A Long Way from Home , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 510min

The true story of two-year-old Anna, abandoned by her natural parents, left alone in a neglected orphanage. Elaine and Ian had travelled halfway round the world to adopt little Anna. She couldn't have been more wanted, loved and cherished. So why was she now in foster care and living with me? It didn't make sense. Until I learned what had happened... Dressed only in nappies and ragged T-shirts, the children were incarcerated in their cots. Their large eyes stared out blankly from emaciated faces. Some were obviously disabled, others not, but all were badly undernourished. Flies circled around the broken ceiling fans and buzzed against the grids covering the windows. The only toys were a few balls and a handful of building bricks, but no child played with them. The silence was deafening and unnatural. Not one of the 30 or so infants cried, let alone spoke. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Denica Fairman. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/hcuk/003282/bk_hcuk_003282_sample.mp3.

Lost and Found , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 292min

On a bright autumn day, Flynn Marlowe lost his best friend, a beagle named Barley, while out on a hike in Seattle’s Discovery Park. On a cold winter day, Mac Bowersox found his best friend, a lost, scared, and emaciated beagle, on the streets of Seattle. Two men. One dog. When Flynn and Mac meet by chance in a park the next summer, there’s a problem—who does Barley really belong to? Flynn wants him back, but he can see that Mac rescued him and loves him just as much as he does. Mac wants to keep the dog, and he can imagine how heartbreaking losing him would be—but that's just what Flynn experienced. A “shared custody” compromise might be just the way to work things out. But will the arrangement be successful? Mac and Flynn are willing to try it—and along the way, they just might fall in love. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Michael Neeb.

Worship: The Reason We Were Created - Collected Insights from A. W. Tozer , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 231min

The best of A. W. Tozer, on one of his favorite subjects. Few subjects invigorated A. W. Tozer like the topic of worship. He saw it - like the church has traditionally - as the sole reason for which creation exists. Worship: The Reason We Were Created features collections from the beloved spiritual writer on this important topic. The church's current worship is emaciated; its thoughts of God are too low. Here is a compilation to raise those thoughts high once more, and provoke the church to true, spiritual worship. Topics include: The act and object of worship The presence of God Worship throughout the week Feelings and emotion in worship Man as a worshipping creature If it's true that we are made to worship God, that it is the sole reason that we exist, that we are most alive when we live for His glory, then listening to Worship is more than time well spent. It is time invested in the very foundation of your life. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Grover Gardner. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/hove/002195/bk_hove_002195_sample.mp3.

Frankenstein , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 23min

Frankenstein begins in epistolary form, documenting the correspondence between Captain Robert Walton and his sister, Margaret Walton Saville. Walton sets out to explore the North Pole and expand his scientific knowledge in hopes of achieving fame and friendship. The ship becomes trapped in ice, and, one day, the crew sees a dog sled in the distance, on which there is the figure of a giant man. Hours later, the crew finds a frozen and emaciated man, Victor Frankenstein, in desperate need of sustenance. Frankenstein had been in pursuit of the gigantic man observed by Walton's crew when all but one of his dogs died. He had broken apart his dog sled to make oars and rowed an ice-raft toward the vessel. Frankenstein starts to recover from his exertion and recounts his story to Walton. Before beginning his story, Frankenstein warns Walton of the wretched effects of allowing ambition to push one to aim beyond what one is capable of achieving. In telling his story to the captain, Frankenstein finds peace within himself. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Matt Montanez.

The Barefoot Road , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 498min

A young woman is found, emaciated and unconscious, in the mountains surrounding a village in Transylvania. When the villagers discover she is of the same ethnic group that was driven out of the region years before, they are reminded of their part in the bloodshed, and old wounds reopen. While the story unfolds in the microcosm of small village in the past, its themes are universal and timeless: the fear of the outsider, the supernatural versus the natural, and the force of desire between a man and a woman."This novel stays with the reader, resounding in the daily news where the fear of what is not understood soon transforms into dogmatism and intolerance." (Dr. Dawn-Michelle Baude, Huffington Post)"This book is poetic and timeless and shows exactly why VIvienne Vermes is an award-winning novelist and poet. It will become a classic of European literature." (Martin S., What's Books)"I would not just recommend this book. I would shout it from the rooftops." (Stephanie Geary, Writing from the Heart) ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Vivienne Vermes. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/205933/bk_acx0_205933_sample.mp3.

Fevered: Why a Hotter Planet Will Hurt Our Health - and How We Can Save Ourselves , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 582min

Beyond images of emaciated polar bears and drought-cracked lakes, there remains a major part of climate change's impact that the media has neglected: how our health will suffer from higher temperatures and extreme weather. From spiraling rates of asthma and allergies and spikes in heatstroke-related deaths to swarms of invasive insects carrying diseases like dengue or West Nile and increases in heart and lung disease and cancer, the effect of rising temperatures on human health will be far-reaching, and is more imminent than we think. Award-winning journalist Linda Marsa blends compelling narrative with cutting-edge science to explore the changes in Earth's increasingly fragile support system and provide a blueprint - a "medical Manhattan Project" - detailing what we need to do to protect ourselves from this imminent medical meltdown. In the tradition of Rachel Carson's Silent Spring, Marsa sounds the alarm on a subject that has largely been ignored by governments and policy makers, and persuasively argues why preparedness for the health effects of climate change is the most critical issue affecting our survival in the coming century. ungekürzt.

Airplane Boys in the Black Woods (1930) is an adventure novel for children by E. J. Craine.Excerpt from the book:"Holy Clover, that fellow would make his fortune in a dairy, all right," exclaimed Bob Caldwell. "His fortune, how do you make that out?" Jim Austin demanded. "I'll bite, let’s have the answer." "He'd do the biting - that one tooth ought to be great to make holes in Swiss cheese!" "If I didn’t need both hands you would get a wallop that would leave you only one tooth, then you could start competition," Austin answered. "Well," he added, "this sure looks as if you will find enough different kinds of vegetation, old Horticulturer, may your tribe increase." "Sure does," replied Bob. "Wonder who dropped that one-toother down in this place." The one-toother was a tall, emaciated, dark-skinned individual whose age was in the neighborhood of two hundred. His lips were thick, his huge mouth was wide open and from the upper jaw was the lone tooth. Language: English. Narrator: Helen Smith.
