    The God Who Hung on the Cross: How God Uses Ordinary People to Build His Church , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 349min
    You won't hear the stories on the local news, but Jesus Christ is doing miracles in some of the most unlikely places around the world. His faith propelled Dois Rosser out of the boardroom and into villages in Mongolia, India, Congo, Cuba, and dozens of other needy nations to invest his earthly fortune in building churches and broadcasting the gospel. In this inspiring memoir, Rosser takes you on a jolting jeep ride to a village in India, where feeble lepers are joyfully building their church, stone by stone. He invites you to a funeral in Cuba, where the gospel's message of hope brings a Communist tour guide to new life in Christ. And with Cambodian villagers staring execution in the face, you'll stand in awe at the power and mercy of Christ. The God Who Hung on the Cross lets you experience the abundant, liberating power of God at work in everyday life. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Pam Ward, Grover Gardner.

    Meet Those Who Met the Master , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 237min
    When everyday people are confronted by the most charismatic individual in the history of the world, their reactions vary from doubt to anger to instant commitment; but one and all their lives are profoundly changed by the experience and so will the listener's be as they join in the character's encounter with the Master. For the most part, they were ordinary people…fishermen, farmers, craftsmen... some were powerful like the priests and the Pharisees... some were outcasts like the lepers and the possessed... but all had an opportunity unique in the history of our world - they personally met the Master. Each person who met Him was deeply affected. Jesus was a lightning rod... people were drawn to Him and had strong reactions to His actions and His message... reactions that were not always positive, definitive or committed. In Meet Those Who Met the Master, Reverend Wendell Mettey crafts complex human characters from the often minimal descriptions available in the Gospel and infuses them with all the passions, concerns and hesitations we might feel if confronted with this charismatic individual, Jesus Christ, who gives much but demands much as well. ungekürzt.

Dancing Lessons centers on Ever, a young man with Asperger's syndrome who seeks the instruction of a Broadway dancer to learn enough dancing to survive an awards dinner. The dancer, Senga, however, is recovering from an injury that may stop her dancing career permanently. As their relationship unfolds, they're both caught off-guard by the discoveries - both hilarious and heartwarming - that they make about each other and about themselves. Judith of Bethulia, written by and starring Broadway legend Charles Busch, is the world premiere of his new play which is an outrageous and bawdy celebration of the Hollywood biblical epic genre! Lepers, whores, eunuchs, centurions, evil generals, youthful poets, and a beautiful redheaded widow make Charles Busch's comedy a story worth praying for. The world premiere recording of Jeffrey Sweet's Kunstler brings to life William Moses Kunstler who journeyed from comfortable suburban lawyer to America's most revered and reviled attorney for the civil rights and radical movements of the last half of the 20th century.

    Mother Teresa: Get Inspired by Real Heroes , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 140min
    If ever there was a beacon of humility in the badlands of human suffering, it was best exemplified in the the selfless Catholic nun, Mother Teresa. Born to Albanian parents in the Ottoman Empire, Mother Teresa traveled to Ireland and joined the Sisters of Loreto order as a teenager with the intention of dedicating herself to missionary work. Claiming to belong to the whole world irrespective of her skin color, she traveled to India and began teaching in school. It was the large heart of Mother Teresa which allowed her to vividly express the empathetic nature of her savior, wherein every poor person she helped could be likened to touching the heart of Jesus. This faithful service saw the expansion of her Missionaries of Charity congregation across the globe. Today there continues to be volunteers - inspired by her example of the Lord's calling - in the Mission she founded working with orphans, lepers, and the dying. She proved to be a woman of undaunted passion and obedience to a higher nature striving against impossible odds. Exemplifying that positive change is an individual responsibility that will eventually benefit the immediate society and world at large. And thus was revealed a Saint...and a Mother to those most in need. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Evie Irwin.

    Kings of Ruin: Kingdoms of Sand, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 621min
    In an ancient world of sand and splendor, an empire awakens. Aelar, a mighty nation, spreads its tentacles. Its oared galleys storm the seas, and the waters run red with blood. Its legionaries swarm desert ruins, smiting barbarian hordes. Its crosses line the roadsides, displaying the dying flesh of heroes. The Aelarian Empire rises. The old world falls. The powerful Sela family has avoided the empire until now. The family has carved out an idyllic life between sea and desert, ruling a bustling port, a thriving city, and lush vineyards. Yet when an imperial fleet arrives in their harbor, everything the Sela family has built threatens to collapse. Sweeping from snowy forests to cruel deserts, from bazaars of wonder to fields of war, here is a tale of legionaries and lepers, priests and paupers, kings and crows. Here a girl travels across endless dunes, seeking magic; a cruel prince struggles to claim a bloodstained throne; and a young soldier fights to hold back an overwhelming host. As the empire spreads, the fate of the Sela family - and of all civilization - stands upon a knife's edge, for under the storm of war, even the greatest nations are but kingdoms of sand. ungekürzt.

    A Retreat with Mother Teresa, Hörbuch, Digital, 155min
    Mother Teresa (1910-1997) touched the hearts of men and women around the world with her charity, compassion, and faithfulness. Now, you can experience a one-of-a-kind retreat with Mother Teresa in this series. Presented by gifted professor, author, and contemplative retreat leader Fr. Donald Goergen, OP, these life-changing conferences are designed to capture your spiritual imagination and deepen your life with Christ. Born Agnes Gonxhe Bojaxhiu, Mother Teresa founded the Missionaries of Charity, which ministered to the poorest of the poor. In Calcutta, she carried out Christ's message of welcoming the least among us - orphans, refugees, lepers, the mentally ill, and many others. Acutely aware of the plight of the poor and the demands of the Gospel, Mother Teresa grounded in her commitment to Christ and devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Faith, however, did not always come easily to this saintly woman; like so many of us, she struggled with "dark nights of the soul" and spiritual dryness. She saw herself as a mystic of darkness, finding Christ in a cloud of unknowing. In A Retreat with Mother Teresa, you will explore Blessed Teresa's powerful impact on the world. You will also see how her spiritual struggles and ultimate triumph can inspire you today. Let Mother Teresa accompany you and offer wise guidance in your journey to eternal life. Language: English.

    Dark Serpent: Hugh Corbett 18 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 653min
    Sir Hugh Corbett returns in the 18th novel in master historian Paul Doherty's brilliant series. Summer, 1311, and Sir Hugh Corbett has taken up a life of danger again.... After his recent unveiling of a devious assassin, Sir Hugh Corbett has returned to service as the Keeper of the Secret Seal, begrudgingly admitting that his appetite for adventure has once again been whetted. Summoned to meet the King to be congratulated on their work together, Corbett and Ranulf learn of the death of Corbett's close friend, Ralph Grandison. Ralph, a leper, has been found dead in a rowing boat, a dagger thrust through his chest. But this murder is not the first of its kind. Other patients of the hospital in which Ralph was staying have been similarly slaughtered, and it seems as though the lepers, all former knights of the Royal household, are being targeted. The discovery that Ralph was killed by no ordinary weapon but a poison dagger that once belonged with the Crown Jewels before being famously stolen leads Corbett down a complex path where the risk of disease plays out against the backdrop of finding an assassin who will use any means necessary to kill. As Corbett puts himself in the path of extreme danger, will he survive to see another day? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Richard Burnip.
