  SuperCouples: Chapter 15 - A Sure and Short Circuit - Short Circuit , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 13min

  Vipul and Richa are a couple who partnered up in life as well as work. What brought them together was a sheer brush of luck, but what brought them along so far has more to do with the business they had started as partners. They created shortcircuit.in, which is designed to offer a funny and pleasant break to the customers from the drudgery of everyday life. It’s a wacky brand offering the craziest, quirkiest and funniest of products, which can bring humour and fun into people’s lives. From negotiating with vendors to the tedious task of packaging, the duo worked together in building their start-up from scratch. While Richa remains the primary decision-maker of their venture, she stands strong with the unconditional support given by her partner. The range of products that were to be produced is one of the concrete decisions that they made together. Though they’re spontaneous about their products, the duo rationalizes a few important aspects like the feasibility of a product that is to be manufactured and supplied at the scale they plan. ungekürzt.

  The Man Who Created Paradise: A Fable , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 57min

  Gene Logsdon's The Man Who Created Paradise is a message of hope at a time when the very concept of earth stewardship is under attack. The fable, inspired by a true story, tells how Wally Spero looked at one of the bleakest places in America -- a raw and barren strip-mined landscape -- and saw in it his escape from the drudgery of his factory job. He bought an old bulldozer and used the machine to carve patiently, acre by acre, a beautiful little farm out of a seemingly worthless wasteland. Wally's story is a charming distillation of the themes that the late, beloved Gene Logsdon returned to again and again in his many books and hundreds of articles. Environmental restoration is the task of our time. The work of healing our land begins in our own backyards and farms, in our neighborhoods and our regions. Humans can turn the earth into a veritable paradise -- if they really want to.The book is published by Ohio University Press. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: J. Austin Moran II.

  Secret Power or the Secret of Success in Christian Life and Work , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 168min

  One man may have “zeal without knowledge”, while another may have knowledge without zeal. If I could have only the one, I believe I should choose the first; but, with an open Bible, no one need be without knowledge of God’s will and purpose; and the object of this audiobook is to help others to know the source of true power, that both their zeal and their knowledge may be of increased service in the Master’s work.Paul says, “all Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable”; but I believe one portion, and that the subject of this audiobook, has been too much overlooked, as though it were not practical, and the result is lack of power in testimony and work. If we would work, “not as one that beateth the air”, but to some definite purpose, we must have this power from on high. Without this power, our work will be drudgery. With it, it becomes a joyful task, a refreshing service.May God make this audiobook a blessing to many.This is my prayer.D. L. Moody. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gregg Rizzo.

  The new rich and compelling novel from the author of The Girl Who Came Home. Perfect for fans of Kate Morton and Rachel Hore. Dolly Lane is a dreamer, a downtrodden maid who longs to dance on the London stage, but the outbreak of war takes everything from her: Teddy, the man she loves - and her hopes of a better life. When she secures employment as a chambermaid at London's grandest hotel, The Savoy, Dolly's proximity to the dazzling guests makes her yearn for a life beyond the grey drudgery she was born into. Her fortune takes an unexpected turn when she responds to an unusual newspaper advert and finds herself thrust into the heady atmosphere of London's glittering theatre scene and into the sphere of the celebrated actress Loretta May and her brother, Perry. All three are searching for something, yet the aftermath of war has cast a dark shadow over them all. A brighter future is tantalisingly close - but can a girl like Dolly ever truly leave her past behind? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jennifer Jones, Lucy Tayner, Paul Fox.

  Paladin , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 818min

  Brash, cocky, and unbeatable with a sword (well, almost), Sam of Haywood is the most promising Paladin trainee in the kingdom of Thule. The only problem is that Sam is really Lady Samantha, daughter of the 17th duke of Haywood, and if her father has his way, she'll be marrying a Paladin, not becoming one. But Sam has never held much interest in playing damsel in distress, and so she rescues herself from a lifetime of boredom and matrimonial drudgery. Disguised as a boy, Sam leaves home behind to fight demons - the most dangerous monsters in Thule - alongside the kingdom's elite warriors. Pity that Tristan Lyons, the Paladin assigned to train her, is none other than the hero of her childhood. He hasn't recognized her, but if he does, he'll take away her sword and send her packing. As demons wreak havoc across the land, rebellion stirs in the West, led by a rival faction of warriors. A war between men is coming, and Sam must pick a side. Will saving the kingdom cost her life - or just her heart? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Carly Robins. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/tant/005386/bk_tant_005386_sample.mp3.
