The Typist: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 259min
Written with the stunning economy of language for which Michael Knight's work has always been praised, The Typist is a rich and powerful work of historical fiction that expertly chronicles both the politics of the Pacific theater of World War II and the personal relationships borne from the tragedies of warfare. When Francis "Van" Vancleave joins the army in 1944, he expects his term of service to pass uneventfully. His singular talent - typing 95 words per minute - keeps him off the battlefield and in General MacArthur's busy Tokyo headquarters, where his days are filled with paperwork in triplicate and letters of dictation. But little does Van know that the first year of the occupation will prove far more volatile for him than for the US Army. When he's bunked with a troubled combat veteran cum black marketer and recruited to babysit MacArthur's eight-year-old son, Van is suddenly tangled in the complex - and risky - personal lives of his compatriots. As he brushes shoulders with panpan girls and Communists on the streets of Tokyo, Van struggles to uphold his convictions in the face of unexpected conflict - especially the startling news from his war bride, a revelation that threatens Van with a kind of war wound he never anticipated. ungekürzt.

Beyond My Wildest Dreams , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 259min
This is an inspirational story of heartbreak, struggle, and relentless parental support for Mike Gibbens, who was born with cerebral palsy. Battling a school system that separated their son from his neighborhood friends while facing financial difficulties from high medical costs, Mike's parents vowed to find a way to improve the situation. As they searched for solutions to seemingly insurmountable problems in a world that wasn't prepared to accept people with disabilities, Ron and Faye Gibbens were instrumental in founding a support group - North Dakota Association for the Disabled (NDAD) - in the early 1970s. With $83.72 in the NDAD bank account, the couple volunteered their spare time, while working full time, to nurture NDAD into a vibrant charitable organization that has since provided more than $56 million in vital disability services not provided by other organizations or agencies. ungekürzt.

C.S. Lewis: Christology and Cosmology, Hörbuch, Digital, 259min
Peek into the mesmerizing imagination of C. S. Lewis with the world's leading authority on the beloved author. With more than 100 million copies printed in 47 languages, The Chronicles of Narnia is one of the best-selling book series ever. Its enduring success is no accident, but rather the result of C.S. Lewis's extraordinary imaginative skill. Few understand the full cosmological and theological depths of Lewis's world. In Christology, Cosmology, and C. S. Lewis, you will discover new dimensions that will enrich your enjoyment of these classic tales. Your presenter is Oxford University's Dr. Michael Ward, an award-winning author whom The Times called "the foremost living Lewis scholar." Dr. Ward's 12 lectures reveal the secret of The Chronicles: a creative plan that is breathtaking in its ingenuity, humility, and spiritual profundity. A literary scholar who worked at Oxford and Cambridge, Lewis loved medieval literature that "at first looks planless, though all is planned." In Narnia, he imitates this example, structuring the series to embody the seven planets of the medieval cosmos. Believing in the importance of hiddenness in literature and theology, Lewis kept secret his imaginative blueprint. Once you unearth the mystery of Narnia, you will find new treasures buried in these magical tales. Looking at Lewis's works with a fresh perspective, you will find their Christian wisdom and brilliant storytelling more intriguing than ever before. Let the creative genius of C. S. Lewis inspire you today. Language: English. Narrator: Michael Ward. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/nykm/000330/bk_nykm_000330_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.- Shop: Audible

Miracle Workers: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 259min
God, bored, decides that Earth has had its day - unless two idealistic angels can make a miracle happen. Welcome to Heaven, Inc., the grossly mismanaged corporation in the sky. For as long as anyone can remember, the founder and CEO (known in some circles as "God") has been phoning it in. Lately, he's been spending most of his time on the golf course. And when he does show up at work, it's not to resolve wars or end famines, but to Google himself and read what humans have been blogging about him. When God decides to retire (to pursue his lifelong dream of opening an Asian Fusion restaurant), he also decides to destroy Earth. His employees take the news in stride, except for Craig and Eliza, two underpaid angels in the lowly Department of Miracles. Unlike their boss, Craig and Eliza love their jobs - uncapping city fire hydrants on hot days, revealing lost keys in snow banks - and they refuse to accept that Earth is going under. The angels manage to strike a deal with their boss. He'll call off his Armageddon if they can solve their toughest miracle yet: getting the two most socially awkward humans on the planet to fall in love. With doomsday fast approaching, and the humans ignoring every chance for happiness thrown their way, Craig and Eliza must move heaven and Earth to rescue them - and the rest of us, too. ungekürzt.

The Myth of Race , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 259min
The Myth of Race deals concisely with a wide range of topics, from how the concept of race differs in different cultures and race relations in the United States, to IQ tests and the census. It draws on scientific knowledge to topple a series of myths that pass as facts, correct false assumptions, and clarify cultural misunderstandings about the highly charged topic of race. The book demonstrates that the apparently straightforward concept of race is actually a confused mixture of two different concepts; and the confusion often leads to miscommunication. The first concept, biological race, simply doesn’t exist in the human species. Instead, what exists is gradual variation in what people look like (e.g., skin color and facial features) and in their genes, as you travel around the planet - with more distant populations appearing more different than closer ones. If you travel in different directions, the populations look different in different ways. The second concept, social race, is a set of cultural categories for labeling people based on how their ancestors were classified, selected aspects of what they look like, or various combinations of both. These sets of categories vary widely from one culture to another. Praise for The Myth of Race comes from former US Secretary of Defense William Cohen, and from anthropologist Audrey Smedley, author of Race in North America. Secretary Cohen said, "Writing with stunning clarity, Dr. Fish poses profound and perturbing questions about race...The Myth of Race is must reading." ungekürzt. Language: English.

DiscipleTrip: Live the Adventure , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 259min
Today's young adults are the most unchurched generation of the last 100 years. In fact, 65% rarely or never attend a religious gathering, 38% admit to praying rarely or never, and 67% rarely or never read the Bible. I believe that it is time for the church to begin to tell a better story about our faith.Do you remember when you said yes to Jesus? Do you remember the joyful urgency that existed deep in your bones?I sure do.I believe that desire is meant to grow stronger as we become more spiritually mature. Jesus didn’t call us to a life of dry religiosity. Nor did he ever intend for our faith be on display on Sunday morning alone.For those of us in Christ, every day is a mission trip. And every relationship is an opportunity to live out the greatest calling of all time: to follow Jesus by leveraging every opportunity to guide others on their journey of life.I believe discipleship is simpler than we may have previously imagined. In fact, I believe maximum impact is as simple as walking in close proximity to Jesus, while in the company of others. We are not an audience, but rather an army. ungekürzt. Language: English.
