Rock Bottom to Rock Star: Lessons from the Business School of Hard Knocks , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 271min
Can you remember that one time you got recognized or someone thanked you for your contribution to their life? You were a rock star, even for just one second. This book isn't about a charmed path to success or some untouchable fairy tale that nobody can relate to - this is about going from rock bottom to rock star, something that everybody can relate to. In his first book, Blair shared the brutally honest story of how he went from an at-risk youth sleeping on a mattress on the floor of a shack to a self-made multimillionaire by his early 20s. As his story became a national sensation, fans started asking him how they, too, could become entrepreneurs, take their careers to the next level, and achieve financial freedom. Rock Bottom to Rock Star answers those questions. Blair has battled extreme obstacles: life as a former gang member, balancing a demanding career with single parenthood, building and selling multiple companies, and making and losing tens of millions of dollars (sometimes all in one day). He wants to help others avoid the mistakes he made in the school of hard knocks, so he has compiled his unique advice for going from rock bottom to rock star in whatever field you choose to pursue. Much of his advice is counterintuitive and definitely not what you would learn in business school. Here's one example: "Don't believe your own hype. The moment you start celebrating, you've left the stage. It wasn't celebration that made you a rock star. It was hard work." If you're serious about making the most of your life and you're ready to become the "rock star next door" instead of just looking up to them, this may be the most rewarding book you'll ever hear. ungekürzt.

Good Cop, Sad Cop: Stories Behind the Badges of Our Heroes in Blue , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 109min
“I'll never forget the first time I killed a man. Wait...I'm getting way ahead of myself calling it a killing. Yes, I did kill him, but you couldn't really classify it as a murder. I shot him in order to save an innocent person's life, in the line of duty. I used to be a cop. Until I killed - but a justified shooting - a young man by the name of Tommy Ray Wallace. After that? I was a useless drunk. I lost everything. And the girl whose life I saved? She never even thanked me for it.”So says Ben Striker, former cop - and hero. He lost everything that day, in the line of duty. His job, his family, his faith, his integrity, all gone in the blink of an eye.Cops are real heroes, who more often than not don't get the respect or recognition they deserve. Heroes are only human, too, and at times, in the midst of all the horror and pain and helplessness they feel on the job - and at home, behind the badge - yes, they are vulnerable, and they may falter like everyone else.In the book Good Cop, Sad Cop, author David Boyer provides an insight into the private lives of our men and women in blue and how much they have to deal with behind the scenes, often having to suffer in silence.Please pray everyday for our police officers. They have a very tough job. We cannot expect them to wallow in the filth of society day in and day out without our full support and our prayers. Who among us is willing to give our lives for people we don't know or for people who don't care about us? That is what they are willing to do every day they put on their uniforms and leave home - and when they go back home, too. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: George Vetter.

The Ax of Gold: A Greek Folktale, Hörbuch, Digital, 7min
Award-winning storyteller Bill Gordh (Film Advisory Board Award of Excellence winner, National Association of Parenting Periodicals Gold Award winner) presents this folk tale live with no script, accompanied only by his own dynamic banjo playing. An old farmer was out in the woods chopping wood for his family when his ax slipped from his hands and went flying into the river. The farmer was so upset, he cried out to the river. The river spirit heard him and up out of the river rose a silver ax. "Is this your ax?" asked the River Spirit. The framer would have loved the ax, but he was an honest man and he said, "No." The silver ax went back into the water. Then out of the waters came a gold ax. "Is this your ax?" asked the River Spirit. Again the old man answered, "No." The gold ax went back down into the water. Now the man's old ax came up out of the water. "Is this your ax?" "Yes!" exclaimed the man. "That's it!" and the ax moved across the water into the man's outstretched hands. He thanked the River Spirit and began to leave. The Spirit asked him to stop and told him that for his honesty, he could have the ax of silver and the ax of gold. The man wept with joy. When he told some people in town about what had happened, one of his neighbors decided that he would do the same thing and get rich. He grabbed his ax and threw it into the river and pretended to cry. The river spirit brought up an ax of gold and the man claimed it as his own. When he reached out for the gold ax, the ax moved back out over the water and the man fell in and floated away. Language: English. Narrator: Bill Gordh.

Two Opposites Souls Collide, Book 4: When Lesbians Play , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 29min, (USK 18)
New Beginnings. Anne quickly drove back to Jenna's house. Tears were falling from her eyes, messing up the make-up that the woman from the Four Seasons had taken so long to put on her. She didn't care. She wiped underneath her eyes, seeing mascara come running off. She quickly reached into her purse that was on her lap, and as she made all kinds of turns, to make sure in case he was following her, he'd lose her. She dialed Jenna's number. "Hey girl, can I come spend the night, well, maybe a few nights..." She heard on the other end of the line exactly what she knew she'd hear. Jenna told her that she was always more than welcome at her home. "What happened? How could he possibly have gotten mad at you? You've only been gone away from me for 30 minutes!" Jenna exclaimed. Anne gave her a brief rundown of what had happened at the restaurant. When she was finished, Jenna was outraged. "I can't believe he did that to you! Well, don't you worry. Just get over here as soon as you can. I'll have my two men standing out back by the garage so he doesn't bother you. Pull right into the garage." Anne thanked her and they hung up, and head straight to Jenna's house. When she arrived, just as Jenna had said, there were two men standing outside of the garage waiting for her. As soon as she pulled up, she opened the door with the garage door opener inside of the car, and the men came in as the door closed behind her. She got out of the car, and the men escorted her into the house, without a word being exchanged. As soon as Anne entered the house, Jenna came running to her. ungekürzt. Language: English.

I'm an Idiot, Hörbuch, Digital, 41min, (USK 18)
A multitalented farm boy from Hutchinson, Kansas, Brett Riley considers himself the proverbial everyman. Everyone who comes across this "slim-fat" white guy with a small-town Kansas demeanor and a friendly "I've met this guy before" face has the same reaction: "Didn't see that coming." An accomplished comedian and vocalist with an endless grab bag of stories, observations, and opinions, his motto is "forget the formula", because "we are the formula, and in a nutshell, we should strive to leave our own footprints rather than follow in those of others". His comedy career was born at the age of 20, when he was signed up by a friend for an open-mic night. "The club owner said that he was going to give me the light in five minutes, and that means you're done and off stage, no questions asked. But the light never came on, and, at the time where I realized I'd been up there for about 15 minutes, I thanked the crowd and went off. The club owner came up to me and offered me two hundred dollars to come back and open for the guy he had coming in from Memphis, which for us was the big city. That's where it started." Two years after moving to LA, Brett was stopped in his tracks by a near-fatal car accident. Afraid of being forgotten, he limped back onstage with crutches just two weeks after the accident. Today, after doing stand-up for 15 years, Brett is a crowd favorite. His act is ever evolving, much like himself. His material comes from his real-life experiences. He talks about life as a married dad, his real-life frustrations, and his take on pop culture. His audiences find him totally relatable and engaging. Brett Riley is a stand out performer in a Los Angeles comedy scene that is overflowing with talent. He is a force to be reckoned with! Language: English. Narrator: Brett Riley.

Cherry Blossoms in April: Yone Noguchi’s The Spirit of Japanese Art , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 145min
This is a new edition of Yone Noguchi’s classic text, The Spirit of Japanese Art.Excerpt from the Introduction:"When I left home toward a certain Doctor’s who had promised to show me his collection of chirography and art, the unusual summer wind which had raged since midnight did not seem to calm down; the rain-laden clouds now gathered, and then parted for the torrent of sunlight to dash down. I was most cordially received by him, as I was expected; in coming under threat of the weather I had my own reasons. I always thought that summer was worse than spring for examining (more difficult to approve than deny) the objects of art, on account of our inability for concentrating our minds; the heat that calls all the shoji doors to open wide confuses the hearts of bronze Buddhas or Sesshu’s 'Daruma' or Kobo’s chirography or whatever they be, whichever way they have to turn, in the rush of light from every side; I thanked the bad weather to-day which, I am sure, I should have cursed some other day. The Doctor’s house had an almost winter-sad aspect with the shoji, even the rain-doors all shut, the soft darkness assembling at the very place it should, where the saints or goddesses revealed themselves; hanging after hanging was unrolled and rolled before me in quick succession. 'Doctor, tell me quick whose writing is that?' I loudly shouted when I came to one little bit of Japanese writing. 'That is Koyetsu’s,' he replied. 'Why, is it? It seems it is worth more than all the others put together; Doctor, I will not ask you for any more hangings to-day,' I said. And a moment later, I looked at him and exclaimed in my determined voice:'What will you say if I take it away and keep it indefinitely?''I say nothing at all, but am pleased to see how you will enjoy it,' the Doctor replied.'" ungekürzt.

Cinderella Sims: The Classic Crime Library, Book 14 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 280min
There's no glass slipper in this fairy tale - just a damsel in distress, a bag of cash, and a whole lot of dead bodies.Reporter Ted Lindsay is trying to forget his ex-wife, and New York City's tough streets are just what the doctor ordered. They're also filled with alluring women, but only one catches Ted's eye. Cinderella Sims is not only beautiful, she's on the run and she needs Ted's help. She's got a bag full of cash and some very angry people staking out her apartment. Before long Ted's forgotten his heartbreak and is launched into the dark streets of crime with Cindy at his side.The author speaks:“Look, this wasn’t my idea.Three or four years ago, Bill Schafer suggested that I might give some consideration to republishing a book of mine called $20 Lust, which had originally appeared under a pen name. I recalled the book he meant, but dimly; I had, after all, written it in 1960. But I didn’t need to remember it all that vividly to know the answer to his suggestion.No, I told him.A little later I suggested he might want to publish a fancy edition of Mona, the first book under my own name; it had come out as a paperback original in 1961, and we could celebrate its fortieth anniversary with a nice limited edition hardcover.Bill was lukewarm to the notion, but had an alternative proposal; how about issuing a double volume, containing Mona and $20 Lust? Once again, I didn’t have to do a lot of soul-searching to come up with a response.No, I told him.Time passed. Then Ed Gorman, the Sage of Cedar Rapids, used an ancient private eye novelette of mine in a pulp anthology. When it came out he sent me a copy, and, while I didn’t read my novelette - I figured it was enough that I wrote the damned thing - I did read his introduction, which I found to be thoughtful and incisive and generous. I e-mailed him and told him so, and he e-mailed me back and thanked me, adding that my ear ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Theo Holland.

Reflect the Glory of God in Prayer: How to Transform Your Prayer Life in Seven Simple Steps , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 151min
It was the spring of 2001 during my second semester of seminary that I enrolled in a class titled Biblical Exposition of Prayer. I was very excited about the topic, since Dr. James Rosscup, who had recently completed a book on every prayer of the Bible, was teaching the class. One of the requirements was to pray every day, for one hour, journaling as well, for 16 straight weeks. The other students in the class were eager to pray as well. We had visions of becoming great prayer warriors like the Apostle Paul, E.M. Bounds, and George Mueller. However, by the end of the first week, many of us were tired and frustrated. One cried out it was legalistic to force us to pray. Another said it was an impossible assignment. Most of us ran out of ideas for prayer by the middle of the week. We were humiliated by our inability to pray effectively.It was at that moment, I realized why so many of us struggle to pray consistently. It’s hard work. It requires time, thoughtfulness, and teamwork to discover, learn, and listen to the needs of others. It entails compassion and love to hear and set aside time to pray for the needs of others. It involves an effort to faithfully pray and follow up to know how to continue in prayer. This can only be done with the help of the Holy Spirit. At the end of the 16 weeks, we looked at each other and thanked the Lord for helping us finish the course. We desired to continue in the discipline of prayer after the class was over. Praying daily is difficult. That struggle gave birth to this book.After that semester, I had an opportunity to preach on prayer and what I had been learning from studying all the prayers of the Bible. It was during the preparation of that sermon that the principles of R.E.F.L.E.C.T. the Glory of God were born. You are probably thinking, who needs another prayer acronym, let alone one that is seven letters long! However, the approach of this book is not about formulas, methodologies, or extreme workout routines. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: John David Fallahee.
