    Putin's Gambit: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 696min
    From TV broadcaster Lou Dobbs and award-winning author James O. Born comes Putin's Gambit, an international financial thriller about a KGB plot to use a series of terrorist attacks as cover for a Russian military incursion into Estonia. Adjusting to civilian life has not been easy for former Marine Derek Walsh. As he navigates a brutal job on Wall Street and a challenging romance, he wonders if he could be doing more with his life. When an inexplicable $200 million money transfer is made on his computer, he is thrust into the world of international terror, and the global economy is knocked off its hinges. On the other side of the Atlantic, a dangerous alliance has formed. Radical Islamists and Russian extremists have set the wheels in motion for Russia to assert its power in Europe. The US president has proven to be weak on foreign policy, the military is stretched too thin, and Vladimir Putin judges this to be the time for Russia to regain its Soviet Empire. Troops mass on the Estonian border, waiting for the order to move. The FBI believes Walsh was involved in the money transfer, and a group of Russians are intent on killing him. As New Yorkers are outraged upon learning of the illegal money transfer, and the world economy crashes after a series of terrorist attacks, Walsh and his Marine buddies are the only ones that can keep the world from spinning off its axis. ungekürzt.

    When Everything Is Missions , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 214min
    In an age of deconstruction and rethinking, the Church should not be surprised to find itself confused by words like mission, missions, and missionary. Some struggle to redefine these categories and some seek to reclaim them, while others reject them outright, with or without providing new terms to guide us forward.But words and their meaning matter; our confusion has a cost. Competing priorities pressure us to stretch our mission definitions as wide as they can go, releasing our people to creatively engage in service of every description. Some churches turn away from traditional mission efforts all together, giving preference to local service and evangelism while outsourcing any cross-cultural effort to those who surely must be more effective than we would be.As an unfortunate result of these tendencies, many of our churches lack a coherent, compelling sense of what we're all about as we engage with the world. And if we lose our scriptural moorings, how far will our missions efforts drift?Matthew Ellison and Denny Spitters call us to refocus our gaze on the gospel and the Great Commission. They assert that thinking must come before doing and shape our world mission practices and priorities. When Everything Is Missions is for church and ministry leaders and all who look to clarify their own answers to questions like these: What is the mission of God?What is the mission of the Church?Is every Christian a missionary? ungekürzt.

But his world is disrupted by the arrival of veteran sergeant Daniel Chambers, whose aggressive style threatens to undermine the fragile peace that the troops have worked hard to establish. As Iraq plunges back into chaos and bloodshed and Chambers' influence over the men grows stronger, Jack becomes obsessed with a strange, tragic tale of reckless love between a lost American soldier and Rana, a local sheikh's daughter. In search of the truth and buoyed by the knowledge that what he finds may implicate Sergeant Chambers, Jack seeks answers from the enigmatic Rana, and soon their fates become intertwined. Determined to secure a better future for Rana and a legitimate and lasting peace for her country, Jack will defy American command, putting his own future in grave peril.

    Treason. Considered by kings, queens, and emperors the most hideous crime of all. And as such some of the most vengeful punishments known to man were reserved for those convicted of it. Yet over the course of history, there have been no shortages of men and women who have been convicted or accused of it. Some have willingly committed the act; others were forced into it, and many more were wrongfully convicted by paranoid leaders determined to assert their authority. More often than not, when the charge was made it was as good as a conviction. And then the horrors awaited them. This book tells the story of some of the most infamous traitors in history and the plots tin which hey were involved. It tells of the executions and those who got away completely free of punishment. Richard III--was he a true king or a traitor? What about Henry VIII, the serial killer on the throne who did away with more traitors than anyone thought possible? The nine-day Protestant plot that would have prevented England's greatest monarch from ever claiming the throne. The belly dancing spy who slept her way to the secrets. The biggest British radio star of the war, who just happened to be broadcasting from the wrong country. The teenager who could claim the prize as the most stupid queen in history, and the jobs at a royal court that you simply wouldn't want to touch.

    The Best Service Is No Service: How to Liberate Your Customers from Customer Service, Hörbuch, Digital, 611min
    Here's how to liberate your customers from customer service, keep them happy, and control costs. Most customer-service operations have it wrong. They gauge their effectiveness and productivity based on the number of customer calls or contacts they handle. But do your customers really want a "relationship" with your company's customer service department, or do they simply want to purchase your products or services so they can put them to use? In this groundbreaking audiobook, Bill Price and David Jaffe offer a new, game-changing approach, showing how managers are taking the wrong path and are using the wrong metrics to measure customer service. Customer service, they assert, is only needed when a company does something wrong - eliminating the need for service is the best way to satisfy customers. To be successful, companies need to treat service as a data point of dysfunction and figure what they need to do to eliminate the demand. The Best Service Is No Service outlines seven principles to deliver the best service - which ultimately leads to "no service": Eliminate dumb contacts Create engaging self-service Be proactive Make it easy to contact your company Own the actions across the company Listen and act Deliver great service experiencesWhile self-service and customer relationship management are often tech-heavy and software-driven efforts, Price and Jaffe emphasize that no technology is needed to adopt a "no service" mindset - and any manager who tries to ferret out dysfunctional contacts between customers and companies can create far better, self-correcting systems.

    New Clichés for the 21st Century: Zuckerisms , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 59min
    Look at life from a different perspective: Medical Humor at Its Best! is a book that offers a uniquely entertaining and sagacious view of life. Deep down inside all of us, there exists a tacit beckoning toward 'something' we must accomplish in our lifetimes if we are to consider our lives fulfilled. For me, creative writing has been a conscious, lingering summons - one that now demands expression, as my careers in medicine and business have had their turns. The underlying themes of my being, matured and refined by my explorations and collisions with life, have finally found their voice in this book. From now on, I plan to dedicate the years I have left (which, considering the present insurance charts, could be a helluva long time!) to fulfilling my last need before my own life's book closes. The style of writing I have used in this volume is commonly described as aphoristic. I chose this style to assert what I feel to be truths, in hopes of provoking thought and insight. Since I believe that everything is true and so is the opposite, my intent is to tickle, prod, and encourage you, the listener, to think for yourself. I hope that you will have as good a time listening to the book as I had writing it. Here is a preview of what's inside: The Doctor Is In On Aging On Idiot Savants On Life and Death It's All Relative The Pondering Jew And much, much more! ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Obeying Evil: The Mockingbird Hill Massacre Through the Eyes of a Killer , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 183min
    Obeying Evil presents the shocking true story of Ronald Gene Simmons and the most disturbing family killing spree in the United States. Over the course of a week in 1987, he murdered 14 members of his own family, a former co-worker, and a stranger. In 1979, Simmons retired as an Air Force Master Sergeant following 20 years of service. The instability that followed his military days exacerbated his desire for control over his family. Simmons used intimidation, humiliation, and violence to assert dominance over all but one of his family members. He allowed a softer side to surface for his favorite daughter, Shelia, whom he forced into an incestuous relationship, and eventually fathered her child. His need for total control led to isolation within his family and an inability to hold down a job. His frustration grew to untold levels when Sheila left the family home and married another man. With his plans in ruin and his grip softening, Simmons surprisingly supported his family's desire for a big Christmas celebration. The stage was set for a heartwarming reunion, but he had laid a very different set of plans. Obeying Evil portrays the Mockingbird Hill Massacre from the perspective of Ronald Gene Simmons. It's a shocking true story about dominance, intimidation, and extreme violence. If you are especially sensitive to accounts of the suffering of children, it might be advisable not to listen any further. If, however, you seek to understand the darker side of human nature by coming face to face with it, then this audiobook is written for you. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Steve White.
