The least of these have the most to give. In Wherever the River Runs, Kelly Minter invites us on a journey down a river teeming with piranhas and caimans, as well as machete-wielding mothers, heroic jungle pastors, faith-filled children, and miracles too seldom experienced in our part of the world. Kelly's honest and engaging narrative pulls back the curtain on one of the most captivating places on earth as well as on parts of the gospel we may be able to recite but have never fully believed. On this beautiful adventure through the jungles of Brazil and the tangles of the soul, Kelly rediscovers Jesus among a forgotten people living well beyond the corners of her previously defined faith - a people who draw her back to their country, their pain, and their hope in Him, again and again. ungekürzt.

A Moonless, Starless Sky: Ordinary Women and Men Fighting Extremism in Africa , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 475min
Winner of the 2018 Pen Open Book Award "A rich and urgently necessary book" (New York Times Book Review), A Moonless, Starless Sky is a masterful, humane work of journalism by Alexis Okeowo - a vivid narrative of Africans who are courageously resisting their continent's wave of fundamentalism. In A Moonless, Starless Sky Okeowo weaves together four narratives that form a powerful tapestry of modern Africa: a young couple, kidnap victims of Joseph Kony's LRA; a Mauritanian waging a lonely campaign against modern-day slavery; a women's basketball team flourishing amid war-torn Somalia; and a vigilante who takes up arms against the extremist group Boko Haram. This debut book by one of America's most acclaimed young journalists illuminates the inner lives of ordinary people doing the extraordinary - lives that are too often hidden, underreported, or ignored by the rest of the world. ungekürzt.

Blue: A History of the Color as Deep as the Sea and as Wide as the Sky
Discover a world of creativity and tradition in this fascinating picture book that explores the history and cultural significance of the color blue. From a critically acclaimed author and an award-winning illustrator comes a vivid, gorgeous book for readers of all ages. For centuries, blue powders and dyes were some of the most sought-after materials in the world. Ancient Afghan painters ground mass quantities of sapphire rocks to use for their paints, while snails were harvested in Eurasia for the tiny amounts of blue that their bodies would release. And then there was indigo, which was so valuable that American plantations grew it as a cash crop on the backs of African slaves. It wasn't until 1905, when Adolf von Baeyer created a chemical blue dye, that blue could be used for anything and everything--most notably that uniform of workers everywhere, blue jeans. With stunning illustrations by Caldecott Honor Artist Daniel Minter, this vibrant and fascinating picture book follows one color's journey through time and across the world, as it becomes the blue we know today.- Shop: buecher

Murder in Babylon: A Novel Based on Fact , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 331min
On the evening of February 1, 1922, silent film director William Desmond Taylor was shot to death in his Los Angeles home. The murder, coming on the heels of the Fatty Arbuckle scandal, shocked the Hollywood community and the country, resulting in reform groups labeling the film capital a "modern day Babylon", and demanding that movies be censored or, in some communities, even banned. The murder itself was never officially solved, but subsequent revelations about the director's unsavory past, as well as his recent secret activities that took him into the Los Angeles underworld, would keep the case alive in the nation's press for almost two decades. Because of their relationship with Taylor, it effectively end the careers of two popular screen stars, Mabel Normand and Mary Miles Minter. Ben Birnbaum, a reporter for the Los Angeles Dispatch at the time of the murder, covered the Taylor case for those two decades; once almost being killed for his efforts. His posthumous memoir details his day-to-day investigation to unravel Hollywood's most baffling mystery. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Fred Frees.
