Astrology and Zen: : Unlocking the Secrets of the Stars, Hörbuch, Digital, 46min

Astrology has been around ever since man looked up towards the stars and recognized an association of patterns in his own life. He saw the movement and noted times of birth. For thousands of years he refined his art. Today astrology has become a dirty word to many; unscientific and irrational. But is there still some truth to be found in its depth? Astrologer and author Lyn Birkbeck talks candidly about his own search for the truth and reveals that there is a time coming, predicted by the stars, when great change will occur in our society. He pinpoints the era of 2020. What will becomeof us? The stars tell. Ray Menezes has undertaken a study of the equally ancient philosophy of Zen and he tells us how it can help us today in this materialistic world of boom and bust. Do these age-old concepts still have relevance for us today? Language: English. Narrator: Philip Gardiner. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/real/000128/bk_real_000128_sample.mp3.

Look Up and Live Free!: How Changing Your Mind Changes Your Relationships, Finances, and World , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 186min

In John 10:10, Jesus tells us that, "The thief comes only to steal, kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly." Do you ever wonder why life seems to reflect the first half of this verse more than the second? Why is it that Jesus came to give us abundant life, yet so many Christians are living lives full of hopelessness, fear, and depression? In Look Up and Live Free!, Alicia V. Sharpe addresses how our minds and thoughts are some of the main factors behind it all. She pinpoints specific beliefs where we tend to place limits on ourselves and on God, accepting things that are not true and living unfulfilled lives hoping for the best while expecting the worst. As you choose to look up and fix your eyes on things above while keeping your thoughts on the truth of God's Word, you will see growth in every area of your life. ungekürzt. Language: English.

A Brief History of the Future: A Brave and Controversial Look at the Twenty-first Century , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 580min

What will planet Earth be like in 20 years? At mid-century? In the year 2100? Prescient and convincing, this book is a must-read for anyone concerned about the future. Never has the world offered more promise for the future and been more fraught with dangers. In this powerful and sometimes terrifying work, Attali analyzes the past and pinpoints nine distinct periods of human history, each with its world center of power and prestige, and predicts what the tenth will bring by the end of this century. Attali foresees the disappearance of individual countries and the dominance of a world government, with democracy prevailing. However, the ultimate, burning question is: Will we leave our children and grandchildren a world that is not only viable but better, or in this nuclear world bequeath to them a planet that will be a living hell? Either way, he warns, the time to act is now. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Alan Robertson. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/adbl/008354/bk_adbl_008354_sample.mp3.

Evolution 2.0: Breaking the Deadlock Between Darwin and Design , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 660min

When his missionary brother renounced faith in favor of atheism, Perry Marshall was plunged into crisis and doubt. He decided: “I”m going to let science make this decision for me.” He asked: “Is the hand at the end of my arm purposeful? Or is it purposeless?” He leapt into the void of evolution and the origin of life. He could not have begun to anticipate what he was about to discover. Living things were far more sophisticated than textbooks were saying. Nearly every cell in your body can edit its own DNA, combating random destructive copying errors, charting a path for its transformation. Evolution 2.0 pinpoints the central mystery of biology, offering a $10 million technology prize at naturalcode.org to the first person who can solve it - staffed by judges from Harvard, Oxford, and MIT. In this book you’ll find 70+ years of under-reported evolutionary science, including a great many women scientists whose work was sidelined and ignored...even Nobel Prizes that hint at possibilities modern science is only beginning to consider. ungekürzt.

Mech Zero: The Dominant , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 111min

Death awaits the curious! Out along the rim of the galaxy hangs a loose configuration of some 60 stars known as the Faustian Chain. This whorl of sparkling suns is rich in planets and occupies an irregular volume of space some 20 light years in diameter. From an external viewpoint, the Chain presents a colorful display of plasma-streams, luminous nebulae and sparkling pinpoints of light. The human colonists who settled the Chain were aware the region had recently been populated by other species - beings that had all but vanished after waging devastating wars thousands of years in the past. Little was known of them, but certain areas in which their artifacts still persisted were proscribed by interstellar law. Mech: Zero is a novella by best-selling author B. V. Larson. Set at the beginning of the Imperium Series, this story is a prequel to the outbreak of war. The series involves early human colonies in a region of space previously occupied by a vicious alien species. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mirron Willis.
