    Alive: The Story of the Andes Survivors , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 671min
    On October 12, 1972, a plane carrying a team of young rugby players crashed into the remote, snow-peaked Andes. Out of the 45 original passengers and crew, only 16 made it off the mountain alive. For 10 excruciating weeks, they suffered deprivations beyond imagining, confronting nature head-on at its most furious and inhospitable. And to survive, these men and women not only had to keep their faith; they had to make an impossible decision: Should they eat the flesh of their dead friends? A remarkable story of endurance and determination, Alive is the dramatic best-selling account of one of the most harrowing quests for survival in modern times. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Sarranda , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 443min
    Not all the cruelties, deprivations, and horrors of the Civil War took place on the battlefield. The women left behind must survive. With unflinching honesty and a survivor's grace and humor, young Sarranda chronicles her life during the pre- and post-Civil War years in isolated western North Carolina's Greene Valley. From childhood when her father leaves for California gold fields through a youthful marriage, motherhood, and the turbulent losses the war brings, she endures deprivation, hunger, emotional losses, and the lawlessness of marauding outliers with courage and determination. She finds solace in her grandfather's love and at his grist mill and an unexpected awakening in the arms of an unnamed stranger - Union or Confederate - passing through. In a time disrupted, a family fragmented, and a land almost destroyed, Sarranda reveals the strength, endurance, and spirit of the mountain woman and of all women who must make do during war and its aftermath. ungekürzt.

    The Final Race , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 449min
    On July 19, 1924, Eric Liddell was on top of the world. He was the most famous Briton at the time, having just won the gold in the Olympic 400-meter race. The story of that race - and the one he didn't run - was told in the popular movie classic Chariots of Fire. But what most of us don't know is what became of Eric Liddell in the years after the credits rolled. As the storm clouds of World War II rolled in, Eric Liddell had already made decisions in his life that gave him the resilience to stand tall while others fell into despair. His strength of character led him to choose an uncertain future in China during World War II to continue helping the Chinese. He lived purposefully, even as his world crumbled and he experienced the horror and deprivations of a Japanese internment camp. Eric's story is a story of hope in the face of uncertainty, resilience in the face of unspeakable odds, and an inspiring vision of what life means, even when the final hour comes. ungekürzt.

    Beneath a Marble Sky , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 835min
    In 1632, the Emperor of Hindustan, Shah Jahan, overwhelmed with grief over the death of his beloved wife, Mumatz Mahal, commissioned the building of a grand mausoleum to symbolize the greatness of their love. The story surrounding the construction of the Taj Mahal occurs, however, against a scrim of fratricidal war, murderous rebellion, unimaginable wealth, and, not least of all, religious fundamentalism ruthlessly opposing tolerance and coexistence between the disparate peoples in the empire. At that time, Hindustan comprised all of modern Pakistan and Kashmir, most of eastern Afghanistan, and two-thirds of the Indian subcontinent (roughly north of Bombay to the Himalayas). Beneath a Marble Sky, narrated by Princess Jahanara, eldest daughter of Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal, recounts their story, and her own as well, a parallel tale of forbidden love enduring censure and extreme deprivations. Beneath a Marble Sky brims with action and intrigue befitting an epic era when, alongside continuous war, architecture and its attendant arts reached a pinnacle of perfection. In a splendid debut, John Shors has crafted an immensely listenable and well-researched historical novel of surprisingly contemporary relevance. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mozhan Marno.

    The Cooked Seed: A Memoir , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 913min
    In 1994, Anchee Min made her literary debut with a memoir of growing up in China during the violent trauma of the Cultural Revolution. Red Azalea became an international bestseller and propelled her career as a successful, critically acclaimed author. Twenty years later, Min returns to the story of her own life to give us the next chapter, an immigrant story that takes her from the shocking deprivations of her homeland to the sudden bounty of the promised land of America, without language, money, or a clear path. It is a hard and lonely road. She teaches herself English by watching Sesame Street, keeps herself afloat working five jobs at once, lives in unheated rooms, suffers rape, collapses from exhaustion, marries poorly and divorces. But she also gives birth to her daughter, Lauryann, who will inspire her and finally root her in her new country. Min's eventual successes-her writing career, a daughter at Stanford, a second husband she loves-are remarkable, but it is her struggle throughout toward genuine selfhood that elevates this dramatic, classic immigrant story to something powerfully universal. ungekürzt.

    Sixty Days in Combat: An Infantryman's Memoir of World War II in Europe, Hörbuch, Digital, 104min
    “The infantryman’s war is... without the slightest doubt the dirtiest, roughest job of them all.” He went in as a military history buff, a virgin, and a teetotaler. He came out with a war bride, a taste for German beer, and intimate knowledge of one of the darkest parts of history. His name is Dean Joy, and this was his war. For two months in 1945, Joy endured and survived the everyday deprivations and dangers of being a frontline infantryman. His amazingly detailed memoir, self-illustrated with numerous scenes Joy remembers from his time in Europe, brings back the sights, sounds, and smells of the experience as few books ever have. Here is the story of a young man who dreamed of flying fighter aircraft and instead was chosen to be cannon fodder in France and Germany... who witnessed the brutality of Nazis killing Allied medics by using the cross on their helmets as targets... and who narrowly escaped being wounded or killed in several “near miss” episodes, the last of which occurred on his last day of combat. Sixty Days in Combat re-creates all the drama of the “dogface’s” fight, a time that changed one young man in a war that changed the world. Language: English. Narrator: Don Hastings.

    The Way to Pentecost , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 259min
    In our day, much as in Chadwick's, Pentecost is mostly misunderstood by the Church at large and is therefore either feared or turned into a circus. In both cases the Spirit of God is either lacking or completely grieved. This is evident in the absence of power; power to embrace and live a holy life in spite of the deprivations of the professing church and the pollutions of the world around us. "The Christian religion is hopeless without the Holy Ghost" and yet the majority of the Church seems to be content without Him and His tangible presence. In "The Way to Pentecost", Chadwick sets forth the Biblical presentation of Pentecost, the giving of the Holy Ghost, and what that means for Christians throughout the Church Age. Christians today are in as much, or greater, need of a fresh presentation of Pentecost as ever. Lack of power and victory are the inevitable witnesses to this fact. The Way to Pentecost is a call for the true Church of Jesus Christ to rise up and take possession of the promise of the Father. "The only power that is adequate for Christian life and Christian work is the power of the Holy Ghost." ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Micah Lee.

    Mediterranean Diet for Beginners: How to Use the Mediterranean Diet Paradox to Weight Loss, Living Healthier and Longer, by Dining with Your Family and Friends-14 Day Diet Meal Plan-Easy Cookbook , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 233min
    Why people living in Mediterranean countries have a lower risk of suffering from heart disease or inflammation, by eating commonly and drinking red wine without deprivations?Are you sure that the Mediterranean diet is just a diet?The most commonly understood version of the Mediterranean diet was presented by Walter Willett and collaborators of Harvard University's School of Public Health since 1995.The Mediterranean diet is based on a paradox: WHY people living in Mediterranean countries eat relatively high amounts of fat and they have far lower incidences of cardiovascular disease than in countries like the United States where similar levels of fat consumption are found?This phenomenon is also known as the French Paradox!By 2012, the Mediterranean diet has been promoted by some authors as a diet for losing weight and living longer, and the research activity remained high with positive outcomes reported for various disease conditions.Those are some pretty impressive statistics that are enough for many people to attempt a Mediterranean diet.  In a study published in The Lancet: Diabetes and Endocrinology, researchers demonstrated that this diet controls weight sustainably and safely.In a four-year study conducted on more than 400 participants, who followed a Mediterranean diet, 52% showed lower risk in relation to type 2 diabetes. This result was based on food control without the involvement of any exercise.The chance of developing breast cancer is also 68 percent less in Mediterranean countries.The research analysis posted in the journal of Molecular Psychiatry found that 33 percent of people are at lower risk for depression when following a Mediterranean diet (Lassale et al., 2018). While certain studies help to showcase the advantages of the Mediterranean diet, there are millions that live in the Medi ungekürzt.
