The Search for Divine Justice , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 427min
Why do small infants die? Why do young children succumb to disease? Why do some adults die slow, painful deaths from cancer? In The Search for Divine Justice, Dr. Lee Baumann investigates the death of innocents to answer the age-old question of whether "divine justice" is merely a spiritual oxymoron. Consistent with his past research, Baumann utilizes current evidence to come up with his surprising conclusions. In this investigation of why we live and die in the diverse manners we do, Baumann uncovers his data through the analysis of the world's recent advances in science, medicine, philosophy, and religion. Join Dr. Baumann in his spiritual journey of discovery into why life's apparent injustices are really acts of a loving God. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: T. Lee Baumann.

Eavesdropping on God: One Man's Conversations with the Lord, Book 5: Visions of Faith , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 177min
Dave Jeffers is a Sunday School Teacher, Bible student, and lay preacher. Dave graduated magna cum laude from Liberty University with a bachelors degree in religion. Dave received cum laude honors at Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary with a M.A. in Theological Studies. In Eavesdropping on God, the listener has the privilege of "listening" in on the conversations, the questions, and the struggles that one man faces that are not unfamiliar to many Christians. Book Five, Visions of Faith, is somewhat of a biblical oxymoron because if seeing is believing, then our faith is based on our senses and not our belief in Jesus Christ. The writer of Hebrews tells us: "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." (Hebrews 12:1) ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tim Côté.

Your Government Failed You: Breaking the Cycle of National Security Disasters, Hörbuch, Digital, 625min
Richard Clarke's statement to the 9-11 families that "Your government failed you - and I failed you" was the most dramatic moment in the 9-11 Commission hearings. His number-one best seller, Against All Enemies: Inside America's War on Terror, explained how the U.S. had stumbled into a struggle with violent Islamist extremists. Now, in Your Government Failed You, Clarke looks at why failures have continued and how America and the world can succeed against the terrorists. But Clarke goes beyond terrorism to examine the recurring U.S. government disasters. Despite the lessons of Vietnam, we've gotten involved in Iraq. A trail of intelligence failures litter the Washington landscape. From Katrina to color codes and duct tape, homeland security has been an oxymoron. Why does the Superpower continue to hobble national security? Drawing on his 30 years in the White House, Pentagon, State Department, and Intelligence Community, Clarke discovers patterns in the failure and suggests ways to stop the cycle. Language: English.

Of a Small and Modest Malignancy, Wicked and Bristling with Dots , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 191min
A small treasure of a book...It deserves a wide audience of Mailer and Vidal fans - Dick Cavett. He prepared therefore for the meditative journey that proves most excruciating in Limbo, a rounding through the past, a trip back! It is a venture full of perils. To meditate on TV might prove equal to writing a recollection of an enemy one has never met and cannot quite believe in. Indeed, how to conceive of an enemy who is without personal animosity? It was like writing a memoir of an oxymoron. Limbo set its tasks. More a short book than an essay, Of a Small and Modest Malignancy, Wicked and Bristling with Dots is Norman Mailer's scathing and often brilliant take-down of television culture, penned for Esquire in the wake of Mailer's infamous altercation with Gore Vidal on The Dick Cavett Show. Of a Small and Modest Malignancy, Wicked and Bristling with Dots was originally published in Esquire, November 1977. Cover design by Adil Dara. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Is Emotional Intelligence Dead?: Learn How to Build Emotional Intelligence , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 57min
Using emotional intelligence in business and even personal situations may seem somewhat like an oxymoron, since business traditionally carries a reputation of being ultra-competitive, extremely fast paced, and notoriously impersonal. Employing a sense of emotional intelligence in business situations, however, can effectively dispel such traditional notions and function to improve communication, productivity, as well as instill a sense of community spirit, thus improving overall business relationships. Is Emotional Intelligence Dead? By Terence A. Williams is a great audiobook that teaches topics such as empathy. Being empathetic in a business environment, means that you have the ability to understand a perspective. Having a sense of empathy not only permits a clearer overall sense of a situation, it also provides opportunities for both collaborative and creative thinking in order to produce successful results. This also involves great attention to details. Actively empathizing leads to a more focused attention to the details of any particular business situation. This increased attention also promotes the opportunity for not only meaningful discussions, but also moments of true insight and clarity. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Stephanie King.

Pablo Gargallo: Studies in World Art, Book 129 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 19min
Pablo Gargallo is often described as "Cubist" sculptor, partly thanks to his signature technique of hollowing out or reversing volumes, and partly due to his links with Picasso, one of the two undoubted inventors of cubism. In the strict sense, the idea of cubist sculpture is an oxymoron. Despite its undoubted early links to the African tribal sculptures that partly inspired Picasso’s transition to a new and radical style, cubism was essentially an attempt to find a better and more complete way of representing forms on a flat surface, springing off as much from experiments already made by Cézanne than it did from anything African.If one looks carefully at Gargallo’s development, what one sees, I think, is a very different story, with complex links to developments in early 20th-century culture that have little to do with orthodox cubism or indeed with Africa, though certainly something to do with Picasso, whose work and career had an inescapable an inescapable allure for every artist who ventured within his personal orbit. ungekürzt.

Constructive Wallowing: How to Beat Bad Feelings by Letting Yourself Have Them , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 351min
Constructive wallowing seems like an oxymoron. Constructive is a good thing, but wallowing is bad. Right? But wait a minute; is it really so terrible to give ourselves a time-out to feel our feelings? Or is it possible that wallowing is an act of loving kindness, right when we need it most? Almost everyone loves the idea of self-compassion. The notion that maybe in spite of our messy emotions and questionable behavior, we really aren’t all that bad. In recent years there’s been an explosion of books that encourage readers to stop beating themselves up for being human, which is terrific. Unfortunately, readers who aren’t interested in Buddhism or meditation have been left out in the cold. Constructive Wallowing is the first book to cut right to the chase, bypassing descriptions of Eastern philosophy and meditation techniques to teach listeners how to accept and feel their feelings with self-compassion for greater emotional health. It’s tempting to turn away from menacing, uncomfortable feelings like anger, grief, or regret; however, ignoring them just seems to make them stick around. By learning to accept and embrace, difficult feelings, listeners keep their sense of personal power and gain greater understanding and ultimately esteem for themselves. ungekürzt. Language: English.

In Bed with Susie Bright 615: Have You Been Silenced About Anal?, Hörbuch, Digital, 28min, (USK 18)
There's a Republican state legislator from South Dakota who wants to warn everyone about the dangers of anal sex. "Gay sex is not good for the mind or the body," he says. And he's looking for doctors to back him up. Ha! says Susie. Our lawmaker goes on to say that doctors are discouraged and intimated when it comes to telling the truth about anal sex. This makes Susie wonder if everyone has been intimated into silence when it comes to this issue. Oh, and by the way: this guy is also a pastor and believes that homosexuality has played a role in the downfall of past civilizations. Next, Susie has found a great Jezebel.com article about giving a "sophisticated hand job". What? you say. Isn't that an oxymoron? If you're like one of the many polled in this article who think that the old hand job is just a bottom-of-the-barrel sex alternative, well think again. There's a lady in Toronto who offers workshops for women on how to give a finer hand job than any man could give himself. Susie will tell you all the delicious details.
