Verily, Verily: The KJV - 400 Years of Influence and Beauty , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 315min
As historian Tony Lane once noted, without the King James Version of the Bible, it can be speculated that, there would be no Paradise Lost... no Pilgrim's Progress... no negro spirituals... no Gettysburg Address. And even though today there are more accurate and contemporary translations of the Bible, the KJV reigns supreme in the English-speaking world. It is printed and circulated more widely than any other version. The everlasting literary power of this phenomenal volume is unarguable. But how did this remarkable work originate? What were the historical circumstances driving its completion? What sorts of errors (many of them outright hysterical) crept into the translation? Why does it still outsell every other English translation? Verily, Verily offers an informative, inspirational, and light-hearted look into how the world's most popular Bible was created and why it is still important. Jon M. Sweeney reflects on the cultural importance, spiritual value, beautiful phrasings, and occasional humor of the King James Bible. And Sweeny shows why the KJV has been the most important entry into the Christian scriptures for the English-speaking world and offers a new understanding of why it is still worth reading. ungekürzt.

The Swarm , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 379min
Family attacked by bees - two killed Maryville, N.Y. Sept. 26 (AP) A family of five on an outing in an isolated spot by a stream were attacked by bees here. Mr. and Mrs. William Peterson died as the result of bee bites. Their three children were also attacked, one, Karen, age 12, severely. The local coroner, Dr. David P. Znac, speculated that both adults had allergies to bee bites, which can be fatal. About 30 deaths a year in the U.S. are attributed to bites from bees, wasps and hornets. What caused the bees to attack is not known. This was the beginning, barely noticed. Then the terror began to spread terror that was to erupt into a national panic as the strange, seemingly purposeful murderous attacks of a new and vicious species of bees began to mount. Against this background, a band of scientists draw upon their knowledge to fight an enemy they only partly comprehend in a desperate race against time. Built around one of man's most haunting fears that the forces of nature will overrun his defenses and exterminate the human race, The Swarm is a vividly imagined masterpiece of chilling adventure. ungekürzt.

Vision of Hell , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 160min
Visions of Hell is a must listen for all Christians and nonbelievers. Many of us have glowing expectations of going to heaven when we pass on. Is it true? Are we worthy of heaven? Each person must define their own relationship with God to determine what's to come at the end of this life. If you're not a believer in God, Visions of Hell is an eye opener of what is in store for you and why it's time to start thinking about the world that awaits. Writings in the Bible clearly define the relationship Jesus wants us to follow if we seek the pleasures of heaven. We have all speculated about the hereafter, whether we believe in heaven or hell. Hear the accounts of people who teetered between the life as we know and the process of hell. A few have ventured into the heavenly light of eternity and returned, but very few have glimpsed into the torrid pits of hell and returned to talk about it. Hear mystifying stories of people who have died and were brought back to life after visiting the house of the devil. Their vision of the devil's home will leave you speechless. ungekürzt.

The Usurpers: The SF Classic , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 296min
This is a 1950s pulp alien invasion shocker too intense for book publication! When The Usurpers first appeared in the magazine Imagination during the early 1950s, Nebula and Hugo Award winner Robert Silverberg wrote that Geoff St. Reynard's work is "off the beaten track". The concept of aliens masquerading in human form is not at all new, but this story is different and powerful and considered a minor sci-fi classic. Considered too strong by the book publishers of the era, The Usurpers has never been republished in the past decades since. Now, you can listen to this science fiction classic and judge for yourself. Here is a story that is bound to remind you of Night of the Living Dead and The Thing.Science fiction often speculated about whether aliens might walk the Earth masquerading as human beings. Jerry Wolfe discovered it was true. He had seen the aliens in their actual form. He must be high, you say. Don't laugh! Your best friend is one of them. Discover what happens when a handful of brave men and women decide to pit their puny forces against the might of Earth's secret masters and the governments they control! You will find romance, action, and daring speculation in this lost classic, in its first ever audiobook publication. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: David Bufton.

The Holy Bible - 2 Chronicles: King James Version, Hörbuch, Digital, 138min
While it is not known when or where exactly The Book of Chronicles was written, it is speculated that it was written around 537 BC.The second Book of Chronicles details the reign of King Solomon, who was the son of King David. He ruled over Jerusalem as a just and prosperous king. Solomon built the temple as instructed by his father. After a 40-year rule, King Solomon died and thus began the reign of his son, Rehoboam.During the rule of King Rehoboam, the key tribes of Jews in Jerusalem rebelled against him, resulting in the division of the kingdom, except the tribes of Judah and Benjamin. The book goes on to detail the capture of Jerusalem by the Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar II in 586 BC. He appointed Zedekiah as a ruler after idol worshipping became rampant there.Many years later when the Egyptian armies attacked Jerusalem, Zedekiah sided with them and rebelled against Nebuchadnezzar II against the counsel of Prophet Jeremiah. This is when Nebuchadnezzar II ordered the total destruction of Jerusalem, including the entire city and the temple.The people and their possessions were taken captive by Nebuchadnezzar II. In 539 BC, Babylon was captured by King Cyrus of Persia. Under his rule, the captive Jews were released and allowed to return to Jerusalem, where they rebuilt the temple that had earlier been destroyed.In other words, it is a story of hope. Where once the Jews had rebelled against King Solomon in Jerusalem, they adopted the Babylonian culture and thrived there peacefully. In return, they were allowed to return to Jerusalem.

There Is No F--king Secret: Letters from a Badass Bitch , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 377min
People ask Kelly Osbourne all the time: "What's your secret?" Kelly Osbourne may not always have been a typical role model, but no one can say that her perspective isn't hard won after spending three decades in the spotlight: from growing up completely exposed to the heavy metal scene - replete with crazy antics most listeners have only begun to hear about - to spending her teenage years as the wild middle child of an even wilder Ozzy Osbourne, to the family's popular stint on their wacky eponymous reality show. Since then Osbourne has forged her own path as a style icon and powerful woman in the media who isn't afraid to tell it like it is and be honest with her fans. But being the daughter of a music legend hasn't always been glamorous; growing up Osbourne is an experience that Kelly wouldn't trade, but there are battle scars, and she is finally now ready to embrace and reveal their origins. Told as a series of letters to various people and places in her life, There Is No F--king Secret gives listeners an intimate look at the stories and influences that have shaped Osbourne's highly speculated-about life, for better or for worse. The stories will make listeners' jaws drop, but ultimately they will come away empowered to forge their own paths to confidence, no matter how deranged and out of control they may be, and to learn the ultimate lesson: that there just is no f--king secret. ungekürzt.
