The Magpie Lord, Hörbuch, Digital, 385min
A lord in danger. A magician in turmoil. A snowball in hell. Exiled to China for 20 years, Lucien Vaudrey never planned to return to England. But with the mysterious deaths of his father and brother, it seems the new Lord Crane has inherited an earldom. He's also inherited his family's enemies. He needs magical assistance, fast. He doesn't expect it to turn up angry. Magician Stephen Day has good reason to hate Crane's family. Unfortunately, it's his job to deal with supernatural threats. Besides, the earl is unlike any aristocrat he's ever met, with the tattoos, the attitude...and the way Crane seems determined to get him into bed. That's definitely unusual. Soon Stephen is falling hard for the worst possible man, at the worst possible time. But Crane's dangerous appeal isn't the only thing rendering Stephen powerless. Evil pervades the house, a web of plots is closing round Crane, and if Stephen can't find a way through it - they're both going to die. Warning: Contains hot M/M sex between a deeply inappropriate earl and a very confused magician, dark plots in a magical version of Victorian England, family values (not the good kind), and a lot of swearing.

Dreams of Gods and Monsters: Daughter of Smoke and Bone Trilogy, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1086min
It began with Daughter of Smoke and Bone. It continued with Days of Blood and Starlight. It ends with Dreams of Gods and Monsters. Common enemy, common cause. When Jael's brutal seraph army trespasses into the human world, the unthinkable becomes essential, and Karou and Akiva must ally their enemy armies against the threat. It is a twisted version of their long-ago dream, and they begin to hope that it might forge a way forward for their people. And, perhaps, for themselves. But there are bigger threats than Jael in the offing. A vicious queen is hunting Akiva, and, in the skies of Eretz...something is happening. Massive stains are spreading like bruises from horizon to horizon; the great winged stormhunters are gathering as if summoned, ceaselessly circling, and a deep sense of wrong pervades the world. What power can bruise the sky? From the streets of Rome to the caves of the Kirin and beyond, humans, chimaera, and seraphim will fight, strive, love, and die in an epic theatre that transcends good and evil, right and wrong, friend and enemy. At the very barriers of space and time, what do gods and monsters dream of? And does anything else matter? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kristin Hvam.

End of the World: As We Knew It, Hörbuch, Digital, 121min
There is a growing global unrest. A large faction of people from all walks of life, both young and old, feel they are being affected by an outside source, sharing a deep-rooted fear that all is not right. Many feel that time itself is moving too fast, that they are traumatized by the pressure to keep up with the ever-changing landscape around us, leaving many paralyzed and overwhelmed by the cacophony and mindless chatter of technology that pervades every aspect of their lives. Are we losing ourselves amidst this modern world? Are we living a lie under the charade of an advanced and civilized society, all while we are destroying life on Earth - polluting our air, food, water, and ultimately our minds while destroying species, habitat, and even human lives on a daily basis? Are labor-saving devices, products, and services for anything and everything erasing our true selves or simply making our lives easier? Since the industrial revolution, man has continued to distance himself from the world in which we came, a world of flora and fauna to which we were once deeply connected throughout our evolution. Now many experts feel we are no longer in the age of common sense, that we are just steps away from a truly Orwellian existence, and that we are now devolving to the point of no return.

Teachers: Have You Ever? , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 141min
A teacher mentality often pervades every aspect of a teacher's life: early mornings, evenings, weekends, and even nightly dreams. The truth is that teaching professionals often spend more hours with other people's children than do the children's parents and caregivers. They have dealt with parents who are needy, controlling, competitive, demanding, disrespectful, enabling and enabled, hovering, and those who only see their children through rose-colored, Lasik-surgery eyes. There is no doubt that Cheryl and Jan can certainly commiserate with the numerous student and/or parent meetings all teachers have endured throughout the years in which they have had to silently nod or shake their heads in acknowledgment of what was being discussed, as seemingly tangible bubbles of disbelief formed in their brains. And so was born Teachers: Have You Ever? Teachers: Have You Ever? is a compilation of quips and stories, many of them unbelievably believable, that serve as an outlet for fellow teachers, teacher assistants, administrators, administrative assistants - and virtually anyone who works with children in a school setting - to be entertained, to laugh, to commiserate, and to identify and connect with the unique perspective of educators. It will also allow parents, grandparents, and anyone who has ever been in a classroom to gain a unique perspective, mostly through humor, of the challenges teachers experience every day. ungekürzt.

Man Enough: How Jesus Redefines Manhood , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 378min
Man Enough challenges the idea that there is one way to be a man. The masculinity that pervades our church and culture often demands that men conform to a macho ideal, leaving many men feeling ashamed that they're not living up to God's plan for them. Nate uses his own story of not feeling "man enough" as well as sociological and historical reflections to help men see that manhood isn't about what you do but who you are. It's not about the size of your paycheck, your athletic ability, or your competitive spirit. You don't have to fit any masculine stereotype to be a real man. In our culture and churches more thoughtful, quieter, or compassionate personalities, as well as stay-at-home dads, are often looked down upon; and sermons, conferences, and publications center on helping men become "real men". This pressure to have one's manhood validated is antithetical to Gospel living and negatively affects how men relate to each other, to women and children, and to God. Man Enough roots men in the Gospel, examines biblical examples of masculinity that challenge the idea of a singular type of man, and ultimately encourages men to conform to the image of Jesus - freeing men up to be who they were created to be: sons of God who uniquely bear his image. ungekürzt.

Russia: The Story of War , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 635min
No nation is a stranger to war, but for Russians war is a central part of who they are. Their "motherland" has been the battlefield where some of the largest armies have clashed, the most savage battles have been fought, the highest death tolls paid. Having prevailed over Mongol hordes and vanquished Napoleon and Hitler, many Russians believe no other nation has sacrificed so much for the world. In Russia: The Story of War, Gregory Carleton explores how this belief has produced a myth of exceptionalism that pervades Russian culture and politics and has helped forge a national identity rooted in war. While outsiders view Russia as an aggressor, Russians themselves see a country surrounded by enemies. Time and again history has called upon Russia to play the savior - of Europe, of Christianity, of civilization itself - and its victories have come at immense cost. In this telling, even defeats lose their sting. Isolation becomes a virtuous destiny and the whole of its bloody history a point of pride. War is the unifying thread of Russia's national epic, one that transcends its wrenching ideological transformations. As Putin's Russia asserts itself in ever bolder ways, knowing how the story of its war-torn past shapes the present is essential to understanding its self-image and worldview. ungekürzt.

Arcadian Nights: The Greek Myths Reimagined , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 662min
The vibrant retelling of the central Greek myths by acclaimed novelist John Spurling, author of The Ten Thousand Things, winner of the 2015 Walter Scott Prize for Historical Fiction. The classical Greek intellectual tradition pervades nearly every aspect of our modern Western civilization. Our logic and science, our philosophy, politics, literature, architecture, and art are all indebted to the ancient inhabitants of the small mountainous Mediterranean country. And the powerful myths of the Greeks, refined by Homer, Hesiod, Herodotus, and the great Greek dramatists, still resonate at the core of our culture. Taking as his starting point many of the famous tourist sites in the Peloponnese, where the stories are set, John Spurling freshly imagines key narratives from the Greek canon, including tales of the doomed house of Atreus (notably Agamemnon, leader of the Greeks at Troy, murdered by his wife in his palace bathroom) and of the god Apollo; the goddess Athene; Theseus, scourge of the Minotaur; the Twelve Labors of Heracles; and Perseus, rescuer of Andromeda. In this vibrant, gripping, and often grisly retelling of the Greek myths, stories of murder, power, revenge, love, and traumatic family relationships are made new again for our time with wit and relish by a gifted author. Spurling has added scene, dialogue, and context while always staying true to the spirit of the original myth. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: John Lee.

Yoga of the Subtle Body: A Guide to the Physical and Energetic Anatomy of Yoga , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 655min
With his expert teachings, philosophical insights, and pragmatic imagery, world-class yoga instructor Tias Little turns the anatomy of the physical body into a tool for navigating the subtle body. If you spend considerable time doing yoga, you begin to see that it is about much more than just the body - the practice of yoga in fact reveals that the body is in no way separate from the pyschospiritual forces that animate it. Tias Little here provides a way to understand these forces as they relate to an integrated yoga of body, mind, and spirit. He unites somatic concepts and wisdom teachings in this practical guide to the anatomy of the physical, mental, emotional, and subtle (or energetic) body. Little is a master teacher who offers us a guided tour of the body's structure and physical anatomy, then uses this new structural awareness as the basis for exploring the subtle body. In a meaningful and pragmatic way, the book maps the connection between the body and the rich symbolism that pervades the yogic imagination, including the chakras, nadis, and koshas. Further, Little offers listeners clear, insightful yoga, pranayama, and meditation exercises that apply these body-mind principles.
