Priests: The Guise and the Guys Behind the Collar , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 570min
Priests: The Guise and the Guys Behind the Collar captures the diverse personalities of over 20 Catholic priests in a novel born out of the experiences and perceptions of Monsignor Gaston A. Hebert over his 54 years in the priesthood. During that time he served as a teacher, pastor, vicar general, and diocesan administrator in the Diocese of Little Rock. By his realistic portrayal of priests sans halos or horns, he conveys insight into the joys and sorrows, challenges and temptations, successes and failures found in every priest's life. As the priests struggle through their own character flaws, they also combat the changes in the Church and in society from 1960 to the present. Situations evolve encompassing the seven major vices; racial, ethnic, and religious prejudice; addiction; abortion; sexual promiscuity, homosexuality, pedophilia, incest; the Vietnam War and clericalism, within the historical context of the period. To describe the novel as Christian fiction might be misleading as it is not saccharin and is rarely didactic, seeking rather to portray the clergy as real men, tempted and flawed like all humanity, but driven to serve God. It is unlikely the reader could complete the novel without recognizing both the good and bad character traits of priests and ministers he may have known, as well as his own. The author holds degrees in philosophy and English; taught English and Drama for 15 years at Catholic High School in Little Rock, Arkansas; was pastor of St. Paul the Apostle Church in Pocahontas, Arkansas, for six years; was pastor of the then-largest parish in Arkansas, Christ the King Church, in Little Rock, for 20 years; was vicar general from 1988 to 2006, and then became the administrator of the diocese for two years. He was named a protonotary apostolic by Pope Benedict XVI in 2008. He published The Faux Bishop's Gems in 2009, based on a series of his essays previously published in The Arkansas Catholic. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gaston A. Hebert.

This Side of Paradise , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 536min
In This Side of Paradise, F. Scott Fitzgerald gives us Amory Blaine, who, from boyhood through his early 20s, is on a quest for his identity, his philosophy, and his sense of place in a world never quite his own, a world in which he moves with barely concealed ego-fueled disgust and contempt. Fitzgerald's breakthrough novel, written in 1920 when the author was 23, manages to be both a thinly veiled autobiography and a sincere attempt by Fitzgerald to get into the head of the young, privileged personages of his time. This Side of Paradise follows the arc of Amory's life from a shakily moneyed Midwestern childhood through a tortuous tenancy at St. Regis prep school, on to the almost mystical grounds of Princeton, finally arriving in the real world of labor and responsibility. Along the way Amory must come to terms with that great irritant in his life: women. Neither as a boy nor as a young man does Amory come fully to grips with his bipolar reactions to the schoolgirls, starry-eyed debutants, and emotionally off-the-wall women who cross his path so many times throughout the story. Hopeful love turns hopeless, exciting relationships become dull, proximate hearts eventually wander away and fade. It seems that for every emotional or intellectual perigee in Amory's life, there is a soul-punishing apogee waiting in the next minute. Amory's sole companion through much of his journey is Monsignor Darcy, a former pagan from Asheville (as described by Fitzgerald) who, suffering from unfulfilled love for Amory's mother, Beatrice, turned to the Catholic Church with a vengeance. Through richly descriptive narrative, achingly plaintive poetry, and even a theatrically formatted interlude or two, Fitzgerald chronicles the stutter-step journey of a handsome, educated, yet stubbornly socially and emotionally naïve young man blessed with a creative brain but remarkably, frustratingly deficient in human understanding. Amory Blaine strives to comprehend his ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: C. James Moore. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/mike/001502/bk_mike_001502_sample.mp3.
