A Window to Young Minds: Short Stories by Young Writers, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 245min
Our future depends on stories. As the world advances, literature has the ability to ground us - in our humanness, our imaginations, and our enlightenment. Fueled by the need to interpret the past, to explore the present, and to imagine the future, each generation shapes the world of books. In order to preserve this, we must have a new generation willing to share their stories. The annual Lune Spark Short Story Contest was started in May 2017 with the vision of supporting young writers. A Window to Young Minds is the first of the contest’s yearly anthologies, Short Stories by Young Writers. The 23 wonderful stories in this audiobook are handpicked from 2017’s entries.

Inner Peace: The Inconvenient Truths , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 64min
The journey of wisdom never stops for humans in this short experience we call life. Even when we think we have it all figured out, the universe has a special way of humbling us all. I have lived among many people of all walks of life: poor men, millionaires, both religious and atheist. The common trait founded in our conversations and experience was not limited to our physical experience on Earth, but much rather to our perspective of each experience we have encountered throughout our lives. Throughout these encounters, I learned small important truths that I believed saved me, but more importantly, the way in which I set about to do it. This is a collection of thoughts, inspiring quotes, and analogies which I handpicked to best offer enlightened perspective for all who embrace truth in this world of opposites. Yin and yang have never seemed so appropriate. The truth is to keep learning, never stop the process of feeding the mind new information. It is, in fact, new information that keeps our electrical minds active, but more importantly, the process of which allows us to derive the lesson of each experience we encounter. Inner peace is the side effect of balancing your energy. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Joseph M. Clarke. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/116991/bk_acx0_116991_sample.mp3.

Churchill's Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare: The Mavericks Who Plotted Hitler's Defeat , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 758min
Six gentlemen, one goal: the destruction of Hitler's war machine In the spring of 1939, a top-secret organization was founded in London: Its purpose was to plot the destruction of Hitler's war machine through spectacular acts of sabotage. The guerrilla campaign that followed was every bit as extraordinary as the six men who directed it. One of them, Cecil Clarke, was a maverick engineer who had spent the 1930s inventing futuristic caravans. Now his talents were put to more devious use: He built the dirty bomb used to assassinate Hitler's favorite, Reinhard Heydrich. Another, William Fairbairn, was a portly pensioner with an unusual passion: He was the world's leading expert in silent killing, hired to train the guerrillas being parachuted behind enemy lines. Led by dapper Scotsman Colin Gubbins, these men - along with three others - formed a secret inner circle that, aided by a group of formidable ladies, single-handedly changed the course of the Second World War: a cohort handpicked by Winston Churchill whom he called his Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. Churchill's Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare is a gripping and vivid narrative of adventure and derring-do that is also, perhaps, the last great untold story of the Second World War. ungekürzt.

The Farm (eBook, ePUB)
The flame that burns the brightest burns the quickest, they say, and Ana Reed planned to burn brightly for eternity. She had no plans to grow complacent and cold in her pursuit of justice for the children she served through her position as a social service worker. Ana held the sands of time in the palm of her hand, and she planned to clear the path for the broken children she swore to protect. Her gift would be their salvation.However, mankind had a different plan. Greed, cruelty, and lust for power led them to their own destruction. The once-free people were now confined by the immortals, who had to step in to save them from themselves. The immortals constructed great farms to house the elite few, handpicked to carry on the human race. Time erased all memories of freedom for the humans. All that remained was a sense of duty to the immortals.This unnatural environment was the last place Ana thought she would find her soul mate, yet she did. Marked with a number and a sense of obligation, James did as he was told and provided sustenance for the immortals. He knew nothing of the world outside the boundaries of the farm. His Ana was the only link to the outside world, and he loved the freedom her stories brought him.Many adventures filled the long life of Ana and her family and friends, but nothing could have prepared her for the future fate had in store for her. She had never dreamed anything like this was even possible. Her original goal in life was to be realized with the help of the love of her life.- Shop: buecher
