Disinformation: Former Spy Chief Reveals Secret Strategies for Undermining Freedom Attacking Religion and Promoting Terrorism , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 790min
The highest-ranking Soviet bloc intelligence official ever to defect to the West, Lt. Gen. Ion Mihai Pacepa is at it again. A quarter century ago, in his international bestseller Red Horizons, Pacepa exposed the massive crimes and corruption of his former boss, Romanian President Nicolae Ceausescu, giving the dictator a nervous breakdown and inspiring him to send assassination squads to the U.S. to find his former spy chief and kill him. They failed. On Christmas Day 1989, Ceausescu was executed by his own people at the end of a trial whose accusations came almost word-for-word out of Red Horizons. Today, still living undercover in the United States, the man credited by the CIA as the only person in the Western world who single-handedly demolished an entire enemy espionage service - the one he himself managed - takes aim at an even bigger target: the exotic, widely misunderstood but still astonishingly influential realm of the Russian-born "science" of disinformation. Indeed, within this audiobook, Pacepa, along with his co-author, historian and law professor Ronald Rychlak, expose some of the most consequential yet largely unknown disinformation campaigns of our lifetime. ungekürzt.

How Can I Know?: Answers to Life's 7 Most Important Questions , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 475min
It's okay to have questions. But you need answers you can trust. How can I know there is a God? How can I know the Bible is true? How can I know there is life after death? How can I know how to forgive someone who has hurt me? You’re not alone in wrestling with doubts and uncertainties: Every one of us - no matter our age - has questions about these real-life concerns. What’s more, many Christians can’t readily explain the reason for their hope, as 1 Peter 3:15 advises. In How Can I Know? Dr. Robert Jeffress tackles the seven most common and consequential of these questions and makes a compelling case for answers you can embrace with confidence. Combining the best research available with the most persuasive arguments, Jeffress offers you renewed hope, assurance of faith, and powerful tools for understanding - and explaining - life’s essential answers, all in a listener-friendly format. In an age of information overload, simplicity is essential. These steadfast yet simple truths will do more than answer your questions.

Anatomy of Evil: Barker & Llewelyn Series, Book 7 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 703min
Cyrus Barker is undoubtedly England's premiere private enquiry agent. With the help of his assistant, Thomas Llewelyn, he's developed an enviable reputation for discreetly solving some of the toughest, most consequential cases in recent history. But one evening in 1888, Robert Anderson, the head of Scotland Yard's Criminal Investigation Department (CID), appears at Barker's office with an offer. A series of murders in the Whitechapel area of London are turning the city upside down, with tremendous pressure being brought to bear on Scotland Yard and the government itself. Barker is to be named temporary envoy to the Royal Family with regard to the case while surreptitiously bringing his investigative skill to the case. With various elements of society, high and low, bringing their own agendas to increasingly shocking murders, Barker and Llewellyn must find and hunt down the century's most notorious killer. Though the Whitechapel Killer has managed to elude the finest minds of Scotland Yard - and beyond - he's never faced a mind as nimble and a man as skilled as Cyrus Barker. But even Barker's prodigious skills may not be enough to track down a killer in time. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Antony Ferguson.

Being a Proactive Grandfather: How to Make a Difference , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 209min
Statistics tell us that male Baby Boomers probably have another 20 to 30 good years ahead of us, and most have grandchildren. But how much time and mental energy will we expend on these living legacies? How much will we prioritize them, and how proactive and deliberate will we be as granddads? New York Times number-one best-selling author Richard Eyre encourages gradfathers to ask themselves a very important question: what kind of grandfather will you be? Will you be a disengaged grandfather, who downsizes to an adults-only condo in Sun City by a golf course and rarely sees his grandkids? Will you be a limited grandfather, a supportive grandfather, or best of all will you be a proactive grandfather? Only when we choose to be proactive does grandfathering become effective, consequential, and truly fun. At this level, you deliberately ponder the needs you can uniquely fulfill, and you set goals and plans to enhance your grandchildren's lives (in concert and in teamwork with the goals and stewardship of their parents). This approach will stretch and test you, but it will also reward you with levels of fulfillment, well-being, love, and peace otherwise unobtainable. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Becoming Belafonte: Black Artist, Public Radical , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 515min
A son of poor Jamaican immigrants who grew up in Depression-era Harlem, Harry Belafonte became the first Black performer to gain artistic control over the representation of African Americans in commercial television and film. Forging connections with an astonishing array of consequential players on the American scene in the decades following World War II - from Paul Robeson to Ed Sullivan, John Kennedy to Stokely Carmichael - Belafonte established his place in American culture as a hugely popular singer, matinee idol, internationalist, and champion of civil rights, Black pride, and Black power. In Becoming Belafonte, Judith E. Smith presents the first full-length interpretive study of this multitalented artist. She sets Belafonte's compelling story within a history of American race relations, Black theater and film history, McCarthy-era hysteria, and the challenges of introducing multifaceted Black culture in a moment of expanding media possibilities and constrained political expression. Smith traces Belafonte's roots in the radical politics of the 1940s, his careful negotiation of the complex challenges of the Cold War 1950s, and his full flowering as a civil rights advocate and internationally acclaimed performer in the 1960s. In Smith's account, Belafonte emerges as a relentless activist, a questing intellectual, and a tireless organizer. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Quintin W. Allen.

Countdown to Socialism , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 80min
The Democratic Party has changed beyond recognition. Once the party of anti-communism and tax-cutting under President Kennedy, it is now dominated by a surging socialist movement and led by a presidential candidate who vows to “transform” America.On a near-daily basis, the Democrats are issuing radical proposals to socialize medicine, industry, and higher education. So how can the Democrats win elections when their agenda is so far to the left of the American people?That’s easy - it’s because the means of public debate are being manipulated.In Countdown to Socialism, Congressman Devin Nunes exposes the nexus between the Democratic Party, the mainstream media, and the social media corporations. These three entities cooperate to blast out the Democrats’ message and downplay their extremism while suppressing and censoring conservative points of view.Tens of millions of Americans are only seeing one side of the debate. The information they get from newspapers and social media is not “news” - it’s contrived content designed to help one political party and punish its opponents.In the run-up to the most consequential election of our lifetime, rlisten to this book to learn how your information is being skewed and regulated to force America onto the path to socialism. ungekürzt.

Clearing the Air: Art of the Bowel Movement , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 143min
In Clearing the Air: Art of the Bowel Movement, physician T. Lee Baumann provides a detailed description of the anatomy, physiology, and proper care of one of the body's most valuable resources: the terminal bowel. Few people, including many physicians, understand the sequential, complex, and consequential nature of the underappreciated organs involved: the sigmoid colon, rectum, and anus. Despite the rectum's superior sagacity and judgment, the anal sphincter commands undue control over the final decision-making algorithm. As such, the overbearing anus may exercise its unrestrained power to the veritable detriment of its host. The unpleasant consequences of an anal-retentive sphincter include simple constipation (the majority of its victims), diverticular disease (50 percent of people over the age of 60), and even material obstruction in the more severe cases. All of these unpleasant effects are avoidable for the normal bowel. In Art of the Bowel Movement, Dr. Baumann offers simple medical recommendations and practices for preventing and avoiding the penalties of yielding to the impulsive and demanding anus. Knowledge of the physiology of our intestines, the use of supplemental dietary fiber, and respecting the vital supplications of the obeisant rectum will go far in addressing and ameliorating these bodily concerns. ungekürzt.

Ronald Reagan: Understanding Reagan’s Life, Accomplishments, and Legacy, Hörbuch, Digital, 285min
Follow the life and legacy of Ronald Reagan in this course by his acclaimed biographer Dr. Steven F. Hayward. Dr. Hayward is an accomplished scholar and conservative public intellectual who has taught and held fellowships at Georgetown University, UC Berkeley, and the American Enterprise.

The Great Stain , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1488min
Comprising personal accounts from an intensely consequential chapter in human history, the transatlantic slave trade, The Great Stain takes listeners from the depths of suffering to the heights of human dignity. There have been numerous books about the why, when, and where of slavery in America, but there is a dearth of material exposing what slavery was actually like. In The Great Stain, researcher Noel Rae frames firsthand accounts from former slaves, slave owners, and even African slavers. Rae exposes the commerce and culture of slavery, not only from an economic or moral standpoint but also through multitudinous perspectives within it: a young girl is beaten after being accused of stealing a piece of candy, a slave ship's surgeon recounts brutal treatment and squalid conditions, an Englishman visiting Haiti observes as violent uprisings break out. So many viewpoints ensure that no historical blind spot will leave the picture of an era incomplete. The Great Stain weaves a tapestry of good and evil, of greed and kindness, and of a civilization as it develops, evolves, and continues to move toward the future. More than that, the listener will encounter the complex economic underpinning of an entire society based on the exploitation of the cheapest labor. ungekürzt. Language: English.

A gripping narrative of one of the Civil War’s most consequential engagements.In the spring of 1864, the newly installed Union commander Ulysses S. Grant did something none of his predecessors had done before: He threw his army against the wily, audacious Robert E. Lee and his Army of Northern Virginia over and over again.At Spotsylvania Court House, the two armies shifted from stalemate in the Wilderness to slugfest in the mud.

Spotsylvania Court House represents a chess match of immeasurable stakes between two master opponents. This clash is detailed in A Season of Slaughter: The Battle of Spotsylvania Court House, May 8 - 21, 1864.A Season of Slaughter is part of the new Emerging Civil War Series offering compelling, easy-to-listen overviews of some of the Civil War’s most important stories.
