    Bury the Hatchet: Tulsa Thunderbirds, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 486min
    He was poised to be an elite goalie for a contending team. Hunter Fielding has long since proven himself to be one of the best goaltenders in the NHL. The problem? His former team had another (slightly better) backstop. They left Hunter out to dry, the upstart Tulsa Thunderbirds claimed him in the expansion draft, and he made a few stupid comments about backasswards Oklahomans. Now the T-Birds say the only way he can redeem himself is to make nice for the media with some local goody two shoes who's made some mistakes of her own. Oklahoma's sweetheart could do no wrong until she could do no right. Tallulah Belle Roth was the reigning Miss Oklahoma USA until a night of out-of-control drinking, a naked foray in a hot tub with very bad boy, and a bunch of lowlights on TMZ. Now she's been stripped of her crown and is facing the censure of the same people who made her out to be Little Miss Perfect. Tallie won't ever get her title back, but her life is another matter - and the only way the public will allow her to do that is if she presents herself as happily settled with someone else under Oklahoma's eye. The marriage is to be in name only - one year of sickeningly-sweet lovey-dovey PDA, all to get their detractors to bury the hatchet. Those kisses and tender moments for the cameras take an emotional toll, though. Can in name only be enough? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Michael Pauley.

    500 Dates: Dispatches from the Front Lines of the Online Dating Wars , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 356min
    Now several years post-divorce, relationship expert and humorist Mark Miller has experienced more than 500 first dates. In 500 Dates, composed of 55 humor essays, Miller features the highlights and lowlights of those dates. Among the true dating tales and revelations you will find in this audiobook are: How Miller and his date learned the limitations of a man being too emotionally expressive. ("Most guys consider revealing more about themselves emotionally and communicating on a deeper level nearly as enjoyable as falling face-first onto an ice pickor spending the rest of eternity listening to Celine Dion music.") Miller's realization that sometimes men have to pay a heavy price for their dates' previous relationship behavior. ("At least six different times, God has matched me up with a woman who has had a long history of wild, impulsive, passionate, no-holds-barred sex. She invariably finds something lacking in that lifestyle and decides to make a change. Starting with the very next man she dates. Who is invariably me.") Miller's misguided social experiment to separate dating from status by spending less than $20 on the date, purchasing everything at a 99 store, and what he learned, as a result, about his date and himself. ("I realize now that on the journey of romance, thrift and creativity will take you only so far - for the rest of the trip, you'll need MasterCard.") Revealed for the first time the inner workings of a man's brain. ("Cerebellum. Responsible for coordinating movement and maintaining balance. Used primarily when a man has had eight beers and is endeavoring to make his way to the bathroom without tripping over the dog and pulling the fish tank over on top of them.") How Miller took his date to his ex-wife's holiday party only to find his date and his ex-wife bonding like high school girlfriends. And more. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tom Parks.

    Journey Thru the Unknown: The Memoirs of the Unknown Comic , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 679min
    The memoir of Murray Langston, aka The Unknown Comic, is a detailed account of the highlights and lowlights of each year of his life from June 27, 1944, until his 69th birthday on June 27, 2013. It's the story of how a poor kid from Montreal, being influenced by Jerry Lewis, longed to follow in his funny steps and somehow leave Canada and make it to Hollywood.

Hear about Murray appearing for four years with Sonny and Cher, working alongside Ronald Reagan, O. J. Simpson, Bobby Darin, the Jackson 5, and his hero at the time, Jerry Lewis, among so many others.

    The Depth of Grace: Finding Hope at Rock Bottom , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 638min
    Bronson Haley lived life so fast - one filled with crime, violence, alcohol, and conducting business with the Mexican drug mafia - that he’d sometimes wake up in a jail cell without having a clue as to how he got there. As one of the most feared street fighters in Shreveport, Louisiana, Bronson had a reputation that preceded him - and usually made people get out of his way. After a miraculous and well-publicized conversion to Christianity, Bronson ended up in an affair with a deacon’s wife in the megachurch in which he was saved. That’s when Bronson committed what he describes as spiritual suicide - what takes place after a fallen Christian or sinner believes they have made decisions that place them beyond the boundaries of redemption and reconciliation with God. Not only did he turn back to his old way of life, but he took his sin to exponential heights with drugs, violence, and an increase in lawlessness with his fellow millennial rebels. In his audiobook The Depth of Grace: Finding Hope at Rock Bottom, Bronson shares the highlights - and lowlights - of his life...and he pulls no punches. All the raw, gritty details are here, showing how Bronson failed miserably time and again. After his public and disgraceful failure with God, Bronson isolated himself with the Bible for three years and endured terrible suffering. What he found is breathtaking and will no doubt shake up the religious institution and the world of rebels, as the true love of the resurrected Jesus comes to light. In addition to sharing his personal story of a painful childhood, a tumultuous lifestyle, and finding Jesus a few different times as a disgraced millennial himself, Bronson includes “Rest Stops” throughout his audiobook. These Bible teachings contain raw revelations of grace that penetrate deep enough into the hearts of today’s sinners to capture their souls. The rest stop chapters dig deep into the word, but the content does not beat down the listener a ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: J. Bronson Haley.
