The Pilgrim's Progress , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 559min
Next to The Bible, The Pilgrim's Progress has probably been more widely read than any other book in the English language, and rightfully so. It is considered by most critics as the greatest allegory in any language. And to think that it was written by a jailed tinker who received very little formal education. This is the enthralling account of a Christian's epic journey. With a burden on his back, Christian reads a book that tells him that the city in which he and his family dwell will be set ablaze. Christian flees from the City of Destruction and journeys through the Slough of Despond, the Interpreter's House, the House Beautiful, the Valley of Humiliation, the Valley of the Shadow of Death, Vanity Fair, Doubting Castle, and the Delectable Mountains, and finally reaches the Celestial City. ungekürzt.

The Pilgrim's Progress
HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics.THE PILGRIM'S PROGRESS, John Bunyan's masterful religious allegory, narrates the journey of an everyman hero, Christian, as he attempts to navigate the trials and tribulations of this world, the City of Destruction, on the path towards paradise, the Celestial City. Though weighed down by the burden of original sin, Christian overcomes the distractions of the world, moving past the Slough of Despond, the Hill of Difficulty and the Valley of the Shadow of Death, while simultaneously resisting the temptations of the Worldy Wise, the Vain and the Ignorant. The product of a lifetime of religious work and thought, Bunyan's virtuosic narrative fundamentally altered Protestant belief, and remains one of the most important and influential works in the English language.- Shop: buecher

Not Yet: Finding Freedom When Anxiety, Depression, and Other Crap Come Knocking at Your Door , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 185min
Sometimes when we look for black and white, all we find is more grey. Sometimes we are waiting on God to answer our prayer before we feel like we can trust he’s even listening. Toby Slough, a seasoned leader and pastor of a large church, shares candidly about his public battle with anxiety and depression. Through his story, you will find God at work in the most unlikely, “un-churchy” things. He is not standing far off somewhere waiting for you but walking with you, right in the middle of your brokenness and mess. God is with you in your "not yet".Not Yet is for those who fight feelings of being “less than”. For those who, like the prodigal son, are living in a pigpen, and whether it’s from your poor decision-making or someone else’s, you’re desperate for someone to throw you a lifeline. It’s for the divorced dad who never gets to see his kids. It’s for the single mom who lays down at night wondering where she’ll get the strength to make it another day. It’s for the business leader who, by all appearances, has it all but lays in bed at night wondering why his world is spinning out of control. It’s for the college girl who knows she shouldn’t measure her worth by comparing herself to the airbrushed images of Instagram but doesn’t have a clue how to stop that train from leaving the station. It’s for every person whose image of Jesus has been tainted by a Christian teacher, leader, or friend who made them feel like the problem was a lack of faith. It’s for the guy or girl who hasn’t had their biggest prayers answered and have convinced themselves, “Either something is wrong with me or something is wrong with God because this Jesus thing just doesn’t seem to work for me.” And it’s for the thousands of people just like me who love Jesus and suffer from panic attacks, anxiety, or depression and find themselves wondering what in the hell God is up to.Not Yet is about not beating yourself up for being scared but learning how to live with cou ungekürzt.

The Removal Company: A Joe Scintilla Historical Mystery Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 330min
Arthur Vance walks into P.I. Joe Scintilla's office and tells him an incredible story: his wife, Katharine, had commited suicide a year and a half before, and yet he is convinced that she is now passing under the name of Elena Cavalieri, having just been married to another man. Is Vance merely distraught over his wife's death, or is he correct in believing that "The Removal Company" - a shadowy organization that appears to help those who wish to slough off the burden of existence, and which assisted Katharine in her self-destruction-is something much more sinister than it appears? Thus begins a fast-paced investigation by Scintilla and Vance, as they shuttle back and forth from New York to Los Angeles, and even as far as Italy, to find out what they can about the mysterious Dr. Sanderson, the director of The Removal Company. It requires all of Scintilla's brain power, legwork, and guts to hunt down his prey. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Michael Goldstrom.

The Pilgrim's Progress , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 606min
As I walk'd through the wilderness of this world, I lighted on a certain place, where was a Denn; And I laid me down in that place to sleep: And as I slept I dreamed a Dream. So begins one of the best-loved and most widely read books in English literature. An acknowledged classic of the heroic Puritan tradition, and a founding text in the development of the English novel, The Pilgrim's Progress has inspired readers for over three centuries. The story of Christian, whose pilgrimage takes him through the Slough of Despond, Vanity Fair, and the Delectable Mountains, is full of danger and adventure. Together with his trusty companions, Faithful and Hopeful, he encounters many enemies before finally arriving at the Celestial City. John Bunyan's own experience of religious persecution informs his story, but its qualities of psychological realism, and the beauty and simplicity of his prose, give the book universal appeal. ungekürzt.

The Redneck Way of Knowledge: The Author's Cut , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 306min
This intoxicating book by the author of The Revolution of Little Girls combines autobiography, reporting, and the dressed-up lies we call fiction. An underground classic since its initial publication, it is the wildly funny personal testament of Blanche McCrary Boyd, '60s radical and born-again Southerner, a lesbian with an un-PC passion for skydiving and stock-car racing, a graduate of Esalen and kundalini yoga who now takes her altered states "raw, like oysters".The Redneck Way of Knowledge is about family reunions and kamikaze love affairs. It is about crashing an arts festival with two precociously decayed Charleston aristocrats and watching the pope deliver Communion at Yankee Stadium. It is about the selves we try on and slough off on the way to becoming who we are. Throughout, Blanche Boyd travels the expressway between the realm of the senses and the state of grace and reports on the journey in prose that combines riotous humor, diamond-hard intelligence, and savage lyricism. ungekürzt.

An English Library Journey: With Detours to Wales and Northern Ireland (eBook, ePUB)
"A Hymn of Praise to the Palaces of Delight that should grace every street corner. Absolutely exquisite." Ian McMillan John Bevis is a writer and book-lover on an eccentric quest: to obtain a membership card from every library authority in England.In a ten-year mission criss-crossing the country - from Solihull to Slough, from Cleveland to Cornwall - he enrols at libraries of all shapes and sizes: monuments to Art Deco or Brutalism; a converted corset factory; one even shaped like a pork pie.With the architectural eye of Pevsner and the eavesdropping ear of Bill Bryson, he engages us at every step with anecdotes and aperçus about the role of the public library in our national life, while ruing its decline in the age of austerity.As interested in the people he finds as he is in the buildings and their history, he is a humane, witty and erudite guide. The result is a book to be treasured by anyone who has ever used a library.- Shop: buecher
