The Vow: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 543min
It happens in the chill of a September night, 1939: Their small Polish village is raided, burned to the ground. Anna, a devoutly Catholic teenager, watches as her friend is shot, as her father is dragged off for conscription in the German army. Szymon, the young village priest, stands silently with his parishioners as their church is ransacked and torched. Anna clings to him - her dear friend and confidant - and by some luck, the Germans spare them. Five Septembers later, Anna and Szymon still cling together, now amid the turmoil of war. Though Anna dreads her engagement to a local ruffian and Szymon fears for his father's life back home, the two find solace in their friendship. But when the Soviet army comes to "liberate" them, Anna endures an unspeakable atrocity and Szymon suffers his own tragedy. Now bound even more tightly by the sorrows they carry, they face a choice: honor the vows they've made to others or risk everything for the chance at salvation in each other. ungekürzt.

Medieval Christianity: A New History , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1280min
For many, the medieval world seems dark and foreign - a miraculous, brutal, and irrational time of superstition and strange relics. The pursuit of heretics, the Inquisition, the Crusades, and the domination of the "Holy Land" come to mind. Yet the medieval world produced much that is part of our world today, including universities, the passion for Roman architecture and the emergence of the Gothic style, pilgrimage, the emergence of capitalism, and female saints. This new narrative history of medieval Christianity combines what is familiar and unfamiliar to modern audiences. Elements of novelty in the book include a steady focus on the role of women in Christianity; the relationships among Christians, Jews, and Muslims; the experience of ordinary parishioners; the adventure of asceticism, devotion, and worship; and instruction through drama, architecture, and art. Kevin Madigan expertly integrates these areas of focus with more traditional themes, such as the evolution and decline of papal power, the nature and repression of heresy, sanctity and pilgrimage, the conciliar movement, and the break between the old Western church and its reformers. ungekürzt.

Deadly Little Secrets: The Minister, His Mistress, and a Heartless Texas Murder , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 802min
A man of God...driven by the devil To his parishioners, minister Matt Baker seemed a pious and good man. To his wife, Kari, he was a devoted husband and caring father. Always sunny and vivacious, Kari never questioned their frequent relocations from one small Texas Baptist church to another. Even when tragedy struck, Kari remained strong - until one day, inexplicably, she took her own life. To friends and family, Kari's suicide made no sense - and they struggled with questions they couldn't answer. Why couldn't Matt hold a job with any one church? Why did he cut off all contact with Kari's devastated parents soon after her death? And who was the blonde companion he began appearing with just days after the funeral? But it would take a team of investigators and dogged determination to bring Matt Baker's dark secrets to light - revealing a shocking history of lies, infidelity, cruelty, and sexual obsession that may have led a serial predator cloaked in God's word to commit murder. ungekürzt.

At a crossroads, he has suddenly reappeared in her life, torn between his priesthood and his growing desire for a future with Analiese.

Sexual Lust in the Church, Pornography, Sexual Fantasies, Fornication and Adultery: The Biblical Answer — You Can Be Free , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 128min
There is a sexual sin epidemic rampaging through the Christian Church. Fifty-four percent of Christian pastors are viewing pornography, and 70 percent of their male parishioners view pornography at least monthly. Nearly half of Christian men, and 33 percent of Christian women admit to having immoral sexual fantasies. Adultery and fornication permeate the Church. The Apostle Paul said that sexual immorality should not even be named among Christians. What has gone wrong? What is the cause? I spent many years in the “hell” of bondage to sexual lust. I know the torment it brings. You feel dirty, defeated, ashamed, and hopeless. You are aware that the Bible states that the sexually immoral will not inherit the kingdom of God, but you are unable to escape your enslavement to sexual lust. There is hope. I have been set free by Jesus Christ and his word. There is a biblical pathway to freedom from sexual sin. I am sharing that biblical path in this book. Your deliverance is assured, if you follow the biblical instructions and requirements listed in this book. Your freedom awaits. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: William J. Ritterskamp.

The Grave's a Fine and Private Place: A Flavia de Luce Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 588min
The world's greatest adolescent British chemist/busybody/sleuth (The Seattle Times), Flavia de Luce, returns in a twisty new mystery novel from award-winning and New York Times best-selling author Alan Bradley. In the wake of an unthinkable family tragedy, 12-year-old Flavia de Luce is struggling to fill her empty days. For a needed escape, Dogger, the loyal family servant, suggests a boating trip for Flavia and her two older sisters. As their punt drifts past the church where a notorious vicar had recently dispatched three of his female parishioners by spiking their communion wine with cyanide, Flavia, an expert chemist with a passion for poisons, is ecstatic. Suddenly, something grazes her fingers as she dangles them in the water. She clamps down on the object, imagining herself Ernest Hemingway battling a marlin, and pulls up what she expects will be a giant fish. But in Flavia's grip is something far better: a human head, attached to a human body. If anything could take Flavia's mind off sorrow, it is solving a murder - although one that may lead the young sleuth to an early grave. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jayne Entwistle.

Pure Rebellion: Pure Love, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 81min
The exciting conclusion to the Pure Love sci-fi series. The Lunar Massacre was considered to be one of the greatest tragedies of all time. One man rose through the ranks of the Batiste faith to spread a message of hope and liberation. His name was Fernando Jacquard, and his mission is to inspire the Batiste to make their spirituality the central focus of their lives. Only through faith, he said, could they win this war. But not everyone is convinced that his motives are pure. Jacob is worried that his message could be used against the people, and Elizabeth is too. They want to leave, but Abel refuses, and now Jacob has to make a choice. Will he stay with the man he loves or get himself to safety? If Fernando can't fight the Eucharist, how are they going to free the Parishioners? Author's note: While this audiobook can be listened to as a standalone novel, to find out how Abel and Jacob left the Eucharist and started their fight for truth, listen to book one, Pure Love, and book two, Pure Boys.
