A Way Through the Wilderness: Following the Footsteps of Moses Find the Way through Your Personal Wilderness , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 507min
Do you sometimes feel that you are wandering in a wilderness of grief, confusion, and faltering faith? If so, you are not alone. Like the lost children of Israel, many have searched for a way through a personal wilderness. But just as those same Israelites followed God's leading to the Promised Land, you too can find the promised new life in the Spirit. Jamie Buckingham made such a journey - not only figuratively but literally. During a time of intense personal struggle, he traveled to the Sinai. There he found restoration and, in the solitude of a wilderness night, he learned ancient Bible truths that would alter his life forever. Of all the locations Jamie visited during his many trips to Israel, he loved the Sinai desert the most. In this book he shares with you the simple, healing secrets that God first revealed to Moses at the dawn of faith. www.JamieBuckinghamMinistries.com ungekürzt. Language: English.

One Child (eBook, ePUB)
A Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist offers an intimate investigation of China's one-child policy and its consequences for families and the nation at large.For over three decades, China exercised unprecedented control over the reproductive habits of its billion citizens. Now, with its economy faltering just as it seemed poised to become the largest in the world, the Chinese government has brought an end to its one-child policy. It may once have seemed a shortcut to riches, but it has had a profound effect on society in modern China. Combining personal portraits of families affected by the policy with a nuanced account of China's descent towards economic and societal turmoil, Mei Fong reveals the true cost of this controversial policy. Drawing on eight years of research, Fong reveals a dystopian legacy of second children refused documentation by the state; only children supporting their parents and grandparents; and villages filled with ineligible bachelors. A "vivid and thoroughly researched" piece of on-the-ground journalism, One Child humanizes the policy that defined China and warns that the ill-effects of its legacy will be felt across the globe (The Guardian, UK).- Shop: buecher

And on That Bombshell: Inside the Madness and Genius of TOP GEAR , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 510min
For 13 years, 22 series and 175 shows, Richard Porter was script editor of Top Gear, from the first faltering pilot episode in 2002 until the very last show presented by Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May in 2015. Along the way they destroyed cars, sparked diplomatic incidents, set fire to caravans, almost killed one of the presenters, and somehow transformed Top Gear from a shabby BBC Two motoring show into an Emmy-winning, record-breaking, planet-straddling behemoth. And on That Bombshell tells stories from behind the scenes of one of the world's most successful television programmes, taking in driving monkeys, broken bones, flying cars, angry rednecks and Jeremy Clarkson's secret nickname. Richard Porter provides a unique insight into how the programmes were made, revealing behind-the-scenes disasters more comical than anything seen on screen and explaining what it was like to work inside the self-professed 'poky motoring show' that accidentally became a global phenomenon. Read by Ben Elliot and with an introduction read by the author. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Richard Porter, Ben Elliot.

Stoicism: The Complete Guide to Stoic Philosophy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 181min
Stoicism does not encourage others to understand the essence of faltering and falling, take up and live in a way that holds others in darkness, doubt their own definition, which may be acceptable but lacks a certain level of maturity.Courage, honesty, and credibility lie in the ability to humbly consider unknown factors that were part of a flawed equation. Unbridled joy does not hide the invisible wounds of our soul, and it brings life into perspective close to the core of our experience, not accomplished by stoicism.It was to make Rome a stronger empire, the austere trait of stoicism was practiced. Many then believed in Rome, many in recent decades, and now, many believe in the same values. The goal was that every man should live with vanquished desires and use reason to direct his own decisions.If he had followed the ideals of stoicism correctly, even Rome might have been saved. In the dispassionate contemplation of such concepts, however, one sees the ironic reality of the striking inhumanity of humanity in which stoicism ruled by the king of Plato's philosopher and in which the values of Marcus Aurelius were articulated. ungekürzt.

Knave of Spades , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 525min
When Alan left school at fifteen little was expected of him. An 'O' level in art is not the most obvious passport to success, but in the ancient greenhouses of the local nursery Mrs T's little lad found his spiritual home, learning his trade and the strange ways of human nature. But the comfort and familiarity of his home in the Yorkshire Dales would soon be left behind as he journeyed south to college and then to Kew Gardens where he encountered rare plants collected by Captain Cook and a varied assortment of eccentrics in the world's most famous garden. Spells as a teacher and editor followed, until fate took a hand when he landed a job on BBC's Nationwide as their gardening presenter. His childhood dream of inheriting the mantle of gardening god Percy Thrower was beginning to come true...From the first faltering steps in radio and television, to a career in broadcasting and writing, Knave of Spades is a wonderfully warm and self-deprecatingly honest memoir. Alan Titchmarsh shows us just why he has become not only our favourite gardener, but a popular writer and broadcaster too. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Peter Wickham.
