Devil and Satanism: History, Events, People, Serial Killers, and Music Concerning Satan , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 181min
Satanism is undoubtedly a complex phenomenon and has been the subject of different definitions that highlight its different aspects and orientations. From a historical-sociological point of view, Satanism can be defined as the adoration or veneration, by organized groups, through repeated cultural or liturgical practices, of the character called Satan or devil in the Bible, whether this is understood as a person or a mere symbol. Instead, from a theological point of view (and one that embraces wider realities), one could speak of Satanism even by failing to explicitly worship the devil or even denying its existence, maintaining hatred of God and putting into practice those magical and occult practices, most often immoral and violent, which would allow a man to become like God.Satanist is a broad and varied category: Some are theistic and believe in the existence of a literal Satan, while others use Lucifer as the original symbol of resistance and bringer of enlightenment to humankind. Much like any religion or worldview, there’s a huge variety in what Satanists believe.This book aims to be a great start to understand the many aspects of Satanism and the devil. ungekürzt.

A Girl and a River , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 754min
It is the 1930s and the fire of the freedom movement from distant Bengal and Delhi is warming the languid bones of the small town in Mysore, where Kaveri and Setu grow up. Theirs is a liberal, prosperous household and the family takes its privileges for granted. Mylaraiah, their father, believes that they are twice protected from such delusions as ‘swaraj’ - once by the British and then by the Maharaja. While Setu absorbs their father’s unquestioning veneration of the British, Kaveri, profoundly affected by Mahatma Gandhi’s visit to their town, comes to recognize their attempts to be ‘more English than the English’ as rather shameful. In an attempt to follow her heart and take charge of her own future, Kaveri defies her father and participates in the Quit India march organized by Shyam, the hot-headed revolutionary she is attracted to. Angered and jealous, and loyal to his father, Setu is forced into betraying his sister. The small town is shaken into life quite brutally when it faces a police firing for the first time in its history. But Kaveri is safe and home, or so Setu thinks. ungekürzt. Language: English.

The New Valley: Novellas , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 603min
The three linked novellas that comprise Josh Weil's masterful debut bring us into America's remote and often unforgiving backcountry, and delicately open up the private worlds of three very different men as they confront love, loss, and their own personal demons. Set in the hardscrabble hill country between the Virginias, The New Valley is populated by characters striving to forge new lives in the absence of those they have loved. Told in three varied and distinct voices - from a soft-spoken middle-aged beef farmer struggling to hold himself together after his dad's death; to a health-obsessed single father desperate to control his reckless, overweight daughter; to a mildly retarded man who falls in love with a married woman intent on using him in a scheme that will wound them both - each novella is a vivid, stand-alone examination of Weil's uniquely romanticized relationships. As the men battle against grief and solitude, their heartache leads them all to commit acts that will bring both ruin and salvation. Written with a deeply American tone, focused attention to story, and veneration for character, The New Valley is a tender exploration of survival, isolation, and the deep, consuming ache for human connection. ungekürzt.

Saint Padre Pio: In the Footsteps of Saint Francis , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 201min
In an age that smirks at the mention of miracles, sin, angels, and demons, St. Pio of Pietrelchina has emerged as a figure of immense popularity, attracting fascination, veneration, and emulation. Padre Pio, who once wrote in a letter, "I am a mystery to myself," is certainly a mystery to all who know of him. To those who moved beyond mere credulity, he became an inspiration to embrace the fullness of faith. Perhaps that is why his shrine in outlying San Giovanni Rotondo, Italy, is second only to the Vatican itself in annual number of pilgrims and why Italian Catholics now report praying more for St. Pio's intercession than for that of any other saint. This book is a concise introduction to Padre Pio's life, especially as compared to the example and journey of his spiritual father, St. Francis of Assisi. If St. Francis is said to be the most popular saint of all time, Franciscan Capuchin Padre Pio is perhaps the most popular saint of our times. Given that he passed only in 1968, it is remarkable to think that such a spiritual superhero could exist in our modern age. Though not spared from misfortune, he was spared those things that cloud us from perceiving the world in a truly spiritual way. Perhaps that is why Padre Pio offers us just the message we need to hear. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: David Glass.

Pink Pussy Love
Warum schauen wir uns so gerne Blumen an und schnuppern sogar an ihnen, obwohl wir doch schon so viele Blumen gesehen und an so vielen geschnuppert haben? Die hier gezeigten Pussy-Bilder sind viel mehr als eine Führung durch einen Garten exotischer Blumen. Sie zeigen das, was unsere Vorfahren in den Jahrzehntausenden vor der historischen Zeit kultisch verehrten: die Vulva. Diese Bilder berühren uns in ästhetischer und sexueller, aber auch in archaischer Weise. Künstler und Fotograf Gordon Denman zeigt uns die Vulvas aufregender, rassiger Frauen, darunter auch farbige Modelle mit samtbrauner Haut und Schönheiten asiatischer Herkunft. Eine Hommage an die Vulva, ihrer Farben und wundervollen Formen! Why do we love to look at flowers and to sniff them, even though we've already seen and sniffed so many flowers? The pussy pictures shown here are much more than a guided tour through a garden of exotic blossoms. They depict the object to which our ancestors devoted cultic veneration throughout the millennia of prehistory: the vulva. These images touch us in a way that's not only aesthetic and sexual, but also archaic. The artist and photographer Gordon Denman shows us the vulvas of exciting and hot-blooded women, including some dark-skinned models with velvety brown skin, as well as beauties of Asian origin. An homage to the vulva, its colors and its wonderful shapes!- Shop: buecher

The Dead Sea Scrolls: A Biography: Lives of the Great Religious Books , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 341min
Since they were first discovered in the caves at Qumran, in 1947, the Dead Sea Scrolls have aroused more fascination - and more controversy - than perhaps any other archaeological find. They appear to have been hidden in the Judean desert by the Essenes, a Jewish sect that existed around the time of Jesus, and they continue to inspire veneration and conspiracy theories to this day. John Collins tells the story of the bitter conflicts that have swirled around the scrolls since their startling discovery, and sheds light on their true significance for Jewish and Christian history. Collins vividly recounts how a Bedouin shepherd went searching for a lost goat and found the scrolls instead. He offers insight into debates over whether the Essenes were an authentic Jewish sect and explains why such questions are critical to our understanding of ancient Judaism and to Jewish identity. Collins explores whether the scrolls were indeed the property of an isolated, quasi-monastic community living at Qumran, or whether they more broadly reflect the Judaism of their time. And he unravels the impassioned disputes surrounding the scrolls and Christianity. Do they anticipate the early church? Do they undermine the credibility of the Christian faith? Collins also looks at attempts to "reclaim" the scrolls for Judaism after the full corpus became available in the 1990s, and at how the decades-long delay in publishing the scrolls gave rise to sensational claims and conspiracy theories. ungekürzt.
