    The Real Me Is Thin , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 316min
    Here is the hapless and hilarious tale of a life lived under the constant and ruthless reign of a chocolate biscuit. Lumped into 'the too fat for potatoes group' by her mother, carefree eating isn't something Arabella Weir had much experience of growing up. Written with startling frankness, Arabella unravels her own eating history in this humorous appraisal of our attitudes towards eating disorders and obesity. Not easy for someone who still can't be alone unsupervised in a room with a packet of chocolate biscuits. Charting Arabella's neurotic relationship with food, from prolonged abstinence to binge eating, this humorous memoir recreates a childhood besieged with battles over food. Subjected to her mother's capricious feeding regime and taught early on that food was her enemy, happiness meant being allowed to eat what she liked - or more importantly what everyone else was eating. Recounting stories of unhinged mothers and callous doctors, mystery-meat suppers, and egg custard battles with calculating boyfriends' mothers, this candid memoir vividly recreates a childhood and adolescence marred by the social embarrassment of being marked as different simply due to your weight. ungekürzt.

    The Werewolf of Paris: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 669min
    Endore's classic werewolf novel - now back in print for the first time in over forty years - helped define a genre and set a new standard in horror fiction. The werewolf is one of the great iconic figures of horror in folklore, legend, film, and literature. And connoisseurs of horror fiction know that The Werewolf of Paris is a cornerstone work, a masterpiece of the genre that deservedly ranks with Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Bram Stoker's Dracula, and Robert Louis Stevenson's The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Endore's classic novel has not only withstood the test of time since it was first published in 1933, but it boldly used and portrayed elements of sexual compulsion in ways that had never been seen before, at least not in horror literature. In this gripping work of historical fiction, Endore's werewolf, an outcast named Bertrand Caillet, travels across pre-Revolutionary France seeking to calm the beast within. Stunning in its sexual frankness and eerie, fog-enshrouded visions, this audiobook was decidedly influential for the generations of horror and science fiction authors who came afterward. ungekürzt.

    O Me of Little Faith: True Confessions of a Spiritual Weakling , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 266min
    In O Me of Little Faith, author Jason Boyett brings you a transparent and personal account of his own of struggles with doubts and unbelief in living out his faith. With humor and frankness, Boyett uses personal anecdotes and a fresh look at Scripture to explore the realities of pursuing Christ through a field of doubt. After three decades of knowing God, understanding Christianity, and living a Christian life, Boyett has come to the place where he can voice the tough questions and travel the road of uncertainty with blinders off, candor on. The message along the way is one of encouragement: Relax. Rely on the grace of a merciful God, a kind father who realizes that his finite creatures must have doubts, should have questions, and will have trouble making sense of an infinite Creator. Ultimately, Boyett concludes that doubt and faith are not polar opposites, but actually work together, existing side-by-side. Uplifting, entertaining, hopeful, O Me of Little Faith will strike a chord with you and any Christian who's dealing with the uncertainties of living life in pursuit of a God who occasionally seems to disappear. ungekürzt.

    Keeping It Real , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 403min
    Yesterday I read The Velveteen Rabbit to my 5-year-old son. "This is the greatest children's book ever written," I sobbed as I choked through the book's explanation of what it means to be 'real.' "By the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out, and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand.""That is the greatest children's book ever," my son said nervously. "Wanna hear it again?" "No, thanks." Like the Velveteen Rabbit, many Christians worry about being real. They want to be "in touch," "clued in," and "relevant" in the eyes of the world. But is that actually necessary? In Keeping It Real in the Real World, B. A. De Oliveira wittily challenges this tendency with an undiluted frankness and a quirky sense of humor. Her fresh perspective on the many facets of life will inspire you to approach the Christian life fearlessly and embrace your individuality throughout your journey in the real world. ungekürzt.

    The Land of Flickering Lights (eBook, ePUB)
    The Colorado Senator offers "a sweeping diagnosis of the nation's political ills... stitched together with assurances that room for redemption still exists" (New York Times Book Review). In The Land of Flickering Lights, Senator Michael Bennet lifts a veil on the inner workings of Congressional politics to reveal, in his words, "a series of actual stories-about the people, the politics, the motives, the money, the hypocrisy..." each of which demonstrates "the pathological culture of the capital and the consequences for us all." Bennet unfolds the dramatic backstories behind the highly politicized confirmation battles over judicial nominations at all levels; the passage of the Trump tax law; the shredding of the Iran nuclear deal; the pervasive corruption unleashed by the influence of "dark money"; and the sabotage by a congressional minority of the "Gang of Eight's" bi-partisan deal to reform America's immigration policies. With frankness and refreshing candor, Bennet pulls the machinations behind these episodes into full public view, shedding vital new light on today's political dysfunction. Arguing that each of us has a duty to act as a founder, he calls on Americans of all political persuasions to demand that the "winners" of our political battles be all the American people, nor one party or the other.

    The Prince , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 183min
    When Lorenzo de' Medici seized control of the Florentine Republic in 1512, he summarily fired the Secretary to the Second Chancery of the Signoria and set in motion a fundamental change in the way we think about politics. The man who held the aforementioned office was none other than Niccolo Machiavelli, who, suddenly finding himself out of a job after 14 years of patriotic service, set a precedent for many a politician to come: He became a commentator and pundit.Unable to become an on-air political analyst for a television network or a syndicated news columnist, he wrote a book. But what a book The Prince is! Its essential contribution to modern political thought lies in Machiavelli's assertion of the then revolutionary idea that theological and moral imperative have no place in the political arena. "It must be understood", Machiavelli asserts, "that a prince...cannot observe all of those virtues for which men are reputed good, because it is often necessary to act against mercy, against faith, against humanity, against frankness, against religions, in order to preserve the state."With just a little imagination, readers can discern parallels between a 16th-century principality and a 21st-century presidency. ungekürzt.

    Direct answers to 40 thought-provoking questions married couples ask regarding their sexual relationships. God's desire is for couples to enjoy passionate sexual relationships without inhibition, awkwardness, fear, resentment, guilt, or shame. With honesty and frankness, life coach and best-selling author Shannon Ethridge opens the minds of both husbands and wives to consider how to move beyond the mechanics of sex to cultivating a rich and rewarding connection. Divided into four sections, Shannon helps couples celebrate the spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical sides of sex. Questions include: What was God thinking when He created sex? Will there be sex in heaven? Why do humans think about sex so much? How did we get such different ideas about sex and love? How can I get past his/her sexual past? How can I help my spouse heal from the sexual abuses he/she suffered? What if my heart is telling me I married the wrong person? How can we balance mismatched sex drives? Some chapters end with questions for personal contemplation or for couples to use as conversation starters, and other chapters end with prayers that foster a deeper spiritual and emotional connection, making this a perfect guide to a more passionate love life. ungekürzt.
