    Little Thumb, Hörbuch, Digital, 24min
    Little Thumb is the youngest of seven children in a poor woodcutter's family. His greater wisdom compensates for his smallness of size. When the children are abandoned by their parents, he finds a variety of means to save his life and the lives of his brothers. After being threatened and pursued by an ogre, Poucet steals his magic seven-league boots while the monster is sleeping. "Once upon a time there was a fagot-maker and his wife, who had seven children, all boys. The eldest was but ten years old, and the youngest only seven. They were very poor, and their seven children were a great source of trouble to them because not one of them was able to earn his bread. What gave them yet more uneasiness was that the youngest was very delicate, and scarce ever spoke a word, which made people take for stupidity that which was a sign of good sense. He was very little, and when born he was no bigger than one's thumb; hence he was called Little Thumb. The poor child was the drudge of the household, and was always in the wrong. He was, however, the brightest and most discreet of all the brothers; and if he spoke little, he heard and thought the more. Language: English. Narrator: Wally Fields.

    Stone Monkey: A Lincoln Rhyme Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 916min
    The follow-up to Jeffery Deaver's massive best seller The Bone Collector (now a feature film starring Angelina Jolie and Denzel Washington), Stone Monkey is a "simply outstanding" (San Jose Mercury News) addition to the Lincoln Rhyme series! First introduced in the spine-chilling novel The Bone Collector, Lincoln Rhyme dazzled listeners with unparalleled forensic sleuthing - all done from the confines of a wheelchair. A famed criminologist paralyzed from the neck down, Rhyme compensates for his physical disability with his brains - and the arms and legs of his brilliant and beautiful protégée, Amelia Sachs. It is Amelia who "walks the grid" for Rhyme, acting as his eyes and ears for the famously dangerous and difficult cases chronicled in Jeffery Deaver's best-selling novels The Bone Collector, The Coffin Dancer, and The Empty Chair. Now the awe-inspiring duo returns in Stone Monkey. Recruited to help the FBI and the Immigration and Naturalization Service perform the nearly impossible, Lincoln and Amelia manage to track down a cargo ship headed for New York City and carrying two dozen illegal Chinese immigrants as well as the notorious human smuggler and killer known as "the Ghost". But when the Ghost's capture goes disastrously wrong, Lincoln and Amelia find themselves in a race against time: to stop the Ghost before he can track down and murder the two surviving families who have escaped from the ship and vanished deep into the labyrinthine world of New York City's Chinatown. ungekürzt.

    The Stone Monkey: A Lincoln Rhyme Novel, Hörbuch, Digital, 315min
    A famed criminologist, paralyzed from the neck down, Lincoln Rhyme compensates for his physical disability with his brains - and the arms and legs of his brilliant and beautiful protege, Amelia Sachs. The awe-inspiring duo returns in The Stone Monkey. Recruited to help the FBI and the Immigration and Naturalization Service perform the nearly impossible, Lincoln and Amelia track down a cargo ship headed for New York City carrying two dozen illegal Chinese immigrants, as well as the notorious human smuggler and killer known as "the Ghost". But when the Ghost's capture goes disastrously wrong, Lincoln and Amelia find themselves in a race against time. They must stop him before he can track down and murder the two surviving families who have escaped from the ship and vanished deep into the labyrinthine world of New York City's Chinatown. Over the next harrowing 48 hours, the Ghost ruthlessly hunts for the families, while Rhyme struggles to find them before they die. Amelia pursues a very different kind of police work: forming a connection with one of the immigrants that may have consequences going to the core of her relationship with her partner and lover, Lincoln Rhyme. The Stone Monkey abounds with Deaver's famous trademarks: wholly unexpected plot twists and breakneck pacing, reminding us once again of why People hailed him as the "master of ticking-bomb suspense" and Publishers Weekly called him the "most clever plotter on the planet".

    Summary of The Obesity Code: by Jason Fung | Includes Analysis , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 20min
    Summary of The Obesity Code by Jason Fung | Includes Analysis Preview: The Obesity Code addresses the history, causes, and treatments of obesity and today's rising obesity rates. By understanding it through scientific and social study, obesity becomes less of a blanket term for metabolic complications and a more tangible problem with real, though not widely practiced, solutions. The main problem with treating obesity is that many doctors and their obese patients don't know what actually causes obesity. Often, health experts believe that weight gain results from consuming too many calories while not expending enough calories, a theory known as "calories in, calories out." However, decades of research has proven that this obesity model is problematic and oversimplified. Calorie consumption and expenditure are not independent of each other. If people decrease calorie consumption in an effort to lose weight, their body compensates by slowing down processes such as metabolism to expend fewer calories. Also, exercise is not nearly as instrumental in weight loss as was once thought. PLEASE NOTE: This is key takeaways and analysis of the book and NOT the original book. Inside this Instaread summary of The Obesity Code Overview of the Book Important People Key Takeaways Analysis of Key Takeaways About the Author With Instaread, you can get the key takeaways, summary and analysis of a book in 15 minutes. We read every chapter, identify the key takeaways and analyze them for your convenience. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sam Scholl.

    The Eighth Page: A Christmas Journey , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1133min
    The story finds David as an astute, intelligent and well-groomed business man in his late 50s. While his upbringing was extraordinarily difficult due to the death of his father when David was eight, a hardworking mother of faith and a wise aunt groomed by her own hardships shape David into a young man of robust vision and deep determination, all of which is undergirded by a spirited faith. He emerges in his late teens seeing the world as bristling with opportunity and brimming with hope.  However, the road of life takes a devastating turn. Well into 13 years of marriage and with two endearing children, David sees his life as being the picture of everything he had ever dreamt of. Yet, entirely unbeknownst to him, his wife has been engaged in a prolonged and illicit affair. Through lies, deceit, and devious trickery, she quietly stages a divorce designed to destroy him, wreck his career, and rob him of his children. The results are nothing short of catastrophic.David’s world implodes. His belief in hope, in faith, and in other people is smashed, leaving him unable to live anything but a toxically jaded life. As opposed to his younger self, he now views life as a cruel joke played on naive people who create myths around hope and faith because they don’t exist in the real world. David compensates for his pain by constructing a stellar career. Yet, it is a band aid and nothing of a cure. Actually hoping for a cure was to ‘hope’, and hope was infinitely too risky. So he didn’t. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Garrett Howard. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/137351/bk_acx0_137351_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    Inspector Hobbes and the Blood: Unhuman, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 627min
    Set in a small Cotswold town, Inspector Hobbes and the Blood is a fast-paced comedy cozy mystery fantasy about the adventures of Andy, an incompetent reporter, when he is reluctantly working with Inspector Hobbes, a police detective with a reputation. Andy soon finds himself immersed in a world where not everyone is human, and a late-night visit to a churchyard nearly results in grave consequences, and a ghoulish outcome. An accidental fire leads to Andy having to doss in Hobbes's spare room. Contending with a wave of murder, suicide, and robbery, as well as Hobbes's weirdness, is the just the start; he must also get to grips with Mrs. Goodfellow, Hobbes's housekeeper, who collects teeth. Although they are mostly from humans, she also claims to have some vampire specimens. However, Andy soon finds her wonderful cooking compensates for her eccentricities. Despite Andy believing he is coping, he is nearly unhinged by horror when a stressed Hobbes's concealed nature reveals itself in an orgy of bone-crunching. Yet, coming through unscathed, Andy develops respect and admiration for his host, even when he uses weird, occasionally brutal, methods to begin unravelling the mystery, which would appear to link The Order of the Dragon and Vlad Tepes, the original Dracula, to the crime wave. When Hobbes goes missing, Andy, with the dubious assistance of Dregs, Hobbes's big, bad dog, and armed with a leg of lamb, searches for him. Will he triumph over crazed blood lust and human sacrifice? Can Andy with Hobbes's friends, a binge-drinking dwarf and a troll who looks uncannily human, save the day? And can Andy catch vampirism from false teeth? These and other questions may be answered in Inspector Hobbes and the Blood. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tim Campbell.

    The Way of Spiritual Encouragement: The Christian Way, Book 12 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 211min
    These messages that constitute the book, The Way of Spiritual Encouragement, were written while I was away from Cameroon to seek God's face and sort out many things with him. They have been a great blessing to me. I was shocked by what the Lord was saying to me and, by his grace, will say to those he will allow to listen to these messages. My own faith in him grew as I wrote them. I have been deeply comforted to know that God is so good, so loving and so gracious. My desire is to love him more and more. I have received answers to many of my questions, and my problems have found solutions in him. Somehow, in a way I cannot explain, love has welled up in my heart for all his children - my beloved brothers and sisters in him - irrespective of whatever differences we have had. He has been good to me. Because these messages were written over a period of 10 days, l have not done very much thinking about them. I have just allowed what God has put on my heart to flow out, and sometimes he has been gracious to allow things to flow out which l had never seen. If you approach them as the sharing of something from my heart to yours, you will, by God's grace, be blessed. If you approach them as talks on doctrine, you may have problems. I suggest that you just open your heart to God and receive what he has for you. I pray that you should listen to all the messages, for it may be that what God has for your need may not be in the first message nor in the second, but somewhere else. If you receive a little encouragement and assurance in the Lord as you listen to this book, I will consider that as a bonus. The blessing to my own spiritual life, received as l wrote, more than compensates me. May the Lord God, the author and finisher of our faith, be magnified for all the grace that he has shown to me, who am but one of his most undeserving servants. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Lamentationes/Tenebrae Responsorien
    Richard Marlow (Dir) // "The Trinity choir succeeds in conveying the texts without straying into the dangerous territory of high drama ...their superb discipline compensates for the fact that these are first and foremost liturgical works with roots deeply embedded in the performing traditions of the Roman Catholic Church."
