    Forged in the Fires: How Providence, Purpose, and Perseverance Shaped America , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1322min
    American history is more than dates or events to be memorized. It is voices from the past calling to our own time, asking us to listen.American history is the experience of a nation through the actions of its people. A nation is much like an individual with its failures, tragedies, and triumphs adding to its experience. Both make mistakes and can learn from them. Both individuals and nations are shaped by their past and often determine their future in how they perceive it.Americans share a unique history. It is the story of a people who believed in Christian providence (God’s intervening hand in the lives of people and events), the certainty of a greater purpose in a divine plan, and the gritty self-reliance and perseverance to overcome anything. Their stories are the real history of America, not the events themselves.They were “forged in the fires of adversity” and relied on Christian faith to rise above the flames. With the impurities burned away, their character became the sword they carried into history.They are calling from the past. It is up to us to listen. This is their story.... ungekürzt.

    Arrow of the Mist , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 397min
    Amazon Breakout Novel Award Semi-Finalist; Honorable Mention Writer's Digest Awards. Terror strikes the Celtic-inspired kingdom of Nemetona when barbed roots breach the veil of a forbidden land and poison woodsmen, including 15-year-old Lia's beloved father. Lia and three others embark on a quest to the forbidden land of Brume to gather ingredients for the cure. But after her elder kinsman is attacked and poisoned, she and her cousin, Wynn, are forced to finish the quest on their own. Lia relies on her powerful herbal wisdom and the memorized pages of her late grandmother's Grimoire for guidance through a land of soul-hungry shades, trickster creatures, and uncovered truths about the origin of Brume and her family's unexpected ties to it. The deeper they trek into the land, the stronger Lia's untapped gift as a tree mage unfolds. When she discovers the enchanted root's maker, it forces her to question everything about who she is and what is her destiny. Ultimately, she must make a terrible choice: keep fighting to save her father and the people of the lands, or join with the power behind the deadly roots to help nature start anew. ungekürzt.

    Good Love , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 660min
    Boone Sawyer and his wife, Sharon, have always been Sarita Saint’s best friends. When a dying Sharon asked her best friend to marry her husband, Sarita agreed, never intending to keep her promise. But even from the grave, Sharon is having her say. Sweet, reliable, patient Boone wants Sarita by his side; he’s always loved her - through every bad relationship into which she seems to dive. Now, he wants to take her away from the painful memories in Detroit to a beautiful horse ranch in Texas. But love and marriage? Sarita just isn’t interested. She sees it as the perfect escape from all the failed relationships that haunt her. Together, they can raise each other’s children in a positive environment on the ranch and take over his family’s business, both things that Boone inherited. Good Love is set in the ’90s - before the rise of the Internet and social media and when people memorized their friends’ phone numbers. Sarita and Boone embark on a new life, leaving the security of well-paying jobs to grow a thriving business to call their own. But will it lead to love?  ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Beyond the Bermuda Triangle: True Encounters with Electronic Fog, Missing Aircraft, and Time Warps , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 400min
    I didn't believe in time travel or teleportation until it happened to me. I'm Bruce Gernon, and I flew through the heart of the Bermuda Triangle before I'd even heard the term. Skeptics have dismissed the Triangle as a nonmystery, but they weren't in my airplane when the fog surrounded my craft and I leapt ahead 100 miles. I documented what happened and memorized every detail of that flight. Now I'm ready to explain that there is no Bermuda Triangle! Instead, there is a continuing mystery that has resulted in thousands of disappearances of crafts and losses of lives over decades and centuries: a phenomenon I call electronic fog. In Beyond the Bermuda Triangle, Rob MacGregor and I present multiple cases of pilots and others who have experienced electronic fog in the air, in the water, and on land. We also examine UFO and USO cases and their possible relationship with space/time warps. Among the fascinating topics we explore are time travel and teleportation; lost crafts, including Flight 19; the Dragon's Triangle; the Underwater Area 51; the man who is building a warp drive; and a remote viewer who takes on the Triangle. ungekürzt.

    Moonwalking with Einstein: The Art and Science of Remembering Everything , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 571min
    The unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of Moonwalking with Einstein: The Art and Science of Remembering Everything, Joshua Foer's part-memoir, part-guide on mastering your memory. Read by Mike Chamberlain. On average, people squander forty days annually trying to remember things they’ve forgotten. Joshua Foer used to be one of those people. But after a year of training, he found himself in the finals of the U.S. Memory Championship. He also discovered a truth we too often forget: In every way, we are the sum of our memories. In Moonwalking with Einstein Foer draws on cutting-edge research, the cultural history of memory and the techniques of 'mental atheletes' to transform our understanding of human remembering. He learns the ancient methods used by Cicero and Medieval scholars. He meets amnesiacs, neuroscientists and savants - including a man who claims to have memorized more than nine thousand books. In doing so, he reveals the hidden impact of memory on our lives, and shows how we can all dramatically improve our memories. At a time when electronic devices have all but rendered our individual memories obsolete, Foer's book is a quest to resurrect the gift we all possess, but that too often slips our minds. ungekürzt.

    Happenstance: Two Novels in One about a Marriage in Transition , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 970min
    Two novels in one, Happenstance tells the story of a marriage from the individual perspectives of a husband and wife at a turning point in their relationship. When we meet Brenda Bowman in "The Wife's Story", the 40-year-old mother of two is preparing to fly to Philadelphia to attend a craft convention that will feature one of her quilts. She already has the flight memorized: leaving Chicago at 8:35, arriving at Philadelphia at 1:33. This will be her first trip solo, her first time away from her husband, Jack, in their decades-long marriage. She's nervous, excited... and tempted when she meets an intriguing stranger. "The Husband's Story" introduces Jack Bowman, a historian who is left at home with his troubled son and overweight daughter while his wife, Brenda, attends a craft convention. Not used to coping on his own, he's suddenly confronted with domestic calamities, including the disintegration of his best friend's marriage. And when he learns that an old flame has published a book on the same topic that Jack has been laboring on for years, Jack's self-doubt reaches crisis proportions. Happenstance is an intimate portrait of a marriage in transition. "History," to Jack, is "not the story itself. It's the end of the story." ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Fine Line Between Love and Hate , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 455min
    A hilarious, opposites attract/enemies to lovers romance, The Fine Line Between Love and Hate will have you laughing and swooning at the same time.   She's not a quiet librarian.  My landlord is infuriating. He's uptight and rigid, right down to those dress shirts that do nothing to hide the muscle underneath. Sure, I never read the tenant's agreement. I have now. In fact, I've memorized it and I'm going to use it to my advantage while staying within the bounds of my contract. Is it my fault that those little decorative touches drive Charlie nuts? And who can resist purchasing a few vulgar gnomes to enhance the landscape?  He's uptight and rigid.  Note to self: Do not allow my mother to choose a tenant for my house ever again.  She's the opposite of the quiet librarian I'm expecting. My tenant is outspoken, vibrant, and seems to get off on pushing all my buttons.  It drives me nuts, but there's something there. Something that sparks a fire in me and when we're not butting heads those flames ignite.  Whatever is happening couldn't possibly work. We're too different. I'm too set in my ways. Evie pushes me out of my comfort zone and she doesn't seem willing to give up, even though we hate each other more often than not. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Odyssey: The Fitzgerald Translation , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 615min
    In classical Greece men called rhapsodes memorized and recited 'The Iliad' and 'The Odyssey.' My own rhapsode is the English actor Dan Stevens, whom fans of 'Downton Abbey' will know as Matthew Crawley. He’s been performing the Robert Fitzgerald translation, and no Hellene could do it better. (Wall Street Journal)Robert Fitzgerald's translation of The Odyssey has been the standard translation for more than three generations of students and poets. Macmillan Audio is delighted to publish the first ever audio edition of this classic work, the greatest of all epic poems. Fitzgerald's supple verse is ideally suited for audio, recounting the story of Odysseus' long journey back to his wife and home after the Trojan War. Homer's tale of love, adventure, food and drink, sensual pleasure, and mortal danger reaches the English-language listener in all its glory. In keeping with the oral tradition of the time, Dan Stevens, whose many celebrated performances include Downton Abbey's Matthew Crawley, makes this epic tale come alive. The listener becomes totally immersed in the adventure and drama of the story - this is the way The Odyssey was meant to be experienced. Also included on the program is a portion of the poem read in ancient Greek so that listeners may experience the lyricism and music of the original language.  ungekürzt.

    Shockproof Sydney Skate , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 349min
    A uniquely witty novel exploring sex, freedom, and the process of growing up Sydney Skate considers himself shockproof. For as long as he can remember, he's known that his fashionable Manhattan mother is secretly a lesbian, although he's never let on that he knows. He spends his summer days caring for snakes at the local pet shop before leaving for college at Cornell, shrugging off his father's demands that he skip college and join the exciting world of swimming pool sales for suburbanites. Far from throwing himself into work, Sydney can't seem to keep his thoughts from wandering to women. He has memorized the sex scenes of every book he's ever read in order to better seduce the opposite gender. When he's called to help remove a snake from a bathtub that belongs to the gorgeous and sophisticated Alison Gray, everything changes. But nothing could prepare him for his glamorous mother sweeping the girl of his dreams off her feet. This hypnotizing coming-of-age story captures the timeless ecstasies and struggles of adolescence, and has been a classic of lesbian literature since it was first published in 1973. Hailed as the Catcher in the Rye of the seventies, Shockproof Sydney Skate exposes the confusion of its time and remains keenly relevant to the sexual absurdities of today. ungekürzt.

    The Real Riley Mayes
    Funny and full of heart, this debut graphic novel is a story about friendship, identity, and embracing all the parts of yourself that make you special. Fifth grade is just not Riley's vibe. Everyone else is squaded up—except Riley. Her best friend moved away. All she wants to do is draw, and her grades show it. One thing that makes her happy is her favorite comedian, Joy Powers. Riley loves to watch her old shows and has memorized her best jokes. So when the class is assigned to write letters to people they admire, of course Riley's picking Joy Powers! Things start to look up when a classmate, Cate, offers to help Riley with the letter, and a new kid, Aaron, actually seems to get her weird sense of humor. But when mean girl Whitney spreads a rumor about her, things begin to click into place for Riley. Her curiosity about Aaron's two dads and her celebrity crush on Joy Powers suddenly make more sense. Readers will respond to Riley's journey of self-discovery and will recognize themselves in this character who is less than perfect but trying her best. And creative kids will recognize themselves in her love of art and drawing. While often funny and light, Riley's exploration of what it feels to be an outsider and how hard it can be to make a friend break your heart in the best way. And with all of Riley's hijinks and missteps, this story is laugh-out-loud funny from start to finish.
