The Four Gives of Forgiveness (eBook, ePUB)
What does the word preemptive mean and why does it matter? What is a preemptive mindset? Preemptive means serving or intended to preempt or forestall something, especially in regard to preventing attack by disabling the enemy. This book is a study of biblical history, giving an account of the abduction of humanity taking place in the Garden of Eden, to its full restoration, "tetelestai," in the finished work of Jesus Christ. It is a contemplative study intended to be intimate and personal, leading into the inexhaustible depths of the unconditional love of God through the single common thread and underlying current in the prophetic heralding and entire ministry of Jesus Christ: FORGIVENESS. The concepts are laid out in simple fashion, targeting the heart as well as the mind, offering insight, and encouraging self-study. The goal for this study is to be engaging and exciting, leading toward the Holy Spirit so he can do what he does best: reveal, comfort, guide, remind, teach, convict, defend, restore, etc. What better way to disable the enemy than to develop the mind and prepare the heart to receive more grace?

Death Wave: The Star Quest Trilogy, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 624min
Six-time Hugo Award-winner Ben Bova chronicles the saga of humankind's expansion beyond the solar system. In Ben Bova's previous novel, New Earth, Jordan Kell led the first human mission beyond the solar system, where they discovered the ruins of an ancient alien civilization. But one alien AI survived, and it revealed to Jordan Kell that an explosion in the black hole at the heart of the Milky Way galaxy has created a wave of deadly radiation, expanding out from the core toward Earth. Unless the human race acts to save itself, all life on Earth will be wiped out. When Kell and his team return to Earth many years after their departure, they find that their world has changed almost beyond recognition. Not only has a second wave of greenhouse flooding caused sea levels to rise, but society has been changed by the consequences of the climate shift. Few people want to face Jordan Kell's news. He must convince Earth's new rulers that the human race is in danger of extinction unless it acts to forestall the death wave coming from the galaxy's heart. ungekürzt. Language: English.

A Delicate Truth , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 630min
A counter-terror operation, codenamed Wildlife, is being mounted in Britain’s most precious colony, Gibraltar. Its purpose: to capture and abduct a high-value jihadist arms-buyer. Its authors: an ambitious Foreign Office Minister, and a private defence contractor who is also his close friend. So delicate is the operation that even the Minister’s Private Secretary, Toby Bell, is not cleared for it. Suspecting a disastrous conspiracy, Toby attempts to forestall it, but is promptly posted overseas. Three years on, summoned by Sir Christopher Probyn, retired British diplomat, to his decaying Cornish manor house, and closely watched by Probyn’s daughter Emily, Toby must choose between his conscience and his duty to the Service. If the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing, how can he keep silent? John le Carre was born in 1931 and attended the universities of Bern and Oxford. He taught at Eton and served briefly in British Intelligence during the Cold War. For the last fifty years he has lived by his pen. He divides his time between London and Cornwall. ungekürzt.

The Counter-Revolution of 1776: Slave Resistance and the Origins of the United States of America , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 749min
The successful 1776 revolt against British rule in North America has been hailed almost universally as a great step forward for humanity. But the Africans then living in the colonies overwhelmingly sided with the British. In this trailblazing book, Gerald Horne shows that in the prelude to 1776, the abolition of slavery seemed all but inevitable in London, delighting Africans as much as it outraged slaveholders, and sparking the colonial revolt. Prior to 1776, anti-slavery sentiments were deepening throughout Britain and in the Caribbean, rebellious Africans were in revolt. For European colonists in America, the major threat to their security was a foreign invasion combined with an insurrection of the enslaved. It was a real and threatening possibility that London would impose abolition throughout the colonies - a possibility the founding fathers feared would bring slave rebellions to their shores. To forestall it, they went to war. The so-called Revolutionary War, Horne writes, was in part a counter-revolution, a conservative movement that the founding fathers fought in order to preserve their right to enslave others. The Counter-Revolution of 1776 brings us to a radical new understanding of the traditional heroic creation myth of the United States. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Larry Herron.

Blind Man's Alley: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 885min
Three construction workers are dead. The concrete floor three hundred feet up in the controversial Aurora Tower condo development in Soho collapsed, hurling them to their deaths. The developer, Roth Properties, the family-owned fiefdom of the famously abrasive Simon Roth, faces a vast tangle of legal problems, including allegations of mob connections and governmental improprieties -- i.e., bribery. The New York Journal has published insinuating articles on the incident that Roth has decided are libelous. The huge midtown law firm of Blake and Rubenstein, Roth's longtime counselors, is assigned the lucrative task of setting things right, and much of the work lands on the plate of a smart, cynical and seasoned associate, Duncan Riley. As a result he falls into the disconcerting orbit of Leah Roth, the beautiful and uber-competent daughter of Simon Roth and the designated inheritor of his real estate empire. Meanwhile, Riley pursues a small (he thinks) pro bono case in which he attempts to forestall an eviction of Rafael Nazario and his grandmother from public housing in the wake of a pot bust. One night Rafael is picked up and charged with the murder of the private security cop who busted him. The murder took place in another controversial "mixed income" housing development being built by . . . Roth Properties. Richard Price and Tom Wolfe, move over. You've got company. ungekürzt.

Will the Nightseer Shar, mistress of the great and fearsome Shadovar, seize the opportunity to blanket the world with her Shadow Weave? With the help of Storm Silverhand and his protégé Amarune, Elminster works frantically to strengthen the Weave's tethers and forestall what seems an inevitable reckoning.

The New Allergy Solution: Supercharge Resistance, Slash Medication, Stop Suffering , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 591min
One of America's top allergy doctors offers a revolutionary, full-body approach to diagnosing, preventing, and treating allergies - in many cases, for good. Millions of Americans currently suffer from allergies, and the rate is growing. Climate change, globalization, air pollution, and oversanitization of the environment in the early years of life are just a few of the causes that, taken together, have introduced new allergens into our environment that are wreaking havoc and causing needless suffering. This "new allergen marketplace" requires a new allergy solution. According to Dr. Clifford W. Bassett, traditional remedies focus on treating symptoms but leave allergy sufferers vulnerable to continued bouts of misery. Dr. Bassett argues that when we consider a person's genetics, environment, and overall health, we can more effectively identify - and take appropriate action to forestall - symptoms before they even begin. For the first time, Dr. Bassett presents the unique integrative approach he's used in his Manhattan offices for two decades to vanquish allergy symptoms for countless individuals. In addition to explaining what allergy is (and isn't) and identifying key triggers - from nuts to gluten to the nickel commonly used in cell phones - Dr. Bassett offers both medical and nonmedical alternatives to treatment and specific proactive steps to protect against common allergens. Allergens are here to stay, but with The New Allergy Solution, your life need no longer be ruled and ruined by allergy. The New Allergy Solution strives to enhance your well-being through strategies for a greater sense of control, giving you more freedom to do what you love. ungekürzt. Language: English.
