Snatched Up to Heaven! , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 159min
I had a dream about heaven! exclaimed Priyanka. Running up to her mom one morning, four-year-old Priyanka nonchalantly mentioned that Jesus had taken her and her two-year-old sister Deepika to heaven during the previous night. In the days that followed, the sisters amazed their parents with their vivid descriptions of what they saw and experienced in heaven and hell over the course of several visits there. Within the constraints of their limited preschool vocabulary, the girls described deep theological truths about eternity that often belied their years, speaking with remarkable clarity and boldness. Their mom initially recorded their testimonies in a written journal as well as a video log. Now, for the first time, "Snatched Up to Heaven" documents their true accounts alongside the purifying lens of the Word of God. While much of the narrative focuses on our after-life destinies, Snatched Up to Heaven will give you a fresh perspective on how to live a life of eternal significance today. ungekürzt.

Highland Belle , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 502min
Wed through an arranged marriage to a tyrannical Scot, Brigette Devereux picked up her pride and left. Her hair was red as a fox, her skin smooth as silk. Her pure complexion belied her fiery heart and her turbulent past. Her quest for freedom flung her straight into the embrace of Lord Iain MacArthur. She was rebellious; he was consuming. He was treacherous, and she was no stranger to treachery. She was fair, and he was darkness. Together they would set ablaze the time they had between them. Tossed from one tyrant to another, Brigette could not deny his evil ways, nor could she deny her passion for him. His sweet-talking lips won her over, and he brought his new bride to Dunridge Castle. But was this really a castle, or would it be a prison? Before Brigette was willing to find out, she fled again. From Scottish countryside through highlands, across lakes, and down-country through England to the shadowy streets of London, Lord Iain MacArthur would chase his prize, and Brigette would flee the man who loved her. She was a free spirit, and he was driven to capture her heart! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ruth Urquhart.

Why Karen Carpenter Matters , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 198min
In the '60s and '70s, America's music scene was marked by raucous excess, reflected in the tragic overdoses of young superstars such as Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin. At the same time, the uplifting harmonies and sunny lyrics that propelled Karen Carpenter and her brother, Richard, to international fame belied a different sort of tragedy - the underconsumption that led to Karen's death at age 32 from the effects of an eating disorder. In Why Karen Carpenter Matters, Karen Tongson (whose Filipino musician parents named her after the pop icon) interweaves the story of the singer’s rise to fame with her own trans-Pacific journey between Manila - where imitations of American pop styles flourished - and Karen Carpenter’s home ground of Southern California. Tongson reveals why the Carpenters' chart-topping, seemingly whitewashed musical fantasies of "normal love" can now have profound significance for her - as well as for other people of color, LGBT+ communities, and anyone outside the mainstream culture usually associated with Karen Carpenter’s legacy. This hybrid of memoir and biography excavates the destructive perfectionism at the root of the Carpenters’ sound while finding the beauty in the singer's flawed, all too brief life. ungekürzt.

Salt River
In this book Sebastian Posingis photographs the famed Sri Lankan garden of architect Geoffrey Bawa (1919-2003), described by its creator as a "place of many moods, the result of many imaginings." In 1948, as Ceylon was slipping off the shackles of colonial rule, the then young reluctant lawyer Bawa returned home from a decade of study and travel, and bought an abandoned rubber estate near the town of Bentota. He renamed it "Lunuganga" or "Salt River," and set out to transform it into a tropical evocation of the great landscape gardens of England and Italy that he had explored during his travels. 50 years later the garden was in its prime and had taken on a life of its own. Great trees had been felled and new ones planted to create it, hills had been moved and terraces cut, and now artworks graced it as objects for contemplation. And yet the garden seemed so natural that it belied the effort of its creation; it was a manicured wilderness of green on green, a place of unfolding vistas and rhythms. Today the garden survives, miraculously and precariously; and now within the pages of this book.- Shop: buecher
