  His Guilt: The Amish of Hart County , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 414min

  New York Times and USA Today best-selling author Shelley Shepard Gray delivers the next novel in her Amish of Hart County series - a suspenseful tale of an Amish man who will risk all to protect the woman he loves. Mark Fisher has returned home to Hart County, determined to put the past behind him. Two years ago, after being wrongly accused of assault, he left the Amish community, though he never forgot his home. When the one person who had helped him through his rough times asks for help, Mark returns. But it is pretty Waneta Cain who makes him want to stay. Neeta is one of the few people in Hart County who doesn't believe Mark is guilty of hurting anyone. However, his worldliness and tough exterior do make her uneasy. As she begins to see the real man behind all the gossip and prejudice, she wonders if he is the man for her. Just when Mark starts to believe a new life is possible, a close friend of Neeta's is attacked. Once again everyone in the community seems to believe he is guilty. But what hurts most is Neeta's sudden wariness around him. When another woman is hurt, a woman who is close to both Neeta and himself, Mark fears he knows the real culprit. And time is running out. Will Mark be able to find him before Neeta becomes his next victim? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tavia Gilbert.

  Idle Ideas in 1905 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 365min

  The third and final collection in this series of reflections written by one of the wittiest and most whimsical men to press pen against paper. As well as his usual take on the foibles of his fellow Englishmen and women, Jerome ruminates, in his typically liberal fashion, about far-flung countries such as Russia, Africa and China. Jerome was never a 'jelly-bellied flag-flapping imperialist', and his vision, experience and worldliness are revealed to us in the following essays: Are we as interesting as we think we are? Should women be beautiful? When's the best time to be merry? Do we lie abed too late? Should married men play golf? Are early marriages a mistake? Do writers write too much? Should soldiers be polite? Ought stories to be true? Creatures that one day shall be men. How to be happy though little. Should we say what we think or think what we say? Is the American husband made entirely of stained glass? Does the young man know everything worth knowing? How many charms hath music would you say? The White Man's Burden: need it be so heavy? Why didn't he marry the girl? What Mrs Wilkins thought about it. Shall we be ruined by Chinese cheap labour? How to solve the servant problem. Why we hate the foreigner. The author's insightful and entertaining discussions demonstrate yet again that history has a lot to teach us - if only we would listen! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Peter Newcombe Joyce.

  The Book of James , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 491min

  The Book of James focuses on the believer's justification before men. His robust epistle focuses on the practical Christian walk rather than on doctrine: it is directed toward a living faith. Faith is not believing in spite of the evidence: Faith is obeying in spite of the consequences. The Epistle of James deals with conduct, not creed; behavior, not belief; deed, not doctrine. He speaks of endurance of faith and outward trials of inward temptations in the first chapter. And he gives ways to test the genuineness of faith, our response to the Word of God. These include our response to social situations, the production of good works, the exercise of self-control, our reaction to worldliness and our resort to prayer in all circumstances. These are not ways to get saved, but are demonstrations of faith. Faith without works is a major theme in James. "Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: show me thy faith without thy works, and I will show thee my faith by my works." He's not talking about being justified before God by your works, but being justified before men. If you say you have faith and don't have a changed life, there is still something lacking. He's not in conflict with Paul, he is just tackling a different issue. Paul talks about justification before the throne of God, James about justification in society. ungekürzt. Language: English.

  The Age of Innocence

  Edith Wharton s acclaimed novel of love, duty, and half-known truths in Gilded Age New York society, with a foreword by bestselling author Elif Batuman.A Penguin Vitae EditionDutiful Newland Archer, an eligible young man from New York high society, is about to announce his engagement to May Welland, a suitable match from a good family, when May s cousin, the beautiful and exotic Countess Ellen Olenska, is introduced into their circle. The Countess brings with her an aura of European sophistication and a hint of perceived scandal, having left her husband and claimed her independence. Her worldliness, disregard for society s rules, and air of unapproachability attract the sensitive Newland, despite his enthusiasm about a marriage to May and the societal advantages it would bring. Almost against their will, Newland and Ellen develop a passionate bond, and a classic love triangle takes shape as the three young people find themselves drawn into a poignant and bitter conflict between love and duty. Written in 1920, Edith Wharton s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel about a time and place long gone by 1870s New York City beautifully captures the complexities of passion, independence, and fulfillment, and how painfully hard it can be for individuals to truly see one another and their place in the world.Penguin Classics presents Penguin Vitae, loosely translated as Penguin of one s life, a deluxe hardcover series featuring a dynamic landscape of classic fiction and nonfiction that has shaped the course of our readers' lives. Penguin Vitae invites readers to find themselves in a diverse world of storytellers, with beautifully designed classic editions of personal inspiration, intellectual engagement, and creative originality.

  Testimonies for the Church Volume 2

  While volume 1 of the Testimonies focused mainly on counsel for the fledgling Seventh-day Adventist church, volume 2 was devoted almost entirely to the personal piety of its members. In the words of Ellen White, these testimonies "all contain more or less reproof and instruction which apply to hundreds or thousands of others in similar condition." The instruction, which was forthright and practical, dealt with many aspects of Christian living including (but not limited to) gossip, indulgence of appetite, marriage, greed, and fanaticism. During the times of volume 2, the Health Institute at Battle Creek was beginning to prosper. With companies established on the West coast and in Europe, the church had grown geographically as well as in membership. Despite the growth, members in the young movement still struggled with worldliness, lack of spirituality, and a spirit of criticism. Against these dangerous trends Ellen White continued to lift her voice and pen. Counsels in this volume also related to the growing publishing work of the Review and Herald in Battle Creek, Michigan. The numerous visions which Ellen White had during this time kept her busy nearly constantly, to the point where her husband once wrote: "Mrs. White is writing. Poor woman! This almost eternal writing for this one and that one, when she should rest and enjoy the beautiful scenery and the pleasant society, seems too bad, but God blesses and sustains, and we must be reconciled." In the years since, the many testimonies Mrs. White wrote personally to various individuals have been a great blessing to untold numbers of church members. Many who have read these earnest counsels and warnings have discovered that the problems, temptations, and privileges of believers of earlier years were the same they themselves were facing at the time. Thus these messages of more than a century ago continue to bear powerful fruit today.
