Me of Little Faith: More Me! Less Faith! , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 348min
What do we believe? And in God's name why? Lewis Black has the answers. Or at least his answers. He survived Hebrew school and a bar mitzvah (barely), was a 60's college student who saw the parallels between religious rapture and drug-induced visions (even if none of his friends did), explored the self-actualization movement of the 70's (and the self-indulgence it engendered), and turned a cynical eye toward politicians who don the cloak of religious rectitude to cover up their own hypocrisy. What he learned about the inconsistencies and peculiarities of religion infuriated Black, and in Me of Little Faith they get his full comic attention. In a series of comedic inquiries, Black explores how the rules and constraints of religion have affected his life and the lives of us all. Hilarious experiences with rabbis, Mormons, gurus, psychics, and even the joy of a perfect round of golf give Black the chance to expound upon what we believe and why - in the language of a shock jock and with the heart of an iconoclast. ungekürzt.

Surfing with Sartre: An Aquatic Inquiry into a Life of Meaning , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 725min
From the best-selling author of A**holes: A Theory, a book that - in the tradition of Shopclass as Soulcraft, Barbarian Days, and Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance - uses the experience and the ethos of surfing to explore key concepts in philosophy. The existentialist philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre once declared "the ideal limit of aquatic sports...is waterskiing". The avid surfer and lavishly credentialed academic philosopher Aaron James vigorously disagrees, and in Surfing with Sartre he intends to expound the thinking surfer's view of the matter, in the process elucidating such philosophical categories as freedom, being, phenomenology, morality, epistemology, and even the emerging values of what he terms "leisure capitalism". In developing his unique surfer-philosophical worldview, he draws from his own experience of surfing and from surf culture and lingo and includes many relevant details from the lives of the philosophers, from Aristotle to Wittgenstein, with whose thought he engages. In the process he'll speak to listeners in search of personal and social meaning in our current anxious moment, by way of doing real, authentic philosophy. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Gumption: Relighting the Torch of Freedom with America's Gutsiest Troublemakers , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 702min
The star of Parks and Recreation and author of the New York Times best seller Paddle Your Own Canoe returns with a second book that humorously highlights 21 figures from our nation's history, from her inception to present day - Nick's personal pantheon of "great Americans". To millions of people, Nick Offerman is America. Both Nick and his character, Ron Swanson, are known for their humor and patriotism in equal measure. After the great success of his autobiography Paddle Your Own Canoe, Offerman now focuses on the lives of those who inspired him. From George Washington to Willie Nelson, he describes 21 heroic figures and why they inspire in him such great meaning. He'll combine both serious history with light-hearted humor - comparing, say, George Washington's wooden teeth to his own experience as a woodworker. The subject matter will also allow Offerman to expound upon his favorite topics, which listeners love to hear - areas such as religion, politics, woodworking and handcrafting, agriculture, creativity, philosophy, fashion, and, of course, meat. ungekürzt.

The Godson , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 31min
Leo Tolstoy, best known for the novels Anna Karenina and War and Peace, also wrote short stories that expound on Christianity. The Godson is a moving parable about a man finding a way to understand himself, the events around him, and his purpose in life. The story is about a son who was born to a poor peasant who rejoiced and went to a neighbour to ask him to become godfather to the boy. The neighbour refused, as he did not want to be godfather to a poor man’s son. So the peasant went to another neighbour, and he, too, refused. He walked from house to house but could find no one who would be godfather to his son, so he set out to another village.... The themes of The Godson include atonement, obedience, faith, and the spiritual journey of a Christian.

The Lord’s Supper , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 154min
Thomas Lupich is the Preceptor of the International Society of Seekers of the Truth, a retired electrical designer from Princeton University's Plasma Physics Laboratory, and a taiji instructor with an interest in science and health. His major interest is Biblical truth. He, therefore, considers himself a truth seeker: an avocation that he recommends to all men. Jesus commanded his disciples to become seekers of the truth and Thomas Lupich took him at his word. Solomon had this to say, "It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honor of kings is to search out a matter." Thomas has written The Lord's Supper: Mingle with the Best to expound on the meaning and the blessings of the Eucharist. The Lord's Supper has various important layers of meaning, but much more importantly, it tells us how we can be transmuted into beings much like him. The hope of the author is to share with his listeners the Eucharist's light and its ability to transmute lives in the following way. Those that truly partake of the Lord's supper will be "mingling with the best", i.e., "The father and the son". The mingling will cause much of the best to rub off on them. What rubs off will make them grow and glow, not only in this present age, but also in the eons to come! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: David Drummond.

The Restitution of All Things: Israel, Christians, and the End of the Age , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 471min
Did Jesus of Nazareth really intend to start a brand-new religion called Christianity? Or did he come to fulfill that which all of the Hebrew prophets had foretold since the fall of man, something the holy scriptures mysteriously call the restitution of all things? Veteran journalist and author Joseph Farah seeks to shed light on what few sermons today teach about, few authors expound upon, and few Bible studies explore: the coming kingdom of God. This book is a primer on the Hebrew roots of the Christian faith that reveals a new appreciation of the work Jesus did on the cross and will answer such questions as why is there so much focus in the prophecy world on events leading up to the return of Jesus and so little about what follows? Using scriptures almost exclusively as a resource, Farah will amaze most Christians with a clear picture of what the coming kingdom of God will be like. Prophetic scriptures and many others closely matching the conditions of today's world make a compelling case that we may be nearing this very special and long-prophesied time, a time of great hope but also of great deception. This book is a deeply thought-provoking analysis of that which every Christian believer looks forward to with hope and with awe. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bob Souer.

Hemingway , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 216min

A reluctant Texas outlaw makes his living on gunpowder and lead, selling his only real talent across the Old West, until a hit turned tragically wrong makes him face what he has become. A privileged teenage girl's first love abandons her, leading her to a heartbreaking, coast to coast journey of self-discovery. A jaded smuggler succumbs to the Siren’s Song, but his last chance at love and redemption threatens to rip him apart like a ship on the jagged rocks.

Dear Mr Bigelow: A Transatlantic Friendship , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 775min
Dear Mr Bigelow is an enchanting selection of weekly 'pen-pal' letters written between 1949 and 1961 from an unmarried woman working at the Pier Approach Baths in Bournemouth, to a wealthy American widower, living on Long Island, New York. Frances Woodsford and Commodore Paul Bigelow never met, and there was no romance - she was in her forties when he died aged ninety-seven - yet their epistolary friendship was her lifeline. The 'Saturday Specials' as Frances dubbed them, are brilliantly-packed missives, sparked with comic genius, from post-war England. We follow her travails at the Baths (and her ghastly boss Mr Bond); the hilarious weekly Civil Defence classes as the Cold War advances; her attempts to shake off Dr Russell, an unwanted suitor; life at home with Mother, and Mac, her charming ne'er-do-well brother; and escapades in their jointly-owned car, a 1934 Ford 8 called Hesperus. Most importantly, we get to know Frances - and her deep affection for Mr Bigelow. She started to write to him as a way of thanking his daughter for the clothes and food parcels she sent. But what had begun as a good turn offered Frances the chance to escape a trying job, and to expound with elegance, wit and verve on topical subjects from home and abroad, bringing us a beady commentary on her life and times that leaps vividly from the page. Her letters to Mr Bigelow during his final illness are a tender and moving farewell, a touching conclusion to a unique record. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Patience Tomlinson.
