The Feminine Mistake, Hörbuch, Digital, 389min
Women are constantly being told that it's simply too difficult to balance work and family, so if they don't really "have to" work, it's better for their families if they stay home. Not only is this untrue, Leslie Bennetts says, but the arguments in favor of stay-at-home motherhood fail to consider the surprising benefits of work and the unexpected toll of giving it up. It's time, she says, to get the message across: combining work and family really is the best choice for most women, and it's eminently doable. Bennetts raised two children while earning a living, and she understands the challenges and the rewards firsthand. She and millions of other working women provide ample proof that there are many different ways to have kids, maintain a challenging career, and have a richly rewarding life as a result. When women sacrifice their financial autonomy by quitting their jobs, they become vulnerable to divorce as well as the potential illness, death, or unemployment of their breadwinner husbands. The truth is that when women gamble on dependency, most eventually end up on the wrong side of the odds. Not since Betty Friedan has anyone offered such an eye-opening and persuasive argument for why women can and should embrace the joyously complex lives they deserve. Language: English.

Survival in the Shadows: Seven Jews Hidden in Hitler's Berlin , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 505min
The remarkable true story of two families that survived against all odds in the heart of the Nazi capital. Survival in the Shadows rivetingly chronicles the incredible survival of seven German Jews in Berlin through the final and most deadly years of the Holocaust. In January 1943, unable to flee Germany, the four members of the Arndt family went underground to avoid deportation to Auschwitz. Soon they were joined by Ellen Lewinsky and her mother, Charlotte; a year later, Bruno Gumpel joined the group. Hiding in a small factory fewer than two miles from Hitler's bunker, without identification cards or food-ration stamps, they were dependent on German strangers for sustenance and anonymity. When Russian soldiers finally rescued the group in April 1945, the families were perilously near death from starvation. But their will to live triumphed. Most joyously, two months later, four of the survivors - Erich Arndt and Ellen Lewinsky, and Ruth Arndt and Bruno Gumpel - reunited in a double wedding ceremony. In her compelling and captivating book, Barbara Lovenheim shares this previously untold story, relayed to her by three surviving members of the group, whom she met by chance in her hometown. Survival in the Shadows is a touching portrayal of the resourcefulness and bravery of the seven Jews in hiding as well as the fortitude and humanity of the ordinary Germans who kept them alive. ungekürzt.

The Grace of Yes: Eight Virtues for Generous Living , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 269min
Catholic new-media personality and best-selling author Lisa M. Hendey is fueled by a lifelong passion for her faith. In The Grace of Yes, she guides listeners through pivotal moments of her journey and the eight virtues that have helped her - and will help listeners - learn how to say yes to God. Beloved Catholic blogger Lisa Hendey explores eight spiritual virtues that she believes are foundational to the Christian life. In opening windows to pivotal moments of her own spiritual journey, she helps listeners learn about belief, generativity, creativity, integrity, humility, vulnerability, saying no, and starting over, and shows how these virtues lead to generous living and the ability to joyously say yes to God. Hendey reflects candidly on real-life struggles: the identity adjustment of leaving a blossoming career to become a stay-at-home mom; the temptation of Divahood as her online celebrity grew; the freedom and opportunities of empty-nest status versus the middle-aged body's pull to slow down; her encounters with spiritual community during treatment for cancer; and the contrast between the profound lingering grief she confronted at a Rwandan genocide memorial and the astounding willingness of survivors there to forgive. Listeners encounter Hendey's own struggles and successes while soaking up her characteristic warmth and good advice. Hendey provides questions for personal reflection and a prayer to close the exploration of each virtue. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Lisa M. Hendey.

The Whale in the Cave , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 358min
“Have you ever looked up at the sky and wondered if it was really the layer between us and the rest of the universe? What if it was the other way around, but we've been lied to all this time? What if going up is actually going inside the Earth, and going down is going out?” Luke Balena - a dopey, impressionable 26-year-old - is standing on the edge of a hidden cave in the Malibu forest, revisiting a stoned conversation with his friend Wolf before he mysteriously disappeared three days earlier. Is he down there now, joyously exploring an uncharted dimension? With nothing to lose, Luke prepares to climb in and find out for himself. But first, one more hit... Unpredictable and unforgettable, The Whale in the Cave is Mike Avitabile at his deadpan peak: a whimsical, mesmerizing, and hilarious satire on the consequences of believing in anything. "A compelling saga that's hard to put down.” (D. Donovan, senior editor, Midwest Book Review)“At times, the book's oddities, such as Wolf's circular explanation that his job is having the day off, approach those by such masters of the uncanny as Haruki Murakami... There is a constant, unresolved tension between whether Luke's narration is a goofy, marijuana-fueled perspective on plausible events or if readers have entered a completely separate, off-kilter reality. Avitabile is at his best when he chooses to be unapologetically surreal.” (Kirkus Reviews) ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Chad Fischer.

Worlds Elsewhere: Journeys Around Shakespeare's Globe , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1203min
Andrew Dickson's startlingly original and joyously entertaining Worlds Elsewhere traverses centuries and continents to reveal Shakespeare and his works in a fantastic array of new guises.... Antiapartheid activist, Bollywood screenwriter, Nazi pin-up, hero of the Wild West: this is Shakespeare as you have never seen him before. From the 16th-century Baltic to the American Revolution, from colonial India to the skyscrapers of modern-day Shanghai, Shakespeare's plays appear at the most fascinating of times and in the most unexpected of places. No other writer's work has been performed, translated, adapted and altered in such a remarkable variety of cultures and languages. But what is it about William Shakespeare - a man from Warwickshire who never once set foot outside England - that has made him at home in so many places around the globe? Travelling across four continents, six countries and 400 years, Andrew Dickson takes us on a personal journey rich in insight and surprise. We enter the air-conditioned vault deep beneath Capitol Hill where the world's largest collection of First Folios is stored, discover the shadowy history of Joseph Goebbels' obsession with Shakespeare, and uncover the true story behind the scuffed edition in which Nelson Mandela and fellow Robben Island prisoners inscribed their names. Both cultural history and literary travelogue, Worlds Elsewhere is an attempt to understand how Shakespeare has become the international phenomenon he is - and why. ungekürzt. Language: English.

From Fear to Eternity (eBook, ePUB)
A Course in Miracles takes what we think we know about the world and turns it upside down. Although this makes little sense at first, when we apply its principles we notice that life really does work out more smoothly. In From Fear to Eternity, Dr. Bob Rosenthal will guide us through the Course's truths so that we may live more joyously and peacefully. . The physical body is both symbol and proof that you are separate and different from all others. This belief in separation is the root cause of fear, attack and illness. . The spiritual journey must lead away from the past, where judgment rules, into a pure, clean, unbound present moment. In this moment, love and holiness are remembered. . Real freedom comes from the choice to awaken. All other choices are diversions that keep the mind imprisoned. . There is another way of seeing that has nothing to do with the body's eyes. This vision reveals what the Course calls the real world. Its loveliness far surpasses anything you have known. . The only journey worth taking is the journey of self: from a false and limited ego-self to the one Self that God created whole and wholly loving. Join Dr. Bob Rosenthal on this journey. Discover the powerful and transformative masterwork that is A Course in Miracles.- Shop: buecher
