    Return to the World of Wicked Gentlemen with The Counterfeit Viscount.

Now Archie must join Nimble, sleuthing out the knotty scandals of noble families and an infamously exclusive club. But Archie and Nimble are soon up against much worse than absent actresses, debauched drunks, and dreadful poetry recitals.

    It's In His Kiss
    The seventh of Julia Quinn's bestselling and beloved Bridgerton novels, now a series created by Shonda Rhimes for Netflix. This is Hyacinth Bridgerton's story - she's all grown up and ready to cause havoc . . . All the ton agree: there is no one quite like Hyacinth Bridgerton. Fiendishly smart, devilishly outspoken and - according to some, particularly one Gareth St. Clair - probably best in small doses. But there's something about her - something charming and vexing - that grabs one and won't quite let go. Gareth and Hyacinth cross paths at the annual - and annually discordant - Smythe-Smith musicale. To Hyacinth, Gareth's every word seems a dare, and she offers to help him out with a knotty inheritance problem he's facing. However, as they delve into the mysterious St Clair history, they discover that the answers they seek lie not in the past - but in each other; and that there is nothing as simple - or as complicated - as a single, perfect kiss.

    Hell's Brood: An Eve of Light Story Collection , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 330min
    Eve of Light is a dark metaphysical fantasy series chronicling the surreal events leading up to the apocalypse - the death of God. The setting is a contemporary, alternate Earth on the verge of a cataclysm that will warp space, time, and minds. The main narrative of those plotting and battling to save humanity is told in the Eve of Light series of novels. The short stories and novellas are simply flashes on the fringe - episodes about everyday men and women living in a world turned weird. This volume includes The Lark, Heaven's Gun, FoolKillers, Knotty & Ice, and Rogue Beauty, five disturbing stories that blend horror, noir, black humor, and urban fantasy. Dark fiction at its most bizarre, Hell's Brood is the perfect introduction to the Eve of Light series. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Susan Hanfield, Josh Petersdorf.

    Disappointment with God , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 452min
    Philip Yancey has a gift for articulating the knotty issues of faith. In Disappointment with God, he poses three questions that Christians wonder but seldom ask aloud: Is God unfair? Is he silent? Is he hidden? This insightful and deeply personal book points to the odd disparity between our concept of God and the realities of life. Why, if God is so hungry for relationship with us, does he seem so distant? Why, if he cares for us, do bad things happen? What can we expect from him after all? Yancey answers these questions with clarity, richness, and biblical assurance. He takes us beyond the things that make for disillusionment to a deeper faith, a certitude of God's love, and a thirst to reach not just for what God gives, but for who he is. ungekürzt.

    Playing in the Light: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 573min
    By the Windham Campbell Prize winner. Set in a beautifully rendered 1990s Cape Town, Zoë Wicomb’s celebrated novel revolves around Marion Campbell, who runs a travel agency but hates traveling, and who, in post-apartheid society, must negotiate the complexities of a knotty relationship with Brenda, her first black employee. As Alison McCulloch noted in the New York Times, "Wicomb deftly explores the ghastly soup of racism in all its unglory denial, tradition, habit, stupidity, fear and manages to do so without moralizing or becoming formulaic." Caught in the narrow world of private interests and self-advancement, Marion eschews national politics until the Truth and Reconciliation Commission throws up information that brings into question not only her family’s past but her identity and her rightful place in contemporary South African society. "Stylistically nuanced and psychologically astute" (Kirkus), Playing in the Light is as powerful in its depiction of Marion's personal journey as it is in its depiction of South Africa's bizarre, brutal history. ungekürzt.

    Knowing Scripture , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 255min
    The Bible is the written Word of God, and it is treasured by many. But it is also an ancient book about people and cultures very different than us. Thus, while we know we should read it, many of us have a hard time understanding the Bible. In this updated edition of Knowing Scripture, R. C. Sproul helps us dig out the meaning of Scripture for ourselves. The author says, "The theme of this book is not how to read the Bible but how to study the Bible." He presents in simple, basic terms a commonsense approach to studying Scripture and gives eleven practical guidelines for biblical interpretation and applying what we learn. With a minimum of technical jargon, Sproul tackles some of the knotty questions regarding differences of interpreting the Bible, including: Discovering the meanings of biblical words Understanding Hebrew poetry, proverbs and parables Approaching historical and didactic passages Being careful with predictive prophecy Discerning how culture conditions the Bible Choosing and using Bible translations, commentaries, Bible software and other helps. ungekürzt.
