The Strangeness of Truth: Vibrant Faith in a Dark World , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 277min
It is the business of the artist to uncover the strangeness of truth. (Flannery O Connor)Our lives are filled with questions, and our world is filled with answers: in the cloud, online, and in libraries of books. But the answers to the most important questions are rarely straightforward. In fact, sometimes, the truth is downright strange. But somehow, even in its strangeness, truth reveals a clarity that calls forth a response from the depths of one’s being. If you allow yourself to be open to the strangeness of truth, it can change your life.In an age of loneliness and distraction, it can be easy to forget God's presence in our daily lives - until we are confronted with everyday miracles like birth, death, or marriage. In his new book, The Strangeness of Truth, Fr. Damian Ference meditates on the way that eternal mysteries such as the incarnation, resurrection, and the eucharist make themselves felt in the everyday, using scenes from his own life to illustrate and animate doctrine.Plenty of elaborate theological treatises have been written on the subjects that he addresses, but his tone is conversational and direct. His insights are designed to awaken and remind his listeners of the radical truths that surround them - that God holds our world in existence, that he became a man, and that he sacrificed himself for us. Fr. Ference's writing is filled with wonder, reverence, and a keen observational sense, using concrete examples and crystal-clear observations to illuminate realities often spoken of as murky or abstract. The Strangeness of Truth will spark a renewed love and appreciation for the doctrines God has revealed, and help you see them with fresh eyes; not as they could be, but how they really are - beautiful, strange, and timeless. ungekürzt.

Daybook: The Journey of an Artist , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 487min
A classic work for artists of all kinds, about reconciling the call of creative work with the demands of daily life and narrated by Anne Truitt herself. Renowned American artist Anne Truitt kept this illuminating and inspiring journal over a period of seven years, determined to come to terms with the forces that shaped her art and life. Within its beautifully written pages, you will come to know a woman whose range of sensitivity - moral, intellectual, sensual, emotional, and spiritual - is remarkably broad. She recalls her childhood on the eastern shore of Maryland, her career change from psychology to art, and her path to making sculptures so finely painted that they would "set color free in three dimensions." She reflects on the generous advice of other artists, watches her own daughter's journey into motherhood, meditates on criticism and solitude, and struggles to express her vision. Resonant and true, encouraging and revelatory, Anne Truitt guides herself - and us - through a life in which domestic activities and the needs of children and friends are constantly juxtaposed against the world of color and abstract geometry to which she is drawn in her art. A rare window on the workings of a creative mind, Daybook showcases and extraordinary artists whose insights generously and succinctly illuminate the artist process. Anne Truitt [1921-2004] had her first solo exhibition at the André Emmerich Gallery in New York in 1963. Her work is in the collections of major museums around the world, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Whitney Museum of American Art; the National Gallery of Art, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, and the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, DC. The recipient of many grants, she was the director of the artists' colony Yaddo for several years in the early 1990s. Today the Estate of Anne Truitt is represented by Matthew Marks Gallery. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Anne Truitt.

Man Seeks God: My Flirtations with the Divine , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 742min
Best-selling author of Geography of Bliss returns with this funny, illuminating chronicle of a globe-spanning spiritual quest to find a faith that fits. When a health scare puts him in the hospital, Eric Weiner - an agnostic by default - finds himself tangling with an unexpected question, posed to him by a well-meaning nurse. "Have you found your God yet?" The thought of it nags him, and prods him - and ultimately launches him on a far-flung journey to do just that. Weiner, a longtime "spiritual voyeur" and inveterate traveler, realizes that while he has been privy to a wide range of religious practices, he's never seriously considered these concepts in his own life. Face to face with his own mortality, and spurred on by the question of what spiritual principles to impart to his young daughter, he decides to correct this omission, undertaking a worldwide exploration of religions and hoping to come, if he can, to a personal understanding of the divine. The journey that results is rich in insight, humor, and heart. Willing to do anything to better understand faith, and to find the god or gods that speak to him, he travels to Nepal, where he meditates with Tibetan lamas and a guy named Wayne. He sojourns to Turkey, where he whirls (not so well, as it turns out) with Sufi dervishes. He heads to China, where he attempts to unblock his chi; to Israel, where he studies Kabbalah, sans Madonna; and to Las Vegas, where he has a close encounter with Raelians (followers of the world's largest UFO-based religion). At each stop along the way, Weiner tackles our most pressing spiritual questions: Where do we come from? What happens when we die? How should we live our lives? Where do all the missing socks go? With his trademark wit and warmth, he leaves no stone unturned. At a time when more Americans than ever are choosing a new faith, and when spiritual que ungekürzt. Language: English.

30 Things Every Woman Should Have and Should Know by the Time She’s 30 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 190min
Featuring advice, wisdom, and observations from an array of prominent and beloved women, 30 Things Every Woman Should Have and Should Know by the Time She's 30 is an essential guide (and perfect gift) for women on the brink of 30 - and for those who are already there!Fifteen years ago, Glamour published a list of distinctive yet universally true must-haves and must-knows for women on the cusp of and beyond the age of thirty 30, "30 Things Every Woman Should Have and Should Know by the Time She's 30". It became a phenomenon. Originally penned by Glamour columnist Pamela Redmond Satran, the list found a second life when women began to forward it to one another online, millions of times. It became a viral sensation, misattributed to everyone from Maya Angelou to Hillary Clinton - but there's only one original list, and it stands the test of time. Quirky and profound, the list defines the absolute must-haves (Number 11: "A set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill, and a black lace bra") and must-knows (Number 1: "How to fall in love without losing yourself") for grown-up female happiness.Now, Glamour magazine has gathered together its editors and an incredible group of notable women to expand on each of the items on the list in wise, thoughtful, and intimate essays. Kathy Griffin meditates on knowing when to try harder and when to walk away. Lisa Ling explores the idea that your childhood may not have been perfect, but it's over, and Lauren Conrad shares what she has learned about what she would and wouldn't do for money or love. Other personal insights come from Maya Angelou, Rachel Zoe, Taylor Swift, Katie Couric, Portia de Rossi, Kelly Corrigan, ZZ Packer, Bobbi Brown, Padma Lakshmi, Angie Harmon, and many more.Along with essays based on the list, writers share their feelings about what the milestone of turning 30 meant to them. 30 Things Every Woman Should Have and Should Know by the Time She's 30 is the ungekürzt.

Tenderheart
Das zweite Album des neo-traditionalistischen LA-Singer/Songwriter perfektioniert den "SoCal Country"-Sound: Sonnenverwaschen und mit Baja-beeinflusstem Twang. Stream "Tenderheart"-Album https://soundcloud.com/maquilato/sets/sam-outlaw-tenderheart/s-YHqRS Sam Outlaw - one of Los Angeles's only modern country artists - was presented with the International Album of the Year Award for his acclaimed, Ry and Joachim Cooder produced debut album 'Angeleno' at the UK Americana Awards 2017. Tenderheart, is his much anticipated sophomore LP. The 13-track collection of originals was recorded in the San Fernando Valley and co-produced by Outlaw alongside Martin Pradler. Outlaw enlisted many of the same musicians that made his first album, 2015's 'Angeleno,' an undisputed breakthrough and one of the best-reviewed debuts of that year: harmony singer Molly Jenson, pedal steel pro Jeremy Long and guitarist Danny Garcia, along with Taylor Goldsmith (Dawes) and Bo Koster (My Morning Jacket). In addition, 'Tenderheart' features local mariachi group Erwin Vasquez and Mariachi Teocuitatlan. Outlaw offers an extraordinary refinement of the artistic identity laid out on 'Angeleno'. Sonically, the album elaborates on his "SoCal Country" sound: a sun-bleached, Baja-influenced twang that deftly points to country's neo-traditionalists and LA's legendary singer-songwriters. Thematically, 'Tenderheart' is a thesis on self-discovery and the power of love -- Outlaw meditates on his own conflicted quest for peace amidst the chaos of his chosen path.- Shop: odax
