Irony and Meaning in the Hebrew Bible: Indiana Studies in Biblical Literature , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 819min
Was God being ironic in commanding Eve not to eat fruit from the tree of wisdom? Carolyn J. Sharp suggests that many stories in the Hebrew Scriptures may be ironically intended. Deftly interweaving literary theory and exegesis, Sharp illumines the power of the unspoken in a wide variety of texts from the Pentateuch, the Prophets, and the Writings. She argues that reading with irony in mind creates a charged and open rhetorical space in the texts that allows character, narration, and authorial voice to develop in unexpected ways. Main themes explored here include the ironizing of foreign rulers, the prostitute as icon of the ironic gaze, indeterminacy and dramatic irony in prophetic performance, and irony in ancient Israel's wisdom traditions. Sharp devotes special attention to how irony destabilizes dominant ways in which the Bible is read today, especially when it touches on questions of conflict, gender, and the other.

8 Keys to Recovery from an Eating Disorder: Effective Strategies from Therapeutic Practice and Personal Experience , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 559min
This is no ordinary book on how to overcome an eating disorder. The authors bravely share their unique stories of suffering from and eventually overcoming their own severe eating disorders.

For anyone who has suffered, their family and friends, and other helping professionals, this book should be by your side. With great compassion and clinical expertise, Carolyn Costin and Gwen Schubert Grabb walk listeners through the ins and outs of the recovery process, describing what therapy entails, clarifying the common associated emotions such as fear, guilt, and shame and, most of all, providing motivation to seek help if you have been discouraged, resistant, or afraid. The authors bring self-disclosure to a level not yet seen in an eating disorder book and offer hope that full recovery is possible. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Donna Postel.

Dead Mountain: The Untold True Story of the Dyatlov Pass Incident , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 383min
In February 1959, a group of nine experienced hikers in the Russian Ural Mountains died mysteriously on an elevation known as Dead Mountain. Eerie aspects of the incident—unexplained violent injuries, signs that they cut open and fled the tent without proper clothing or shoes, a strange final photograph taken by one of the hikers, and elevated levels of radiation found on some of their clothes—have led to decades of speculation over what really happened. This gripping work of literary nonfiction delves into the mystery through unprecedented access to the hikers' own journals and photographs, rarely seen government records, dozens of interviews, and the author's retracing of the hikers' fateful journey in the Russian winter. A fascinating portrait of the young hikers in the Soviet era, and a skillful interweaving of the hikers narrative, the investigators' efforts, and the author's investigations, here for the first time is the real story of what happened that night on Dead Mountain. ungekürzt.

Healing Cancer with Qigong: One Man's Search for Healing and Love in Curing His Cancer with Complementary Therapy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 359min
Our bodies ultimately are fields of energy consciousness and possess within them a potent spontaneous healing supremacy over pathogens and diseases. Complementary therapy involves a shift in the fields of body, mind and spirit matrix, so as to bring about a rectification of a state of disease that has gone out of balance. Consequently complementary healing involves interweaving all the strands of healing modalities: oncological treatments, qigong, meditation, nutrition, acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine, converging into a tidal force of cleansing against this most insidious dark assassin, cancer. If I have gone further it is by standing on the shoulders of great pioneers of Qigong healers and thus, it is with a deep sense of gratitude and humility that I share with you my own healing journey on the macabre battleground of cancer. May this book benefit all beings in their struggle with the darkness of disease and may they emerge victorious into the light of healing. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Colby Howard.
