Miracle Men: How Rassie’s Springbok’s Won the World Cup , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 457min
When Rassie Erasmus took over as coach of the Springboks in 2018, few thought they had a chance of winning the Rugby World Cup. The Boks had slipped to seventh in the world rankings and lost the faith of the rugby-loving public. Less than two years later, jubilant crowds lined the streets of South Africa’s cities to welcome back the victorious team. Sportswriter Lloyd Burnard takes the listener on the thrilling journey of a team that went from no-hopers to world champions. He examines how exactly this turnaround was achieved. Interviews with players, coaches and support staff reveal how the principles of inclusion, openness and focus, as well as careful planning and superb physical conditioning, became the basis for a winning formula. The key roles played by Rassie Erasmus and Siya Kolisi shine through. There were ups and downs along the way: beating the All Blacks in Wellington during the Rugby Championship was a high point, but then came Kolisi’s injury, while in Japan the distractions of a volatile support base sometimes shook the players’ focus. Miracle Men is filled with marvellous anecdotes and sharp insights. It is also inspiring testimony to what can be achieved when a group of South Africans from all backgrounds come together as a team. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Rory Acton Burnell.

Passage to Faith: Cosmic Evidence and Testimonies of God's Unseen Power : The Faith Today Trilogy, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 228min
Passage to Faith is book one in The Faith Today Trilogy series.Passage to Faith explores current scientific evidence supporting the case for the existence of a creator God. It draws on dozens of historical testimonies of individuals who had encounters with a supreme being which influenced them to change their lives, and sometimes the world, for the better. Taking the listener on an evidence-based tour through the cosmos, Lee, qualified in the fields of the philosophy of futures studies, theology, literature and education, reveals a stunning degree of indwelling intelligence and beauty on display throughout the universe and on Earth. He then traces the common ground between the creation account in Genesis in the Bible and scientific cosmology, the Big Bang theory and Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity.Lee discusses the faith of a wide range of people from different eras and disciplines to reinforce the conviction that God’s redeeming power actively intervenes not just in nature but in history. These examples include, among others, figures from history like Joan of Arc, Nelson Mandela and Barack and Michelle Obama, scientists and mathematicians like Copernicus, Galileo, Kepler, Newton, Faraday, Mendel, Pasteur, Pascal, George Washington Carver, Dr Wernher von Braun, Professor Christiaan Barnard and Francis S. Collins, missionaries like John Wesley, Mother Theresa, Dr David Livingstone, Dr Albert Schweitzer, and Jackie Pullinger, singers, entertainers, and actors such as Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Jim Reeves, Glen Campbell, Alice Cooper, Gary Cooper, John Wayne, Alfred Hitchcock, Mark Wahlberg, Mel Gibson, Sylvester Stallone, and Bear Grylls, men and women from the sports arena like George Foreman, Novak Djokovic, Simona Halep and Siya Kolisi, as well as astronauts such as Dr. Buzz Aldrin, David Randolph Scott and Gene Cernan. ungekürzt.
