    Do You Really Know Jesus Christ?: Questions About the Biblical Jesus , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 215min
    Who exactly was Jesus Christ? Do you really know who the historical and Biblical Jesus was or what the Bible says about him? His human or divine nature? The miracles and wonders attributed to him? His role as savior and prophet? Although millions claim to "know Jesus" or to have "found the Lord", exactly what do they know or what have they found? This book includes dozens of questions and answers from the Bible that may (or may not) challenge just how much you really know about Jesus of Nazareth...Jesus the Messiah...King of Israel...Son of God...Savior...Christ...What does it all mean? Does Scripture explain any of these titles given to Jesus? As a firm believer myself, this is not an agnostic book! Rather, it's a chance to really explore what we all know (or claim to know) about the Jesus we believe in...It may make you think, it might startle or confuse you at times, and it might even make you learn more than you ever knew before. ungekürzt.

    The Silver Pen: Sound and Silence , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 60min
    This author uses words as a sculptor uses clay. She doesn't change the shape of the word; it's the surrounding words that contain the poetic surprise. She explains that she personally likes to be surprised by a word that doesn't usually follow another. It is a way to startle the listener into looking deeper into the thought. There are times when words can even pour forth like oil and fill in cracks left by others' hurtful words. Some of these poetic frames become like a waterfall of individual poems that wash off aching bodies and refreshes the spirit. Then, poems of peace pour forth into an exchanged life. This poetic journey leads the listener through a number of chapters: Sound and Silence, Struggles, Depths of Despair, and ultimately, to the chapter on the importance of lifting up your eyes to the One who can bring you into peace and hope and the exchanged life.The author sees this journey as a metamorphosis and demonstrates this in several poems where, in the days of trouble, it feels like a tsunami. One is drawn into those last chapters for the comfort of God's peace and hope. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mandy Kaplan.

    Green Thumb: A Novella , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 220min
    Mutability blooms in the Florida Keys after the Red War and the genie boxes. King Pelicans with the brains of scientists and a single human hand in place of one webbed foot rule the ruins of half-drowned Miami. Slavers roam the deep waters offshore, taking captives to feed the voracious Kudzu Army and the human aqueduct bearing fresh water from Lake Okeechobee. On the last stretch of the Overseas Highway still standing, an albino seeress slowly becomes her name: White Flamingo. ''You,'' she says. ''You will reach for the sun while staying rooted to the ground. But I fear your shadow will be much too long.'' Transformed by his father's genie box in the late days of the Red War, Leaf has lived for decades or centuries alone in a collapsing Victorian house on a desolate sandy key, misunderstanding time, feeding on sunlight and dew. When at last he meets a boy like - but so unlike! - himself, Leaf understands he has met destiny and sets out on a long, strange journey. A post-apocalyptic, psychoactive, polymorphous-perverse pastorale, Green Thumb will startle you with its utter strangeness and break your heart with its fragile beauty. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    From the author of The Cellist of Sarajevo, an exciting new novel that uses the life and sudden death of Harry Houdini to weave a tale of magic, intrigue, and illusion. What is real and what is an illusion? Can you trust your memory to provide an accurate record of what has happened in your life?

    Jesus: A Meditation on His Stories and His Relationships with Women , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 289min
    Jesus of Galilee taught through stories, which even today contain the power to startle us out of our prejudices and preconceptions. Now Father Andrew M. Greeley, one of America's most beloved storytellers, examines the parables told by Jesus in search of a fuller understanding of the man and his message. This engaging and informal collection of homilies reveals a Jesus whose simple parables carry profound lessons about the Kingdom of Heaven. Along the way, Father Greeley touches on such provocative topics as the significance of Jesus' Jewish roots, his deep and revolutionary relationship with women, The Da Vinci Code, and The Passion of the Christ. He also singles out the four greatest parables, which best illustrate the infinite love and mercy of the God whose kingdom began with Jesus and continues even today. As a storyteller, Jesus often surprised his listeners with unexpected twists that challenged them to see the world in a whole new light. Father Greeley's insightful tour of the Gospels provides a fresh look at the parables that strips away centuries of false and mistaken interpretations to get at the essential truth of who Jesus really was and what he believed. ungekürzt.
