    The Killing Club , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 153min
    Kristen always wanted to be part of the "in crowd". Her social worries intensified after transferring from a small, public school to private, upscale Smithshire Academy in the middle of her high school career. She wanted so badly to be part of the social network in her new school that she didn't think twice when one of the existing members of the popular girl's group, The K-Club, invited her over one night for a sleepover - where all the girls whose names started with the letter "K" were going to be. Kristen's self-doubt allows her to be pulled into the group on one condition: she must first go through the initiation process that the other girls have set for her. What ensues is a group of popular high school girls practicing the occult, and Kristen going over to a stranger's house to "scare" them, plus sacrifices to secure Kristen's spot in high school legend. Will all Kristen's work be enough to appease the girls of The Killing Club, and the great god of high school popularity, allowing her to enter the group? The extent of the blood that Kristen wishes to get on her hands will hold the answer. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Chloe Golden.

    Leaving the OCD Circus: Your Best Ticket out of Having to Control Every Little Thing , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 452min
    It's like the meanest, wildest monkey running around my head, constantly looking for ways to bite me. That was how Kirsten Pagacz described her OCD to her therapist on their first session when she was well into her 30s - she'd been following orders from this mean taskmaster for 20 years, without understanding why. Initially the tapping and counting and cleaning and ordering brought her comfort and structure, two things lacking in her family life. But it never lasted; the loathsome self-talk only intensified, and the rituals she had to perform got more bizarre. By high school she was anorexic and a substance abuser - common "shadow syndromes" of OCD. By adulthood she could barely hide her problems and held on to jobs and friends through sheer grit. Help finally came in the form of a miraculously well-timed public service announcement on NPR about OCD. At last her illness had an identity. Leaving the OCD Circus reveals the story of Pagacz's traumatic childhood and the escalation of her disorder, demonstrating how OCD works to misshape a life from a very young age. It also explains the various tools she used for healing, including meditation, cognitive behavioral therapy, yoga, exposure therapy, and medication. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Trapped in Iran: A Mother’s Desperate Journey to Freedom , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 368min
    In 2009, Samieh Hezari made a terrible mistake. She flew from her adopted home of Ireland to her birthplace in Iran so her 14-month-old daughter, Rojha, could be introduced to the child's father. When the violent and unstable father refused to allow his daughter to leave and demanded that Samieh renew their relationship, a two-week holiday became a desperate five-year battle to get her daughter out of Iran. If Samieh could not do so before Rojha turned seven, the father could take sole custody - forever. The father's harassment and threats intensified, eventually resulting in an allegation of adultery that was punishable by stoning, but Samieh - a single mother trapped in a country she saw as restricting the freedom and future of her daughter - never gave up, gaining inspiration from other Iranian women facing similar situations. As both the trial for adultery and her daughter's seventh birthday loomed, the Irish government was unable to help, leaving Samieh to attempt multiple illegal escapes in an unforgettable, epic journey to freedom. Trapped in Iran is the harrowing and emotionally gripping story of how a mother defied a man and a country to win freedom for her daughter. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Necar Zadegan.

    History of the 1950s: InstaRecap , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 35min
    The United States in the 1950s experienced marked economic growth – with an increase in manufacturing and home construction amongst a post–World War II economic expansion. The Cold War and its associated conflicts helped create a politically conservative climate in the country, as the quasi-confrontation intensified throughout the entire decade. Fear of communism caused public Congressional hearings in both houses of Congress while anti-communism was the prevailing sentiment in the United States throughout the period. Conformity and conservatism characterized the social norms of the time. Accordingly, the 1950s in the United States are generally considered both socially conservative and highly materialistic in nature. The 1950s are noted in United States history as a time of compliance, conformity and also, to a lesser extent, of rebellion. Major U.S. events during the decade included: the Korean War (1950–1953); the 1952 election of Second World War hero and retired Army General (United States) Dwight D. Eisenhower as President and his subsequent re-election in 1956; the Red Scare and anti-communist concerns of the McCarthy-era; and the U.S. reaction to the 1957 launch by the Soviet Union of the Sputnik satellite, a major milestone in the Cold War. ungekürzt.

    The Prison Letters of Nelson Mandela , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1212min
    An unforgettable portrait of one of the most inspiring historical figures of the 20th century, published on the centenary of his birth.  Arrested in 1962 as South Africa's apartheid regime intensified its brutal campaign against political opponents, 44-year-old lawyer and African National Congress activist Nelson Mandela had no idea that he would spend the next 27 years in jail. During his 10,052 days of incarceration, Mandela wrote hundreds of letters to unyielding prison authorities, fellow activists, government officials, and, most memorably, his courageous wife, Winnie, and his five children.  Now, 255 of these letters, a majority of which were previously unpublished, provide the most intimate portrait of Mandela since Long Walk to Freedom. Whether writing about the death of his son Thembi after a request to attend the funeral was ignored, providing unwavering support to his also-imprisoned wife, or outlining a human-rights philosophy that resonates today, The Prison Letters of Nelson Mandela reveals the heroism of a man who refused to compromise his moral values in the face of extraordinary human punishment. Ultimately, they position Mandela, along with Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr., among the most inspiring historical figures of the 20th century. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Power of Submission: A Biblical Exposition of Godly Authority in the Trinity, the World, the Family, and the Church , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 544min
    Longtime Pastor John Tebay has been aware, in more than a half century of ministry, that churches can become mired in disputes ranging from petty to major. Many times, these controversies have erupted into pastoral dismissals or resignations, the frequent exodus of congregants, and bitter church splits.Pastor Tebay contends that the vast majority of these quarrels are a result of a lack of clarity concerning godly authority. Is the pastor in charge? Is the congregation in charge? Are the elders in charge? Is a combination of all these factions leading the church?In his timely audiobook, The Power of Submission, John Tebay contends that our permissive culture’s resistance to authority has permeated the Church and that God’s clear principle of authority has become muddled, murky, or ignored. When spiritual authority is unclear, the potential for division, strife, confusion, and darkness among God’s people and the world is highly intensified, always lurking and waiting to erupt.But when God is the source of authority and is applied to the Church, the family, and individuals as laid out in the Bible, you will discover how the “power of submission” can change lives and change the hearts and minds of those in the Church and in church leadership. ungekürzt.

    Shooting Lincoln: Mathew Brady, Alexander Gardner, and the Race to Photograph the Story of the Century , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 458min
    They took the most memorable photographs of the Civil War. Now their long rivalry was about to climax with the spilled blood of an American president - an event that would usher in a new age of modern media. Mathew Brady and Alexander Gardner were the new media moguls of their day. With their photographs they brought the Civil War - and all of its terrible suffering - into Northern living rooms. By the end of the war, they were locked in fierce competition. And when the biggest story of the century happened - the assassination of Abraham Lincoln - their paparazzi-like competition intensified. Brady, nearly blind and hoping to rekindle his wartime photographic magic, and Gardner, his former understudy, raced against each other to the theater where Lincoln was shot, to the autopsy table where Booth was identified, and to the gallows where the conspirators were hanged. Whoever could take the most sensational - or ghastly - photograph would achieve lasting camera-lens fame. Compelling and riveting, Shooting Lincoln tells the astonishing, behind-the-photographs story of these two media pioneers who raced to "shoot" the late president and the condemned conspirators. The photos they took electrified the country, fed America's growing appetite for tabloid-style sensationalism in the news, and built the media we know today.  ungekürzt. Language: English.
