    Getting Up from Being Down: Stand Up, Reach High, Finish Strong , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 359min
    Ever been down in life? Really down? S. Todd Townsend knows down. Raised in inner-city Philadelphia in a home with a loving mother and an abusive stepfather, S. Todd experienced the hard life, the cons, and the law of the streets as a lawbreaking rabble-rouser, a car thief, and a home robber - nothing more than a common thug. But when he heard the Gospel, heard that Christ's death and resurrection was for him, he surrendered control of his life to God, who transformed him. Nothing has been the same since. Now a pastor and educator as well as a rap and hip-hop musician, S. Todd uses his life experiences to illustrate the necessity of getting back up and staying up, of holding on to the thread of hope even in the dark chapters of life. With dynamic personal stories, original raps, and questions for discussion and review, S. Todd brings hope, inspiration, and encouragement to get back up in life - no matter the circumstances. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: S. Todd Townsend.

    Napoleon Bonaparte: The Leaders Series (Dramatized), Hörbuch, Digital, 53min
    France was in a state of chaos. Her Royal Family and most of her nobility had been swept away during her bloody revolution and terror stalked the land. The country was bankrupt, her armies a rabble of ill-fed, half-naked men. And then, within a few brief years, these same armies were sweeping across Europe in an all-conquering flood. As if by a miracle, a man had arisen who restored France to her former greatness, and more. In so doing he made himself the idol of France and the bogey-man of every other European nation. This audio biography traces the fascinating career of an incredible man, his rise to unparalleled heights, his triumphs, the disaster of the Russian campaign, and his final defeat at the hands of Wellington at the Battle of Waterloo, a defeat that was to end in his degradation and a lonely death on the remote island of St Helena. The part of Napoleon is played by Ian Gelder. Other parts are played by Geoffrey Hinsliff and Hugh Morton. Language: English. Narrator: Edward de Souza, Full Cast.

    Rescue Board: The Untold Story of America's Efforts to Save the Jews of Europe , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 769min
    Winner of the National Jewish Book Award For more than a decade, a harsh Congressional immigration policy kept most Jewish refugees out of America, even as Hitler and the Nazis closed in. In 1944, the United States finally acted. That year, Franklin D. Roosevelt created the War Refugee Board, and put a young Treasury lawyer named John Pehle in charge. Over the next 20 months, Pehle pulled together a team of DC pencil pushers, international relief workers, smugglers, diplomats, millionaires, and rabble-rousers to run operations across four continents and a dozen countries. Together, they tricked the Nazis, forged identity papers, maneuvered food and medicine into concentration camps, recruited spies, leaked news stories, laundered money, negotiated ransoms, and funneled millions of dollars into Europe. They bought weapons for the French Resistance and sliced red tape to allow Jewish refugees to escape to Palestine. In this remarkable work of historical reclamation, Holocaust historian Rebecca Erbelding pieces together years of research and newly uncovered archival materials to tell the dramatic story of America’s little-known efforts to save the Jews of Europe. ungekürzt.

    Rosa's mother is singing again, for the first time since Papa died in an accident in the mills. But instead of filling their cramped tenement apartment with Italian lullabies, Mamma is out on the streets singing union songs, and Rosa is terrified that her mother and older sister, Anna, are endangering their lives by marching against the corrupt mill owners. After all, didn't Miss Finch tell the class that the strikers are nothing but rabble-rousers; an uneducated, violent mob? Suppose Mamma and Anna are jailed or, worse, killed? What will happen to Rosa and little Ricci? When Rosa is sent to Vermont with other children to live with strangers until the strike is over, she fears she will never see her family again. Then, on the train, a boy begs her to pretend that he is her brother. Alone and far from home, she agrees to protect him, even though she suspects that he is hiding some terrible secret.

    For years, Virgil Cole and Everett Hitch have ridden roughshod over rabble-rousers and gun hands in troubled towns like Appaloosa, Resolution, and Brimstone. Now, newly appointed as territorial marshalls, they find themselves traveling by train through the Indian Territories. Their first marshaling duty starts out as a simple mission: to escort Mexican prisoners to the border. But when the governor of Texas, his wife, and his daughters climb aboard with their bodyguards and $500,000 in tow, their journey suddenly becomes a lot more complicated. The problem is Bloody Bob Brandice. He and Virgil have had it out before, an encounter that left Brandice face-down in the street with two .44 slugs lodged in him. Now, 12 years later, on a night train struggling uphill in a thunderstorm, Brandice is back - and he's not alone. Cole and Hitch find themselves in the midst of a heist with a horde of very bad men, two beautiful young hostages, and a man with a vendetta he's determined to carry out. ungekürzt.

    The Tiananmen Square Massacre: The History and Legacy of the Chinese Government's Crackdown on the 1989 Protests , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 95min
    On June 5, 1989, a petrifying procession of Type 59 tanks with bright red stars emblazoned on the sides rolled down the eerily vacant streets of Chang'an Avenue, headed towards Tiananmen Square. Photographer Jeff Widener, along with the disorderly rabble of the media, public, and protesters, watched with bated breath, some from the sidelines, and some from the windows of buildings and nearby establishments. Suddenly, the buzz of panic turned into a chorus of disbelieving gasps. A man by his lonesome, dressed in a white cotton blouse and a pair of black slacks, casually strolled into the street, two shopping bags swinging in hand. Some were bewildered by the thought of the man foolishly attempting to cross the road at the worst possible time, but when this man deliberately stopped in the path of the tanks, there was a beat of stunned silence. The man, perhaps unaware of the thousands of eyes fixated on him, coolly stared down the tanks as their treads slowly grinded to a halt, one at a time. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Deadly Affair: A Georgian Historical Mystery: Alec Halsey Mystery, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 679min
    Career diplomat Alec Halsey has been elevated to a marquessate he doesn't want. His lover has decided she won't marry him after all. What's more, the suspicion that he murdered his brother still lingers in London drawing rooms. So returning to London after seven months' seclusion may have been a mistake. Alec's foreboding deepens when a nobody vicar drops dead at a party-political dinner, he witnesses the very public humiliation of an up-and-coming portrait painter, and his rabble-rousing uncle Plantagenet is bashed and left for dead in a laneway. When the vicar's true identity is revealed, Alec suspects the man was poisoned. But who would want a seemingly harmless man of God murdered, and why? Lucinda Brant's Alec Halsey mysteries explore the darker side of her deliciously romantic 18th century world. Along with trademark wit and high drama there are deeper subplots and even quirkier characters that will have you shuddering and laughing in equal measure! 2012 Australian Romance Readers Awards finalist ungekürzt.

    Thud! , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 631min
    Commander Sam Vimes of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch will be damned if he lets anyone disturb his city's always tentative peace, and that includes a rabble-rousing dwarf from the sticks who's been stirring up trouble on the eve of the anniversary of one of Discworld's most infamous historical events. Centuries earlier, in a hellhole called Koom Valley, trolls met dwarfs in bloody combat. Though nobody's quite sure why they fought or who actually won, each species still bears the cultural scars and views the other with simmering animosity. Lately, an influential dwarf, Grag Hamcrusher, has been fomenting unrest among Ankh-Morpork's more diminutive citizens. And it doesn't help matters when the pint-size provocateur is discovered beaten to death, with a troll club lying nearby. Vimes knows the well-being of his city depends on his ability to solve the Hamcrusher homicide. But there's more than one corpse waiting for him in the vast mine network the dwarfs have been excavating beneath Ankh-Morpork's streets. A deadly puzzle is pulling Sam Vimes deep into the muck and mire of superstition, hatred, and fear, and perhaps all the way to Koom Valley itself. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Part of the Contemporary Christian series.John Stott's best-selling volume, The Contemporary Christian: An Urgent Plea for Double Listening, updated and presented for today's audience.The church lies at the centre of God's purpose.

The former is beautiful: God's special treasure, the covenant community, a haven of love and peace. The latter? A motley rabble needing constant rebuke and exhortation.Here we focus on the ideal, on what God intends his church to be, while all the time keeping in view the reality, so that we can grasp the changes that need to be made.About the authorJohn Stott exercised a worldwide ministry as a church leader, Bible expositor and author. His best-selling books have been translated into numerous languages, won several awards and shaped whole generations of ministers, thinkers, writers and bloggers.
