The Return of the Gallant Vicar: A Pride and Prejudice Variation , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 199min

Dear Listeners, Thank you for the warm reception given to The Gallant Vicar, my first sojourn into writing a Regency adventure. Because so many of you were kind enough to email me with your encouraging comments, I have decided to allow the gallant vicar to return. I promise his reappearance was not planned, it just happened. I hope you find The Return of the Gallant Vicar an exciting sequel to the first Gallant Vicar. You really should listen to the first book in order to enjoy the sequel. And because I delight in creating strong heroines and fast action, Elizabeth Bennet, while true to the original Jane Austen character, is a force to deal with in this sequel - so hang on to your bonnets! The Gallant VicarA Regency tale inspired by Jane Austen's timeless classic, Pride and Prejudice. Elizabeth Bennet considers the handsome new vicar at Hunsford parsonage to be everything Fitzwilliam Darcy is not. The Reverend Francis Martel is warm, accessible, and has no difficulty showing his feelings for her. Within weeks of rejecting Darcy's offer, Elizabeth finds herself swept up in a tumult of emotions for the vicar. He shares her wit, her caring for others, and the simple life - so she accepts the vicar's proposal. Will Darcy recover from his injured ego in time to intervene in their marriage? And how will he separate the couple - only days before their wedding? The Return of the Gallant Vicar Who is the Gallant Vicar, why did he disappear, and why has he returned on the day Elizabeth is to marry Darcy? Can his passion for Elizabeth be driving him or does he hold some darker secret? Will Darcy bring the blackguard down? Barbara Silkstone is the author of the best-selling Mister Darcy series of comedic mysteries. The Gallant Vicar is her first Regency novel featuring Darcy and Elizabeth. It is not intended to be a comedy, but quirky things do occur. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jannie Meisberger.

Think No Evil: Inside the Story of the Amish Schoolhouse Shooting...and Beyond , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 307min

The true story of October 2, 2006, when Charles Roberts entered an Amish schoolhouse, bound and shot 10 schoolgirls, and then committed suicide, stunned all who read the headlines or watched the drama unfold on television screens. Somehow, the senseless violence seemed all the more horrific against the backdrop of horse-and-buggy funeral processions and scenes of wide-eyed innocent children clad in bonnets and suspenders.But perhaps even more startling than the violence was the quiet yet powerful response of the Amish community offering unconditional forgiveness to the murderer and reaching out to his family with baskets of food and warm welcomes into their homes. Could such forgiveness be genuine, truly heartfelt? Surely there must be simmering rage behind those peaceful words.Jonas Beiler wondered. He had grown up in that very Amish community. His own pain of losing his daughter in a tragic accident years before resurfaced, and the lingering shadows of other life tragedies loomed darker. As he met with the grieving families, he could see how devastated and broken they felt, and yet he was drawn to the strength he saw in them.Outsiders, too, had difficulty understanding the rock-solid faith of the people in this Amish community. How could they forgive someone who killed their innocent daughters? How could they reach out and embrace his family, expressing unconditional love for them in these circumstances? Letters from around the world poured in, asking these universal questions in the face of suffering.And so began Jonas Beiler's journey into this story - the story behind the headlines, behind the farmhouse doors, around the lantern-lit kitchen tables, at the local market, and alongside the tiny coffins. His quest is now yours to read, his discoveries yours to consider.Walk with those closest to the scene: an Amish grandfather, an ambulance driver, a surviving Amish schoolgirl, and volunteer firefighters. Even look on as the community ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kelly Ryan Dolan. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/oasi/000620/bk_oasi_000620_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

The Amish: The History and Legacy of One of America's Oldest and Most Unique Communities , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 73min

Back in the 16th century, the Protestant Reformation took Europe by storm. The havoc wreaked saw the split of churches and the emergence of the Amish, led by Jakob Ammann. By the 18th century, a group of Amish had crossed the seas to the United States, where they made their home, and today the Amish are now one of the fastest-growing populations in the world. Buggies, straw hats, long and plain dresses in shades of blue and black, charming log cabins reminiscent of Little House on the Prairie - this is often the mental image that comes to mind when one thinks of the Amish. Nowadays, many have become accustomed to being within a 10 foot radius of at least three pieces of technology every hour of the day. World news and current events have never been more readily available, accessible by just a touch of a fingertip. Yet there exists a collection of cultures worldwide that steer clear of contemporary society for a range of reasons. These communities, which also come in various forms around the world, are the descendants of the Swiss Anabaptist movement. The Amish are famed for their simple living, commitment to sanctity, and being a community that seems to be at a standstill in time. What is less known about them is the deep culture, tradition, and faith, making them one of the most unique communities that has ever graced civilization. Americans have heard of the Amish, but most know little about them. They are often seen as unconventional and strictly religious, but quiet, calm folk who keep to themselves. Those who have heard of them know of their rejection of electricity and most, if not all modern aspects of life. Those who have taken a gander at the dozens of "reality shows" that have sprung up over recent years may have even heard of the famous - but often inaccurately depicted - Rumspringa. But beyond the buggies and prayer bonnets lies an intriguing culture that has remained strictly loyal to its roots. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Scott Clem.
