Relentless Pursuit: God's Love of Outsiders Including the Outsider in All of Us , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 230min
The marginalized and the ostracized; the sinner and the loner; you, me...and Jesus. We're all outsiders sometimes. Each of us has felt lonely in a crowd, or been passed over for a job opportunity, or been squeezed out by "friends". We've all spent time on the outside looking in. But take heart - Jesus will leave the 99 just for you. Best-selling author Ken Gire weaves together stories from the Bible, history, and his own life to create a soul-lifting picture of a God who relentlessly pursues the outcast and disenfranchised - a God who became an outcast himself to bring his lost ones home. Let your eyes be opened to the one who will never fail to find you and embrace you as his child. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bill DeWees.

Hunter of Stories , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 250min
The internationally acclaimed last work by the legendary Latin American writer Master storyteller Eduardo Galeano was unique among his contemporaries (Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Mario Vargas Llosa among them) for his commitment to retelling our many histories, including the stories of those who were disenfranchised. A philosopher poet, his nonfiction is infused with such passion and imagination that it matches the intensity and the appeal of Latin America's very best fiction. Comprising all new material, published here for the first time in a wonderful English translation by longtime collaborator Mark Fried, Hunter of Stories is a deeply considered collection of Galeano's final musings and stories on history, memory, humor, and tragedy. Written in his signature style - vignettes that fluidly combine dialogue, fables, and anecdotes - every minute displays the original thinking and compassion that has earned Galeano decades and continents of renown. ungekürzt.

Luke's Story , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 754min
Millions of readers made the Left Behind series best-sellers. Now, the third in the authors' best-selling Jesus Chronicles is available in audiobook. This biblically inspired novel, third in the best-selling Jesus Chronicles, tells the story of Luke - the Gospel writer whose belief was built on the power of faith alone. Luke, who hadn't met Jesus, is skeptical of his miracles until events in his own life irreversibly change him. Pledging himself to Christ, he begins a Gospel based on the conversion stories of believers and interviews with those who knew him best - the disciples who spent three years with Jesus and, most important, his mother, Mary. The result would be a Scripture rich in the miraculous stories of the Lord's divinity, intended to appeal to women, nonbelievers, and the disenfranchised - and that would speak to the heart of Christians all over the world. ungekürzt.

Unwritten Rules: Genesis Online, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 517min
Kevin was a young man enjoying his college life when a car jumped the curb and crippled his body. Unable to support himself and dependent on others to meet his needs, Kevin was slipping into depression when his best friend convinced him to play a new game called Genesis Online. The concept was simple: a revolutionary artificial intelligence controlled the game world and adapted it to the actions of the players. Even the developers didn't know what course the game could take as it evolved. Lured into the game by the prospect of earning real money, Kevin soon runs afoul of a man determined to control as much of Genesis as possible. He recruits other disenfranchised players to his side in his quest to find a way to prosper in the game. Can they stop the man who calls himself the king of Genesis from taking over everything? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Michael Goldstrom.

Carrots & Apples , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 328min
Trench is a self-educated New York City Central Park Carriage Coachman, whose twin son and daughter feed “Mr. Bo Jangles” slices of “Carrots and Apples". Through unusual interactions, Trench’s relationships with characters from the social elite to the oddest of city denizen; to include a successful businesswoman, emotionally challenged war veteran, rollerblade delivery man and librarian, coincide as he takes a journey amid love, injustice, tragedy, and recovery.Carrots & Apples reflects the effects of contemporary controversial social norms in a uniquely beautiful poetic style of writing, of imagery and substance, yet synchronously uses raw dialog that exposes the harsh realities of society. While the story encompasses a variety of social attitudes toward dating, romance, friendships, and parenting; the underlying thread that drives the story is the struggle of upright, disenfranchised men and children within a bias, corrupt, custodial legal system, and an indifferent public. ungekürzt.

Renegade Redhead : Alien Alliance, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 258min
Sasha Kelty joins the Intergalactic Guard to get into space where she’s always wanted to be. Her off-the-charts military testing gets her placed on an experimental ship bound for the outer reaches of known space. Once in the void, her willingness to question authority, uninhibited behavior, love of ancient ‘rock and roll’ music, and absolute sense of right and wrong, put her in disfavor with the ship’s crew. After rescuing an enormous alien war-dog, then blowing an alien slaver camp sky-high with her own brand of energy magic, Sasha is considered a freak of nature and disavowed. Set adrift in space, she collects a family of like-wise disenfranchised, yet talented, aliens and sets out to command her own future, ship, company, and planet. Nothing will stop this renegade redhead once she’s on a roll. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: H. A. Erwin. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/229272/bk_acx0_229272_sample.mp3.
