Stoplight

Coldwater , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 470min

Having forfeited his youth to the state prison system, Michael moved back to the only home he'd ever known. An empty shell of a man now lived - if it could be called living - in the still-vacant house of his parents in a town with one stoplight. A town that hated him. Had always hated him. And was ready to pick up where the prison system had left off. Now he's on the run from men who've tried to kill him once; but Michael is more than an ex-con. A powerful, sinister force creeps inside him, threatening and destructive. Who - and what - it will destroy next is the only real question. From the bold voice that brought listeners down Purgatory Road comes a new pulse-pounding, spine-rattling tale of vengeance and justice that will have them up all night. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Sweet Nothing: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 569min

It is enough to break any man: watching what could have been my future slip away before it was ever in my grasp. The possibility of losing someone I loved before she was even mine is something I never would have imagined. Certainly nothing I'd ever wish on anyone. I go to her every day and wait. Wait for the impossible, for a sign, for her to look at me...hoping that sinners are granted miracles, too. Just one glimpse of him was all it took. In the next lane at a stoplight was the man I would fall in love with and marry. People talk about the kind of love that takes time, love you fall into. We were more like a crash and burn, and when our lives intertwined I would never be the same. He was the man I would cherish the rest of my life, who would father my children. In an instant our life together began, and in an instant it would end. The late nights; the excuses; the lies. And in the blink of an eye, it was like we never were. Contains mature themes. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Nelson Hobbs, Carly Robins. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/tant/005882/bk_tant_005882_sample.mp3.

Ain't He Precious? , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 272min

Welcome to Whynot, North Carolina, population 3,872. It has one stoplight, one bar, and the one and only Trixie Mancinkus. Eleven years ago, Trixie graduated Harvard Law, turned down a job offer from one of the most prestigious law firms in Boston, and headed home to Whynot to open her own firm. Not only did she leave behind the big city, but she also left her boyfriend of three years. And just so we’re clear...that would be me. So what am I doing in Whynot at this very moment? It seems Trixie needs help with a legal case, and for some insane reason, she called on me for assistance. I’ve been in town for five minutes, and I’m every bit as out of place as I feel. Trixie is all sweet, Southern curves to my tailored suits and high-priced haircuts. It’s a culture clash of North versus South, and about the only thing we have in common is our physical attraction to each other. But I have a new motto since coming to Whynot: When life hands you lemons, all you need is a little sex and sweet tea to make things better. ungekürzt. Language: English.

A World Made for Money: Economy, Geography, and the Way We Live Today , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 992min

A spirited and incisive survey of economic geography, A World Made for Money begins with the author stopped at a red light in Norman, Oklahoma. Observing the landscape of drugstores and banks, and for that matter the stoplight and roads themselves, Bret Wallach observes, "Everything I see has been built to make money" or, at the very least, to facilitate making money. This, he argues, is a global phenomenon that nonetheless has occurred only within the past hundred years or so. A World Made for Money provides a compelling, condensed tour of our world. From Silicon Valley to Sri Lanka, from post-Soviet Russia to post-apartheid South Africa, Wallach looks at how human beings are buying, manufacturing, working, growing, and shipping food, and accessing the natural resources to fuel it all. These essential facets of daily life, propelled by the profit motive, represent a transnational force shaping our surroundings and environment in ways that may not always be beautiful (or even healthy) but that are fundamental to understanding how the world works in the 21st century. Wallach examines the relationship between acquisitiveness and landscape, reveals surprising contradictions and nuances, and provides fresh perspective on politically charged topics such as sprawl, deindustrialization, and agribusiness. The book is published by University of Nebraska Press. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Paul Dandridge. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/096265/bk_acx0_096265_sample.mp3.

Developing Success, Motivation & Inspiration , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 7min

Developing Success, Motivation & Inspiration tells my personal story as an entrepreneur, a young CEO, and inventor. By age 25, I was running many successful businesses and felt like I had life figured out. I was creating success in spite of struggles while fighting Type 1 diabetes and frequent seizures. Then it all came crashing down when I found out I had terminal brain cancer. I lost everything: my businesses, my friends, and the ability to ride my new motorcycle. I ended up sleeping on a deflating air mattress in the front room of my parents’ cabin, 35 miles from the nearest stoplight, and wondering what else could possibly go wrong. Developing Success, Motivation & Inspiration describes the journey I took from that low point to running a nationwide cellular company while meeting successful people along the way. I took some calculated risks and created my own opportunities while fighting to survive cancer and maintain my status as an entrepreneur.This story is a precursor to Success, Motivation & Inspiration, a book I began writing in 2016. It includes interviews with successful entrepreneurs, war heroes, investors, CEOs, public speakers, and leaders as they share their personal insights and life lessons. I hope my story as a survivor inspires not only entrepreneurs but also those struggling with health issues to continue their fight. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: M. Curtis McCoy.

Perfectly Unfinished: Finding Beauty in the Midst of Brokenness , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 429min

Andrea Logan White appeared to be living the American dream, or what many would call a perfect life. However, underneath the happy veneer of the model, actress, and producer was a subtle, caustic voice leading to emptiness and self-destruction. She was being crushed under the weight of her own drive for perfection. Andrea's remarkable (and often tabloid-worthy) journey, which took her from hanging out in the Playboy mansion to finding God at a stoplight on Hollywood Boulevard, is not the whole story. Even discovering Jesus, finding an amazing husband, having beautiful children, and embarking on an exciting career didn't hold the happily ever after Hollywood ending Andrea had envisioned. No matter how successful, how spiritual, how loved, she was still enslaved by a lie the enemy uses against many of us: She felt she needed to be perfect to be accepted by herself, by others, and by God. Andrea shares her struggle with life-threatening eating disorders and self-defeating thought patterns, and she reveals the beautiful discovery that God's love meets us not in our perfection but in the most unfinished places of our lives. In Perfectly Unfinished, Andrea exposes the powerful truth that continues to change her life: God loves us just as we are, just where we are, for it is in the midst of our brokenness and imperfections that Jesus is at work completing us so that we may share fully in his holiness. Alongside Andrea, listeners discover from the word of God how to join God in the work he is doing in the midst of our unfinished and imperfect lives. ungekürzt. Language: English.

The Gift of Valor: A War Story , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 445min

Every day ordinary young Americans are fighting and dying in Iraq, with the same bravery, honor, and sense of duty that have distinguished American troops throughout history. One of these is Jason Dunham, a 22-year-old Marine corporal from the one-stoplight town of Scio, New York, whose stunning story reporter Michael M. Phillips discovered while he was embedded with a Marine infantry battalion in the Iraqi desert. Corporal Dunham was on patrol near the Syrian border on April 14, 2004, when a black-clad Iraqi leaped out of a car and grabbed him around his neck. Fighting hand-to-hand in the dirt, Dunham saw his attacker drop a grenade and made the instantaneous decision to place his own helmet over the explosive in the hope of containing the blast and protecting his men. When the smoke cleared, Dunham's helmet was in shreds, and the corporal lay face down in his own blood. The Marines beside him were seriously wounded. Dunham was subsequently nominated for the Congressional Medal of Honor, the nation's highest award for military valor. Phillips's minute-by-minute chronicle of the chaotic fighting that raged throughout the area and culminated in Dunham's injury provides a grunt's-eye view of war as it's being fought today: fear, confusion, bravery, and suffering set against a brotherhood forged in combat. His account of Dunham's eight-day journey home and of his parents' heartrending reunion with their son powerfully illustrates the cold brutality of war and the fragile humanity of those who fight it. Dunham leaves an indelible mark upon all who know his story, from the doctors and nurses who treat him, to the readers of the original Wall Street Journal article that told of his singular act of valor. ungekürzt.
