    Monk Habits for Everyday People: Benedictine Spirituality for Protestants , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 247min
    In their zeal for reform, early Protestant leaders tended to throw out Saint Benedict with the holy water. That is a mistake, writes Dennis Okholm, in Monk Habits for Everyday People. While on retreat in a Benedictine abbey, the author, a professor who was raised as a Pentecostal and a Baptist, observed how the meditative and ordered life of a monk lifted Jesus' teachings off the printed page and put them into daily practice. Vital aspects of devotion, humility, obedience, hospitality, and evangelism took on new clarity and meaning. Paralleling that experience, Okholm guides the reader on a focused and instructive journey that can revitalize the devotional life of any Christian who wants to slow down and dig deeper. ungekürzt.

    The Nick Adams Stories , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 430min
    These classic stories feature one of Hemingway's most famous characters. "Of the place where he had been a boy he had written well enough. As well as he could then." So thought a dying writer in an early version of The Snows of Kilimanjaro. The writer was, of course, Ernest Hemingway. The place was the Michigan of his boyhood summers, where he remembered himself as Nick Adams. The now-famous "Nick Adams" stories show a memorable character growing from child to adolescent to soldier, veteran, writer, and parent - a sequence closely paralleling the events of Hemingway's life. In this arrangement, Nick Adams emerges clearly as the first in a long line of Hemingway's fictional selves. Later versions were all to have behind them part of Nick's history and, correspondingly, part of Hemingway's. This is a must-have for fans of the iconic author. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Islands of Space , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 436min
    As Earth's faster-than-light spaceship hung in the void between galaxies, Arcot, Wade, Morey, and Fuller could see below them, like a vast shining horizon, the mass of stars that formed their own island universe. Morey worked a moment with his slide rule, then said, "We made good time! Twenty-nine light years in ten seconds! Yet you had it on at only half power...." Arcot pushed the control lever all the way to full power. The ship filled with the strain of flowing energy, and sparks snapped in the air of the control room as they raced at an inconceivable speed through the darkness of intergalactic space. But suddenly, far off to their left and far to their right, they saw two shining ships paralleling their course! They held grimly to the course of the Earth ship, bracketing it like an official guard. The Earth scientists stared at them in wonder. "Lord," muttered Morey, "where can they have come from?" ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Oliver Wyman. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/adbl/001932/bk_adbl_001932_sample.mp3.

    Luxor: Book of Past Lives , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 531min
    Set against the rich tapestry of ancient Egypt, Luxor: Book of Past Lives is the story of Nebamun and Iramen, two brothers who are embalmers in Egypt during the era of the boy king, Tutankhamun. It is their duty to prepare the many bodies of the dead who land on their embalming table for a journey into the afterlife. Paralleling this ancient tale is the story of two different brothers, Abdul and Karim, who make their living by robbing the ancient tombs of Egypt in the late 1800s, when the theft and sale of artifacts was at its peak. Woven throughout the novel are the mysterious intersections of the brothers' lives, though separated by thousands of years. Luxor: Book of Past Lives is a masterful blend of fiction and historical detail, each chapter offering a window into the past, with details gleaned from countless historical accounts. It is a riveting tale of violence and greed, riches and poverty, and good and evil in the time of the pharaohs and beyond. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Barry Shannon.

    Moscow Dreams , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 313min
    Life is always changing, flowing like sand through the fingers. A peaceful summer morning in Moscow is invaded by a column of tanks rumbling down a quiet tree-lined street. People are protesting in the streets, independent news outlets are being silenced, and Mikhail Gorbachev is declared unfit to run the country. His whereabouts are unknown. It is August 19, 1991, and the communist hardliners are attempting a coup with plans of eliminating Mikhail Gorbachev and turning back his democratic reforms. "What will happen if they win?" asks Marina, the teenage protagonist. "It will be Stalin's regime all over again." A chilling prediction indeed. Moscow Dreams is both a coming of age novel and historical fiction, with changes in the former USSR paralleling changes in the lives of the young protagonists. After the coup, Marina and her friends are thrust into drastic social, political, and economic changes. Security is replaced by questions and doubts, and the only thing that is constant is the feeling of uncertainty and the impermanence of life. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gary Roelofs.

    Men Who Love Fierce Women: The Power of Servant Leadership in Your Marriage , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 439min
    Voted the number one Focus on the Family program for 2015, Kimberly and LeRoy Wagner's interview on Fierce Women evoked an incredible response. Requests poured in for a companion book geared directly to men, one that would help men who struggle with loving and leading strong wives. Men Who Love Fierce Women is that book. Paralleling the content and chapters of Fierce Women, but featuring LeRoy's perspective and Kim's insider insights, it equips men to better understand, love, and relate to their strong wives. Each chapter closes with a study section of diagnostic questions and Scripture to apply the content practically and personally. "Five years into 'wedded bliss,' I confessed to Kim that I no longer loved her," writes LeRoy. "We were stuck in a destructive relationship pattern that we now refer to as the 'fierce woman/fearful man' cycle, and I had lost all hope for a peaceful marriage. We've discovered that this is a common relationship dynamic, and we want to encourage and equip husbands and show them a promising way forward." Men Who Love Fierce Women is flexibly designed to stand alone, pair with Fierce Women, or facilitate a group study. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Al Kessel.

When, night after late night, mysterious phone calls take Clement from their home, a pregnant Hedie finds comfort in Annie's leather-bound journals. But as she reads of the sinister dealings and horrendous misunderstandings that spelled out tragedy for the rescued bride, Hedie fears that her own life is paralleling Annie's, and that history is repeating itself with Jacques' kin.Among the family's papers, Hedie encounters three other strong-willed women who helped shape Jacques Ducharme's life.

    Looking for Lady Dee: A Punk Rock Mystery , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 295min
    Looking for Lady Dee is a one-of-a-kind story paralleling the career of a second-wave punk band (Thrills) with the disappearance of one of its fans. The story of the late 70s, early 80s popular music scene is the backdrop. Author Johnny Angel Wendell tells all with pinpoint accuracy and wicked detail. Lurid, vivid, and relentless in its descriptions of rock music's unholy triumvirate (sex, drugs, and the music itself) from an author who lived it and survived, and his cohorts, many of whom did not. The author recounts, as the 23-year-old Johnny Angel, his history in the movement as a sullen, surly squirt leaning very much on negative charisma and impulsive street smarts to get ahead in the demi-monde of Punk/New Wave. And the disappearance of his love, a very good girl gone very bad, Ms. Dee McClain. As the 50-something Johnny Angel Wendell, he's contacted online by Ms. McClain's best friend from the same music scene, Linda "Vivienne DeMilo" Boudreaux, and together they piece together Dee's story through hard work and a bit of old fashioned chicanery. What happened to their mutual friend leads them to places they never dreamed existed - and in many ways, they thought they'd seen it all! Inspired by writers like Raymond Chandler, Lester Bangs, Bukowski and Dennis Lehane, Looking for Lady Dee is not another middle-aged lookback at a wasted youth, but a hard-nosed twisting and turning tome of discovery and resolution. ungekürzt.
