    The Third Birth of Confucius (eBook, PDF)
    The Third Birth of Confucius deals with the Chinese sage and philosopher Confucius and his philosophical and politico-cultural legacies. As the title suggests, Confucius has once again taken birth in China. Confucius 'died' for the first time when he gave way to Buddhism in the tenth century, but was reinvented again (Neo-Confucianism). This was the second birth of Confucius. In the twentieth century, under the influence of western ideas China's liberals and Marxists abandoned Confucius again. But how long can a civilization live without any ideational orientation? Hence, the third birth of Confucius from AD 2000 onwards. Confucius is emerging as a proxy word for cultural nationalism. In fact, it is not one Confucius who is taking birth in China but two. One is the common man's Confucius, which is authentic and genuine. The other Confucius is promoted by the Chinese Government. The author believes that soon either China will embrace democracy or it may implode and disintegrate like the former Soviet Union. This book is an attempt to unravel the muddled reality of China and will definitely prove a landmark work in the field of Chinese Studies.

    I Am A Believer!: How I Made Life's Greatest Discovery , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 140min
    “As a man thinks in his heart so is he.” Many people who are familiar with Proverbs 23:7 (above) conclude that what they think about they will become. With that in mind they lead with their brains and assume their spiritual identity will follow. They reason that they can control, even create, their destiny with their thinking, failing to realize that their minds are part of their fallenness which must be continually renewed - realigned with God’s purpose. They fail to acknowledge that their destiny was predestined before the foundation of the world by their Creator and that He created them according to His purpose. Learn what it means to truly be a believer. Follow Ken’s remarkable journey from an agnostic Jew whose fantasy life was about to implode, to his transformation into an enthusiastic Christian. Discover eternal life, which is in Jesus Christ and the keys to accomplish your purpose and reach your destiny. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tim Cote.

    The Drowned Throne: Lore of Arcana, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1025min
    From the cesspool of Silas Island into the underworld of Two Town, the battle for Valaris continues. As epic storms batter the continent, men, women, and children succumb to soltakin touch and darkling blade. It is time to unveil the hidden half-race from under the sands of the Vall Peninsula; Valaris needs soldiers as much as she needs hope. It is time, also, to face Margus in his lair and throw down the gauntlet. Arrayed against his might is the small team of defenders, among them Taranis of the Guardians, Vannis of the Valleur, and Torrullin, a man with a dual nature, who as often fights the darkness rising within as he fights to save his world. Dreams and visions plague Torrullin; he battles to find himself when fate appears omnipotent, and love seems ever beyond his reach. The extinct Gosa volcano erupts as sacred sites implode to create earthquakes and tidal waves. A monster wave races to the site of an epic confrontation before an ancient and powerful golden seat. The Valleur Throne is about to assume ultimate status. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Thomas Bestwick. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/231468/bk_acx0_231468_sample.mp3.
