    In this tour de force, the University of Oxford’s Dr. Tim Mawson turns a thoughtful eye to the questions about existence you have undoubtedly asked yourself. An expert on the philosophy of religion, Dr. Mawson combines wit with masterful scholarship to explain deep philosophical topics in an easy-to-understand yet erudite manner.  In 12 captivating lectures, you will look at how philosophers throughout history have debated the meaning of life and God’s role in it, exploring historical approaches to finding meaning before turning to contemporary perspectives and the schools of thought that underlie them. As you grapple with monumental topics, you will consider contrasting beliefs about meaning, purpose, and the existence of a higher power. You will also scrutinize philosophers’ prevailing views on the subject. Some of their views may resonate with you; others you may reject straight out. In either case, Dr. Mawson will have spurred you to rethink your own values and methods of creating meaning. After listening to God and the Meaning of Life, you will walk away with innovative ways to think about God and the afterlife. Language: English. Narrator: T. J. Mawson.

    Every so often, a story comes along that is so compelling, so inspiring, and so hard to believe that it must be written down and shared with the world. Steeve Simbert’s journey from abject poverty to living the American Dream is one such story. It will educate you, inspire you, and at times entertain you; but make no mistake, it is also a story of abuse, poverty, deception, and pain.   This gripping and personal account of Steeve’s arduous journey from the pits of hell to the glorious heights of success begins in Miami, where he and his twin brother are expelled from their father’s house and returned to Haiti penniless. While struggling to make ends meet and finish high school, his hometown is devastated by one of the most catastrophic earthquakes in human history, killing 250,000 Haitians.   Steeve’s fortuitous introduction to the “7 Mindsets” then changes his life forever, setting him on a journey of enlightenment that ultimately enables him to become the first-ever Haitian or Haitian American in history to obtain a Master of Public Policy from the prestigious University of Oxford’s Blavatnik School of Government.  This memoir, Finding Hope in Chaos: Rising from Crisis into the American Dream, follows Steeve on his journey, while challenging your humanity and inspiring you to reach for the brightest star in the sky no matter what adversities you might encounter along the way. ungekürzt.

But what dazzles can also destroy, as Gray Marshall is about to discover.… Gray’s deep talent for magick has won him a place at Merlin College. But when he accompanies four fellow students on a mysterious midnight errand that ends in disaster and death, he is sent away in disgrace - and without a trace of his power. He must spend the summer under the watchful eye of his domineering professor, Appius Callender, working in the gardens of Callender’s country estate and hoping to recover his abilities. And it is there, toiling away on a summer afternoon, that he meets the professor’s daughter. Even though she has no talent of her own, Sophie Callender longs to be educated in the lore of magick. Her father has kept her isolated at the estate and forbidden her interest; everyone knows that teaching arcane magickal theory to women is the height of impropriety.
