    The Devil in DC: Winning Back the Country from the Beast in Washington , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 522min
    Government intrusion into our private lives is at an all-time high: unfettered surveillance, massive entitlement programs to redistribute wealth, unelected activist judges trampling religious freedom. The Founding Fathers said our nation demanded a moral, educated, and principled populace to keep elected officials in check, to keep our government and culture clean and free of degrading forces, and to maintain its foundational core values. Today we see what happens when unchecked, greedy, self-serving utopian politicians get the free run of Washington. What can you do about it? The Devil in DC provides more than a dozen different ideas on how to turn back Big Government, stressing the importance of: Knowing the Constitution Getting out of debt Holding elected leaders accountable Voting, volunteering, and running for office Standing fast in the face of the progressive onslaught Confessing, repenting, and praying The Bible teaches of "a time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace" (Ecclesiastes 3:8). Right now, with chaos and turmoil increasingly engulfing America, this is a time to fight - by following the battle plan in The Devil in DC. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Suzanne Chambers.

    Four from Mangrove: Tales of Swords and Sorcery , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 118min
    Four from Mangrove is a four-story collection, all involving different aspects of the city-nation of Mangrove. The audiobook is a classic fantasy, sword, sorcery tale.Once, there was a land like no other. It was a city-state, a nation. The reach of its rulers sometimes spanned continents, and at other times reached no farther than the walls of a war-torn palace.Giants lived in Mangrove - powerful kings and generals who ruled all within their sight; and lands far beyond. And it gave birth to the least of us - powerless serfs and homeless orphans who begged for the smallest coins. In times of greatness its armies plundered far and wide, trampling everything and everyone before them. And in days of despair its soldiers died in vain defending the gates.Its art and its technology and the skill of its wizards were unsurpassed. The books in its libraries and the men who put spells to parchment all burned together.Mangrove lived and thrived and its people strode across the planet. Mangrove died and was forgotten and no one remembered much about it, unless it was in legends and tales told to frighten unruly children or to satisfy curious sages.Mangrove lives, in dreams.Here, then, are four...four from Mangrove. ungekürzt.

    The Find , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 569min
    The nation is safe. Its people are surviving. But at what cost and for how long? Piecing together the remnants of a defunct psychic research program, a brilliant but heinous antiterrorist group searches for unique candidates, employing a government black ops force to hunt and enlist individuals predisposed to psychic abilities. In pursuit of two very different missing persons, ex-FBI man Kellen Rand and broadcast executive Lorna Novak merge unexpectedly in a race to find answers, revealing difficult truths along the way. As Lorna searches for her abducted 12-year-old niece, Kellen tracks down a missing Indian shaman named January, whose exceptional abilities may be the key to saving millions of lives. Trampling civil rights for the sake of the nation's survival, this "end justifies the means" conspiracy is delicately intertwined with January's fascination with an elusive hidden relic hidden for centuries somewhere in the San Juan Islands - a relic that may have shocking universal significance. With their paths colliding once more and their lives rapidly transforming, Kellen and Lorna must defeat the veiled yet powerful schemes of this brewing crisis as scientists prey on the minds of the innocent, archeologists rush to unravel an ancient mystery, and the listener, along with the rest of the world, awaits the startling revelations of The Find. ungekürzt.

    Living with Intent: My Somewhat Messy Journey to Purpose, Peace, and Joy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 334min
    “I’m trying to meditate one day but urgent thoughts keep intruding. Don’t forget to take cupcakes to school! I have to prepare for my presentation for the wellness conference! Is that lunch with the other moms tomorrow or next week? My to-do list is stampeding through my mind, trampling any chance of tranquility. I feel overwhelmed, yes, but there’s more: I feel…guilty. Guilty that I’m taking on too much, guilty that I’m not doing anything well, guilty that I’m giving short shift to my kids, my husband, my job. And what about you, Mallika? a quiet voice asks. How are you shortchanging yourself?” Living with Intent is a chronicle of Mallika Chopra’s search to find more meaning, joy, and balance in life. She hopes that by telling her story, she can inspire others with her own successes (and failures) as well as share some of the wisdom she has gathered from friends, experts, and family along the way — people like her dad, Deepak, as well as Eckhart Tolle, Marianne Williamson, Arianna Huffington, Andrew Weil, and Dan Siegel. She also provides a practical road map for how we can all move from thought to action to outcome. Each chapter is devoted to one step on her journey and another piece of her INTENT action plan: Incubate, Notice, Trust, Express, Nurture, and Take Action. Chopra’s insights and advice will help us all come closer to fully living the lives we truly intend.  ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mallika Chopra.

    Border Patrol Nation: Dispatches from the Front Lines of Homeland Security , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 608min
    In his scathing and deeply reported examination of the US Border Patrol, Todd Miller argues that the agency has gone rogue since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, trampling on the dignity and rights of the undocumented with military-style tactics....Miller's book arrives at a moment when it appears that part of the Homeland Security apparatus is backpedaling by promising to tone down its tactics, maybe prodded by investigative journalism, maybe by the revelations of NSA leaker Edward Snowden.... Border Patrol is quite possibly the right book at the right time.... (Tony Perry, Los Angeles Times) "At the start of his unsettling and important new book, Border Patrol Nation, Miller observes that these days 'it is common to see the Border Patrol in places - such as Erie, Pennsylvania; Rochester, New York; or Forks, Washington - where only 15 years ago it would have seemed far-fetched, if not unfathomable.” (Barbara Spindel, Christian Science Monitor) "Miller’s approach in Border Patrol Nation is to offer a glimpse into the secretive operations of the Border Patrol, reporting with a journalist’s objectivity and nose for a good story. Miller’s book is full of facts, and it’s clear he’s outraged, but he gives voices to people on every side of the issue … Miller’s book is a fascinating read...and bring the work of Susan Orlean to mind." (Amanda Eyre Ward, Kirkus Reviews) Armed authorities watch from a military-grade surveillance tower as lines of people stream toward the security checkpoint, tickets in hand, anxious and excited to get through the gate. Few seem to notice or care that the US Border Patrol is monitoring the Super Bowl, as they have for years, one of the many ways that forces created to police the borders are now being used, in an increasingly militarized fashion, to survey and monitor the whole of American society. In fast-paced prose, Todd Miller sounds an alarm as he chronicles th ungekürzt.

    World Without Mind: The Existential Threat of Big Tech , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 481min
    A New York Times Book Review Notable Book of 2017Franklin Foer reveals the existential threat posed by big tech, and in his brilliant polemic gives us the toolkit to fight their pervasive influence.Over the past few decades, there has been a revolution in terms of who controls knowledge and information. This rapid change has imperiled the way we think. Without pausing to consider the cost, the world has rushed to embrace the products and services of four titanic corporations. We shop with Amazon; socialize on Facebook; turn to Apple for entertainment; and rely on Google for information. These firms sell their efficiency and purport to make the world a better place, but what they have done instead is to enable an intoxicating level of daily convenience. As these companies have expanded, marketing themselves as champions of individuality and pluralism, their algorithms have pressed us into conformity and laid waste to privacy. They have produced an unstable and narrow culture of misinformation, and put us on a path to a world without private contemplation, autonomous thought, or solitary introspection - a world without mind. In order to restore our inner lives, we must avoid being coopted by these gigantic companies, and understand the ideas that underpin their success.Elegantly tracing the intellectual history of computer science - from Descartes and the enlightenment to Alan Turing to Stewart Brand and the hippie origins of today's Silicon Valley - Foer exposes the dark underpinnings of our most idealistic dreams for technology. The corporate ambitions of Google, Facebook, Apple, and Amazon, he argues, are trampling longstanding liberal values, especially intellectual property and privacy. This is a nascent stage in the total automation and homogenization of social, political, and intellectual life. By reclaiming our private authority over how we intellectually engage with the world, we have the power to ste ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Marc Cashman.
