Mysterious Midwest: Illinois Ghost Stories , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 37min
Featured Stories "The Flying Flowers" "The Haunted Cornfield" "The Night Bells Haunting at Old Chicago" Book Preview The haunted antique store skepticism is common. Most people need to have personal experience to be truly convinced of paranormal activity. Jane was certainly no exception. As a child in the oldest neighborhood farmhouse, creaking floors and stairs were common. Doors sometimes closed on their own, and occasionally lights flickered. All these things were attributed to the older construction. Her childhood sweetheart would tell stories of ghostly experiences. Jane felt as though she couldn't fully believe without her own experience. Some tales seemed so incredibly unlikely that belief seemed impossible. Jane married her childhood sweetheart and began working in an antique store. The building was an ancient, extravagant mansion, with five large bedrooms and even a foyer and a parlor. The front door opened to a wide, beautiful staircase, and bells rang to signal customers entering and leaving. Upstairs was a hallway complete with a bannister that traced an arc across the length of the house and down the back stairway, ending in the kitchen. Download today! ungekürzt. Language: English.

The Discerning of Spirits , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 76min
From the author of Pigs in the Parlor... Jesus gave the commission to cast out demons to the entire Church in Mark 16:17. When God calls us into ministry, He equips us. The gifts of the Holy Spirit, as presented in 1 Corinthians 12, represent God's empowerment to believers to accomplish this task. We must rely on the Holy Spirit for the ministry of deliverance and nothing else, not our own understanding, or the voice of demons, but only the voice of the Holy Spirit to guide us in deliverance and spiritual warfare. Through the gift of the discernment of spirits, we can defeat the enemy in the very place of his counsel and strategy, because God can tell us what (and who) we are coming against. God is a jealous God. He does not permit us to go to any other source other than Himself for wisdom, knowledge, guidance, or power. Through the Holy Spirit we are able to know all that we need to know in order to defeat the devil and his evil spirits. Audio Time: 80 Minutes ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Frank Hammond.

Red Sauce (eBook, ePUB)
Tells the story of Italian food arriving in the United States and how your favorite red sauce recipes evolved into American staples. In Red Sauce, Ian MacAllen traces the evolution of traditional Italian-American cuisine, often referred to as "red sauce Italian," from its origins in Italy to its transformation in America into a new, distinct cuisine. It is a fascinating social and culinary history exploring the integration of red sauce food into mainstream America alongside the blending of Italian immigrant otherness into a national American identity. The story follows the small parlor restaurants immigrants launched from their homes to large, popular destinations, and eventually to commodified fast food and casual dining restaurants. Some dishes like fettuccine Alfredo and spaghetti alla Caruso owe their success to celebrities, and Italian-American cuisine generally has benefited from a rich history in popular culture. Drawing on inspiration from Southern Italian cuisine, early Italian immigrants to America developed new recipes and modified old ones. Ethnic Italians invented dishes like lobster fra Diavolo, spaghetti and meatballs, and veal parmigiana, and popularized foods like pizza and baked lasagna that had once been seen as overly foreign. Eventually, the classic red-checkered-table-cloth Italian restaurant would be replaced by a new idea of what it means for food to be Italian, even as 'red sauce' became entrenched in American culture. This book looks at how and why these foods became part of the national American diet, and focuses on the stories, myths, and facts behind classic (and some not so classic) dishes within Italian-American cuisine.- Shop: buecher

Crown Jewels , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 543min
From USA Today best seller Ella James After that close-up of his package on the sailboat in Morocco, TMZ started calling him Crown Jewels. Not that I keep track of Prince Liam. Definitely don’t stalk him online like my friends do. I’m out of that scene now. My family’s reality show might still be running, but I’ve been off-screen for a while. When people pass me on the sidewalk, they might squint, but most of them don’t scream “Lucy Rhodes” and ask about my love of Lucky Charms or how my broken toe healed. Prince Liam - my stalking his Instagram - that’s just for fun. It’s my dirty little secret. Trust me, I’m the only woman in the world who doesn’t actually want him. Except I’m back in the Hamptons for the first time in two years. I’m at a party, and Prince Manwhore is here as well. I tell myself that smile has no effect on me. That his ridiculous charisma is a parlor trick I see right through. After our one night together, no one knows that I succumbed. It doesn’t matter. It meant nothing. Not until I see those two pink lines. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: J.F. Harding, Aubrey Vincent. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/adbl/051381/bk_adbl_051381_sample.mp3.

The Guitar in America: Victorian Era to Jazz Age , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 531min
The Guitar in America offers a history of the instrument from America's late Victorian period to the Jazz Age. The narrative traces America's BMG (banjo, mandolin, and guitar) community, a late 19th-century musical and commercial movement dedicated to introducing these instruments into America's elite musical establishments. Using surviving BMG magazines, the author details an almost unknown history of the guitar during the movement's heyday, tracing the guitar's transformation from a refined parlor instrument to a mainstay in jazz and popular music. In the process, he not only introduces musicians (including numerous women guitarists) who led the movement, but also examines new techniques and instruments. Chapters consider the BMG movement's impact on jazz and popular music, the use of the guitar to promote attitudes toward women and minorities, and the challenges foreign guitarists such as Miguel Llobet and Andres Segovia presented to America's musicians. This volume opens a new chapter on the guitar in America, considering its cultivated past and documenting how banjoists and mandolinists aligned their instruments to it in an effort to raise social and cultural standing. At the same time, the audiobook considers the BMG community within America's larger musical scene, examining its efforts as manifestations of this country's uneasy coupling of musical art and commerce. ungekürzt.

Proving Paul's Promise: The Reed Brothers, Book 5 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 426min
He has watched her from afar.... Paul Reed has been raising children since he was a child himself, but he wouldn't change his life, even if given an opportunity. That is, until one of his brothers says four little words that shake the foundation of his world. "She's not a lesbian," shouldn't be quite so earth shattering, but suddenly the woman he loves is available, and he'll do whatever it takes to win her over. They call her Friday, and she's hiding more than just her name - Friday has worked in the Reeds' tattoo parlor for four years. She's become more than just an employee, and she loves being in the middle of something so wonderful. She treasures the way the Reeds live for one another, and she adores the way they take care of their family. She would do just about anything to be part of it, if not for the fact that she doesn't deserve a family of her own. Or does she? Friday is punishing herself for her past, and by doing so, she pushes away the one man who could truly love her. Separately, they're strong. Together, they're vulnerable. As a team, they rock. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Christy Wurzbach. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/023146/bk_acx0_023146_sample.mp3.

Undertaker's Moon , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 919min
A graveyard feast beneath the summer moon.... The rural town of Old Hickory. Tennessee was a quiet, picturesque community...until the O'Sheas came to town. Becoming the new proprietors of the town's only funeral parlor, with the help of their charming patriarch, Square McManus, the Irish family was wholeheartedly accepted by the local town folk. The thing began to happen. Strange things...horrible, unspeakable things...in the dead of night. The sighting of wolfish beasts congregating around an open grave in the town cemetery. Frightening changes in several of Old Hickory's less desirable residents. And the brutal murder and devourment of a varsity football player in the wooded wilderness outside of town. Soon, what was once concealed in shadow and secrecy was now starkly revealed, in all its ravenous fury, by the silvery light of the full moon. As the residents of Old Hickory, as well as the local police, begin to fall victim to an unknown evil, four individuals - the town nerd, a high school jock, a widowed gunsith, and a mysterious transient from a distant shore - find themselves facing what could possibly be a hellish lycanthrope from ancient Ireland...the legendary Arget Bethir...the Silver Beast. ungekürzt.
