Good Boy: Theta Alpha Gamma, Book 4 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 115min, (USK 18)
Brad "Frat Boy" Feller and Sebastian "Toppy" DeWitt have been together for nine months, and their relationship is as hot as ever. The only cloud Brad sees on their horizon is Sebastian's stress over his thesis. And their uncertain future together after graduation. And how Sebastian sometimes takes Brad for granted. And Sebastian's unwillingness to introduce Brad to his father. Other than that, everything's awesome. All of Sebastian's energy is currently devoted to his thesis, and getting into a top-notch PhD program. Fortunately, his boyfriend takes care of all the domestic stuff and Sebastian's needs. Any minor strain between them will disappear and they'll return to the status quo after Sebastian graduates. As long as nothing upsets their delicate balance in the meantime. Then a friend Brad once had a small fling with is forced to take refuge with them, and Frat Boy and Toppy's delicate balance topples like an elephant on a waterski. Now Sebastian has to face some truths about how he's been treating Brad, what he wants for their future, and what he has to do to get it. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Nick J. Russo.

What the Bible Says About The Future , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 67min
The future is the great unknown. While we may think we have a pretty good idea about what might happen in certain situations, such as when two sports teams play and one is heavily favored over the other, we can't be sure upsets occur that's why they play the game. Many future scenarios are much more serious, of course, and can produce nervousness, stress, or fear. We might wonder, for example, about world events that seem totally out of our control, including the economy, weather, and war. Or our concerns about helplessness could be much more personal: a biopsy report, a job interview, a promising relationship, a trip into a dangerous area. The Bible has much to say about the future and how we approach it. We know very little about what will happen next, and we certainly have virtually no control over future events but God does. So consulting Gods Word on this topic makes a lot of sense. This CD will help you understand what the Bible says about the future and how to face it. The first truth we discover is that God is in control. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sharon Clausen. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/oasi/000656/bk_oasi_000656_sample.mp3.

Stay Hidden , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 634min
In Paul Doiron's Stay Hidden, a supposed hunting accident becomes a dangerously complicated murder investigation in this intricately-plotted new audiobook thriller featuring Maine Game Warden Mike Bowditch. A woman has been shot to death by a deer hunter on an island off the coast of Maine. To newly promoted Warden Investigator Mike Bowditch, the case seems open and shut. But as soon as he arrives on remote Maquoit Island he discovers mysteries piling up one on top of the other. The hunter now claims he didn’t fire the fatal shot and the ballistic evidence proves he’s telling the truth. Bowditch begins to suspect the secretive community might be covering up the identity of whoever killed Ariel Evans. The controversial author was supposedly writing a book about the island's notorious hermit. So why are there no notes in her rented cottage? The biggest blow comes the next day when the weekly ferry arrives and off steps the dead woman herself. Ariel Evans is alive, well, and determined to solve her own “murder” even if it upsets Mike Bowditch’s investigation and makes them both targets of an elusive killer who will do anything to conceal his crimes. ungekürzt.

The Road to Unfreedom: Russia, Europe, America , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 610min
With the end of the Cold War, the victory of liberal democracy was thought to be absolute. Observers declared the end of history, confident in a peaceful, globalized future. But we now know this to be premature. Authoritarianism first returned in Russia, as Putin developed a political system dedicated solely to the consolidation and exercise of power. In the last six years, it has creeped from east to west as nationalism inflames Europe, abetted by Russian propaganda and cyberwarfare. While countries like Poland and Hungary have made hard turns toward authoritarianism, the electoral upsets of 2016 revealed the citizens of the US and UK in revolt against their countries’ longstanding policies and values.But this threat to the West also presents the opportunity to better understand the pillars of our own political order. In this forceful and unsparing work of contemporary history, Snyder goes beyond the headlines to expose the true nature of the threat to democracy. By showcasing the stark choices before us - between equality or oligarchy, individuality or totality, truth and falsehood - Snyder restores our understanding of the basis of our way of life, offering a way forward in a time of terrible uncertainty. ungekürzt.

Eli Manning: The Making of a Quarterback: The Incredible Rise of the New York Giants , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 539min
MoWith Manning, the Super Bowl MVP, as its focal point, New York Daily News Giants beat writer Ralph Vacchiano’s Eli Manning: The Making of a Quarterback is a fascinating insider’s look at the National Football League, how stars are made and crushed, and how fortunes are won and lost on the performance of one man: the quarterback. From the bold draft day trade that brought Manning to New York, through his dramatic ups and downs on and off the field, his first training camp to his last-minute heroics in Super Bowl XLII, Vacchiano takes a candid and revealing look at the people and events that made Manning’s and his 2007 Giants’ success one of the greatest stories in modern sports history. Complete with exclusive interviews with NFL stars, coaches, and executives and a foreword by former Giants general manager Ernie Accorsi, Vacchiano uses his unfettered access to the world champion Giants to present a true, behind-the scenes look at the quarterback and team that defied all of the experts and oddsmakers to pull off one of the most phenomenal upsets in pro football history. ungekürzt.

20/20 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 42min
We all think we want 20/20 vision, don't we? But in the metaphysical and psychological realms we often prefer our accustomed blindness. It's far more comfortable. Here are two stories that take a close, 20/20 look at these things. "The Thanatos Solution"Just a few years down the road, the new health-care plan is firmly entrenched. A new bill, Ethical Assessment of End-of Life Care, has also been enacted into law. And the authorities are ruthlessly implementing it throughout the land - no more medical resources wasted on the defective and dying, equitable distribution of quality medical care, no more lingering half-lives sustained by expensive machinery. The Thanatos Solution has arrived. But there are, as always, unexpected ramifications, especially for those who wanted it. "Elmore's Accident" It was that most loathsome of all things: an uncanny, routine-disrupting inconvenience and anomaly. That's what, as the result of an unforeseen event, unexpectedly invades and upsets Elmore Wiggins' safely ordered life. For Elmore had never reckoned on the paranormal or the preternatural. But now that he's had his accident, he is "seeing" certain events in the near future – including his own (although he doesn't know it yet). ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jay Wohlert.

Lemon Tart Mystery: Amish Sweet Shop Mystery Series, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 130min
In the small town of Abbott Creek, mystery is as much a part of daily life as The Sweet Shop's sugar cookies. With the upheaval of spring comes a whole new batch of arguments and upsets. Amelia Simpkins may be a great cook, and have a head for business, but sweet treats are out of her league and the owner of the Irish Blessings Cafe says it's because she adds the tart to the Sweet Shop's new dessert that Katie Chupp insists is only filled with lemony goodness. The two shop owners' constant bickering sends sparks flying through Abbott Creek's usual calm...and this is one mystery Katie wants no part of, but working for Mrs. Simpkins may put her in the middle - whether she intends to take sides...or not. And, when the Yoder and Davis families collide on some rather sensitive issues, bringing things to light that two certain young people would rather keep hidden away, Travis may have to face up to the truth about his feelings for a certain young woman - and all that goes along with those feelings. Book 3 of the Sweet Shop Mysteries series.And watch for book 4 in the series - Pumpkin Pie Mystery - COMING SOON! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Janelle Woodyard.
