25 Conversation Starters: Open People up with the Right Question at the Right Time , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 81min
Conversation is simple and easy. We share things with others, and others share things with us. It doesn't always work out this simply, of course, but this is who we are at our cores. Humans are social creatures; we share. Verbal communication played a significant role in all your biggest life achievements. The sexiest guy or girl you've dated. The most money you ever made. The happiest you've ever been. Didn't all of these come, in whole or in part, from some amount of conversation? Who are your best friends? Your closest relatives? And how did they become so close and important to you? From conversation! So, knowing how important conversation is, why do so many of us struggle with it? We think too damn much. About? What the other person might think of us How we might sound stupid If this is a dumb question Possibly being turned down for something The fear of the unknown Eliminate these fears, and conversation is easy. These fears are mostly based in a lack of knowledge. A lack of knowledge in how to start a conversation and how to keep conversation flowing. But you downloaded this book. So that fear will be gone very soon. Verbal communication is the skill which keeps humans at the top of the food chain. Without it, we would be prey to the many bigger, stronger and faster animals we see on National Geographic. The most successful people we know are the best communicators. They're the people who can best get their point across. The ones who are good at persuasion. People can make people feel things - happiness, anger, sadness, motivation. The best communicators make their every communication feel like a personal conversation with you. True or not true? Since you agree, would you also agree that an improvement in your conversational skills would boost your success in life? Good. You have the perfect tool for doing so ungekürzt. Language: English.

Now he shares his story for the first time in "a wonderful addition to a seminal career" (San Francisco Chronicle), "infused with nostalgia and his signature hilarity" (Parade). NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY NEW YORK POST • "Laugh-out-loud hilarious and always fascinating, from the great Mel Brooks.

When We Were Brave: A Completely Gripping and Emotional WW2 Historical Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 665min
The face of the woman in the photograph was tilted upwards, as if enjoying the sunshine just for a moment, even as the wreckage of the bombed-out street lay behind her...Cornwall, 1944: Blinded by love, Vivienne Hamilton eloped to Paris with a Nazi prisoner-of-war, never to be seen again. A disgrace to her family, her name would not be mentioned by any of her relatives for over 75 years. Present day, London: When Sophie discovers a photograph of her great aunt Vivi from World War II, it throws her into a world of confusion. Because, as she learns about this secret relative, she quickly realizes that the photograph doesn’t fit with her family’s story. It shows Vivi leaving an address associated with a spy network in London - a place she had no reason to be - and it is dated right before she disappeared. Meanwhile Sophie’s own life feels as blasted and bombed as the blitzed city in the photograph she’s looking at. Her beautiful daughter - as full of joy and wild energy as Vivi had apparently once been - is gone; and Sophie’s heart has been left broken into pieces. Retreating to the family home in rural Cornwall to seek solace from her pain and the feelings of guilt that she could have done more to protect her daughter, Sophie finds herself becoming obsessed with Vivi’s life. But nothing can prepare Sophie for what she is about to uncover - the story of a woman who risked everything for the person she loved the most; and a secret family history that could be the key to Sophie’s own future. A powerful, haunting and unforgettable audiobook about love, heartbreak and betrayal set in World War II Britain and France. Perfect for fans of The Nightingale, Under a Scarlet Sky, and My Name is Eva.

Make Me Give In: Omega Celibacy Club, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 492min
Welcome to the Omega Celibacy Club. No sex until graduation. No unexpected pregnancies. No alphas needed. SimonEven if it’s not politically correct to say so anymore, everyone still knows that alphas and omegas are ruled by their biology. Sure, it’s the 21st century now and most people have given up believing in archaic ideas like fated mates, but just take a look at college drop out rates and you’ll see that some things haven’t changed at all. Alphas still dominate, omegas still submit, and horny college kids in heat let their hormones dictate poor choices every day.Not me and my roommates, though. Not if I have anything to say about it. Too many of our classmates here at Preston College have gotten knocked up and then dropped out. Given up their goals and dreams just because they’ve met an alpha with a big...ego. The point here is that there’s only one surefire way to avoid that trap, and that’s why I started the Omega Celibacy Club. No sex until graduation. No unexpected pregnancies. No alphas needed. And no, I’m not just saying that because I’ve been hung up on one particular alpha for approximately ever. I’m totally over Hunter King. I mean, not that there was ever anything to get over. Our families have been friends forever and he dated my sister back when I was still just a kid, but even if me and my right hand may have pined for him once upon a time, I barely ever think of him anymore. I mean never. I never think of him anymore. Did I mention I’m over it? HunterWeddings are a great place to get laid, but when I show up for my ex’s big day, I’m hoping to get a lot more than that. I’ve never admitted it, but the reason I broke up with her all those years ago was because of her brother. One look at little Simon Lawson and I was a goner. Of course I didn’t say anything though, not back then. I didn’t touch him. Always kept my distance. I had to, because he was ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Charlie David.

The Roman Province of Judea: The Turbulent History and Legacy of Rome’s Rule in Ancient Israel and Judah , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 100min
Judea is one of the most important regions in the modern world. It is the center of two of the world’s great religions and extremely important to a third. Politically, the whole area is the focus of conflict between Jews and Arabs, as well as different Muslim sects. Its history is littered with wars, insurrections, and religious revolutions. To say that it has had a turbulent past is to understate the case in the extreme. The history of Judea is, of course, inextricably linked to the history of the Jewish people, their dispersal throughout the Mediterranean world, and their reestablishment of the modern state of Israel in the wake of the horrors of the Holocaust. And among all the tumultuous events associated with Jewish history, few can rival the period of Roman rule during the first century CE, when Roman attempts to suppress Jewish nationalism were met with violent resistance. Ultimately, the Romans forcibly removed much of the Jewish population from the region, setting the scene for later events that have impacted so directly on world history. Events in the region during the first century CE also brought about the birth of Christianity, a religious movement that has been at the forefront of European history ever since. The fact that Jerusalem has been sacked and razed on approximately 20 occasions since the assumed dates of King David has made it virtually impossible to find any evidence to corroborate the theory, but the task was made a little easier by the discovery of the Tel Dan Stele which has been dated to the late ninth century to early eighth century BCE and contains a reference to the House of David. Many scholars now accept the existence of some kind of state ruled by David and Solomon, though have concluded that it was on a much smaller scale than portrayed in the Bible. Despite the lack of definitive corroborating evidence, the myths surrounding the Kingdoms of Judah and Israel became so ingrained in the Jewish psyche that any ungekürzt. Language: English.

The One That Got Away: Friendship, Texas, Book 5 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 364min
A brand-new stand-alone from Friendship, Texas, featuring everyone's favorite awkward baker and the one that got away.I looked up, and standing there was my ex-boyfriend Jordan Webber. Maybe, ex-boyfriend wasn't the right word. Maybe, the boy who I dated for almost two years. Then, he graduated early, leaving for art school in New York. He wanted me to come with him, but what future did I have in New York? My parents weren’t paying for me to go to school unless it was a state school with a real degree, and all I ever wanted was to do photography. So, the portrait studio worked for the time-being until I realized I really needed to get out of the house and took the part-time job at the bakery. Between my parents’ divorce, work, and trying to get over my breakup, I was basically a hot mess the first two years after high school. Joey came in at the right time as a distraction, followed by the job at the bakery. But I still never forgot about the one that got away.I hadn't seen Jordan in over four years, and there he was, standing there with a hand on one of the boxes and his blue eyes wide open like he'd just seen a ghost."Abbey Dillinger?" he asked, it wasn't so much of a question as it was a breathless statement.I hated him for leaving me. He could have gone to art school in Dallas. He could have stayed if he really did love me. I should have hated him. But seeing him, standing in front of me, I couldn’t hate him. The past four years had been very good to him.Please note: This book is a stand-alone in a series of stand-alone stories taking place in the fictional town of Friendship, Texas.

Books of 1, 2, 3, and 4 Maccabees, The Septuagint Version , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 393min
The Septuagint version of the Maccabees in English. 1 Maccabees: Although the book presents the Jewish leaders Judas, Jonathan, and Simon as devout people and has little sympathy for people who favor Hellenization, it must be noted that he nowhere mentions divine intervention. The author must have been a cultivated Jew living in Judah, and can be dated to c.100 B.C.E. 2 Maccabees is not as well-written and has a less polished form. The pagans are defined as "blasphemous and barbarous nations" in 10.4, but there are also severe censures of apostate Jews, of whom there must therefore have been considerable numbers. We find theological features in 2 Maccabees such as the resurrection of the body in 7.11; 14.46. This stands in stark contrast first to Wisdom and Philo, both of which teach the immortality of the soul. In 7.28, there appears for the first time in Hebrew thought that the doctrine, which will later be called creatio ex nihilo, which is the belief that creation, and thus all things created, was brought about out of nothing. 3 Maccabees: The title of 3 Maccabees is a misnomer because the book has nothing to do with the Maccabees, who are never mentioned in it. The book is a story about a situation in which the Jewish people, this time in Egypt, were in danger of being annihilated by a Hellenistic monarch, who was attempting to top their religious convictions and practices. The book was composed in Greek and relates a story set in the time of Ptolemy IV Philopater (221-203 B.C.E). 4 Maccabees belongs to the Maccabees series only because it deals with the beginning of the persecution of Jews by Antiochus IV Epiphanes. It possibly was written during the reign of the emperor Caligula (C.E. 37.) The work's main religious theme is that the martyr's sufferings expunged the sins of the entire Jewish people through a type of propitiation. The Maccabees books were preserved only by the Christian church. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mel Jackson.
