocturnal studies; an alcoholic, chip-on-his-shoulder politician, Rep. Pat A. Nidge; and, finally, the founder of Planet Pennies, Starbucks' great rival. Mark, however, has one ace up his sleeve: the love of his life. Her name is Diane, a clerk at the school, enrolled at university, majoring in psychology. Okay, more love than ally, but together they aim to save themselves and all of mankind from man's most ancient and inveterate sin. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Lee Strayer.

    Saint Benedict , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 27min
    Early life of Saint Benedict...The fifth century brings us not one, but two future saints. It is AD 480, and a little voice cries out, "Here I am, world!" But no sooner heard, than another tiny cry fills the air. Not one, but two babies will be born to the parents of the future Saint Benedict and his twin sister Saint Scholastica.Now, Norcia is not easy to get to, as we well know. We often wonder why God chooses the remotest places in the world for apparitions by Mother Mary, by the Archangel Michael, for miracles of the Eucharist, and the birth of great saints.Could it be because we are too busy to hear or see God working in our midst? I don't know. What do you think?Born of the nobility, Saint Benedict would have every advantage enabling him to receive the best education and preparation for life. It is believed that when he was no more than in his teens, his parents sent Saint Benedict and his nurse to Rome to pursue a higher education, more than likely majoring in law.As they had been blessed to be born of the nobility, it was the custom of people of their station to send their sons to acquire an education preparing them for a career as public magistrates or judges, in this way fulfilling their God-given obligations to serve. ungekürzt.
