  Christchurch (eBook, ePUB)

  Christchurch owes its existence to natural features. The town is surrounded by large wide marshes at the confluence of its two rivers, the Stour and the Avon. This strategic position gave Christchurch its former name Tweoxneam ... 'the town between the rivers'. Its harbour was sheltered by nearby Hengistbury Head, an easily defensible site in more turbulent days, as well as an excellent look-out point. It was not until the 19th century that significant growth began, triggered by the advent of the railway and road improvements. Fortunately, the camera had been invented in time to record the Victorian development of the ancient town and a superb selection of old photographs is skilfully used by the author to illuminate her narrative account of the town's past and to give vivid insight into life in Christchurch up to the outbreak of the Second World War.

  Was the Reformation a Mistake?: Why Catholic Doctrine Is Not Unbiblical , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 511min

  Was the Reformation a mistake? In its actual historical context, it hardly seems fair to call the Reformation a "mistake". In 1517, the Church was in need of a spiritual and theological reform. The issues raised by Renaissance humanism - and by the profound corruption of the Church's leaders, the Avignon papacy, and the Great Schism in the 14th and 15th centuries - lingered unresolved. What were key theological problems that led to the Reformation? Theologian Matthew Levering helps listeners see these questions from a Catholic perspective. Surveying nine key themes - Scripture, Mary, Eucharist, Monasticism, Justification and Merit, Saints Priesthood, and Scripture - he examines the positions of Martin Luther and makes a case that the Catholic position is biblically defensible once one allows for the variety of biblically warranted modes of interpreting Scripture. At the same time, Levering makes clear that he cannot "prove" the Catholic case. The book concludes with a spirited response by "mere Protestant" theologian Kevin J. Vanhoozer. ungekürzt.

  The Culper Ring: The History and Legacy of the Revolutionary War's Most Famous Spy Ring , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 77min

  After the siege of Boston forced the British to evacuate that city in March 1776, Continental Army commander George Washington suspected that the British would move by sea to New York City, the next logical target in an attempt to end a colonial insurrection. He thus rushed his army south to defend the city. Washington guessed correctly, but it would be to no avail. Unlike Boston, New York City's terrain featured few defensible positions. The city lacked a high point from which to launch a siege, as the peninsula of Boston was fortunate to have. Moreover, Washington wasn't sure defending the city was necessary, hoping that an expedition launched toward Quebec like the one Benedict Arnold had led in late 1775 would keep the British away from New York anyway. However, Congress thought otherwise, and demanded that Washington defend New York. Washington thus did what he was told, and it nearly resulted in the army's demise. ungekürzt. Language: English.

  Nathan Hale: The Life and Legacy of the Revolutionary War's Most Famous Spy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 100min

  For over 230 years, American schoolchildren have been taught about the story of Nathan Hale, or at least a legend of it, and in the process the myth of Hale and his apocryphal final words have immortalized the young man as America's most famous spy, despite his failed mission. After the siege of Boston forced the British to evacuate that city in March 1776, Continental Army commander George Washington suspected that the British would move by sea to New York City, the next logical target in an attempt to end a colonial insurrection. He thus rushed his army south to defend the city. Washington guessed correctly, but it would ultimately be to no avail. Unlike Boston, New York City's terrain featured few defensible positions; the city lacked a high point from which to launch a siege, as the peninsula of Boston was fortunate to have. In the summer of 1776, the British conducted the largest amphibious expedition in North America's history at the time, landing over 20,000 troops on Long Island. Washington's army attempted to fight, but Washington was badly outmaneuvered, and his army was nearly cut off from escape. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Colin Fluxman.

  Outbreak: Green Fields, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 639min

  With nowhere left to run - where will you go? Most of the world's population is either dead or dying from a virus that looks a lot like the one Bree and Nate tried to destroy - and not all of them remain dead. Chased by hordes of zombies, they flee the city with what remains of their merry band of miscreants. But even when most of them survive the first day, they are far from safe - because there is no safe place left. The fight for survival forces them to become resourceful, and soon they realize that the undead might not be their only problem. In this new world, it's each man or woman out for themselves - and just because someone has a pulse doesn't necessarily mean they make a good ally. Yet there is hope - a bunker in Wyoming, outfitted with weapons and food, and above all else, defensible shelter for the winter. Can they survive the 2,000-mile trip across the country with nothing but the clothes on their back and what they can scavenge along the way? This is not the kind of challenge that Bree ever imagined she would have to face, but she's determined to survive - even if that means to learn how to on the job. ungekürzt. Language: English.

  Education for Thinking , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 441min

  What do we want schools to accomplish? The only defensible answer, Deanna Kuhn argues, is that they should teach students to use their minds well, in school and beyond. Bringing insights from research in developmental psychology to pedagogy, Kuhn maintains that inquiry and argument should be at the center of a "thinking curriculum" - a curriculum that makes sense to students as well as to teachers and develops the skills and values needed for lifelong learning. We have only a brief window of opportunity in children's lives to gain (or lose) their trust that the things we ask them to do in school are worth doing. Activities centered on inquiry and argument - such as identifying features that affect the success of a music club catalog or discussing difficult issues like capital punishment - allow students to appreciate their power and utility as they engage in them. Most of what students do in schools today simply does not have this quality. Inquiry and argument do. They are education for life, not simply more school, and they offer a unifying purpose for compulsory schooling as it serves an ever more diverse and challenging population. The book is published by Harvard University Press. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Cira Larkin. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/005649/bk_acx0_005649_sample.mp3.

  Discerning Welcome

  Welcoming the undocumented resident refugee into the life of the polis is a challenge for some communities and a moral imperative for others. This books provides a Christian ethic for church leaders, congregants, and their churches to discern a way of welcoming their neighbors who are refugees residing in the US without authorization. Grounded in political theology and the Presbyterian-Reformed faith tradition, the ethical debates presented here and the legal overview of US immigration and alienage laws applicable to the undocumented resident lead to practices of worship, witness, and welcome for churches that can be tailored to different contexts. When Jesus challenged the sharp lawyer to love his neighbor as himself, the lawyer asked Jesus: ""who is my neighbor?"" Jesus responded by telling him the parable of the Good Samaritan. Then Jesus asked the lawyer: ""who was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of the robbers?"" And the crestfallen lawyer answered: ""the one who showed him mercy."" Jesus told him ""to go and do likewise."" This book assists faith communities to find mercy for those undocumented refugee neighbors who many would condemn. It points a path towards doing the ""likewise"" of mercy in ethically defensible ways.
