Uncensored Grace: Stories of Hope from the Streets of Vegas , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 281min
Uncensored grace is what you get from a loving God when all the religious types have gone home, and every last hope for your own effort has ended. What comes to mind first when you think Las Vegas? Maybe glitz and glam. Or dealers and dancers, high rollers and hell raisers. And why not? After all, the town they call Sin City is an American icon, an anything-goes shrine to pleasure, money, sex-and another lucky roll of the dice. Probably when you think Las Vegas, you don't think about God or grace. Neither did Jud Wilhite when he was first invited to become the senior pastor at the city's largest church. The people Juds met since moving there with his family have changed all that. Today, Vegas stands for something much different and more surprising for Jud. He doesn't think of Vegas as Sin City anymore. Now, to him, it is Grace City. Working with veteran journalist Bill Taaffe, Jud takes you past the neon and the hype to another side of Vegas-where people whose lives have been marred by loneliness, addiction, and despair are finding hope and freedom in a vital community of faith. Uncensored Grace is an account of what happens when ordinary people get honest with each other and an extraordinary God. You'll meet gaming industry movers and shakers; working exotic dancers, a Flying Elvis, an American Idol contestant, a cop who won the hearts of a crime-hardened city, and much more. ungekürzt.

Winnie Parker, mother to an angst-ridden teenage daughter and ex-wife to a successful game show host who left her for a twenty-something contestant, begins a normal day in her hum-drum existence by dropping her car off at the repair shop. After accepting what she believes is a ride to pick up her rental car, Winnie realizes too late that she's been kidnapped. What follows is a riveting psychological game of cat and mouse set in the kidnapper's tropically heated house - kept that way for Cookie, a menacing seven-foot long Iguana headquartered in the kitchen. While desperately seeking to escape - which leads to several violent clashes with her increasingly unstable kidnapper - Winnie also tries to understand why she was taken captive. Is her kidnapper merely seeking a ransom or does he have something more sinister in mind? Does he know that Winnie's mother is an Oscar-winning actress? Or did he connect her with Jonathan, her famous ex-husband? When the truth reveals itself, Winnie is not only forced to fight for her life, but must also protect the lives of those she loves from the kidnapper's deranged master plan. An engrossing, darkly humorous, edge-of-your-seat story, The Care and Feeding of Exotic Pets explores the dynamic between kidnapper and kidnapped, bizarre reptile lore, and the absurdity of the celebrity lifestyle.Diana Wagman is the author of the novels Bump, Spontaneous - which won the PEN Center USA Award for Fiction - and Skin Deep.

Cut Reality: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 603min
When death washes ashore on reality TV, who's to blame? "Intelligently conceived and well-executed... A mystery that thoughtfully reflects on the hazy line between suspicion and reckless mania." (Kirkus Reviews) Join Jason Debord as he seeks clarity following the death of a reality-TV co-star and ends up uncovering criminal conspiracy. When Jason returned home from competing on Beached he'd lost weight, couldn't sleep, and felt more alone than ever. But, he expected those changes. Jason had no way to predict that one of his fellow competitors would fling himself from a cliff. Unless he didn't. Jason can't believe it, but the network broadcasts the alleged suicide to the world, so he pushes forward in his own amateur investigation. Met with resistance from the cast and crew, he persists only through the support of his developing romance with Blake, a psychologist who observes alarming similarities between her patient and her partner. Events in Cut Reality have a variety of interpretations. While under the watchful eye of the public, Jason has to decide: is what he uncovers too coincidental to be true, or so hard to accept because it's his new reality? Buy Zack Hacker's anticipated debut novel to find out what Jason discovers...."On the surface, Cut Reality is a murder mystery; but actually it is much more... Highly recommended for those who like their intrigue steeped in philosophical insights and dilemmas." (Midwest Book Review) "When I heard the premise of Cut Reality, I almost died...and I wouldn't lie about that."

Black Faces in White Places: 10 Game-Changing Strategies to Achieve Success and Find Greatness , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 607min
If the name Randal Pinkett sounds familiar, it may be because Pinkett was the first African American winner on The Apprentice. When he won, this black man also became the only contestant to be asked to share his victory - with a white woman. The request (and Pinkett's subsequent refusal) set off a firestorm of controversy that inevitably focused on the issue of race in the American workplace and in society. For generations, African Americans have been told that to succeed, they need to work twice as hard as everyone else. But as millions of black Americans were reminded by Pinkett's experience, sometimes hard work is not enough. Black Faces in White Places is about "the game" - that is, the competitive world in which we all live and work. The audiobook offers 10 revolutionary strategies for playing, mastering, and changing the game for the current generation, while undertaking a wholesale redefinition of the rules for those who will follow. It is not only about shattering the old "glass ceiling" but also about examining the four dimensions of the contemporary black experience: identity, society, meritocracy, and opportunity. Ultimately, it is about changing the very concept of success itself. Based on the authors' considerable experiences in business, in the public eye, and in the minority, the audiobook shows how African American professionals can (and must) think and act both entrepreneurially and "intrapreneurially", combine their collective strengths with the wisdom of others, and plant the seeds of a positive and lasting legacy.PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio. ungekürzt.

The Important Thing Is That I'm Pretty, Hörbuch, Digital, 46min, (USK 18)
Very funny! says Bob Saget. "A brilliant writer," says Howard Stern. Called the "female Dennis Miller", and with an edginess compared to Amy Schumer, everything is a target and nothing is off limits for Kat Radley. Her quick-fire anecdotes as well as her hilarious pop culture references have earned her accolades from Bob Saget and Howard Stern. Hailing from Montclair, Virginia, Kat Radley began her stand-up comedian career as a contestant in Rooftop Comedy's National College Comedy Competition. After being voted into the final four by the public, Radley landed a coveted spot in the Aspen Comedy Festival, representing her alma mater, UVA. Prior to her public debut, Radley unwittingly honed her craft during her upbringing in a large Irish Catholic family, each sibling claiming to be funnier than the next. Beyond her siblings, much of Radley's passion and early inspiration for comedy comes from a combination of her fondness and admiration for the Spartan Cheerleaders of Saturday Night Live and Conan O'Brien's quick, infectious wit on Late Night with Conan O'Brien. Since launching her career, Radley made her stand-up television debut on FOX's Laughs and appeared in many notable festivals, including the Out of Bounds, Laughing Skull, and Women in Comedy festivals. She was also a finalist in the Magners Comedy Festival and the World Series of Comedy, where she took home the Friars Club Audience Award and earned the distinction of Comic to Watch from Time Out New York. In addition to appearing at festivals, Radley performs improv and sketch at the Upright Citizens Brigade and IOWest Comedy Theaters in Los Angeles and hosts her own YouTube talk show, A Chat with Kat.

Cockpit: Formerly titled Worth the Risk , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 626min
From New York Times best-selling author K. Bromberg comes a new, sexy standalone about taking chances and finding love when it's least expected. Or wanted. This whole contest was supposed to be easy. I know, I know. Famous last words. It's a long story, but I messed up at work. Big time. To earn back the trust of my boss, I promised to save one of our magazines. Yep. That Hot Dad contest you've seen advertised all over the place was my idea. And if I'm successful, if I'm able to increase our online readership, then I get a shot at my dream job. But the one thing I never expected to happen, happened: Contestant number 10, Grayson Malone. Hello, Mr. Difficult. And did I mention sexy as hell? Unfortunately he knows me. The old me, anyway. And while we might be older now, I remind him of before. Of the woman who broke his heart, who hardened him, and who left him alone to raise the cutest little boy I've ever seen. But I don't want a relationship. And I definitely don't fall for single dads with baggage. Even ones with chiseled abs and killer smiles. But he got to me. They got to me. Him and his son and their messy, crazy life. But I got to him too. I see the stolen glances. I feel the walls he built start to crumble. I recognize that there's an unexpected beauty to the chaos in his life. And now that the contest is about to end, we're left to decide whether the last six months were just fun or if what we have is worth risking it all. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Self-Confidence: A Guide to on How Compassion Can Help , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 181min
It has long been understood that compassion is very crucial. The way in which we know about ourselves and the way we suppose other people see us have a big impact on our well-being. If we guide ourselves, we are more likely to effectively negotiate all that life throws at us. This is in evaluation to being self-conscious and feeling that there’s something wrong with us. However, it is not simply commonplace experience that tells us about the value of compassion. Recent advances in scientific research have greatly improved our understanding of ways how compassion, from ourselves and from others, can help us to treat ourselves in ways which might be respectful and enhance our sense of well-being. We live in a world in which we are continuously counseled to judge, rate, and compare ourselves. All around us are messages that we won't be good enough. Maybe, our parents told us such things, or perhaps, at school, we have been frequently the last to be picked for the team. Of course, in recent times, faculties are constantly focusing on tests, judgments, and opinions of all kinds. Over the past 10 to 20 years, even competitions on TV have turned out to be increasingly centered on which contestant could be thrown off the show.Indeed, our focus on vanity and achievement, at the cost of helping, sharing, and nurturing our community, has been presented as one of the causes of depression and anxiety. They are on the rise in the present day across the globe, especially amongst younger humans. What studies tells us, however, is if we learn to respect ourselves and treat ourselves and others with kindness even when things aren't going right, we're much more likely to be able to deal with setbacks and be happier. ungekürzt.
