Cinderland: A Memoir , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 443min
A riveting literary debut about the cost of keeping quiet. Amy Jo Burns grew up in Mercury, Pennsylvania, an industrial town humbled by the steel collapse of the 1980s. Instead of the construction booms and twelve-hour shifts her parents' generation had known, the Mercury Amy Jo knew was marred by empty houses, old strip mines, and vacant lots. It wasn't quite a ghost town - only because many people had no choice but to stay. The year Burns turned ten, this sleepy town suddenly woke up. Howard Lotte, its beloved piano teacher, was accused of sexually assaulting his female students. Among the countless girls questioned, only seven came forward. For telling the truth, the town ostracized these girls and accused them of trying to smear a good man's reputation. As for the remaining girls - well, they were smarter. They lied. Burns was one of them. But such a lie has its own consequences. Against a backdrop of fire and steel, shame and redemption, Burns tells of the boys she ran from and toward, the friends she abandoned, and the endless performances she gave to please a town that never trusted girls in the first place. This is the story of growing up in a town that both worshipped and sacrificed its youth - a town that believed being a good girl meant being a quiet one - and the long road Burns took toward forgiving her ten-year-old self. Cinderland is an elegy to that young girl's innocence, as well as a praise song to the curative powers of breaking a long silence. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jorjeana Marie.

The Cooper Union Address: The History of the Speech That Helped Abraham Lincoln Win the Presidency , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 138min
Includes excerpts from the speech Includes reactions to the speech from newspaper reports and audience members "It is surely safe to assume that the [39] framers of the original Constitution and the [76] members of the Congress which framed the amendments thereto, taken together, do certainly include those who may be fairly called 'our fathers who framed the [g]overnment under which we live'. And so assuming, I defy any man to show that any one of them ever, in his whole life, declared that, in his understanding, any proper division of local from federal authority, or any part of the Constitution, forbade the [federal government] to control as to slavery in the federal territories." (Abraham Lincoln) "[O]ne of the most happiest and most convincing political arguments ever made in this [city] ... No man ever made such an impression on his first appeal to a [New York] audience." (Horace Greeley) After the Lincoln-Douglas debates made Lincoln a nationally recognized politician, Illinois papers began to mention Lincoln as a Republican candidate for president in 1859. Lincoln was humbled, though a bit dumbfounded. He thought himself more suited for the Senate, where he could orate and discuss ideas. Moreover, there were Republicans of much greater national prominence on the East Coast, particularly William Seward. Lacking any administrative experience, Lincoln wasn't sure he would enjoy being president, but even being considered was a great honor, and he quietly thought the idea over. In fact, Lincoln was still not considered a real option for the nomination until he delivered a speech at New York City's Cooper Union in February, 1860, just a few months before the Republicans' convention in May. ungekürzt.

Influence: Leading Like Jesus , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 347min
How did Jesus lead people? This matters because without leadership there is no discipleship - without discipleship there is no church. Discipleship is indispensable. Yet discipleship is often the battlefield upon which religious/culture does war against itself and its purpose. In the ministry of Jesus, we find deep-seated principles that illustrate how Jesus created disciples. These principles speak to every issue of Christian leadership and church culture. Jesus did not create rule sets. Jesus did not offer discipleship manuals. His leadership was astonishing to those who witnessed it. Yes, he did miracles - but no one was quoted saying Jesus did miracles unlike anyone. What the people said was that no one spoke like him. Jesus sounded unlike any religious leader the people had ever heard. Jesus did not try to organize them, rule them, or control them. He taught enigmatically, in parables and aphorisms- yet he always challenged the listener with the unspeakable mystery of the kingdom of heaven. Jesus’ leadership style celebrated influence rather than control, choice rather than manipulation. Jesus’ teaching leaves the listener with the impression that he mistrusted rules, systems, and formulas. Jesus would offer a parable, a truth, a concept, then leave the listener to wrestle with it, to make application, to organize himself or herself in response to that insight. The issue of control versus influence lies at the heart of ministry. Yet control versus influence can become a culture war between church liberals and church conservatives. Sincere people disagree. Yet isn’t it interesting that the One who actually had power forsook it, and humbled himself to influence and invitation? This book seeks to show how Jesus used levels of discipleship to orient people toward the Kingdom of Heaven. And how we can use levels of discipleship to create an influence culture in our own Christian efforts. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Nathan J. Elms.

Everest, Revised & Updated Edition: Mountain Without Mercy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 363min
David Breashears, the first American to scale Everest twice, was a veteran of nine previous Himalayan filmmaking expeditions when he agreed to lead what became his most challenging filmmaking experience. The expedition was organized by large-format motion picture producer MacGillivray Freeman Films and comprised an international team of climbers. Their goal was to carry a specially modified forty-eight-pound IMAX motion picture camera to the summit of Everest and return from the top of the world with the first footage ever shot there in this spectacular format. A stunningly illustrated portrait of life and death in a hostile, high-altitude environment where no human can survive for long, Everest invites you to join Breashears, his climbers, and his crew as they make photographic history. Author Broughton Coburn traces each step of the team's progress toward a rendezvous with history - and suddenly you're on the scene of a disaster that riveted the world's attention. Everest incorporates a first-person, on-the-scene account of the most tragic event in the mountain's history: the May 10, 1996, blizzard that claimed eight lives, including two of the world's top climbing-expedition leaders. It is a chronicle of the courage and cooperation that resulted in the rescue of several men and women who were trapped on the lethal, windswept slopes. Everest is also a tale of triumph. In a struggle to overcome both the physical and emotional effects of the disaster on Everest, Breashears and his team rose to the challenge of achieving their goal - humbled by the mountain's overwhelming power yet exhilarated by their own accomplishment. Includes a bonus PDF with photographs. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio. ungekürzt.

The Age of Miracles: Embracing the New Midlife , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 260min
The need for change as we get older - an emotional pressure for one phase of our lives to transition into another - is a human phenomenon, neither male nor female. There simply comes a time in our lives - not fundamentally different from the way puberty separates childhood from adulthood - when it's time for one part of ourselves to die and for something new to be born. The purpose of this book by best-selling author and lecturer Marianne Williamson is to psychologically and spiritually reframe this transition so that it leads to a wonderful sense of joy and awakening. In our ability to rethink our lives lies our greatest power to change them. What we have called "middle age" need not be seen as a turning point toward death. It can be viewed as a magical turning point toward life as we've never known it, if we allow ourselves the power of an independent imagination - thought forms that don't flow in a perfunctory manner from ancient assumptions merely handed down to us, but rather flower into new archetypal images of a humanity just getting started at 45 or 50. What we've learned by that time, from both our failures as well as our successes, tends to have humbled us into purity. When we were young, we had energy but we were clueless about what to do with it. Today, we have less energy, perhaps, but we have far more understanding of what each breath of life is for. And now at last, we have a destiny to fulfill - not the destiny of a life that's simply over, but rather the destiny of a life that is finally truly lived. Midlife is not a crisis; it's a time of rebirth. It's not a time to accept your death; it's a time to accept your life - and to finally, truly live it, as you and you alone know deep in your heart it was meant to be lived. ungekürzt.

The War of the Spanish Succession: The History of the Conflict Between the Bourbons and Habsburgs That Engulfed Europe , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 88min
The War of the Spanish Succession, fought at the beginning of the 18th century, was the last major war engaged in by French King Louis XIV, the legendary Sun King, and it was also the most famous of all military conflicts during his reign. While the length and the scope of the conflict are the primary reasons why people have given so much attention to it, another reason for its historical popularity is, no doubt, the fact that its outcome humbled the French king, to the delight of his many critics. He was, after all, the one who had given himself the lofty nickname of “the Sun King".During this lengthy European conflict, King Louis XIV of the Bourbon dynasty was pitted against Emperor Leopold of the Habsburg Dynasty of Austria as well as Leopold’s British and Dutch Allies. Lasting 13 years, the war spread from France and Austria to involve countries across the globe. All of it centered on what would become of Spain’s massive empire after the death of King Carlos II, who had no obvious successor to his crown. As an only child who had no children himself, Carlos II had been sickly his entire life, but as enfeebled as he was, he did preside over a rich empire that spread all the way across the Iberian Peninsula and included European territories in Italy and the Low Countries, land in North Africa, North and South America, and even as far away as the Philippines. Such an immense and wealthy empire needed a ruler, and as King Carlos II aged and weakened, everyone wanted to know who that would be. Considering the age-old rivalry between the kingdom of France and the Austrian Empire, it is no surprise that those two powers both set their sights on the Spanish throne. As each side started to advance a claim that they were the legitimate heir to the throne, the initial idea across the continent was to find a peaceable solution that would manage to avoid a full-blown conflict. At the end of the 17th century, it seemed as though diplomacy would prevail and t ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bill Hare.

Jesus: The Son of Man: By Those Who Knew Him , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 304min
Gibran's Jesus: The Son of Man is a portrayal of Christ through the eyes of His contemporaries - men and women who knew him as an enemy, friend, teacher, and Son. The characters, including Mary Magdalen, Simon Peter, Pontius Pilate, and Barabbas are brought to life against the social, political, and religious realities of Palestine and Rome at that period. The narration gives the listener the impression that they are there 2000 years ago, discussing what has become the most talked-about period in the history of our planet.Read here what Pilate's wife had to say to a Roman lady: 'I was walking with my maidens in the groves outside of Jerusalem when I saw Him with a few men and women sitting about Him; and He was speaking to them in a language which I only half understood. But one needs not a language to perceive a pillar of light or a mountain of crystal. The heart knows what the tongue may never utter and the ears may never hear. He was speaking to His friends of love and strength. I know He spoke of love because there was melody in His voice; and I know He spoke of strength because there were armies in His gestures. And He was tender, though even my husband could not have spoken with such authority. When He saw me passing by He stopped speaking for a moment and looked kindly upon me. And I was humbled; and in my soul I knew I had passed by a God. After that day His image visited my privacy when I would not be visited by man or woman; and His eyes searched my soul when my own eyes were closed. And His voice governs the stillness of my nights. I am held fast forevermore; and there is peace in my pain, and freedom in my tears. Beloved friend, you have never seen that man, and you will never see Him. He is gone beyond our senses, but of all men He is now the nearest to me.' ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Arthur Brown.
