The Death Factory: Penn Cage, Book 3.5 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 179min
Death is the end, and if a man doesn't speak before it silences him, then his deepest secrets go with him. From number-one New York Times best-selling author Greg Iles comes an original novella featuring former prosecutor Penn Cage, a story of family secrets and justice denied, plus an excerpt from his new novel, Natchez Burning. When a heart attack sends Penn's father, Tom Cage, to the ER, Tom begs that his son be brought to his side to hear a dying declaration. But when Penn arrives, Tom denies ever making the request - keeping his secrets for another day. The emergency hurls Penn back to a chilling case in Houston, where he worked in a DA's office known as the "death factory", which sent more killers to death row than any other in America. While Penn cares for his ailing wife, a tormented forensic technician brings him evidence of a crime lab in chaos, throwing past convictions into doubt and begging Penn to prevent an imminent travesty of justice. With the desperation of a man fighting death in his own home, Penn must find a way to bring the machinery of the death factory to a halt. Included here is an extended sneak preview of Natchez Burning, the first installment in an epic trilogy featuring Penn Cage. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: David Ledoux.

Questions at the Cross , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 95min
Since the first century the cross of Christ has been heralded as the centerpiece of the Christian faith. But, in spite of all the hymns sung, the sermons preached, and the books written about the cross, if a survey were taken among Christians today it would likely show that a great majority have a very shallow understanding of Christ's death on the cross. In these modern times much of this is due to a lack of any real interest in religion, but much of it is also due to error and distortion of the facts. All this is such a travesty. There are so many important unasked or unanswered questions about the cross of Christ. That is what prompted the creation of this audiobook. In this book we will go to the cross of Christ and ask those questions, questions like: Who was Jesus? How was Jesus' death different from that of any other man who has sacrificed his life for the sake of others? Why did Jesus die that cruel death? Was it God who tortured and killed Jesus? Did Jesus really bear the sins of the whole world on the cross? How are we "saved" by Christ's death? And can a person be saved without Christ's death? You will find these questions and more clearly answered in this book, and all the answers come exclusively from the scriptures. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sam Graves.

Thorn: Carter Kids Series, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 543min
Noah and Teagan's fragile relationship never stood a chance - not with Noah's meddling stepsister and Teagan's overbearing uncle - not to mention Noah's aggressive ex, Reece, and the volatile criminal gang out for the blood of both of them. Fast forward to seven years later, and Noah, fresh out of a prison cell, has taken the sports world by storm. He's the best. A fighter. The champ. Unattainable. Unbeatable. But none of that matters to Noah. All he wants is vindication and revenge on the woman who broke his heart and abandoned him when he needed her most - his Thorn. Teagan has spent the last seven years licking her wounds in a backstreet flat in Cork City. Left reeling over Noah's actions that night, Teagan has spent years trying to piece her life back together, but the memory of what she saw that night continues to haunt her, making her bitter and cold. Desperate to move on from Noah once and for all, Teagan throws herself into a relationship with her first love, Liam, forcing herself to move on despite the protests of her heart. One fateful night brings the pair back together again. For Noah, it's a triumph. For Teagan, it's a travesty. Old feelings burst to the surface, burning brighter and hotter than ever before, and throwing a spanner in the works for Teagan's fickle relationship with Liam. But are their feelings too strong to deny? Can she let go of the past? Can Noah trust the woman who walked away from him? Contains mature themes. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Acid Jazz Singer: Book One of the Hunger Hurts Series , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 435min
Her name was RayLee. They called her the Acid Jazz Singer, her sultry voice mesmerizing human and demon alike. She'd been running for three years from her maker and only Travis McKenzie stood between her and the darkness that had become her life. Travis hunted the hit squads of demons and paid lip service to the sheriff of the city. The half-blood had gifts of the magic shifting kind - and something more. It made him a stone cold killer and the only thing that mattered in his life was safeguarding the woman he was falling in love with. The singer and the protector had a history. But that history changed when a southern bigot vamp turned Travis' friend into a travesty - neither man, nor woman - but both. Travis fell hard for the trans known as RayLee. He was having a harder time dealing with his best friend, Ray. Then the game changes, and Travis and Ray have to rely on an assassin with a secret agenda and uncertain loyalties. Vladimira was the oldest of her kind, an enforcer - a gun for hire to the highest bidder. Vamp, human, demon. It didn't matter. It was all about the job - until the stakes changed and she found a reason to care. When the demon comes to claim Ray, Travis must walk through the bowels of hell to save the only being on earth he cares about. The problem is - who is going to save Travis from himself? ungekürzt.

Dragon Keeper: The Rain Wild Chronicles, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1022min
Guided by the great blue dragon Tintaglia, they came from the sea: a Tangle of serpents fighting their way up the Rain Wilds River, the first to make the perilous journey to the cocooning grounds in generations. Many have died along the way. With its acid waters and impenetrable forest, it is a hard place for any to survive. People are changed by the Rain Wilds, subtly or otherwise. One such is Thymara. Born with black claws and other aberrations, she should have been exposed at birth. But her father saved her and her mother has never forgiven him. Like everyone else, Thymara is fascinated by the return of dragons: it is as if they symbolise the return of hope to their war-torn world. Leftrin, captain of the liveship Tarman, also has an interest in the hatching; as does Bingtown newlywed, Alise Finbok, who has made it her life's work to study all there is to know of dragons. But the creatures which emerge from the cocoons are a travesty of the powerful, shining dragons of old. Stunted and deformed, they cannot fly; some seem witless and bestial. Soon, they become a danger and a burden to the Rain Wilders: something must be done. The dragons claim an ancestral memory of a fabled Elderling city far upriver: perhaps there the dragons will find their true home. But Kelsingra appears on no maps and they cannot get there on their own: a band of dragon keepers, hunters and chroniclers must attend them. To be a dragon keeper is a dangerous job: their charges are vicious and unpredictable, and there are many unknown perils on the journey to a city which may not even exist... ungekürzt.

Talk to Yourself Like a Buddhist: Five Mindful Tools to Silence Negative Self-Talk , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 214min
Change Your Words, Change Your World There are hundreds of books, workshops, and classes that teach us how to communicate effectively with others, but very few of us pay attention to how we speak to ourselves. Best-selling author and communication expert Cynthia Kane believes this is a travesty, and she is sounding the alarm! Kane writes that there in is an unreported epidemic of negative self-talk in our culture today. Many of us speak to ourselves in demeaning and hurtful ways, using language we would never use with anyone else. To make matters worse, we often don't even realize when we are doing this, as these old mental tapes play in repeating loops without our awareness. In Talk to Yourself Like a Buddhist, certified mindfulness and meditation instructor Cynthia Kane introduces the Middle Path of Self-Communication, which consists of five mindful tools - Listen, Explore, Question, Release, and Balance - all of which are grounded in Buddhist principles. This audiobook will show you how to: Identify your negative self-talk and explore the underlying self-judgments that produce it Release the judgments that are poisoning your self-communication Practice a system of balanced internal communication based on truth and compassion When we speak to ourselves negatively, we set a tone for our day and our interactions with others in the world. Talk to Yourself Like a Buddhist can teach you how to turn off the enemy in your mind - and create a new relationship with yourself and the world around you - simply by noticing, investigating, and changing the words you use to speak to yourself. ungekürzt.

Evil Inside Us: Dangers of No Impulse Control , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 278min
Is President Trump's fascism out of control? Why do powerful men masturbate in front of women? When do sexual cravings turn into sexual harassment? Are people just evil or horribly impulsive? People are not evil. But they do exhibit evil behavior. Evil Inside Us: Dangers of No Impulse Control addresses the sheer threat to self and others when you give into everything you want. Indulgence is more than gluttony. Indulgence is instant gratification. You indulge in urges or impulses for personal gain. But the effects can be apocalyptic. It can create monstrous and selfish behaviors that can disrupt jobs, friendships, partner relationships, daily routines, sexual habits and the government. Over-indulgers are addicts, aggressors, bullies, rule-violators and authoritarians, all of whom revel in stampeding on innocent victims. These victims become collateral casualties of callously insensitive indulgers, who dream big but act small, speak loud but say little, and inside are pure narcissists. This audiobook follows the principles of applied behavior analysis and behavioral systems to survey the three main areas drastically affected by urge-indulgence. The first area explored is why impulsive people are so unhappy and how this corrupts communication in marriages or partner relationships. The second area explored is how impulsiveness fosters anger and completely ruins friendships or parents' relationships with their children. The third area explored is how outwardly good people have evil or selfish impulses. Find out why sex habits spin out of control and lead to public masturbation and gross improprieties. What motivates powerful men in Capital Hill, Hollywood, Silicon Valley and the News Media to harass women? Exposed is the hypocrisy of impulsive people who act morally or politically righteous to hide their own debauchery. The audiobook ends with a spotlight on the travesty of President Donald Trump, the worst example of impulsiveness. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Doug Cooper.

Riders of the Purple Sage: The Restored Edition , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 749min
Now, for the first time in a century, Zane Grey’s best-known novel is presented in its original form exactly as he wrote it. When in the early 1900s Zane Grey took his manuscript to two publishing companies, they rejected it because of the theme of Mormon polygamy, fearing it would offend their readers and subscribers. Then Grey made a special plea to Frederick Duneka, who was vice-president of Harper & Bros. and who had been Mark Twain’s editor at that company. Duneka and his wife read the novel and liked it but feared it would offend some readers. Harper & Bros. agreed to publish a changed version of the novel and purchased both the book and magazine-serial rights. Given the task of executing the necessary editorial changes, a senior editor of the company made changes in tone, diction, and style as well as content. The novel first appeared in nineteen installments in the monthly magazine Field & Stream from January 1912 to July 1913. Blackstone Audio here presents the original, uncensored, unabridged novel Riders of the Purple Sage, obtained through the Golden West Literary Agency with the cooperation of Zane Grey’s son, Loren Grey, and the Ohio State Historical Society. In Cottonwoods, Utah, in 1871, a woman stands accused and a man is sentenced to whipping. Into this travesty of small-town justice rides the one man whom the town elders fear. His name is Lassiter, and he is a notorious gunman who's come to avenge his sister's death. It doesn't take Lassiter long to see that this once peaceful Mormon community is controlled by the corrupt Deacon Tull, a powerful elder who's trying to take the woman's land by forcing her to marry him, branding her foreman as a dangerous 'outsider'. Lassiter vows to help them. But when the ranch is attacked by horse thieves, cattle rustlers, and a mysterious masked rider, he realizes that they're up against something bigger, and more brutal, than the land itself. ungekürzt.
