2nd Nephi: A Brief Theological Introduction , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 167min
“I have seen a vision, in which I know that Jerusalem is destroyed….” In the wake of epic cataclysm, Nephi launches a second book of writings. Inspired by the prophet Isaiah’s remarkable account of the scattering and gathering of God’s covenant people, Nephi aches to reassure his family by providing a clear understanding of their unbroken place in God’s design. Interweaving history, theology, and prophecy, Nephi brings together the covenant’s ancient roots and its future fulfillment, orienting everything around the person of Jesus Christ. In this brief theological introduction, Terryl Givens echoes Nephi’s invitation for listeners to keep Christ front and center in their minds, hearts, and worship. Givens finds clear emphasis on the Redeemer’s healing atonement, the promise of resurrection, the necessity of oppositional strife and of agency wisely employed, and other plain and precious truths lost or obscured by time. Above all, Nephi presents essential elements of the doctrine of Christ, emphasizing repentance as a lifelong process of heart reeducation, and of scripture as a resource for spiritual succor and personal revelation. Jerusalem is destroyed. But all is not lost. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bruce Lindsay. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/194264/bk_acx0_194264_sample.mp3.

The Dark Is Rising: Book 2 of The Dark Is Rising Sequence , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 522min
On the Midwinter Day that is his eleventh birthday, Will Stanton discovers a special gift: he is the last of the Old Ones, immortals dedicated to keeping the world from domination by the forces of evil, the Dark. At once, he is plunged into a quest for the six magical Signs that will one day aid the Old Ones in the final battle between the Dark and the Light. And for the twelve days of Christmas, while the Dark is rising, life for Will is full of wonder, terror, and delight. This book is a rare act of creative imagination in which the listener will be equally moved by the warm happy village life Will shares with his large family and the nearly overwhelming danger he encounters, often in other centuries and places, while he seeks the Signs and learns their power. Interweaving ancient Celtic and English traditions with the legends of the Buckinghamshire hills and valleys where she grew up, Susan Cooper has written a superlative dramatic fantasy of the eternal conflict between good and evil out of which all myth is made. ungekürzt.

American Rapture , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 68min
Read by the author, this collection of poetry is for all the hearts that have done everything "right" but still end up in a gutter - all the people who are pissed off and unfulfilled, and who are able to laugh at themselves.No more lies. No more pretending. Whether we have lost our self-concept to our own broken childhoods, to parenthood, to careers, to marriages, to the wrong lovers - it is time for us to champion one another's truths, to embrace our worth, and to dispel toxic expectations of perfection.Borne out of the author's postpartum depression journey (and subsequent nervous breakdown) and sexual awakening in her 30s, Jordan's poems explore the interweaving of relationships, loss, healing, and self-worth. This collection follows the trajectory of self-exploration through relationships that have broken down and brought her closer to herself, prior to and in the aftermath of hospitalization - predominantly, the abandonment of Jordan's mother, a trauma which only manifested once her own baby was placed in her arms. Jordan's bicultural marriage and experiences as an immigrant in Great Britain further highlight the complexity of one modern woman's quest for personhood. ungekürzt. Language: English.

A Legacy of Spies , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 508min
Penguin presents the unabridged downloadable audiobook edition of A Legacy of Spies by John le Carré, read by Tom Hollander. This is the first novel in over 25 years to feature George Smiley, le Carré's most beloved character. Peter Guillam, staunch colleague and disciple of George Smiley of the British Secret Service, otherwise known as the Circus, is living out his old age on the family farmstead on the south coast of Brittany when a letter from his old Service summons him to London. The reason? His Cold War past has come back to claim him. Intelligence operations that were once the toast of secret London and involved such characters as Alec Leamas, Jim Prideaux, George Smiley and Peter Guillam himself are to be scrutinised under disturbing criteria by a generation with no memory of the Cold War and no patience with its justifications. Interweaving past with present so that each may tell its own intense story, John le Carré has spun a single plot as ingenious and thrilling as the two predecessors on which it looks back: The Spy Who Came in from the Cold and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. ungekürzt.

Dead Awake: The Last Crossing: The Dead Walking, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 215min
Compared to the New York Times best sellers. "A masterpiece of narrative fiction." "An enthralling story of the dying awake." With nothing in common, love sets the trap and they have everything to lose. "Gripping and powerful, Dead Awake captures the sheer drama and emotional power of true love as it is thrust down to dark realms of self-doubt and despair - where the delicate details of intimate meaning are torn and obscured by human error." Los Angeles Book Daily "Stunning sense of physical detail and elegant metaphors" (New York Reader) interweaving two lives from opposite ends of the globe, illuminating the way against tradition. A deeply magnificent novel from an author "whose sentences never fail to make you catch your breath" (Los Angeles Reviewer). In the style of A Doerr, a masterpiece. For listeners of Atul Gawande, Andrew Solomon, and Anne Lamott, this inspiring, exquisitely observed memoir of a dying man as he hopes for beauty in the face of insurmountable odds and attempts to answer the question, "What makes a life worth living?" True love. But what makes life worth dying for? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mr. Noriega, Mrs. Noriega. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/067137/bk_acx0_067137_sample.mp3.

Erwin Wurm
One of the most important artists of his generation, Erwin Wurm is internationally recognized for his unique way of reinventing sculpture through performance, video, drawing and photography. Accompanying the exhibition One Minute Forever at the Museum of Contemporary Art Belgrade, the eponymous catalogue looks back at Wurm's body work from 1996 to the present, and introduces significant new productions. Conceived as an introspective rather than a retrospective, it focuses on the interweaving of past and present contexts, and explores individual and collective experiences through reactivations of Wurm's iconic performative sculptures, converging towards a unique aim: redefining and extending sculpture into a resolutely participatory and playful medium that questions our way of looking at the world. ERWIN WURM (*1954, Bruck an der Mur) has been questioning our understanding of sculpture for over 25 years. Expressing the banalities and constraints of our everyday life in physical deformations, his oeuvre has been widely exhibited internationally and is represented in some of the most important collections worldwide. Wurm lives and works in Vienna and Limberg.- Shop: buecher

A bold, timely novel about speaking up and coming out as parents lobby to ban a beloved book from the middle school curriculum from New York Times-bestselling author David Levithan. When Donovan left his copy of The Adventurers on the kitchen counter, he didn't think his mom would read it-much less have a problem with it. It's just an adventure novel about two characters trying to stop an evil genius...right? But soon the entire town is freaking out about whether the book's main characters are gay, Donovan's mom is trying to get the book removed from the school curriculum, and Donovan is caught in the middle. Donovan doesn't really know if the two boys fall in love at the end or not-but he does know this: even if they do, it shouldn't matter. The book shouldn't be banned from school. Interweaving three connected storylines, David Levithan delivers a bold, fun, and timely story about taking action (whether it's against book censors of killing aligators...), being brave, and standing up for what's right.- Shop: buecher
