Broken Hearts Find a Way: After WWII, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 69min
World War II had brought devastation to both of their lives. They both lost loves they thought they would have forever. Falling in love again was the furthest thing from either one of their minds. And God was the furthest thing from hers. From childhood to adulthood, Clara has suffered so much abuse, neglect, loss, and disappointment. So had Joshua. But his faith in God had never wavered…until now. To receive such a generous gift and not feel worthy of it made it almost unbearable. It made him crazy inside. Only true faith could help. But he turned to the bottle instead. Although he was still a God-fearing man, he just couldn’t understand why he’d been chosen and what he was supposed to do with the gift. It just made no sense to him. He was falling for her…hard. Yet, he didn’t have the strength to be what she needed. Joshua could barely be there for himself. From the moment they met, he had always been a sense of strength for her. That first real date brought them closer.... So many secrets were shared. But there were still more. Now, he needed her to help him heal so he could fulfill his destiny. But, how could she? Clara was broken herself. He needed God. And she just didn’t believe. Yet, she knows nothing and no one else could help this man she felt so drawn to. Would she be there to help steady him? How could she hold him up when she was falling herself? How will they get passed the hurdles and make their way back to God? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Caitlin McCabe.

The Raven's Eye: Book Four , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 178min
It's time for a new amazing series of novelsFrom the mind of Frank Diane, the story could change your new yearHere an extract of the fourth part:The conversation with her mother lasted hours. It went on and on, even after she’d told Lissa her plan - even after they’d argued about it. Lissa had, eventually, conceded when she realized that her daughter’s decision was not going to be wavered. It had broken the woman’s heart, but she did want her daughter to be happy. She knew how torn Antonia had been about the entire situation with Percy, but unlike Verity, Lissa saw a glimmer of hope that the others did not. If the bridge was the link, and the veil dropped a handful of times per year, she knew she would be able to see her daughter again. She could only be thankful for that. It was simply moving away a long distance, without the ability to call; it wasn’t death. Even after their official goodbyes, the conversation carried on for a few hours; the two of them worked out whatever still existed between them. They wanted to end on a happy note, not one of regret. But it was difficult; it was heartbreaking. But, it was for the best. By the time Antonia finally ended the call with her mother, it was late afternoon, and her heart was shattered for now. She would call Lilia; she promised her mother that she would. But, that phone call would have to wait a few hours. Antonia needed to rejuvenate after the last goodbye. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Legends of the Middle Ages: The History and Legacy of the Knights Templar , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 55min
A lot of ink has been spilled covering the lives of history's most influential figures, but how much of the forest is lost for the trees? In Charles River Editors' Legends of the Middle Ages series, readers can get caught up to speed on the lives of the most important medieval men and women in the time it takes to finish a commute, while learning interesting facts long forgotten or never known. The Order of the Temple of Solomon, also known as the Templars or the Knights Templar, is one of the best-known and least-understood groups in history. They appear prominently in everything from novels (The Da Vinci Code) to films (as the Knights of the Cruciform Sword in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade) to videogames (Assassin's Creed). In these stories, they are a sinister cult that manipulated historical events since the Middle Ages, via intimidation and assassination. They are usually connected to the Freemasons and, sometimes, to other historical cults like the Hindu Thuggees. The real Templars were both more mundane and more fascinating than the myths and legends. They were the first military religious order - monks who were also knights. The founding members were veterans of the First Crusade in Palestine and their main goal was, in fact, benign. They formed their group as a small tertiary order (Lay people who took monastic vows, but lived in the larger community) in Jerusalem, policing the pilgrim routes and shrines of the Levant and protecting travelers from the many bandits that infested the area. Even though they were used as the core of Crusader armies during the later crusades, the Templars never wavered from their original goal. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Scott Clem.

Extreme Measures: A Thriller , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 729min
Mitch Rapp and his protege, Mike Nash, may have met their match. The CIA has detected and intercepted two terrorist cells, but a third is feared to be on the loose. Led by a dangerous mastermind obsessed with becoming the leader of al-Qaeda, this determined and terrifying group is about to descend on America. Rapp needs the best on this assignment, and Nash, who has served his government honorably for 16 years first as an officer in the Marine Corps and then as an operative in an elite counterterrorism team run by Rapp is his choice. Together, they have made careers out of meeting violence with extreme violence and have never wavered in the fight against the jihadists and their culture of death. Both have fought the war on terrorism in secret without accolades or acknowledgment of their personal sacrifices. Both have been forced to lie to virtually every single person they care about, and both have soldiered on with the knowledge that their hard work and lethal tactics have saved thousands of lives. But the political winds have changed in America, and certain leaders on Capitol Hill are pushing to have men like Rapp and Nash put back on a short leash. And then one spring afternoon in Washington, DC, everything changes. Using his insider knowledge of intelligence agencies and the military, Flynn once again delivers an all-too-real portrayal of a war that is that is waged every day by a handful of brave, devoted souls. Smart, fast-paced, and jaw-droppingly realistic, Extreme Measures is the political thriller of our time. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: George Guidall.

Through My Father's Eyes , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 641min
USA Today best seller list. Many have written about Billy Graham, the evangelist. This is the first book about Billy Graham, the father, written from the perspective of a son who knew him best. As a beloved evangelist and a respected man of God, Billy Graham’s stated purpose in life never wavered: to help people find a personal relationship with God through a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. This was a calling that only increased over time, and Billy embraced it fully throughout his active ministry and beyond. Yet Billy pursued his life’s work, as many men do, amid a similarly significant calling to be a loving husband and father. While most people knew Billy Graham as America’s pastor, Franklin Graham knew him in a different way, as a dad. And while present and future generations will come to their own conclusions about Billy Graham and the legacy that his commitment to Christ has left behind, no one can speak more insightfully or authoritatively on that subject than a son who grew up in the shadow of his father’s life and the examples of his father’s love. This vulnerable audiobook is a look at both Billy Graham the evangelist and Billy Graham the father, and the impact he had on a son who walked in his father’s steps while also becoming his own man, leading ministries around the world, all of it based on the foundational lessons his father taught him. “My father left behind a testimony to God,” says Franklin, “a legacy not buried in a grave but still pointing people to a heaven-bound destiny. The Lord will say to my father, and to all who served Him obediently, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant’ [Matthew 25:21].” ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Matt Baugher, Franklin Graham.

Three Dreamers: A Memoir of Family
"As nourishing as a three-course Italian feast, this is a fierce, moving tribute to the ties that bind."-People (Book of the Week) The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Sleepers offers a heartfelt homage to the women who taught him courage, kindness, and the power of storytelling: his mother, his grandmother, and his late wife. Standing with his children near his grandmother's grave on a recent trip to Ischia, an island off the coast of Naples, Lorenzo Carcaterra realized how much of his life has been shaped by the women who taught him how to look for joy and overcome sorrow. This book is his tribute to them. Nonna Maria, his grandmother, gave him his first taste of a loving home during the summers he spent with her as a teenager on Ischia. With her kindness, her humor, and the same formidable strength she employed to make secret trips for food when the Nazis occupied Ischia during World War II, she instilled in him the importance of community, providing shelter for a boy whose home life was difficult. His mother, Raffaela, dealt with daily hardships: a loveless and abusive marriage, the burden of debt, and a life of dread. Though the lessons she taught were harsh, they would drive Lorenzo from the world they shared to the better one she always prayed he would find. The third woman is his wife, Susan, a gifted editor and his professional champion. Their marriage lasted three decades before her death from lung cancer in 2013. While their upbringings were wildly different, their love and friendship never wavered-and neither did her faith in Lorenzo's talent and potential as a writer.- Shop: buecher

Lilah, Hörbuch, Digital, 371min
Set in the magnificent culture of the Middle East more than 4,000 years ago, Lilah is a rich and emotionally resonant story of faith, love, and courage. Living in exile, Lilah is in love with Antinoes, a Persian warrior. They have known each other since they were children, and Antinoes dearly wants to make Lilah his wife. Yet Lilah does not feel she can marry without the blessing of her brother, Ezra. She and Ezra are close, and Lilah knows her brother well; he does not want his sister to have a husband outside their faith. Ezra is a scholar of the laws of Moses, and Lilah believes it is her brother's destiny to lead the Jewish people back to the Promised Land. While Antinoes pressures her to accept his proposal, Lilah realizes that before she can consider her own happiness, it is her duty to help her brother accomplish the seemingly impossible task that is before him. Putting herself in grave danger, and with the help of Antinoes, Lilah wins Ezra an audience with Artaxerxes II, the King of Kings, who grants permission to lead the exiles on their journey back to the Promised Land. After a hazardous trip across the desert, Lilah, Ezra, and the thousands who join them arrive in Jerusalem. But the hardship of rebuilding the Temple takes its toll, and the religious enthusiasm of some turns to extremism. Ezra, listening to the zealots, orders all non-Jewish wives and their children banished from Jerusalem. Lilah, whose love for Antinoes has never wavered, is horrified by this command. She knows she must now choose between her brother and her conscience, which tells her that the time has come to defy him. Lilah is a timeless story of one woman's stand against intolerance; it will linger in the reader's mind long after the last page has been turned. Language: English. Narrator: Ellen Reilly.

Nujeen: One Girl's Incredible Journey from War-Torn Syria in a Wheelchair , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 402min
Prize-winning journalist and the coauthor of smash New York Times best seller I Am Malala, Christina Lamb now tells the inspiring true story of another remarkable young hero: Nujeen Mustafa, a teenager born with cerebral palsy whose harrowing journey from war-ravaged Syria to Germany in a wheelchair is a breathtaking tale of fortitude, grit, and hope that lends a face to the greatest humanitarian issue of our time: the Syrian refugee crisis. For millions around the globe, 16-year-old Nujeen Mustafa embodies the best of the human spirit. Confined to a wheelchair because of her cerebral palsy and denied formal schooling in Syria because of her illness, Nujeen taught herself English by watching American soap operas. When her small town became the epicenter of the brutal fight between ISIS militants and US-backed Kurdish troops in 2014, she and her family were forced to flee. Despite her physical limitations, Nujeen embarked on the arduous trek to safety and a new life. The grueling 16-month odyssey by foot, boat, and bus took her across Turkey and the Mediterranean to Greece, through Macedonia to Serbia and Hungary, and finally to Germany. Yet in spite of the tremendous physical hardship she endured, Nujeen's extraordinary optimism never wavered. Refusing to give in to despair or see herself as a passive victim, she kept her head high. As she told a BBC reporter, "You should fight to get what you want in this world." Nujeen's positivity and resolve infuses this unforgettable story of one young woman determined to make a better life for herself. Told by acclaimed British foreign correspondent Christina Lamb, Nujeen is a unique and powerful memoir that gives voice to the Syrian refugee crisis, helping us to understand that the world must change - and offering the inspiration to make that change reality. ungekürzt.

The Bluffer's Guide® to the Quantum Universe , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 118min
Be an instant expert on the quantum universe and Bluff Your Way in the subject with everyone you know. No science required, just a sense of humour. From 'gluons' to 'gravitons', and from 'certainty' to 'superstrings', here's all you need to know to sound all-knowing. Extracts from the book: Quantus The study of subatomic particles is called quantum mechanics. This is strange because the word 'quantum' is derived from the Latin noun 'quantus' meaning 'how much'. In this case, not a lot. And it can be seen within a nanosecond that it is entirely alien to this subject to talk of anything 'mechanical', 'mechanistic' or 'machine-like'. Quantomime Einstein, whose work with light and electrons had opened the curtains on the whole quantomime, wavered between calling quantum mechanics 'incomplete' and declaring its ideas to be 'the system of delusions of an exceedingly intelligent paranoiac, concocted of incoherent elements of thought'. Quantity All matter can be broken down into atoms. Atoms are small. They are smaller than affordable apartments in Manhattan, they are smaller than portions at the Ritz, they are even smaller than the chance that a politician will be honest. The full stop at the end of this sentence will be a tiny blob of ink about a millimetre wide which will contain close to four billion atoms. Quantifiably Never commit yourself about the outer limits of the Universe or the quantum realm even to a 'probably'. Anything you utter with certainty, or declare to be 'probably true' could return to haunt you and, it can be said with confidence, probably will. If you know what's good for you, a 'possibly' is the farthest you will go.
