No Turning Back , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 315min

Minutes before, the prosecutor had made his opening statement projecting only hatred and contempt toward my father, a missionary charged with rebellion. The police had arrested him the night before by covertly setting a trap. The press had already shamed and ridiculed him nationally and internationally, proclaiming his guilt on headline news before the hearing had even begun. The cold demeanor of the judge terrified us, and the odds seemed to be undeniably stacked against my dad. I looked at the judge's stern, intimidating eyes and wondered what my father would decide. She had laid the choice before him. He could face the trial (and be charged with 15 years or more in prison if she declared him guilty), or leave Colombia forever. "Choose the states," I prayed, "who knows what will happen to you here?" This book recounts some of the most important stories of my life, including how I found true love and how my father, Russell M. Stendal, was arrested and falsely accused of terrorism. ungekürzt.

Andromeda Nebula , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 656min

Ivan Yefremov (1908-1972) was a Soviet writer and paleontologist. In addition to introducing a new paleontological field taphonomy - the study of fossilization patterns - Yefremov has written a series of novels and short stories, including science fiction, historic fiction, adventure, and drama. Yefremov is frequently ridiculed for his enthusiasm and faith in the viability of a communist society, as described in his best known science-fiction novel Andromeda Nebula. What is frequently overlooked is Yefremov's tremendous knowledge of history and profound understanding of psychology. His future society, while highly evolved, is not impervious to mistakes. His future humanity, having learned and discovered much, is not pausing to rest on its laurels - it continues to learn and explore. It is not widely known that his more mature works such as Hour of the Bull and Razor's Edge had the writer blacklisted by the Soviet government, as Yefremov's interpretation of a fair and balanced society deviated sharply from the government propaganda of the time. To Yefremov's fans, he is known for his thorough scientific analysis, study of art and history, emphasis on physical and intellectual balance, and strong female characters. ungekürzt.

The Cloak , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 77min

Nikolai Gogol (1809-1852) was a preeminent Ukrainian-born story writer. He is particularly famous for those stories which veer in the direction of surrealism and the grotesque. The Cloak is one such tale. Akaky Akakiyevich is a reclusive and widely ridiculed lower official whose job is to copy letters. He lives a hand-to-mouth existence with his elderly landlady and has little money. But the harsh weather in St. Petersburg necessitates the purchase of a new cloak. His existing cloak, threadbare and filthy, is the butt of jokes among his comrades, and the tailor refuses to patch it up any further. Akaky Akakiyevich has somehow to scrape together the money for a new one. As he begins to save for it, the cloak begins to take on a much greater significance in his life. He dreams of it, visualises it, plans it with the tailor and scrimps and saves until the glorious day when he is able to actually commission its manufacture. The cloak is his pride and joy...but disaster waits around the corner. And in true Gogol style, the story takes a weird twist. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Cathy Dobson.

Evidence Considered: A Response to Evidence for God , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 752min

In Evidence Considered: A Response to Evidence for God, Glenton Jelbert seeks to explore and test the arguments advanced by apologists and ultimately show why none of them persuade him. As a former Christian, Jelbert handles the topic with sensitivity. He examines the evidence for God, by responding to a series of 50 essays by Christian apologists. These essays were written by 37 different authors and collected together by William Dembski and Michael Licona in Evidence for God: 50 Arguments for Faith from the Bible, History, Philosophy and Science. Jelbert considers each of these arguments and discusses why they are not convincing to him and how, in many cases, a closer examination of them reveals evidence the other way. If you are a rational believer who feels that your arguments are dismissed, ignored, or ridiculed, Jelbert’s collection of essays will engage with you respectfully, truthfully, and incisively. The book will also be of interest to Christians who are looking to understand the atheist/agnostic position and refine their arguments and their reasons for belief without being attacked or belittled. Jelbert takes the arguments seriously and engages with them robustly. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Will M. Watt.

The Beast: A Werewolf Horror , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 62min

If there’s no such thing as werewolves, then why are all my friends dead? A werewolf is preying upon the denizens of a small town. The only people who know what it is, who understand what is happening, are children. A group of third-graders isn't exactly the most credible source of information, especially when it comes to the fantastical. They grow up being ridiculed, shunned, bullied, and mistreated by their peers and the broader community. Years later, it returns, but this time, Thomas and his friends are prepared for it. As the body count rises and the tension mounts throughout the town, only The Freaks (as they call themselves), have come to terms with what it is. After all, they have seen it before. They have seen the blood it spilled firsthand. Nobody is above suspicion. Not even family members. Thomas and his friends cannot trust anyone and must suspect everyone. As children, they learned the truth. As grown werewolf hunters, they must use every bit of courage they have to face the monster. Nothing short of killing it will suffice. ungekürzt.
