    The Mercy Seat , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 385min
    As the sun begins to set over Louisiana one October day in 1943, a young black man faces the final hours of his life: at midnight, 18-year-old Willie Jones will be executed by electric chair for raping a white girl - a crime some believe he did not commit.  In a tale taut with tension, events unfold hour by hour from the perspectives of nine people involved. They include Willie himself, who knows what really happened, and his father, desperately trying to reach the town jail to see his son one last time; the prosecuting lawyer, haunted by being forced to seek the death penalty against his convictions, and his wife, who believes Willie to be innocent; the priest who has become a friend to Willie; and a mother whose only son is fighting in the Pacific, bent on befriending her black neighbours in defiance of her husband.  In this exceptionally powerful novel, Elizabeth Winthrop explores matters of justice, racism and the death penalty in a fresh, subtle and profoundly affecting way. Her kaleidoscopic narrative allows us to inhabit the lives of her characters and see them for what they are - complex individuals making fateful choices we might not condone but can understand. ungekürzt.

    Generous Justice: How God's Grace Makes Us Just , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 282min
    It is commonly thought in secular society that the Bible is one of the greatest hindrances to doing justice. Isn't it full of regressive views? Didn't it condone slavery? Why look to the Bible for guidance on how to have a more just society? But Timothy Keller, pastor of New York City's Redeemer Presbyterian Church, sees it another way. In Generous Justice, Keller explores a life of justice empowered by an experience of grace: a generous, gracious justice. Here is an audiobook for believers who find the Bible a trustworthy guide, as well as those who suspect that Christianity is a regressive influence in the world. Keller's church, founded in the 80s with fewer than 100 congregants, is now exponentially larger. Over 5,000 people regularly attend Sunday services, and another 25,000 download Keller's sermons each week. A recent profile in New York Magazine described his typical sermon as 'a mix of biblical scholarship, pop culture, and whatever might have caught his eye in The New York Review of Books or on Salon.com that week.' In short, Timothy Keller speaks a language that many thousands of people understand. In Generous Justice, he offers them a new understanding of modern justice and human rights. ungekürzt.

    To the Best of Our Knowledge: Reality, Hörbuch, Digital, 52min
    In this hour, Jonathan Lethem's new novel is Chronic City. The book has been described as a cross between the famous borough-centric New Yorker cartoon and the darkest episode of Seinfeld. Lethem reads a bit and talks aout the book with Jim Fleming. Then, Chuck Klosterman is the author of several books focusing on pop culture. The latest is a collection of essays called Eating the Dinosaur. In the final essay, called "Fail," Klosterman examines the thinking behind the so-called "Unabomber Manifesto." He tells Steve Paulson that while he doesn't condone Ted Kaczynski's murders, he thinks there are some interesting ideas in his writing. Next, V. Vale has published four books by J.G. Ballard through his independent publishing house, RE/Search Publications. Ballard is considered a science fiction writer, but described his fiction as "picturing the psychology of the future." Vale talks with Steve Paulson about the prophetic powers of J.G. Ballard. And we hear a bit from a CBC Radio dramatization of a Ballard short story from their "Vanishing Point" series.Finally, Brent Silby teaches philosophy in Christchurch, New Zealand and is the author of an article in Philosophy Now magazine called "The Simulated Universe." He talks with Anne Strainchamps about the argument it makes. [Broadcast Date: January 15, 2010] Language: English. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/rt/tbon/100115/rt_tbon_100115_sample.mp3.

    List of 10: The True Story of Serial Killer Joseph Naso , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 484min
    A narcissistic professional photographer lived a dangerous double life as a serial killer. He'd focus his rage on prostitutes, mostly. It wasn't uncommon for him to bring them home then try to explain why they were there to his wife. Sexual urges met, either via rape or after paying for kinky sex, the killer would strangle his victims and dump their bodies in places he knew the police would eventually find them. The evil murderer needed the world to know that he was smarter than the police and women meant nothing to him but a necessary sexual inconvenience. Then, by a stroke of chance and aggressive police work, the wheels of justice stumbled upon a lead. It was nothing more than a lined sheet of paper that read, "List of 10," but shortly after its discovery, a task force was created and a serial killer was nabbed. This book is about the victims he left behind, not the person who took their lives. I will never condone such actions, nor will I try to rationalize his behavior. He will go to the grave, hopefully sooner rather than later, knowing the identity of four women from his fabled List of 10. It's his sick way of showing people he's still in charge. His name is Joseph Naso, and this book will grip you from the beginning and won't let you go until the final word. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Don Kline.

    Bible People like Me , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 185min
    Often, as people read the Bible, they come under the conviction that God wants them to change their ways. Or perhaps He wants to encourage them with the example of one of His fearful but obedient children. Or warn them of impending disaster if they persist in behavior He does not condone. Why do Bible people affect them this way? Because they are not legendary giants or superheroes; they are ordinary people. What would you do if you were a young girl suddenly confronted by an angel with the most incredible mission imaginable, or a great king who had succumbed to temptation and now still had to go on? Jamie Buckingham explores the lives of 10 of the best-known people in the Bible and finds out just how much they are like you and me. With a rare ability to bring characters to life, the author takes a fresh look at Deborah and Mary, David and Abraham, Elijah, John the Baptist, Gideon, Joshua, John Mark and Simon Peter at crisis points in their lives. And he discovers four common themes: (1) All God wants is someone who will obey; (2) God is not impressed by the things that impress us; (3) God has His own reasons for whom He chooses; and (4) God chooses people with the same problems and temptations, the same hurts and loves, as we have. ungekürzt.

    James Patterson Still Can't Beat Detective Frank Jones : James Patterson Can't Beat Detective Frank Jones, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 121min
    Detective Frank Jones begins with an unsolved murder of another young college student. He is informed by DHS (Department of Hit Security) and other Fed agencies that he is off the case. They are handling the murder investigation. The next day, Jamal McBrown, a 22-year-old African American male is found hanging above the Confederate Museum in Charleston. Jones and his new partner Mary Parker hit pay dirt during their interview of their first suspect, Vito Corlean, Sicilian Energy entrepreneur and billionaire. In a twist of bitter irony, Vito's daughter Melanie was dating Jamal despite her father’s condemnations, or did he condone the interracial union between the two? Yet, Frank now faces new enemies, including his new partner Mary Parker. Mary is 33 years old and juggles raising her son Nate and chasing bad guys. In lieu of Frank chemical imbalances, Mary goes through her own transformation, as she embraces a new alternative lifestyle of lesbianism. As Frank learns, Vito’s reach is like the Ravenel Bridge over the Cooper. Travel with Frank as he attempts to save his life by ending it; takes on a new identity in Palermo, Sicily, to infiltrate Vito’s family roots; and learns his wife is a lesbian as well. Set in Charleston, SC, and Palermo, Sicily, it is a travail of a detective most mortals would not survive.Thank you especially to Japan. The last book was number six under lesbian/gay fictional genre. I hope France, India, Canada, Brazil, Germany, and all over will embrace a new unconvetional Detective Frank Jones.
