21 Powerful Scriptures: To Help You Love More Deeply , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 12min
It is said that when a child is born and the parents withhold love from that baby for long periods of time; that child can grow up abnormally. The Bible says in Proverbs 30 verse 21-23: "For three things the earth is disquieted, and for four which it cannot bear: 22 for a servant when he reigneth; and a fool when he is filled with meat; 23 for an odious woman when she is married; and a handmaid that is heir to her mistress" (Bold - Meaning a woman who is unloved when she gets married). Love is such a vital part of our life that anyone starved of it can experience pain beyond measure! For us the greatest kind of love is exemplified in the life of our Lord Jesus Christ who left His wonderful dwelling in heaven to tabernacle with us. Not only that; we learn in Romans 5 verse 8: "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." And without this love, we will not be able to enter into every desire that God has for us! In this audiobook, you will encounter some of the most interesting scriptures in the Bible that can help us live a much more loving life. Paul was right when he said that the love of God compelled his actions. In the same way, I am hoping that having listened to this book the love of God will compel you to act more in love than ever before in your homes, work place, community or any other place you find yourselves. ungekürzt.

The Handmaid's Tale: Special Edition , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 726min
Are there any questions? The final line in Margaret Atwood's modern classic, The Handmaid's Tale, has teased and perplexed fans since the book's original release more than 30 years ago. Now, in this Audible Original production, listeners get some of the answers they've waited so long to hear. Featuring an all-new interview with Professor Piexoto, written by Atwood and performed by a full cast, The Handmaid's Tale: Special Edition is a must-listen for both fans and newcomers alike. Emmy Award winner Claire Danes (Homeland, Temple Grandin) gives a stirring performance of this classic in speculative fiction, where the message (and the warning) is now more timely than ever. In addition to rich sound design that honors the audio origins of Atwood's classic, the special edition also includes a brand-new afterword from the author and an essay written by author Valerie Martin (Mary Reilly, Property). After a violent coup in the United States overthrows the Constitution and ushers in a new government regime, the Republic of Gilead imposes subservient roles on all women. Offred, now a Handmaid tasked with the singular role of procreation in the childless household of the enigmatic Commander and his bitter wife, can remember a time when she lived with her husband and daughter and had a job, before she lost everything, even her own name. Despite the danger, Offred learns to navigate the intimate secrets of those who control her every move, risking her life for mere glimpses of her former freedom, and records her story for future listeners. Whether you're a fan of the original novel or someone who has recently discovered it, The Handmaid's Tale: Special Edition will shock, impress, and satisfy all those who listen. The Handmaid's Tale: Special Edition features performances by Claire Danes, Margaret Atwood, Emily Bauer, Allyson Johnson, Gabra Zackman, Suzanne Toren, Tim Gerard Reynolds ungekürzt.

The Invention of Wings: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 822min
From the celebrated author of The Secret Life of Bees, a magnificent novel about two unforgettable American women. Writing at the height of her narrative and imaginative gifts, Sue Monk Kidd presents a masterpiece of hope, daring, the quest for freedom, and the desire to have a voice in the world—and it is now the newest Oprah’s Book Club 2.0 selection. Hetty “Handful” Grimke, an urban slave in early nineteenth century Charleston, yearns for life beyond the suffocating walls that enclose her within the wealthy Grimke household. The Grimke’s daughter, Sarah, has known from an early age she is meant to do something large in the world, but she is hemmed in by the limits imposed on women. Kidd’s sweeping novel is set in motion on Sarah’s eleventh birthday, when she is given ownership of ten year old Handful, who is to be her handmaid. We follow their remarkable journeys over the next thirty five years, as both strive for a life of their own, dramatically shaping each other’s destinies and forming a complex relationship marked by guilt, defiance, estrangement and the uneasy ways of love. As the stories build to a riveting climax, Handful will endure loss and sorrow, finding courage and a sense of self in the process. Sarah will experience crushed hopes, betrayal, unrequited love, and ostracism before leaving Charleston to find her place alongside her fearless younger sister, Angelina, as one of the early pioneers in the abolition and women’s rights movements. Inspired by the historical figure of Sarah Grimke, Kidd goes beyond the record to flesh out the rich interior lives of all of her characters, both real and invented, including Handful’s cunning mother, Charlotte, who courts danger in her search for something better. This exquisitely written novel is a triumph of storytelling that looks with unswerving eyes at a devastating wound in American history, through women whose struggles for liberation, empowerment, ungekürzt.
