    Kierkegaard and the Question Concerning Technology (eBook, ePUB)
    Over the last several decades, technology has emerged as an important area of interest for both philosophers and theologians. Yet, despite his status as one of modernity's seminal thinkers, Søren Kierkegaard is not often seen as one who contributed to the field. Kierkegaard and the Question Concerning Technology argues otherwise. Christopher B. Barnett shows that many of Kierkegaard's criticisms of "the present age" relate to the increasing dominance of technology in the West, and he puts Kierkegaard's thought in conversation with subsequent thinkers who grappled with technological issues, from Martin Heidegger to Thomas Merton. Barnett shows that Kierkegaard's writing, with its marked emphases on personal "upbuilding," stands as a place where deeper, non-technical modes of thinking are both commended and nurtured. In doing so, Barnett presents a Kierkegaard who remains relevant--perhaps all too relevant--in today's digital age.

    There Is No God and He Is Always with You: A Search for God in Odd Places , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 433min
    Can you be an atheist and still believe in God? Can you be a true believer and still doubt? Can Zen give us a way past our constant fighting about God? Brad Warner was initially interested in Buddhism because he wanted to find God, but Buddhism is usually thought of as godless. In the three decades since Warner began studying Zen, he has grappled with paradoxical questions about God and managed to come up with some answers. In this fascinating search for a way beyond the usual arguments between fundamentalists and skeptics, Warner offers a profoundly engaging and idiosyncratic take on the ineffable power of the "ground of all being." ungekürzt.

    The Yellow Kids: Foreign Correspondents in the Heyday of Yellow Journalism , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 824min
    The amazing story behind the greatest newspaper men to ever live, Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst, lies primarily hidden with their reporters who were in the field. They risked their lives in Cuba as the country grappled for independence simply to “get the story” and write what was not always the most accurate story, but definitely the best. Anything to sell papers. Reporters like Harry Scovel, Stephen Crane, Cora Taylor, Richard Harding Davis, and James Creelman, among others, put themselves in danger every day just for the news. The Yellow Kids is an adventure story packed with engaging characters, witticism, humor and adversity, to reveal that the “yellow” found in journalism was often an extra ingredient applied by editors and publishers in New York. ungekürzt.

    On the Incarnation of the Word of God , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 156min
    Nothing except the Resurrection of Jesus Christ is a greater miracle or wonder in human history. God becoming flesh in human history is the greatest marvel. Avatar is what this is called in Hindu religious tradition. Jesus of Nazareth was foretold in the Torah and the Prophets centuries before his appearance and he was proved to be real and not a pretender due to his death and Resurrection. The early church grappled with all of this intellectually. Many heresies were confronted, answered, and dismissed. Throughout the 2000 plus years of church history, many of the early church heresies have reappeared over and over again. Whether you are Catholic or Protestant the answers are from the Word of God. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Korbid Thompson.

    Cottonwood Creek, Hörbuch, Digital, 143min
    Writer Lyz Lenz lives in Iowa, but she was raised in a small town in Texas, and her Audible Original Cottonwood Creek explores her funny and emotional memories of her life as a homeschooled evangelical girl in a large family of eight children. Growing up, Lenz and her family fervently believed that the rapture was coming, maybe any day now, and she and her siblings spent their days - which for all they knew could have been their last on earth - exploring the woods near their home, conjuring playtime fantasies, and testing the limits of their imaginations. As her parents grappled with unemployment, a crumbling marriage, and the pressures of the adult world, Lenz learned what it means to leave childhood behind and how to hold on to the things that really matter.

    Orientalism, Occidentalism and Discourse of Modernity and Tradition
    The book probes into contemporary Arab-Islamic thought on the question of tradition and modernity, continuity and renewal. It seeks to document significant contributions and philosophical underpinnings of some influential Arab-Muslim intellectuals in the last four decades. Their works center on the question of al-Nahda (the renaissance), modernity and how to handle the Arab- Islamic Turath(Tradition). These questions are still predominant in the contemporary imagining of intellectuals from different schools of thought, using different methodologies and models of thought. The book uses primary material from their works to explore modernity in a variety of discourses, dominant and marginalized, Islamist and non- Islamist. The religious and secular paradigmatic approaches have been in constant fissure and friction in their contests and contestations in the hermeneutics of Islam. In restricting the temporal frame of reference by narrowing its focus to discuss the approaches of four contemporary thinkers, it looks at the way these scholars have grappled this problematic using different methodologies and models of thought.

    My Name Was Susan O'Malley (eBook, ePUB)
    Mags and her husband, Tom, are living a lie, hiding behind the facade of a happy, well-adjusted family. But something, someone, lingers in the background, just out of reach. When the brother of Tom's first love and Mag's best friend, Susan O'Malley, brings fresh news forty years after Susan's death, Tom and Mags begin to confront the ghosts of memory and guilt. At times written in a stream of consciousness style, My Name Was Susan O'Malleyexplores the love and loss of those left behind - the collateral damage. In 1977, Susan O'Malley suffers from "disease of the mind." Like many who grappled with mental illness in the twentieth century, her voice is largely silent, yet even after her death, remains a lingering, often combative, presence in the lives of her closest friends. Forty years later, Tom, the drunk, Mags, the enabler and Susan, the memory, revisit the agony of shock therapy and its indelible effect on their lives.

    Making Modern Love: Sexual Narratives and Identities in Interwar Britain: Sexuality Studies , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 595min
    After the Great War, British men and women grappled with their ignorance about sexuality and desire. Seeking advice and information from doctors, magazines, and each other, they wrote tens of thousands of letters about themselves as sexual subjects. In these letters, they disclosed their uncertainties, their behaviors, and the role of sexuality in their lives. Their fascinating narratives tell how people sought to unleash their imaginations and fashion new identities.Making Modern Love shows how readers embraced popular media self-help books, fetish magazines, and advice columns as a source of information about sexuality and a means for telling their own stories. From longings for transcendent marital union to fantasies of fetish wear, cross-dressing, and whipping, men and women revealed a surprising range of desires and behaviors (queer and otherwise) that have been largely disregarded until now. ungekürzt.

    Eureka! : The Science and Art of Insights , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 295min
    Arriving at a clear and powerful insight is harder than it seems. Our pattern-making brains are subject to many biases. We can’t see our blind spots and are often led down the wrong path by tunnel vision. As an industry we don’t think much about how we arrive at an insight; we just do some analysis and assume it’s the best it can be. But is it? Intelligence analysts, doctors, detectives, lawyers, psychologists, and other sense-makers have grappled with questions of cognitive bias and misperception and how these limitations affect their insights. This book explores the steps other sense-makers have taken to combat their biases and blind spots. Their discoveries provide clear direction on how to elevate the quality and consistency of our insights. See further by standing on the shoulders of these giants. ungekürzt. Language: English.
