Dragon Light: The Chronicles of Shadow and Light, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 557min
She was suddenly far from the underwater world, in a place that existed only in fire. The pressure was exquisite, crushing the breath and life from her. Magma spewed from roaring fountains, cascading all around her, touching the hem of her simple white dress and crumbling it to blackened ash. Soon, the shoes that had been on her feet were burned away, and only her pale skin was left behind. She stepped unflinchingly into the largest of the magma rivers, and waded out into the very center. Magma rose up from just beneath her, moving slowly up her skin as though a force greater than the center of the earth pulled it. It continued to rise until it covered her whole body, then it cooled rapidly, encasing her within smooth, black stone. There was no air anymore. No thought. No light. Only instinct. Golden-white light shot from the tips of her fingers downward into the magma, cracking the black stone, making the bubbling fire glow with radiance. It spread quickly through the river that she stood in, then traveled outward, rapidly transforming the entire network of rivers and streams, firefalls and oceans, until all were lit with her golden-white light. As the winding up days of the great and final battle commence, old alliances come to the fore, new alliances are strengthened, and their world of shifting light and dark becomes more hopeful as the numbers of the Luminari and those that follow the Dragon-King Cerralys continues to grow stronger. And then suddenly the unthinkable happens, and Auri discovers a secret so brutal that it shatters everything she knows. Everything she is. Before the end is come, before the final battle-horn knells and the fire of the Rebel Dragons descends, she must somehow find the courage to be the White Queen of elven prophecy, the strength to face the darkest shadows of Terradin, and the graces to heal that which seems irreparably broken. For herself, and for those that she just can't live without. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Rob Goll. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/058977/bk_acx0_058977_sample.mp3.

Prodigal Daughter: A Christian Wife's Story of Falling into Darkness and to Coming Back to Grace , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 91min
Prodigal Daughter: A Christian Wife's Story of Falling into Darkness and to Coming Back to Grace is a story about the way Jesus has pursued me with his redemption throughout my life.Brought up in a loving, Christian home, I was sheltered from many of the things of this world when I was a small child. Having been sent to private Christian school, I accepted Jesus Christ into my heart in a chapel service when I was seven years old. My family was tightly knit, and my best friend was my little cousin, Mack.Mack and I lived next door to each other and became more like siblings as his mother waded through the waters of divorce. We could most often be found at our grandparents’ house. There was no lack of love in our small world, and we were happy children.The day Mack died, my heart changed. I felt abandoned by a God I had put my full childlike faith in. I begged Jesus to let me die so that I could be reunited with Mack. When my prayer was not answered, I pulled away from God. I resented my Christian education. I rebelled and distanced myself from my parents.My moods began to reflect more than deep grief, and it became apparent that I had a mental illness of some kind. Mack’s death had been the trigger for my symptoms. I experienced euphoric highs and suicidal lows, and I endured misdiagnoses and failed treatment for years. In an act of impulse and rebellion, I married when I was only 18 years old. My husband soon found that my mood disorder and my continued grief over Mack dictated my everyday life. It is safe to say he got more than he bargained for.As the years went by, God orchestrated the right events and proper people to come into my life to initiate healing. He worked in my marriage, and I was able to watch my husband and oldest son be baptized together. As a family, we began more structured church attendance, and I fell back into the open arms of the God of my youth.When disappointments of every variety struck ag ungekürzt. Language: English.

Savage Uprising Pyrrus and Kerk 7 (eBook, ePUB)
The so-called savages of Westworld are rebelling. They start a bloody struggle for their forgotten and repressed rights. Pyrrus and Kerk end up in the middle of the conflict and are given an almost impossible task to mediate. How to stop a fierce war of extinction, where there can be only one winner? If the two space adventurers don't succeed in their attempts at peace, the foremost and oldest colony of the Andromeda Galaxy will perish. How to deal with irreconcilable attitudes and prejudices, which have intensified over a long period of time? Can it get better? This time, the adventurers are also fighting against the forces of the weather. Surprising snowstorms in the home areas of the savages are taking their toll. The seventh book about the space adventurers Pyrrus and Kerk, whose motto is "It will get better". "The savage couldn't help but smile. Everything would collapse. A stampeding herd in full panic left nothing behind. It flattened everything to the ground. The inhabitants who presumably survived the attack would be driven out into the river. They would drown like the wild beasts they were. There was no forgiveness. Just a deep hatred that exceeded all reason." "He fumbled on. This time he didn't care about the wet parts he encountered. Suddenly he waded into waist-high water. Had he passed this before? Yes, on the way into the tunnel, he told himself. But he wasn't entirely sure. He fumbled his way further into the tunnel. This time he didn't care about the wet parts he encountered. He found the narrow passage and turned around, fumbling further in the other direction. He was convinced that he would die. Still, he went forward with staggering steps. His thoughts wandered again. The bats will eat you. What kind of nonsense is that? The bats can't eat you. Not these kinds of bats. No, but the beetles will. He was most afraid of the beetles. The crawling scavengers."- Shop: buecher

A Slightly Haunted Life: One Somewhat Skeptical Florida Man's Brushes with Spooks, Skunk Apes, UFOs and Night Terrors (eBook, ePUB)
In 1963, at age eight, Mark S. Murley awoke to find a cat in his bedroom, staring directly at him. Worth noting: The family didn't own a cat. When the feline fled the room by "melting" through a closed window, young Murley's life took a permanent turn for the Uncanny. A procession of curious encounters followed over the next five decades ranging from head-scratching to outright terrifying. Some of these events had rational explanations … but quite a few did not. In his first book, the author talks about his half-century challenge to come to terms with the procession of oddities that he and some close friends and kinfolk were experiencing. Murley presents over 50 stories, many in which he was personally involved, including: The Memphis Stairwell Spook; The Crone; The Trailer Ghost; The Kinsey Vault Incident; The Floating Thing; The Ghostly Lights House; Nine Tiny Graves; Cousin Jan's Ouija Board; Mom! Dad! There's a Gorilla in Our Back Yard!; The Weird, Close Giant "V" Flyover; Early Morning Sprint from the Floating Dish House; and many more. You'll also meet some of Murley's friends who waded neck-deep into the Inexplicable, including: - Zach Johnston, whose entire family had a front-row seat to the exhumation of their recently buried dog by a Skunk Ape. - Steve Walton, whose errant bullet brought down a Tennessee vulture that was quickly removed by Something that heaved up from and disappeared back into the murky Hatchie River. - Dan and his poignant tale of "Rosalyn and the Forgotten Flower," involving a woman who died in 1926 but could not rest until Dan and his friend Scott finally determined how to fulfill her ghostly request. - Wes Hardaway, who, along with the author, faced the chilling Trailer Ghost head-on. - The colorful Zeke Richardson, who head-shakingly maintained until his final days that he witnessed a waist-level fly-by of a miniature Japanese Zero, complete with a tiny waving pilot. You'll also hear from the author's late mother, who passed in 2019 at age 102, who contributed several tales from her early rural Florida years. This includes the mind-bending but spiritually uplifting "Angels Over DeBary" and the discomfiting "Man in the Coffin Apparition," which the author calls "hands down the most disturbing ghost story I've ever heard." Adds Murley: "The tale so unnerved me that, after Mom told it to me for the first time, I wished she hadn't!" Other than a few anecdotal side trips to Iowa, California, and Tennessee, A Slightly Haunted Life is pure Sunshine State. Who knew that Murley's hometown of 60 years - tiny, rural Geneva, Florida, particularly in the 1960s and '70s - would become Ground Zero for so many odd happenings? Local lore is well represented by entire chapters on the mysterious Oviedo Lights, spooky-weird Cassadaga (aka the Psychic Capital of the World), and the inscrutable Chapman Road Ghost Kids. And all are previously unpublished stories. As Murley says in the Introduction: "Story freshness is a big advantage to documenting my own experiences and those of a few close friends and relatives. Unless the folks who were present during some of these adventures pen their own versions, it's unlikely that you'll be familiar with any. No twenty-seventh retelling of Two-Toed Tom will be found in these pages!" Written in an analytical but conversational style with plenty of humor sprinkled throughout, you'll find A Slightly Haunted Life (about 389 e-pages) to be unlike any unexplained phenomena book you've ever read.- Shop: buecher
