    Of Rumours Lived and Told , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 143min
    On a lazy Sunday afternoon, after a lunch of succulent pork and chilled beer, Andrea settles down with her uncle and aunt to retell family stories of Akkai, a Roman Catholic nun (and Andrea's great aunt), who died under mysterious circumstances. This gets Andrea thinking about the lives of the other nuns in the family - like bold and brassy, salsa-dancing great aunt Deidre, who left the convent to be the principal of a college; others soft and steely like Akkai, and the don-like Stella Marie, a nursing superintendent. Andrea realizes these women have played a large part in the architecture of her childhood in the Mangalorean Catholic community of Bangalore. As she talks to family members about the nun-aunts, Andrea unearths some peculiar and quirky aspects. Through whispered stories in the family, she comes to appreciate the porous convent walls the nun-aunts and the family navigate. But she also encounters unexpected reticence from some of the family, whose memories of the nun-aunts are somewhat differently textured. This richly human memoir tells the story of how a young girl finds her way through a flood-tide of recollections and emotion to navigate the tricky shoals of family ties, in an effort to bring closure to the family past. ungekürzt.

    Alfred the Great - Myths, Legends & History , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 95min
    Alfred the Great was not likely to be king if the circumstances of his life did not happen. He was the youngest son of Aethelwulf, king of Wessex, and he had four elder brothers who were in line to succeed in the throne. Yet, as if in an act of fate, his father and all his older brothers died during the invasion of the Vikings. You can say that greatness was in him, and yet, greatness was thrown into his lap as things turned from good to worse. One of the great hallmarks of his life was the defense of England against the Danes. Yet he was more scholar than warrior. In fact, one of the best things he was known for is the provision of education to the commoners in their native English language. In this audiobook, you will catch a glimpse into the life and struggles of Alfred the Great. The audiobook covers his exploits, his weaknesses, and all the things that made him great. Like all historic figures from centuries past, his actual history has been blurred in a mixture of fact, fiction, myth, and legend. This audiobook will try to reconstruct the high and low points of his life and retell the reasons why he is the only king in all of England to be called "The Great". ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Message: The Reselling of President Obama , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 471min
    They had 99 problems but Mitt Romney wasn't one. At the start of an epic election, the team trying to reelect President Obama faced a mountain of challenges: a dismal economy, the faded hopes of the first campaign, and a struggle to raise enough cash to compete. No president had risen so fast, or fallen so far, in the modern era. And no president in living memory had earned a second term in such troubled times. To resell the president, they needed to redefine the world they were living in. They needed to retell their own story and rewrite the characters. They needed to find The Message. But first, they needed to fight the enemy within: each other. For six years they kept a lid on their internal disputes-the ego clashes, the disappointed ambitions, and the battle to control the Obama brand. Everything was out of public view and under wraps. They called their style No Drama Obama, and the phrase matched the mood of the candidate. But it was never completely true. In 2008 they found a way around their rivalries. Four years later, their hostilities threatened to undermine the reelection of a president at a time when most voters were deeply unhappy and ready for change. Drawing on unrivaled access to the key characters, The Message tells the inside story of the Mad Men-the marketers, message-shapers, and admakers - who held the Obama presidency in their hands. ungekürzt.

    The Snake Doctors / The Dog That Saved Humanity , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 21min
    An anthology of two traditional morality tales, including exposure to Cherokee language. "The Snake Doctors": When you see dragonflies gather, there may be snakes nearby - watch out! Everyone has their own talents, their own "medicine". Our medicines may change over our lives. Once you give up some part of you, even if you didn't mean to, you may not be able to get it back. "The Snake Doctors" teaches us not to try to be something we're not, especially to impress somebody else. It teaches us that we can recover from our own problems by finding somebody else who needs our help. And remember - if you do something on a dare, you may be sorry! "The Dog Who Saved Humanity": Why do dogs love us so much, and why are they willing to risk their lives to rescue us? Joyce Rheal and Brian Wilkes retell the ancient story of the dog who warned humans of the Great Flood that was on the way. Native American teaching stories are often linked to specific locations, and this one is linked to a specific mountain in Tennessee, where the Ark came to rest, and where the survivors erected a 16-foot-tall stone dog to remind them of the event. This book examines the deep connection between Southeastern Nations and their beloved dogs. A fun audiobook you'll share with your children and grandchildren over and over again! ungekürzt.

    Bible and Cinema (eBook, PDF)
    Bible and Cinema: An Introduction is a comprehensive examination of how the Bible has been used and represented in mainstream cinema to develop its plots, characters, and themes. The book considers two general types of films: Bible movies that retell biblical stories, such as the Exodus and the life of Jesus, and Bible-related movies that make use of biblical books, stories, verses, and figures, and Bibles themselves to tell non-biblical, often fictional, narratives. Topics covered include: the contribution of Bible and Bible-related movies to the history of the Bible's reception; the ways in which filmmakers make use of scripture to address and reflect their own time and place; the Bible as a vehicle through which films can address social and political issues, reflect human experiences and emotions, explore existential issues such as evil and death, and express themes such as destruction and redemption; the role of the Bible as a source of ethics and morality, and how this role is both perpetuated and undermined in a range of contemporary Hollywood films; and film as a medium for experiences of transcendence, and the role of the Bible in creating such experiences. This thoroughly updated second edition includes insightful analysis of films such as Noah, Gods and Men, Mary Magdalene, and The Shawshank Redemption, paying attention to visual and aural elements as well as plot, character, and dialogue. The book also includes pedagogical resources including discussions of film theory, as well as key words and discussion questions. Teachers, students, and anyone interested in the intersection of Bible and cinema will find this an invaluable guide to a growing field.
