    Wild Soil , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 86min
    Part prayer collection, part anthropological treatise, the poetry of Wild Soil describes and analyzes the often contradictory motivations for human emotions and behavior.  In these verses, comprised of several years worth of selected material from various stages of his life, author Frank R. Chappell explores the follies of melancholic youthfulness, exuberant love, energetic faith, complete nihilism, profane tirades, and sacred contemplation.  This collection presents a narrative of the individual's navigation through reality as a fretful sojourn of introspection that yields beautiful fruit. It celebrates the unseen victory in everyday failures, the human imperative to create meaning in all things, and the ability to stumble upon the permeating feeling of interconnectedness in our struggle for purpose. Taking an anthropological approach, this collection of poetry offers a raw and unusual consideration of humanity's paradoxes and contradictions. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ron Lang.

    A Doubter's Guide to Jesus , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 433min
    A Doubter's Guide to Jesus is an introduction to the major portraits of Jesus found in the earliest historical sources. Portraits because our best information points not to a tidy, monolithic Jesus, but to a complex, multi-layered and, at times, contradictory figure. While some might be troubled by this, fearing that plurality equals incomprehensibility or unreliability, others take it as an invitation to do some rearranging for themselves, trying to make Jesus neater, more systematic and digestible. After two millennia of spiritual devotion and more than two centuries of modern critical research, we still cannot fit Jesus into a box. He is destined to stretch our imaginations, confront our beliefs, and challenge our lifestyles for many years to come. In A Doubter's Guide to Jesus listeners will find themselves both disturbed and intrigued by the images of Jesus found in the first sources. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Van Tracy.

On one hand, he was a hot spark who could often fly off the handle and say and do things that were injurious to himself and others. On the other hand, he was a gifted orator whose capacity to inspire his troops was second to none. Reconciling those elements of his being can sometimes be a tricky proposition.Chapters include:Born to Be a SoldierForeign WarsBetween the WarsWorld War II BeginsHard Fighting AheadNormandyNormandyThe Battle of the BulgeGermanyAfter the FightingLegacyAnd much more!What makes Patton a controversial figure, and who was he, really?

    The Ghost Writer: The Nathan Zuckerman Series, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 271min
    The Ghost Writer introduces Nathan Zuckerman in the 1950s, a budding writer infatuated with the great books, discovering the contradictory claims of literature and experience while an overnight guest in the secluded New England farmhouse of his idol, E. I. Lonoff. At Lonoff's, Zuckerman meets Amy Bellette, a haunting young woman of indeterminate foreign background who turns out to be a former student of Lonoff's and who may also have been his mistress. Zuckerman, with his active, youthful imagination, wonders if she could be the paradigmatic victim of Nazi persecution. If she were, it might change his life. The first volume in the Zuckerman Bound trilogy and epilogue, The Ghost Writer is about the tensions between literature and life, artistic truthfulness and conventional decency - and about those implacable practitioners who live with the consequences of sacrificing one for the other. ungekürzt.

    Passionate Sage: The Character and Legacy of John Adams , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 516min
    John Adams, one of the Founding Fathers of our nation and its second president, spent nearly the last third of his life in retirement, grappling with contradictory views of his place in history and fearing his reputation would not fare well in the generations after his death. And indeed, future generations did slight him, elevating Jefferson and Madison to lofty heights while Adams remained way back in the second tier. Now, in a witty, clear, and thoughtful narrative of Adams's later life at his home in Quincy, Joseph Ellis explores the mind and personality of the man, as well as the earlier events that shaped his thinking. Listeners will discover Adams to be both contentious and lovable, generous and petty, and perhaps the most intellectually profound of the revolutionary generation, whose perspective on America's prospects has relevance for us today. ungekürzt.

    O Pioneers! , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 359min
    The history of every country begins in the heart of a man or a woman, writes Willa Cather in O Pioneers! The country is America; the woman is Alexandra Bergson, a fiercely independent young Swedish immigrant girl who inherits her father's farm in Nebraska. A model of emotional strength, courage, and resolve, Alexandra fights long and hard to transform her father's patch of raw, wind-blasted prairie into a highly profitable business. A gripping saga of love, murder, greed, failure, and triumph, O Pioneers! vividly portrays the hardships of prairie life. Above all, it champions the belief that hard work is the surest road to personal fulfillment. Described upon publication in the New York Times as "American in the best sense of the word," O Pioneers! celebrates the men and women who struggled to build a nation that is both compelling and contradictory. ungekürzt.

    Holy Gospels in One, Hörbuch, Digital, 415min
    Holy Gospels in One (GIO) is a "Word for Word" narrative of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John combined into a single chronological account from 5 B.C. to 31 A.D. The objective is to help provide a contextual flow of events and to dispel cries of error or "so-called" contradictory Gospel passages, such as the demon-possessed men/man at Gadarenes/Gergesene, the blind man/men that Jesus healed at Jericho, the fig tree that Jesus cursed shrivelled up the same day/following day, and Mary the Magdalene's appearance with/without the other women at the Tomb, and others. Also the power of this narrative is that while most harmony narratives reinterpret Gospel events based on doctrinal bias, GIO doesn't. GIO is a direct analytical translation from the Greek Received Text enabling the ability to cross reference every word, all leading to a dynamic and enriched Bible study experience.
