    The Time Machine , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 180min
    What does the future hold? The question is completely subjective to imagination, because no human will ever see what the future holds beyond their lifetime...or will they? The story begins with an inventor speaking to a group of men about the unbelievable time machine that he has built. The men scoff at this idea and do not believe his incredible tale. The inventor, wanting to prove his theory, produces a miniature time machine that disappears into thin air, to the amazement of all. The men, still skeptical, come back the following week to find the man in disarray as he tells them of a great time-travelling adventure. This time the inventor has seen and been to the future, he explains to the men, so far into the future - 800,000 years, approximately - that nothing is recognizable. Peaceful creatures roam this world, but down below the earth dangerous beings reside that will stop at nothing to destroy him. The time machine takes the inventor on several other adventures throughout the book, traveling through many other worlds, but without proof who will believe him? ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Gift: The Prairie State Friends, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 656min
    Not everyone thinks Leah has a gift.... Leah Mast and her family have always considered her to have a healing touch and a special gift for reflexology - treating people's ailments by massaging certain places on their feet. But others scoff at the notion, saying the very idea of curing people through their feet is absurd. Adam Beachy is one of those scoffers, even though his own mother used to practice reflexology. And then she left the Amish faith and walked out on her family, leaving Adam's father to raise Adam and his sister alone. Now Adam mocks reflexology and balks at the idea of ever marrying and starting a family of his own. When tragedy strikes, Adam is suddenly a father figure to his nieces. Adam finds himself needing a wife - immediately. Despite their differences, Leah seems the best option to fill that role. Can they hope to find peace and love in a modern-day marriage of convenience?

    Angels of Rainbow Bridge: Life After Transition , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 113min
    This audiobook was written to help ease a bit of your broken heart after experiencing the loss of your beloved fur baby. And it is broken in half. I get that. I used to scoff at people who would tell me, "Time heals all wounds." Yes, time kind of does, but not really. There are moments of sadness, then there are moments of joy or laughter when happy memories surface. In my grief, I got spurts of strength to carry on doing what I'm supposed to do while I am still here on this planet - this audiobook is one of them.I'll be honest, there are times I find myself wishing I was with my fur babies on the other side. Not because I am too sad to carry on, but because of what I discovered they were doing in the afterlife, which I share here with you. I take comfort in knowing that one day I will be with them again. But for now, it's comforting and healing just knowing that the soul connection between us and our fur babies never ends and that there are still many lessons to learn, even when they are on the other side of Rainbow Bridge. ungekürzt.

    A Wizard's Sacrifice: A Dark Science Fantasy: The Woern Saga, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1068min
    Conquering fate takes sacrifice. Victoria of Ourtown believes two things: that the bright, wandering star in the heavens is an abandoned spacecraft which brought her ancestors to this world and that destiny and the will of gods are nonsense. Vic used to scoff at stories of wizards too, until she acquired their powers. Once a warrior, now a secret wizard, she just wants to live an ordinary life and find a way to atone for the mistakes she’s made. Ashel of Narath knows that the wandering star is the god who created humanity, but this difference of opinion doesn’t stop him from loving Vic. All that keeps them apart is a thousand miles and a tragic loss. Lornk Korng needs Vic and Ashel to execute his plans for conquest. The fact both want him dead is but a trifling snag in his schemes. A bigger problem are the world’s indigenous aliens and an ancient enemy whose victory could wipe out humankind. As plots and counterplots clash across time, Vic and Ashel must choose their allies carefully, or risk losing not only each other but everything they know. A gripping tale of wizardry, warfare, and moral dilemmas unspools in a breathtaking blend of fantasy and science fiction. ungekürzt.

    The Transmigrant , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 686min
    What if Jesus was just an ordinary boy seeking enlightenment? Listen to the award-winning novel about Jesus’s travels in India and Nepal, based on ancient scrolls discovered in a Tibetan Monastery. AD 8, at the Temple of Jerusalem, charismatic young Yeshua thrills his audience when God seems to communicate through him. While his listeners gush, not everyone is impressed. The priests scoff and say that no carpenter, however wise, can enter their holy ranks. Humiliated and robbed of his only dream, Yeshua resigns to a drab life as a laborer and even agrees to marry the wealthy maiden his father has chosen for him. One day, Yeshua meets a Buddhist pilgrim who invites Yeshua along to the magical country Sindh, where anyone can become a monk. An irresistible portal of hope opens. He joins a camel caravan and sets off on a thousand-mile journey across the Silk Road into the unknown. Along the way, he studies the teachings of the Buddha and Krishna, loses his virginity to a beautiful young widow in a secluded convent, and falls in love with a cave-dweller high up in the Himalayas. Riveting, enlightening, and deeply moving, The Transmigrant is a brilliant story about Jesus's lost years that will fascinate you and stay with you forever. If you enjoy spiritual, thought-provoking fiction like The Celestine Prophecy or The Alchemist, you will relish this intriguing pause-resister. ungekürzt.

    Diagnosis... Sex Addiction: Dangerous Symptoms & Side Effects of Sex Addiction in Adults and Young Adults , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 34min
    Diagnosis... sex addiction Sex addiction is a real disease. It is as real and harmful as an alcohol addiction, a gambling problem, or cocaine dependency. It wreaks havoc on those afflicted with it, extending to family and friends of the addict as well. In our society, we find it difficult to talk about sex facts, and even more crushing for anyone to admit they might have a sex addiction. Oftentimes, others scoff at the notion that they have a real "addiction" and label those with this disorder as "sluts" or "immoral". However, nothing could be further from the truth. Diagnosis... Sex Addiction is a frank and raw look at this sexual disorder that often has devastating consequences when left untreated. The signs of symptoms of sex addiction can often be dismissed or overlooked. Those who cannot stop looking for the "high" that comes from sexual activities are usually ashamed by their sexual compulsions and addictive urges and become very clever at hiding them. Sexual addiction definition: Sexual addiction is defined as a progressive intimacy disorder, categorized by sexual thoughts and actions that over time become increasingly compulsive and overwhelming. Like all addictions, its negative impact on the addict and on family members' increases as the disorder progresses. Left untreated, the addict usually has to intensify the addictive behavior to achieve the same results. If you recognize these warning signs in a loved one who you think may have a sexual addiction, then you can potentially intervene while sexual addiction treatment can be most effective. ungekürzt.

    Still Broke, Hörbuch, Digital, 51min, (USK 18)
    Not for the faint of heart is an understatement. Still Broke, the latest album from comedian Adam Hunter, doesn’t ask for permission nor does it beg for forgiveness. Adam isn’t afraid to voice brutally honest resentment towards his newfound marriage, roast his audiences’ appearance, or embrace taboos. He is a talented performer and writer, an absurd, ballsy, one-of-a-kind smart aleck. Most importantly, the artist and album walks a fine line between provoking outrage and being off-putting. Still Broke is knowingly glib. Adam uses stereotypes and sensitive topics as a launchpad for brash imagination, not for rancor or malice. He invites the audience to respond to his problematic playfulness; there’s refuge in that cathartic recklessness. If you’re not offended by Adam’s brand of roguish whimsy, congratulations, you’re probably not offended by much. If you are offended...give it a second. Still Broke has every kind of joke, from cheeky wordplay to raunchy overshares, referencing anything from Bill Cosby to enhancement pills. There are no sacred cows, no ceremony to stand on, no time to explain the humor and no effort to assess the damage. Adam employs the law of averages, or more aptly, the LOL of averages. His satirical chutzpah is framed by endurance. Adam Hunter is focused. After a joke, he’s on to the next one (and the next one). There’s pace and perseverance as Adam Hunter goes against the grain. Cringe, groan, or scoff as you may, the funny keeps coming, towards you, for you. Still Broke provides waves and waves of deviant debauchery. Eventually it’ll get you, by shock or by wit or by unflinching realness. It’s only a matter of time. Language: English. Narrator: Adam Hunter.
