    With Musket and Tomahawk Vol I: The Saratoga Campaign and the Wilderness War of 1777 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 738min
    A comprehensive look at the brutal wilderness war that secured America's independence... With Musket and Tomahawk is a vivid account of the American and British struggles in the sprawling wilderness region of the northeast during the Revolutionary War. Combining strategic, tactical, and personal detail, this book describes how the patriots of the recently organized Northern Army defeated England's massive onslaught of 1777, thereby all but ensuring America's independence. Conceived and launched by top-ranking British military leaders to shatter and suppress the revolting colonies, Britain's three-pronged thrust was meant to separate New England from the rest of the nascent nation along the line of the Hudson River. Thus divided, both the northern and southern colonies could have been defeated in detail, unable to provide mutual assistance against further attacks. Yet, despite intense planning and vast efforts, Britain's campaign resulted in disaster when General John Burgoyne, with 6,000 soldiers, emerged from a woodline and surrendered his army to the Patriots at Saratoga in October 1777. Underneath the umbrella of Saratoga, countless battles and skirmishes were waged from the borders of Canada southward to Ticonderoga, Bennington, and West Point. Heroes on both sides were created by the score, though only one side proved victorious, amid a tapestry of madness, cruelty, and hardship in what can rightfully be called "the terrible Wilderness War of 1777". ungekürzt.

    Worshipping the State: How Liberalism Became Our State Religion , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 688min
    Many Christians feel that they are being opposed at every turn by what seems to be a well-orchestrated political and cultural campaign to de-Christianize every aspect of Western culture. They are right, and it goes even further back than the Obama Administration. In Worshipping the State: How Liberalism Became Our State Religion, Benjamin Wiker argues that it is liberals who seek to establish an official state religion: one of unbelief. Wiker reveals that it was never the intention of the Founders to drive religion out of the public square with the First Amendment, but secular liberals have deliberately misinterpreted the establishment clause to serve their own ends: the de-Christianization of Western civilization. The result, they hope, is government as the new oracle. Personal faith in a deity is replaced with collective dependence on government, and the diversity of religious practices and dogmas is reduced to a uniform ideological agenda. The liberal strategy is two-pronged: drive religion out of the public square, and then, in religion's place, erect the Church of the State to fill the human need for a higher power to look up to. But what was done can be undone. Outlining a simple, step-by-step strategy for disestablishing the state church of liberalism, Worshiping the State shows the full historical sweep of the war to those on the Christian side of the cultural battle - and as a consequence of this far more complete vantage, how to win it. ungekürzt.

    Want Not , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1029min
    A compulsively listenable, deeply human novel that examines our most basic and unquenchable emotion: want. With his critically acclaimed first novel, Jonathan Miles was widely praised as a comic genius "after something bigger" (David Ulin, Los Angeles Times) whose fiction was "not just philosophically but emotionally rewarding" (Richard Russo, New York Times Book Review, front cover). Now, in his much-anticipated second novel, Want Not, Miles takes a giant leap forward with this highly inventive and corrosively funny story of our times, a three-pronged tale of human excess that sifts through the detritus of several disparate lives - lost loves, blown chances, countless words, and deeds misdirected or misunderstood - all conjoined in their come-hell-or-high-water search for fulfillment. As the novel opens on Thanksgiving Day, listeners are telescoped into three different worlds in various states of disrepair - a young freegan couple living off the grid in New York City; a once-prominent linguist, sacked at midlife by the dissolution of his marriage and his father’s losing battle with Alzheimer’s; and a self-made debt-collecting magnate, whose brute talent for squeezing money out of unlikely places has yielded him a royal existence, trophy wife included. Want and desire propel these characters forward toward something, anything, more, until their worlds collide, briefly, randomly, yet irrevocably, in a shattering ending that will haunt listeners long after the last lines. With a satirist’s eye and a romantic’s heart, Miles captures the morass and comedy of contemporary life in all its excess. Bold, unblinking, unforgettable in its irony and pathos, Want Not is a wicked, big-hearted literary novel that confirms the arrival of a major voice in American fiction. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Greatest Civil War Battles: The Battle of Nashville , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 83min
    Never had there been such an overwhelming victory during the Civil War - indeed, never in American military history. - Wiley Ford's comment on the Franklin-Nashville Campaign As Sherman began his infamous march to the sea, Lincoln instructed Grant to redirect General George H. Thomas' efforts back to Tennessee to protect Union supply lines and stop the offensive mounted by Confederate general John Bell Hood. With Sherman marching east toward the sea, he directed Thomas to try to block Hood around Nashville. On November 30, the Union army began digging in around Franklin, and that afternoon Hood ordered a frontal assault on the dug in Union army. After repeated frontal assaults failed to create a gap in the Union lines, Schofield withdrew his men across the river on the night of November 30, successfully escaping Hood's army. Meanwhile, Hood had inflicted nearly 8,000 casualties upon his army while the Union lost about a quarter of that. Despite practically wrecking his army, Hood marched his battered army to a position outside Nashville, Tennessee, where he took up defensive positions while awaiting reinforcements from Texas. Even as Grant sniped at him, Thomas held back for nearly two weeks, partly because of a bad ice storm, and his delay nearly resulted in having Grant remove him from command. When reinforcements didn't arrive by December 15, Thomas finally devised a complex two-pronged attack that feinted at Hood's right flank while bringing overwhelming force on the left flank. During the two day battle, Thomas effectively destroyed Hood's command, inflicting over 6,000 more Confederate casualties while losing less than half that. Upon reaching his headquarters at Tupelo, Mississippi, General Hood requested to be relieved of command rather than be removed in disgrace. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Pattie Shaughnessy.

    Heal Your Mind: Your Prescription for Wholeness Through Medicine, Affirmations, and Intuition , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 748min
    Many of us grapple with how to stay happy, calm, and depression free in a world that seems to get more complex by the minute. How do we keep our wits about us and our memory intact and remain spiritually tuned in when our brains and bodies are bombarded with information from so many sources - friends, family, work, media, the Internet - to say nothing of the chemicals and other influences we take in from our environment? This follow-up to the beloved resource All Is Well offers answers. Heal Your Mind continues the three-pronged healing approach that Dr. Mona Lisa Schulz and Louise Hay pioneered together, extending it to conditions, processes, and disorders of the mind including memory, learning disability, addiction, anxiety, and depression. In-depth case studies from the All Is Well Clinic delve into interventions with real patients, where Dr. Mona Lisa uses intuition to pinpoint issues, and she and Louise discuss the medical solutions and affirmations that can help restore well-being. Many other books on healing the mind take a "pill for every ill" approach; still other books offer a nutritional supplement for every symptom. We may end up thinking our minds and bodies need an endless array of expensive, ever-changing interventions. In truth medicines can take us only so far in healing the mind; nutritional supplements may take us a step further. Dr. Mona Lisa and Louise's prescription - supported by current scientific research - takes a new tack: It addresses mental and emotional problems by changing the way we think and helps listeners find their own pathways to healthier and more fully present minds. ungekürzt.

    Cowboys, Bikers and Fishermen , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 412min
    Red, Stan, and Sunny O’Brian, three baby boomer brothers in their 60s, are faced with a four-pronged invasion of the country and each must do what they can to defend the US, in his own way.   Along with their sons, grandchildren and extended family, they do whatever it takes to stop this invasion by forces that would destroy it from within by using systems and infrastructure that were designed to make our lives easier.   The three brothers and the cocky female pilot, Charlie, represent the five branches of the military and they each do what they have to, with the extended families of cowboys, bikers and fishermen to save the country.   Red, the cowboy, rallies his riders to prevent the destruction of downtown Dallas, while his biker brother Stan, on his way to Sturgis, foils a plan to launch an air strike on the nation from the heart of the country, Nebraska. And Sunny, the retired Naval commander, spends his life as a fishermen, but is also responsible for organizing the new Naval Militia.   With, boats, planes, and trucks, the plan is set for the “four horsemen” to cripple the nation and take over from within. But they forgot to take one very important element into consideration in their very flawed plan … the will and might of the American people to defend what is theirs against enemies, foreign, and domestic.   “As Red and the other cowboys rode away, dust billowing behind them like it did behind Stan and his fellow bikers, there was a similarity of purpose and pride in a country that gave them freedom to ride the open highways or the open plains, or even for Sunny, the open waters. It was about freedom for all of them, and they knew it was this freedom they must now defend and preserve.” ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Skip Lipman.
