    Texas Standoff: A Novel of the Texas Rangers , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 504min
    Before he set down his pen, seven-time Spur Award winner Elmer Kelton—the Western Writers of America’s “Best Western Writer of All Time”—cut 50 notches on his gunbelt of classics. In this final novel of the Texas Rangers, a young lawman finds his mettle put to the test while bringing justice to a remote settlement. To stop a series of baffling killings and thefts, newly married ranger Andy Pickard is dispatched to a central Texas community where locals are quick to pin the crimes on two feuding cattlemen. As Pickard investigates, however, he’s convinced the accused are innocent. He reckons the culprits are more likely linked to the rise of a gang of masked vigilantes and the arrival of a notorious gunman. Jonathan Davis’ magnificent narration of Texas Standoff captures Kelton’s trademark grit and authenticity and provides a compelling tribute to the legendary Texan’s last tale. ungekürzt.

    The Christmas Story , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 112min
    Dr. Chuck Missler, a widely recognized Biblical authority, updates his classic study of Christmas for 2007. He explores the background, and myths, surrounding our favorite holiday. What really happened in Bethlehem 2,000 years ago? Who were the "Magi?" Why a virgin birth? What does a Christmas tree have to do with it? Each year at Christmas we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. After the new year, we struggle to remember to add a year as we date our checks, which should remind us that the entire Western World reckons its calendar from the birth of the one who changed the world more than any other before or since. It is disturbing to discover that much of what we have been taught about the Christmas season seems to be more tradition than truth. Santa Claus isn't the only myth or legend that has arisen out of this season. On what "loophole" does the Messianic hope rest? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Chuck Missler.
