The Pacific Affair , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 566min
We live in a world in crisis. A world where greed turns the wheels of state. A world where environmental concerns take a back seat to the vast machine of global commerce. Billionaire ecophilanthropist Charles Langham is determined to change that. Langham implores the United Nations General Assembly to take a more active role in combating famine and the deforestation of rainforests, reversing extinction rates, and promoting alternative fuels. But this environmental plea has teeth. Langham gives the UN one week to comply, or he will force their hand. US President Mike Read, calling Langham an eco-terrorist, has found the excuse he needs to remove Langham from the equation. Permanently. In Gary Paul Stephenson's gripping thriller, The Pacific Affair, Langham will stand against the might of a nation and uncover whatever sinister forces pull its strings. The second novel in the Charles Langham series, The Atlantic Affair will be available shortly. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ana Auther.

The Dream of You: Let Go of Broken Identities and Live the Life You Were Made For , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 388min
Let's be honest: the life you're leading isn't the one you've always dreamt of. And maybe the person you've become isn't who you imagined you'd be. Sure, you can work longer, love harder, and eat better. You can scrub the surface of your life until it gleams. But that won't address the fact that you've somehow lost sight of who you really are. Working from the core message of Ephesians 1:11, Jo Saxton implores women to reject mistaken identities. Relying on personal stories from her own life, she identifies key scenarios where identities develop that are not true to God's vision, demonstrating the importance of knowing one's name, embracing the gifts you've been given, confronting body issues, managing seasons of depression and grief, and letting go of perfectionism. Through Biblical examination of texts where identities are in question or being developed, she invites listeners to accept being seen and known by a loving God - and to allow their broken stories to become redemptive ones. ungekürzt.
