How to Live a Good Life: Following New Testament Ethics , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 253min
How do I live a truly good life? That, in many respects, is the question we all must ask ourselves and answer. As always, even in our post-Christian society, Christ is the answer, and we discover him in the New Testament.Drawing heavily from Pope Saint John Paul II’s encyclical Veritatis Splendor and other trusted sources, the author Václav Rajlich identifies four pillars of ethical reasoning: prohibited acts, prescriptions, priorities, and providence/grace (the 4Ps) to show how listeners can practically use these teachings to live a good life.Accessible, practical, and firmly rooted in the teaching and life of Christ, How to Live a Good Life Following New Testament Ethics is an essential guidebook both for contemporary Christians, as well as sincere seekers looking to answer that most fundamental of questions. ungekürzt.

A dead actress, a dead gambler, and that’s for starters.With murder following his every step, determined underachiever Steele Hill is tangled in layers of intrigue and deviousness.

One ally is a reclusive teenage math whiz, channeling Hendrix and tapping into prohibited military software and magic mushrooms.Leaping off the shoulders of Joseph Heller's Catch-22, Iraqi Icicle is a wild and hilarious ride through the murky worlds of gambling, drugs, politics, and rock ’n’ roll.“Readers will appreciate the author's ability to render colorful characters and understated witty prose.” (Publishers Weekly) ungekürzt.

Damage , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 637min
Jeff Hinkley, undercover investigator for the British Horseracing Authority, is looking into the shady activities of a racehorse trainer. But as he's tailing his quarry through the Cheltenham Racing Festival, the last thing he expects to witness is a gruesome murder. Could it have something to do with the reason the trainer was banned in the first place - the administration of illegal drugs to his horses? Days later, many more horses test positive for prohibited stimulants, a scandal that could throw horse-racing into disrepute. It's no surprise when the BHA receives a demand - pay up or face the consequences. In order to limit the damage to the sport, it's critical that Jeff finds the perpetrator... but he'll soon learn he's up against someone who will stop at nothing to prevail. ungekürzt.

As the end of the twentieth century nears, an asteroid is hurtling toward Earth. When it hits, the impact will result in the end of all life on the planet. Ambassador Spock travels back in time to subtly warn Earth's inhabitants of impending doom while calling into question humanity's priorities. However, before the truth is told, the all-powerful being, Q, appears and reminds Spock that he is prohibited from interfering in Earth's history. Besides, Q doesn't see mankind as something worth saving. This initial encounter between the two legendary characters explodes into a battle of wits as Spock cleverly befuddles Q with his own words.

Medical Science , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 180min
Though medical science began with the ancient Greek physician Hippocrates, dissection and the study of the human body was prohibited for religious reasons until the Renaissance. Only in 1628 did William Harvey theorize that blood circulates in the body; germs weren't discovered until the 19th century. Since then, surgery and drugs have greatly reduced deaths and pain from accident and disease. Genetic research and biotechnology hold the promise of even greater advances in the 21st century. The Science and Discovery series recreates one of history's most successful journeys: 4,000 years of scientific efforts to better understand and control the physical world. Science has often challenged and upset conventional wisdom or accepted practices; this is a story of vested interests and independent thinkers, experiments and theories, change and progress. Aristotle, Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo, Newton, Darwin, Einstein, and many others are featured. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Edwin Newman.

Islamic Finance , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 38min
Guided by the Sharia laws, Islamic banking is grounded on the belief that all types of interest are forbidden. Investing in businesses that deal in arenas against Islamic values - such as pork, alcohol, pornography, or ones that lead to gossip such as media - is completely prohibited. Speculative transactions are also banned by Sharia law. Because of these differences, regular banking financial instruments cannot be used in Islamic finance.However, banking and finance under Islam have the same motives as conventional banking - to generate money for the banking organization by lending capital. Islamic finance focuses on keeping conventional banking within the boundaries outlined by Islamic law. As opposed to the basic principle of conventional banks of "transfer of risk", the Islamic banks follow the principle of risk-sharing.The laws of Sharia vary from country to country. While in some countries they are liberal, in other places they follow more exact interpretations. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Andrea Giordani.

The Private Diary of an O.J. Juror: Behind the Scenes of the Trial of the Century, Hörbuch, Digital, 91min
This work was originally published prior to the conclusion of the O.J. Simpson murder trial. At that time, California state law made it a crime for jurors and ex-jurors to be paid for writing about their service until 90 days after a trial had ended. That law was found to violate Michael Knox's First Amendment rights, clearing the way for his story to be made public before the trial had ended. Here, Knox reveals that while racial divisions existed on the panel, they were grossly exaggerated. He describes the oppressive, bizarre, and demeaning life of sequestration, where alcohol is prohibited and privacy is nonexistent...even during conjugal visits, jurors worried about having their conversation taped. Knox also explains why he was leaning towards a guilty verdict just prior to his dismissal as a juror. Language: English. Narrator: Michael Knox.
