A Bigger Table , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 392min
No one likes to eat alone; to approach a table filled with people, only to be told that despite the open chairs there isn't room for you. The rejection stings. It leaves a mark. Yet this is exactly what the church has been saying to far too many people for far too long: "You're not welcome here. Find someplace else to sit." How can we extend unconditional welcome and acceptance in a world increasingly marked by bigotry, fear, and exclusion? Pastor John Pavlovitz invites listeners to join him on the journey to find or build a church that is big enough for everyone. He speaks clearly into the heart of the issues the Christian community has been earnestly wrestling with: LGBT inclusion, gender equality, racial tensions, and global concerns. A Bigger Table: Building Messy, Authentic, Hopeful Spiritual Community asks if organized Christianity can find a new way of faithfully continuing the work Jesus began 2,000 years ago, where everyone gets a seat. Pavlovitz shares moving personal stories and his careful observations as a pastor to set the table for a new, more loving conversation on these and other important matters of faith. He invites us to build the bigger table Jesus imagined, practicing radical hospitality, total authenticity, messy diversity, and agenda-free community. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Becoming a Powerful Christian: 7 Secrets to a Life of Miracles and Answered Prayer , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 318min
DO YOU FEEL LIKE GOD NEVER HEARS YOUR PRAYERS? This powerful yet simple book tells how to tap into God's power, get prayers answered, and see miracles in your life. It explains why God's power is foreign to you and why God earnestly desires for you to use his power. This book reveals seven secrets plainly taught in the Bible but rarely taught today. I was a weak, powerless Christian needing answers. Does God randomly pick certain people? Do I have to be super spiritual? Is it for those who prove good enough, read the Bible the most, or prayer longer than others? Turns out, God wanted/needed me to know the truth. The answer shocked me. More shocking is that it is not being taught today.In two decades walking in God's power and teaching this amazing truth to others, I've seen tremendous miracles. Every member of my house experiences God's power, and many regular people (just like you and me) walk in the power once they learn the secrets. They are no longer victims of fate, but respond to life's circumstances with God's perspective, enjoying miracles and answered prayers. With these seven secrets, you will finally see prayers answered ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Marjorie Lou.

Never Enough , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 556min
I've been clean for months, but my record company's not satisfied. Apparently it isn't enough to only kick a heroin addiction - they're insisting that I find a girlfriend as well. If I don't, they pull Dirtshine's massive record deal. It's supposed to show that I've changed my ways, that I've turned over a new leaf, all that rubbish. But I've had it with suit-wearing wankers telling me what I'm to do, so I'm on the verge of telling them to go f--k themselves. And then she shows up. Marisol locks me out of my own concert by accident. She's wearing a suit at a rock show, searching for her lost law school textbook, has no idea who I am, and for the first time in years, I'm hooked. She's smart, driven, and utterly gorgeous. The sort of girl who earnestly believes in following the rules and hates when others don't. I'm a huge rock star, recovering addict, and general f--kup. Our relationship is for show and that's all. But with every smile, every laugh, and every breathtaking glance at her curves, I want her more. Two months is all we agreed to. But it's never going to be enough. Contains mature themes. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Matthew Lloyd Davies, Tatiana Sokolov.

My Life on the Swingset: Adventures in Swinging & Polyamory , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 473min, (USK 18)
Starting with a first date with a couple of swingers; followed by working through social anxiety and shyness; recognizing the importance of touch in life; evolving feelings about love and expectations; having threesomes, orgies, and prostate orgasms; going through a divorce; and leveling up in life and sexuality. For five years, Cooper S. Beckett has written for Life on the Swingset. The website was born out of the feeling that he'd learned enough in his whole year of swinging to tell other people how to live their nonmonogamous lives. His hubris can be seen from space. Here, he has collected personal essays, stories, erotica, and prescriptive how-tos into this memoir of his life, My Life on the Swingset. He may be biased when it comes to swinging, polyamory, and other forms of ethical nonmonogamy (in fact, he most certainly is), but he doesn't sugarcoat it. He speaks honestly and earnestly about a unique way to live life, one that allows for sexual and loving growth and experimentation, a strong sense of community, and the ability to do what we all crave, whether we know it or not: to be honest with ourselves and others about what we want sexually. And out of life. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Cooper S. Beckett. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/039934/bk_acx0_039934_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.- Shop: Audible

Becoming a Man of Unwavering Faith , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 224min
During the course of his 60-year ministry, John Osteen combined an extraordinary love for people with a vision for ministry best described in his own words: "No limits". This volume not only includes content from John's sermon transcripts, but also a foreword and commentary written by his son, Joel. The principles of this "no limits" faith here come alive again for a new generation. For the moments of struggle and temptation that every man faces, and the times in life when he feels surrounded and under attack, John's message is profoundly simple - those moments are precisely the time for an unwavering faith. In this book, John schools today's believers in seven qualities of unwavering faith: It hears and sees what the world cannot see or hear. It prays earnestly, even though it has already heard the answer. It is strong when there is no evidence of the answer. It always says, "Go Again!" It goes on when there's just a little evidence. It believes for the big when it sees the little. It begins with nothing but ends up doing mighty things for God. Osteen also provides principles for those times when faith doesn't seem to be working. Becoming a Man of Unwavering Faith is a guidebook to stronger faith, from a man who spent a lifetime testing its limits. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Paul Osteen.

White Choctaw , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 56min
Two early 19th century Methodist missionaries ventured out into Choctaw territory from Memphis, Tennessee. They were never seen again. Others tried entering from the Tombigbee River. They did return but vowed to never again go there. Still another tried but returned after two years with nothing to show for his efforts.Alexander Talley - missionary, minister, physician - proved to be a very special missionary; he was uniquely qualified and fully prepared to take the Gospel of Jesus westward to the Indians and the adventurous settlers.Alexander saddled his horse, loaded his belongings - pack, tent, books - and praying earnestly, "Lord, if you have confidence in calling me to do this work, I have confidence you will show me the way," he crossed the river into a dark, foreboding forest. Riding westward, he wondered how he could bring love, hope, and salvation to people who did not know him, could not read a Bible, and did not speak his language. Alexander had been singled out as the only man who stood a chance of accomplishing this daunting mission.This is Alexander Talley’s story: how he rode a circuit covering more than 400 miles, held camp meetings for Indians and white settlers, won more than 3,200 converts to Christianity, and faithfully shepherded people desperately in need of compassionate leadership in the face of encroaching greed and malice. ungekürzt.

A twisty, powerful tale of an idealistic young lawyer assigned to defend a childhood acquaintance from a murder charge, all while facing personal tragedies of his own. After the narrator is forced to resign his position as a Navy JAG, he takes a position as a criminal defense attorney with a charismatic county public defender known for reckless behavior. When his boss dies in a car accident, Narrator is left alone to continue taking on clients. Shortly thereafter, he's assigned the case of Scotty Watts, a high-school classmate charged with murder. Scotty was found mopping up a pool of blood on the floor of his cabin and doesn't remember anything about the evening in question. As Narrator earnestly works the case, his mind starts to unravel, and visions begin to distort his reality. With his client refusing to plead guilty, the narrator pulls every loose thread on the case to determine the truth of what happened, and what he finds shocks him to the core. Filled with conspiracy theories, twists, turns, and 11th-hour evidentiary discoveries, More Than One Truth is a unique story about shattered idealism, the conflicted emotional bond to the place we call home, and the pernicious effect of loneliness. ungekürzt.

Inclusive Conversations: Fostering Equity, Empathy, and Belonging Across Differences , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 311min
What is impressive is not only how Winters builds a case for the urgency and need for bold, inclusive conversations but that she also gives specific strategies and competencies to turn her theory into practice.” (Dr. Sheila Robinson, publisher and CEO, Diversity Woman Media)Effective dialogue across different dimensions of diversity, such as race, gender, age, religion, or sexual orientation, fosters a sense of belonging and inclusion, which in turn leads to greater productivity, performance, and innovation. Whether in the workplace, faith communities, or educational settings, our differences can tear us apart rather than bring us together if we do not know how to communicate. Recognizing our collective responsibility to earnestly address our differences and increase understanding and empathy will not only enhance organizational goals but will also lead to a healthier, kinder, and more compassionate world.Award-winning diversity, equity, and inclusion consultant Mary-Frances Winters has been leading workshops on what she calls Bold, Inclusive Conversations for years. In this book she offers specific dialogue strategies to foster greater understanding on the following topics:Recognizing the importance of creating equity and sharing powerDealing with the fragility" of dominant groups - their discomfort in engaging with historically subordinated groupsAddressing the exhaustion historically marginalized groups feel from constantly explaining their different lived experienceExploring how to build trust and create psychologically safe spaces for dialogueThis guide is comprehensive for anyone who wants to break down the barriers that separate us and facilitate discussions on potentially polarizing topics. ungekürzt.

Hell! Said the Duchess , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 172min
A female killer stalks the streets of London, sleeping with young men before slashing their throats and mutilating their bodies. The crimes have baffled the police and enraged Londoners, who demand the murderer's arrest. Mary, Duchess of Dove, a gentle young widow who is beloved by all who know her, seems an unlikely suspect, but the clues all point to her. The police have a variety of theories - perhaps the Duchess has been hypnotized or drugged, maybe she has an evil double, or could it be a Communist plot to discredit the peerage? Inspector Basil Icelin is determined to solve the mystery, but the true explanation is far more shocking and terrifying than anyone could ever imagine. Michael Arlen (1895-1956) became a rich and world-famous celebrity after the publication of his best seller The Green Hat in 1924. Hell! Said the Duchess (1934) is a delightfully bizarre book, telling a "bedtime story" in a light, humorous style that contrasts oddly with its gruesome and horrific subject matter. "It belongs to those short, perfect books that are rarely written in English." (Evening Standard)"[T]his extremely odd performance is indicative of great power." (Gerald Gould, The Observer)"[A] right intriguing comedy and mystery. As entertainment during your insomnia, it is earnestly recommended." (Milwaukee Journal)"[A] perfect masterpiece of hair-raising horror. It may offend some of its readers, but it will not bore them." (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette) ungekürzt. Language: English.
