    Malestrom: Manhood Swept into the Currents of a Changing World , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 370min
    Malestrom builds on and expands previous books by Carolyn Custis James to explore the idea of manhood, a growing issue both in the wider culture and in the church. Until now the entire discussion has been largely reduced to Western conceptions. Instead James here shows how our culture's narrow definitions of manhood are upended when we consider the examples of men in the Bible and Jesus' gospel. Together they show a whole new Kingdom way of being male and forging men and women into the Blessed Alliance. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Diana Batrseh.

    Half the Church: Recapturing God's Global Vision for Women , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 361min
    Women comprise at least half the world, and usually more than half the church, but so often Christian teaching to women either fails to move beyond a discussion of roles, or assumes a particular economic situation or stage of life. This all but shuts women out from contributing to God's kingdom as they were designed to do. Furthermore, the plight of women in the Majority World demands a Christian response, a holistic embrace of all that God calls women and men to be in his world. The strongest voices speaking into women's lives in the 21st century are Islam and feminism - systems that reside at opposite ends of the spectrum. Does the church's message for women stake out the middle ground, or lead the way to something much better? The Bible contains the highest possible view of women and invests women's lives with cosmic significance, regardless of their age, stage of life, social status, or culture. Carolyn Custis James unpacks three transformative themes the Bible presents to women that raise the bar for women and calls them to join their brothers in advancing God's gracious kingdom on earth. These new images of what can be in Christ free women to embrace the life God gives them, no matter what happens. Carolyn encourages listeners with a positive, kingdom approach to the changes, challenges, and opportunities facing women throughout the world today. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Last Crossing: A Novel, Hörbuch, Digital, 678min
    Master storyteller Guy Vanderhaeghe, hailed by Richard Ford as "simply a wonderful writer," takes us on an exhilarating journey from the ivy-covered towers of Oxford in Victorian England to the dusty whiskey trading posts of the nineteenth-century American and Canadian West. Englishmen Charles and Addington Gaunt are ordered by their tyrannical industrialist father to find their brother Simon, who has gone missing in the wilds of the American West. Charles, a disillusioned artist, and Addington, a disgraced military captain, set off to Fort Benton in America and enlist the services of a guide to lead them north, where Simon was last seen. The brothers hire the enigmatic Jerry Potts, half Blackfoot, half Scot, who suffers from his own painful past. At Addington's command, the party grows to include Caleb Ayto, a sycophantic American journalist, who is to record the journey for posterity; Lucy Stoveall, a fiery and beautiful woman who is bent on finding the men who viciously killed her sister; Custis Straw, a Civil War veteran in love with Lucy; and saloon keeper Aloysius Dooley. This unlikely posse, now encumbered with both psychological baggage and wagon trains, becomes entangled in an unfolding drama that forces each to come to terms with his or her own demons. Told from alternating points of view and in vivid flashbacks, The Last Crossing is a novel of ruggedness and salvation, an epic masterpiece set in a time when worlds collided, were destroyed, and were built new.

    The Indigo Gullah Brothers , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 540min
    During the embryonic years of this nation, Indigo Island was cultivated with plantations and populated with slaves brought from West Africa to work them. Needless to say, life was hard for the slaves, but because of the remoteness of the sea island, they were allowed to keep much of their West African culture alive and devise an exclusive way of communicating - a patois of their own called "Gullah Gee Chee".Fast-forward to the 1960s. Progeny of the Gullah-Gee Chee people live on the island, alongside a minority of whites; Rayma Rust, abused by her lowlife and mostly absent husband, raises children, Jasmine and Jerome, and the trio survives on the meager earnings from her restaurant.Doctor Beeler Custis, mourning the recent loss of his wife, Mary, lives on the island with his son, Wyman. Jasmine, Jerome, and Wyman become fast friends and friends with their black neighbors, naturally immersing themselves in the Gullah-Gee Chee culture and speaking the patois fluently. The boys form a band with the Greathouse brothers, sons of Mavis, a "Root Doctor", worshiper of Jesus Christ, a conjurer, and keeper of ancient traditions.The band, The Indigo Gullah Brothers, becomes quite popular, entertaining audiences with old -time blues, soul, and beach music. And when they aren't playing music, they are students of nature, studying the endless lessons proffered by life in the low country. Enjoy this rare glimpse into the children of the marsh, who overcome the pain, and revel in the pleasures of their unique existence, with a dramatic flair that will keep you listening to the very end. ungekürzt.

    The World's Greatest Generals: The Life and Career of Robert E. Lee , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 158min
    It is well that war is so terrible, otherwise we should grow too fond of it. (Robert E. Lee) With the exception of George Washington, perhaps the most famous general in American history is Robert E. Lee (January 19, 1807-October 12, 1870), despite the fact he led the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia against the Union in the Civil War. As the son of US Revolutionary War hero Henry "Light Horse Harry" Lee III and a relative of Martha Custis Washington, Lee was imbued with a strong sense of honor and duty from the beginning. And as a top graduate of West Point, Lee had distinguished himself so well before the Civil War that President Lincoln asked him to command the entire Union Army. Lee famously declined, serving his home state of Virginia instead, after it seceded. Lee is remembered today for constantly defeating the Union's Army of the Potomac in the Eastern theater from 1862-1865, considerably frustrating Lincoln and his generals. His leadership of his army led to him being deified after the war by some of his former subordinates, especially Virginians, and he came to personify the lost cause's ideal Southern soldier. His reputation was secured, in the decades after the war, as a general who brilliantly led his men to amazing victories against all odds. Despite his successes and his legacy, Lee wasn't perfect. And of all the battles Lee fought in, he was most criticized for Gettysburg, particularly his order of Pickett's Charge on the third and final day of the war. Despite the fact that his principle subordinate and corps leader, General James Longstreet, advised against the charge, Lee went ahead with it, ending the army’s defeat at Gettysburg with a violent climax that left half of the men who charged killed or wounded. ungekürzt.
