Sunny Days: Sunil Gavaskar's Own Story , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 582min

Sunny Days is the fascinating record of the growth of India's greatest batsman, one whose astonishing feats on the cricket field have had innumerable records rewritten and yet more difficult targets set. How did Sunil Manohar Gavaskar begin, and what were the early days like? It is not merely out of curiosity that one may ask the question; the knowledge of the shaping up of the process of greatness is essential for a true understanding of the greatness. Before we can ask the Little Master to tell us about the dizzying heights of his career, we need to know the beginning. And Sunny Days is all about it. The baby is switched after birth, luckily restored by an eagle-eyed uncle; he grows up and almost breaks his mother's nose with a mighty hit (a childhood habit persisting in later life); plays good cricket in school and college; graduates inevitably through university and Trophy cricket; is at times booed by the crowd as his uncle happens to be a Selector - in fact all that could happen does happen to make him reach the age of 21, when, at Port of Spain Gavaskar, he bursts upon the cricket scene with his Test debut. The year is 1971, Gavaskar's year, and sunny days have truly begun for Indian cricket. By the end of the 1975-76 season, Gavaskar has played 147 first class matches and amassed 11,574 runs and 38 hundreds. He has played in 24 matches in 8 Tests, with 2,123 runs and 8 hundreds. Still eight years to go for the great days of the Kotla and the Chidambaram Stadium; but as it is said, in the beginning is the end. Fluently written, with self-effacing modesty imparting a rare grace, Sunny Days is great to listen to. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Avinash Kumar Singh.

The Equilibrist , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 187min

In Erasmus Cromwell-Smith II's magical, modern-day literary tale, an ailing professor journeys into his past to reveal a world ensconced in stories and poetry, with the hope of imparting inspirational, lifelong lessons. From his crumpled aesthetic of a tweed jacket or cardigan to his thick British accent, Professor Erasmus Cromwell-Smith is the embodiment of the prestigious New England scholastic institute where he teaches. But at 64, with a sudden diagnosis of incurable brain cancer, he decides to focus his intentions on living each day to the fullest and to share a lifetime of wisdom that he's treasured throughout the years. In daily classes with an ever-increasing audience, the professor mesmerizes students with tales of a childhood surrounded by rare books and enhanced by his friendships with three colorful, eclectic antiquarian mentors.Through an unfolding of conversation, free-verse poetry, and letters, the mentors' tutelage is revealed. For example, the title poem serves as a message about balance and freedom, while "The Magic in Life" poses questions about where enchantment exists, " ... a piece of art?/ ...a magnificent meal?/ ...within the silence and peace of contemplation and meditation?" Over 30 thought-provoking poems and reflections are woven throughout, addressing such concepts as letting go of the past, finding inspiration, dealing with loss, and ultimately living a happy, blissful life. The writing style is thoroughly fluid and engaging, with a nice narrative changeup, as chapters often switch from the third person as the eccentric professor ponders his way to class, to the first- person storytelling of his lectures that easily draws in students. This is also a story about love. With only a few hints regarding a curious young blonde-haired woman attending his class, the professor's legacy is ultimately brought to a surprising, honored conclusion. The story's premise recalls Randy Pausch's popular memoir, The L ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Daniel Dorse.

About Faith: 13 Messages for the Freethinker , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 359min

Is is possible to change one's beliefs? And what is the difference between "belief" and "faith"? Faith can have an enormous influence on outlook, inner peace, and satisfaction with life. The fact is, everyone has faith in many things. You have faith that your car will start when you turn the key (or press the button). You might have faith that if you make enough green lights you will get to work on time. Faith can be as simple as trusting that when you fall asleep at night you will also wake up the next morning. But can a person choose to trust, choose to have faith? And can that trust be a real, solid, and heartfelt trust? Faith is a personal decision based on a logical and convincing demonstration of the effectiveness (trustworthiness) of the object of faith.This book consists of 13 messages reaching out primarily to freethinkers who may or may not believe in the existence of a “higher power”. Many may also doubt or deny the benefit of religion altogether. That’s okay. That’s where the author began some years ago. So how does one "get there" from here? How does a person come to a genuine faith in God? They have to be moved - motivated - to believe and then to trust in some aspect of God’s goodness. “We love Him because He first loved us” (1 John :4:19). God might reveal his power in a way that we know - we are absolutely convinced - God has intervened on our behalf. “It is the kindness of God that leads us to 'repentance' (turning to Him)" (Romans 2:4).These 13 messages are assembled so the listener can "get to know God" and the ministry of his son, Jesus Christ. They are meant to be educational, entertaining, and structured so that God might do his work of imparting his love and power - power to convict and power to restore. These messages were originally recorded and aired on international radio. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: C. W. Steinle.

Watches: A Complete History of the Technical and Decorative Development of the Watch

A long-awaited reprint of an important illustrated reference work on the general history of the watch from 1500 to 1980. When Watches was first published in 1965 it quickly gained for itself a reputation as the foremost general history of the subject and, following the expanded edition in 1979 which covered recent years past 1830, this has remained unchallenged in horological history. In this long-awaited reprinted edition, collectors and horological students can again make use of the reference illustrations and history in this work as approached by the leading horology historians and clockmakers of the twentieth century. Clutton and Daniels write expertly on the vast history of watches, through the changing tastes and styles of collectors and makers, as well as imparting their own knowledge on various technical aspects within the watches. The expansive historical section encompasses both decorative and mechanical aspects of mid-sixteenth to late twentieth century watches, including those by George Daniels himself, detailing the rich history behind more modern designs and fascinations. These later years include a variety of semi-experimental escapements, as well as covering the development of the precision watch and work leading to it by Ferdinand Berthoud and Pierre Le Roy, discussed alongside John Arnold in England, to satisfy the technical-minded collector. Horology and collecting have grown with the changing technologies, and watches continue to be produced to an exceptional technological standard. Precision watches from the 1730-1930 period are covered in detail, as well as high standard Swiss and American watches of the last hundred years; these highly complicated watches benefit greatly from having both colour and mono illustrations to clarify the details. For a truly comprehensive understanding of escapements, photographs of these have been included alongside a critical approach to this essential mechanism. Since its first publication, Watches has provided an essential work of reference and history behind some of the most renowned minds and creations. Now reprinted for a new generation of collectors and students, and featuring over 600 illustrations, the technical and decorative elements of historical watches can be studied and enjoyed once more.

Saturate Us

John "Jake" Greene, II is a seasoned worship leader, musician, and songwriter. Born and raised in Alexandria, VA., he began playing the piano at the age of 5. He began providing musical accompaniment for his Sunday school at the age of 7. Under the mentorship of his father, John Greene I, he began singing in and training choirs four years later. Jake began playing for all of the choirs at his church by the age of 13. In May 2004, Jake received his Bachelor of Science degree in Commerce from the University of Virginia. There he served as the director for the Black Voices Gospel choir and as the praise & worship leader for the Impact Movement, a branch of Campus Crusade for Christ Ministries. God blessed Jake with an opportunity to participate in a mission's trip to Capetown, South Africa the summer of 2002. Shortly after God opened many doors of ministry for Jake to lead worship and direct choirs all over the United States and a few parts of the world. Under Jake's direction, the Youth Choir of the National Church of God went on to win first place in the small choir competition at the Delmarva-DC Teen Talent competition in April 2006 and April 2008. In June 2008, Jake received his Masters in Theological Studies from the Washington National Bible College & Seminary. At God's prompting, Jake formed his group One Voice in 2006. God's mandate to Jake was to develop a team of music ministers devoted to worshipping God and sharing His word through music. One Voice lives with God's conviction to not only minister in excellence but to live in holiness. Imparting that excellence, godly living, and changing lives in the process is the group's vision. One Voice's desire is deeper than creating new music. The team aspires to hear God, interpret what He says in song, and minister the heart of that message effectively. In 2007, Jake and One Voice released their premier album entitled "Arise." Their sophomore project, "Saturate Us," was just released in July of 2010. Jake has recently completed a solo instrumental album entitled "Wilderness Revelation." This project was birthed out of his personal worship times and features Jake rendering keyboard and cello selections. Jake served as the Assistant Music Minister and Chief Musician at National Church of God under Pastor Stephen Lowery, Senior Pastor and Minister Rosalind Lynch, Director of Church Music and Worship for six years. He currently serves with Eagles' Wings, a prophetic worship ministry under the leadership of Rev. Robert Stearns. Jake's ultimate desire is to please God with his lifestyle, exemplify Jesus through his witness, and serve the body of Christ by continually creating an atmosphere of worship conducive to allowing all to connect with God.
