    Making Great Life Choices... Creating a Wonderful Life!: The Value of Owning Timeshare as a Catalyst to Make Us Vacation , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 114min
    A breakthrough book about the actual realistic value of purchasing flexible vacation ownership as a catalyst to make us enjoy our life and commit to taking time to go on vacation. The positive benefits such ownership can have on our family, relationships with our partner and our friends that can improve our overall quality of life. This audiobook demonstrates the economic logic in owning versus renting our vacations in a practical discussion. Once the listener gets an unbiased view of owning versus renting their vacations (if they truly intend to go on great vacations), the economic benefits point exponentially in favor of ownership. Furthermore, the author discusses the intangible benefits that, in his own opinion, far outweigh the economic benefits. Holbrook asserts that ownership drives us to make the time to take the time for the things that matter most in life - family time, romance, fun and adventure, and reducing our stress and thus improving our overall quality of life. This work is one of the only positive and straightforward discussions on time share ownership, which has evolved greatly over the past 40 years into a truly useful and practical tool for most working folks to take special vacations and achieve their dream trips. The timeshare industry is full of rumors and innuendo that, when looked at from a full measure of transparency, are usually now operator errors rather than a failure of the actual merits of time share ownership. We fail to fly the mission and thus create our own shortcomings. Nonetheless, this audiobook gives the listener a positive and ethical view of the true merits and justification for time share ownership as a catalyst to creating a much higher quality of life and achieve our vacation goals in a practical and affordable manner. ungekürzt.

    Evening by Evening Readings for the Month of September: Readings at Eventide , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 83min
    Evening Readings for September by Charles H Spurgeon. From the book, "Evening by Evening" published by Charles H Spurgeon in 1868. Initially Spurgeon published, "Morning by Morning". Because this publication became so popular, he subsequently published "Evening Readings". This audio book is the evening readings for September.From the preface by Charles H Spurgeon." Having had the seal of our Master's blessings set upon our former volume entitled, "Morning by Morning," we have felt encouraged to give our best attention to the present series of brief meditations, and we send them forth with importunate prayer for a blessing to rest upon every reader. Already more than 20,000 readers are among our morning fellow worshippers. Oh, that all may receive grace from the Lord by means of the portion read; and when a similar numbers shall be gathered to read the evening selection, make the Fathers smile be their benison. We have striven to keep out the common track, and hence we have used unusual text, and have brought forward neglected subjects. The vice of many religious works is their dullness. from this we have striven to be free: all her friends must judge how far successfully. Out of our own experience we have drawn much of our matter, and we have always felt assured that a truth which has been sanctified to our own good will not be without unction for others. If we may lead one heart upward which otherwise had drooped, or so in a single mind a holy purpose which else had never been conceived, we shall be grateful. The Lord send this such results in thousands of instances, and his shall be all the praise. The longer we live the more deeply are we conscious that the Holy Spirit alone can make truth profitable to the heart; and therefore in earnest prayer we commit this volume and its companion to his care. ungekürzt.

    p53: The Gene That Cracked the Cancer Code , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 595min
    All of us have lurking in our DNA a most remarkable gene. Its job is straightforward - to protect us from cancer. This gene - known simply as p53 - constantly scans our cells to ensure that they grow and divide without mishap, as part of the routine maintenance of our bodies. If a cell makes a mistake in copying its DNA as part of its process of division, p53 stops it in its tracks, sending in the repair team before allowing the cell to carry on dividing. If the mistake is irreparable and the rogue cell threatens to grow out of control (as happens in cancer), p53 commands the cell to commit suicide. Cancer cannot develop unless p53 itself is damaged and malfunctioning. Not surprisingly, p53 is the most studied gene in history. This enormously important gene has teased the minds of some of the most colourful and ambitious scientists around the world. These characters populate Sue Armstrong's book p53: The Gene That Cracked the Cancer Code, the story of medical science's mission to unravel the mysteries of this gene and to get to the heart of what happens in our cells when they turn cancerous. p53: The Gene That Cracked the Cancer Code reveals the tale of the search for this gene, as well as the excitement of the hunt for new cures - the hype, the lost opportunities, the blind alleys, and the thrilling breakthroughs. As the long-anticipated revolution in cancer treatment tailored to each individual patient's symptoms starts to take off at last, p53 is still at the forefront of the game. This is a timely tale of scientific discovery and advances in our understanding of a disease that still affects more than one in three of us at some point in our lives. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Here to Stay , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 577min
    You can't sort of do this, Fish. Draw a line and get on one side or the other. Love is never so sweet as when it receives a second chance. In the sequel to her award-winning novel The Man I Love, Suanne Laqueur continues the story of Erik Fiskare's romance with Daisy Bianco. Though separated for 12 years, the extraordinary bond forged in their youth has endured. But when your soulmate has caused you indescribable pain, how easy is it to forgive? How much trust is needed to place your heart back into the hands that once broke it? How much faith does it take to ask the question, "Do you still want me?" and believe in the reply: "I still want us." Erik and Daisy commit to creating a new life together. They are separated by geography, loyal to career commitments, and burdened with lingering pain from a decade spent apart. Yet despite the challenges, Erik knows Daisy is the best thing to happen to him twice. Slowly Erik earns back Daisy's love, as well as the trust of his incomparable friend, Will Kaeger. Both relationships grow deeper and more complex, as do Erik's ties to the past. Unexpected contact with distant cousins offers new insight to the cruel childhood desertion that shaped so much of Erik's adult life. With Daisy at his side, he travels back to his hometown to meet his people, explore his family's history, and learn about the men who wore his heirloom necklace before him. The cathedral once torn down is rebuilt. But a love affair is never a finished thing. Life is never without its tragedies. Daisy and Erik soon face a threat more harrowing than gunfire, more sorrowful than the lost years. With Will at his back and family close by, Erik must fight for the things he once walked away from and prove his love is here to stay. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Vanessa DeSilvio.

    7 Checklist Items for Success: A Guide to a Richer and More Successful Life , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 318min
    “A US Navy physician shares his secrets for a more successful life in this self-help work. Mathurin conceived of his debut book when he realized how critical checklists are in the worlds of naval aviation and medicine. Itemized lists, he says, help avoid flight mishaps and operating room errors, so he wondered, ‘Why not apply this same concept to people’s lives to help them achieve their highest potential?’ That epiphany resulted in this book - a kind of instruction manual for living that breaks achievement into seven ‘checklist items: ‘Goals’, ‘Take Action’, ‘Courage to Consistently Commit’, ‘Value Resources’, ‘Investing in Yourself and Others’, ‘Giving Back’, and ‘Create a Legacy of Service to Others’. An introductory section helpfully explains each of the core concepts, in brief, and these same blocks of text are repeated at the beginning of each of seven chapters. The items themselves are unlikely to be new to most readers, as many of the ideas are common in self-help literature (such as ‘Have the courage to go the extra mile with everything that you do, each and every time’). But the presentation of the material feels more novel, as the overarching checklist concept isn’t taken literally; the book’s merit derives from the idea that one can systematically address several broad areas in the quest for a fuller life. At the very least, this notion gives the book a highly focused structure that makes it easy for readers to navigate. Unsurprisingly, given the author’s military and medical background, there’s a sense of logic and precision to this book. Each chapter’s content is uniformly positive and always emphasizes proactivity, but it’s also clear that the book isn’t intended to highlight step-by-step procedure. Instead, it offers a wide-ranging, general discussion of each list item, using examples and personal anecdotes to illustrate specific points. To that end, Mathurin writes from a very personal perspective - sharing, for example, how he grew ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: J.D. Hart.

    Lookin' for Trouble: Honky Tonk Angels, Book 6 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 347min
    Just when you thought things were starting to simmer down in Cotton Creek, something new crops up. And this time the attention is on the Sweet gals. Hannah may have found her dream guy in Cooper Quinlan, and she's damned determined to plan the perfect wedding - no matter who she drives crazy. Everything would be perfect if she could just ignore the little bursts of excitement she gets every time she sees Bryson Weathers. Cody isn't being much help. She doesn't give a hoot in hell about fancy dresses and weddings. What she does care about is the clandestine relationship she has with Jaxon Riggs. He's made no bones about the fact that he isn't looking for forever. She is, but if it's not in the cards, then so be it. Riggs trips her switch and she's not about to pass up one moment with him, nor is she about to let anything prevent her from being with him. That resolve was holding pretty firm until an old friend, Belinda, shows up with a three-year-old daughter, Bernice, in tow. Belinda is sick. If she doesn't get a kidney transplant she'll die. And she wants Cody to commit to being Bernice's godmother, to raise her if Belinda dies. It's a tall order, but Cody falls in love with the little girl and is ready to say yes. Then all hell breaks loose when Belinda says that Bernice's father is right there in Cotton Creek. If it's true, it's going to cause a whole lot of trouble. Come share the joys and woes, the danger and the fun as we prove once more that the old saying "nothing ever happens in Cotton Creek" needs to be changed to, "Looking for trouble? You've come to the right place." ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: J. Scott Bennett. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/084136/bk_acx0_084136_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    The Best Advice I Ever Got: Lessons from Extraordinary Lives , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 458min
    New York Times best sellerFor anyone who wants to see how today’s best and brightest got it right, got it wrong, and came out on top.  What was the tipping point for Malcolm Gladwell? What unscripted event made Meryl Streep who she is? In this inspiration-packed book, Katie Couric reports from the front lines of the worlds of politics, entertainment, sports, philanthropy, the arts, and business - distilling the ingenious, hard-won insights of leaders and visionaries, who tell us all how to take chances, follow our passions, cope with criticism, and, perhaps most important, commit to something greater than ourselves.Among the many voices to be heard here are financial guru Suze Orman on the benefits of doing what’s right, not what’s easy; director Steven Spielberg on listening rather than being listened to; quarterback Drew Brees on how his (literal) big break changed his life; and novelist Curtis Sittenfeld on the secrets of a great long-term relationship (she suggests marrying someone less neurotic than you); not to mention:Michael Bloomberg: “Eighty percent of success is showing up...early.”Eric Stonestreet: “Remember that the old lady who’s taking forever in line is someone’s grandma.”Joyce Carol Oates: “Read widely—what you want to read, and not what someone suggests that you should read.”Jimmy Kimmel: “When in doubt, order the hamburger.’”Apolo Ohno: “It’s not about the forty seconds; it’s about the four years, the time it took to get there.”Madeleine K. Albright: “Never play hide-and-seek with the truth.”Along the way, Couric reflects on the good advice - and the missteps - that have guided her from her early days as a desk assistant at ABC to her groundbreaking role as the first female anchor of the CBS Evening News. She reveals how the words of Thomas Jefferson helped her deal with her husband’s tragic death from cancer, and what encourag ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Governor , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 497min
    The Governor provides the most comprehensive look to date at the life of a twice-elected public official in the notoriously complicated world of Illinois politics. We take a tour through the segregated neighborhoods of Chicago, a city of great ethnic diversity, and see firsthand how those divides can evolve into cabals that rival anything found on the national political scene.We follow the governor as he is awakened early one morning - his young daughter sleeping peacefully beside him - and unceremoniously arrested by FBI agents without knowing the charges being brought against him. We see the harsh glare of the spotlight, the media whirlwind already staking out his home and family, rushing to judgment before even the governor himself knew what crimes he'd been accused of committing. We follow him through the maze of political conspiracies that threaten to unseat and impeach the governor of the fifth largest state in the U.S. - forces brought to light by the ambition of an attorney general and the greed of her Democratic State Party chairman father - as well as the zeal of a federal prosecutor and the manipulations of a disloyal lieutenant governor.The behind-the-scenes workings to fill the Senate seat vacated by the most popular President-elect in decades becomes something much more incendiary when wiretapped conversations are used by authorities to commit the arrest. But, as the governor soon learns, those tapes are not allowed to be played at his impeachment hearings in the House or Senate. What is on those tapes? And why will the prosecution not let them be heard if they were the primary factor in initiating the arrest that started this political scandal in the first place?Quoting from sources as diverse as Jim Wallis' God's Politics to Aeschylus, Shakespeare, and The Purpose Driven Life, The Governor provides not just an inside look at politics on a state and national level but a treatise on the proper place... ungekürzt.
