Like Chaff in the Wind: The Graham Saga 2, Hörbuch, Digital, 764min
Matthew Graham committed the mistake of his life when he cut off his brother’s nose. In revenge, Luke Graham has Matthew abducted and transported to the Colony of Virginia, there to be sold as indentured labour - a death sentence more or less. Matthew arrives in Virginia in May of 1661, and any hope he had of finding someone willing to listen to his tale of unlawful abduction is quickly extinguished. If anything, Matthew’s insistence that he is an innocent man singles him out for the heaviest tasks and with a sinking feeling he realises no one has survived the seven years of service - not on the plantation Suffolk Rose.Fortunately, Matthew has a remarkable wife who has no intention of letting her husband suffer and die, and so Alex Graham sets off on a perilous sea journey to bring her husband home. Alex is plagued by nightmares in which Matthew is reduced to a wheezing wreck by his ordeals. She prays for a miracle to carry her swiftly to his side, but fate has other plans and what should have been a two month crossing turns into a yearlong adventure from one side of the Atlantic to the other. Will she find him in time? And if she does, will she be capable of paying the price required to buy him free? Language: English. Narrator: Greg Patmore.

A Sage on the Stage: Common Sense Reflections on Teaching and Learning , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 447min
Schools may rise and fall, but education fads remain forever. When it comes to new ideas, sifting the wheat from the chaff can seem like an impossible task. Finally, help has arrived from one of Canada’s best-known education writers. A Sage on the Stage leaves no stone unturned in its relentless assault on the foolish fads infecting public education. From incomprehensible no-zero policies to the new-yet-old 21st Century Skills movement to discovery math that never adds up, this book debunks many of the most pervasive fads in schools today. It also lays out a positive case for the things that do work - direct instruction, knowledge-rich classrooms, and lots of practice.

A Riddle: Neville Goddard Lectures , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 21min
Tonight I will call this, "A Riddle", for every creative mind rises to the challenge of a riddle. Now a riddle is defined in the dictionary as "an imperial object or person; that which is difficult to understand". It is also "a sieve to separate the chaff from the wheat, or a puzzling question". Now I ask you: who is the greatest of the great of earth, who was never mortal born, or lived - as you and I understand the term - in this secular world? I could use the plural and say "they" who were never mortal born, but tonight I will confine myself to the greatest of the great of earth, the one that is worshiped by all. As far as I am concerned, he is Jesus Christ. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Paul Holbrook. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/068875/bk_acx0_068875_sample.mp3.

Burn , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 709min
The past Janeal thought had burned away is rising from the ashes. Years ago, the Gypsy Kumpania where Janeal Mikkado lived was attacked by outsiders. With her best friend about to be consumed by a fire, Janeal had two options: try to save her friend - at serious risk to her own life - or disappear with the million dollars that she had just discovered. But the past is quickly coming back to haunt her. Both the best friend and the boyfriend that she was sure were dead have reappeared in her life, as has someone who knows about the money. There's a debt to be paid for the money she found, but there's an even greater debt she must face--and if the chaff isn't burned from her own heart, it will consume her. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Bringing in the Sheaves: Wheat and Chaff from My Years as a Priest , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 471min
Richard Coles narrates this witty account of life as a parish priest and Radio 4 broadcaster. After a life of sex and drugs and the Communards - brilliantly recounted in the highly acclaimed first volume of his memoirs Fathomless Riches - the Reverend Richard Coles went on to devote his life to God and Christianity. He is also a much-loved broadcaster, presenting Saturday Live on Radio 4 and giving us regular reason to Pause for Thought on Radio 2. What is life like for the parson in Britain today? For centuries the Church calendar - and the Church minister - gave character and personality to British life. Today, however, as the shape of the year has become less distinct and faith no longer as privileged or persuasive, that figure has become far more marginal. In Bringing in the Sheaves, Reverend Coles answers this question. From his ordination during the season of Petertide, through Advent and Christmas to Lent and Easter, he gives us a unique insight into his daily experience in the ministry, with all the joy, drama, difficulty and humour which life - and indeed death - serves up in varying measures. Told with extraordinary charm and erudition, Bringing in the Sheaves features a multitude of characters and events from parish life against a backdrop of the Christian calendar. ungekürzt.

Thousands of years ago, one of the shrewdest economists, thinker and philosopher Chanakya, wrote a policy manual that helped groom Chandragupta Maurya to power. This treatise, called Chanakya Neeti, dealt with a variety of subjects, including war, strategy, international relations, fiscal policies and life in general. Best-selling author Virender Kapoor unravels the secret to living a successful life by interpreting Chanakya’s lessons for a 21st-century listener.

Separating the grain from the chaff, the author has selected from more than 200 sutras and categorized them into sections such as the role of destiny and character in success; dealing with your boss; who to trust in a business; and how to manage difficult people and situations.
