Universe Next Door (Unabridged)
When The Universe Next Door was first introduced nearly 30 years ago, it set the standard for a clear, readable introduction to worldviews.
In concise, easily understood prose, James W. Sire explained the basics of theism, deism, naturalism, nihilism, existentialism, Eastern monism, and the new consciousness.

One of the foremost financial writers of his generation, Peter Bernstein has the unique ability to synthesize intellectual history and economics with the theory and practice of investment management. Now, with classic titles such as Economist on Wall Street, A Primer on Money, Banking, and Gold, and The Price of Prosperity, which have forewords by financial luminaries and new introductions by the author, you can enjoy some of the best of Bernstein in his earlier Wall Street days.
Peter Bernstein's Economist on Wall Street is a collection of work from 1955 to 1970. The audio is especially interesting because so many of Bernstein's observations reflect the most important issues of the present - the outlook for inflation and its control, the intricacies of monetary policy, the future of the dollar, and the dilemmas of household finances. Bernstein was also concerned with developments in portfolio management, including the new influence of institutional investors and rules for optimal asset mixes. He provides light touches, too, as he indulges in fantasies and philosophical musings over a wide variety of topics.
With so many years of hindsight, we should not be surprised to find some of Bernstein's predictions running awry. But why? In each instance, these forecasts were biased by memories of the past. There is a big lesson to be learned there.
Economist on Wall Street is a remarkable audio work, with lasting relevance and keen insights into the art of investment management, the capital markets, gold and the dollar, and the fun of being alive.
In 1965, the dogged Lieutenant Carmine Delmonico is assigned to solve what appears to be a single murder.

As the murders mount, Delmonico joins with the center's tough female business manager to dig up the dirt on everyone.

Completely Irresistible (Unabridged)
Just as a woman in love delights in telling others about her beloved, a woman in love with Jesus finds indescribable joy in introducing others to Him. Yet the very idea of evangelism leaves many feeling inadequate or fearful.
In this encouraging devotional, best-selling author Shannon Ethridge points to examples of New Testament believers to show how any woman can confidently share her faith. Through the stories of these early saints, you'll learn that drawing others to Christ doesn't have to involve specific steps or persuasive words. In fact, when God's love fills your heart, it overflows naturally into the lives of those around you and creates in them an irresistible yearning to experience it for themselves.
This companion devotional to Completely His directs your gaze into the heart of God through the truths revealed in His love letter, the Bible. Each reading includes introspective questions to help you apply those truths in a personal way, propelling you into a more fulfilling life of passion, purpose, and genuine intimacy with Jesus.

How Did I Get So Busy? (Unabridged)

With the conveniences of technology, we're compelled to get more done in less time and end up constantly striving for the next thing - rarely stopping to consider if it's something we even want.

Bachelor's Puzzle (Unabridged)
The ladies of the Maintown, Oregon church are all abuzz when they learn of the new and single circuit-riding preacher that will be coming through town. They all decide to inspire their daughters to make a quilt to welcome him, which soon results in a competition between the girls as each tries to out-sew the other.
But Zach Hartley is unlike any preacher they've ever seen - he's clumsy in the pulpit and does women's work rather than praying over the sick. While this only serves to endear him to most women, Ellie sees something suspicious in his character. Maybe it's his connections to the Portland crime ring and other dangerous thugs?
Slightly Bad Girls of the Bible (Unabridged)
Higgs revisits the well of biblical women for this continuation of her hugely successful Bad Girls of the Bible series. Whereas Bad Girls of the Bible and Really Bad Girls of the Bible tackled the Jezebels and Salomes, often demonstrating that these women were not as nefarious as later traditions would suggest, this one takes a different tack, looking at five good girls of the Bible and finding them seriously flawed.
Focusing on Genesis, Higgs looks at Sarah (a control freak), Hagar (who was filled with bitterness), Rebekah (a conniving schemer who played favorites with her sons), Leah (another schemer) and Rachel (who was consumed by jealousy). One theme that emerges clearly is how fertility, or the lack of it, dominated these women's lives in a patriarchal culture.
As always, Higgs's tone is chatty and girlfriendish, addressing the listener in the second person as she emphasizes the lesson-and the humor-in each woman's tale. And as always, this one capably blends fictional vignettes of contemporary bad girls with in-depth exegesis of their biblical counterparts' stories. Higgs also reveals her own foibles as she weaves personal anecdotes into each chapter, underscoring the book's overall theme: even faithful women can sometimes be hurtful and selfish.
A menudo mostramos la tendencia de cerrarnos a quienes nos han herido; al hacerlo,tambien nos cerramos a nosotros mismos y a nuestra conexion con el Universo. Aunque no seamos conscientes de sentir el dolor,esta forma de cerrarse es muy dolorosa y es causa de muchas enfermedades fisicas o psicologicas. Cuando no cerramos,nos retiramos a un lugar de profunda desconfianza y observamos a la vida y a las personas llenos de negatividad y desde una gran distancia.
Sin embargo,la autentica confianza no depende,como podriamos pensar,de otras personas ni de algo externo. Mas bien se trata de una profunda experiencia interior de sentirnos conectados con nuestro ser y con la existencia. Nuestro nivel de au tentica confianza, esa que no depende de acontecimientos externos, es un espejo directo de nuestra conciencia. La autentica confianza es una cualidad que podemos desarollar, y el trabajo de Krishnananda y Amana brinda para ello una ayuda excepcional.

Saint Augustine's contributions to Christian theology are second to no other post-apostolic author in the whole sweep of church history. Yet along side his doctrinal treatises, Augustine tells a story of his life devoted to Christ as his only satisfaction.

Christian Mission in the Modern World (Unabridged)

He begins with careful definitions of five key terms-mission, evangelism, dialogue, salvation and conversion. Then, through a thorough biblical exploration of these concepts, Stott provides a model for ministry to people's spiritual and physical needs alike.
Dark Night of the Soul (Unabridged)
Part poetic masterpiece, part mystic treatise, The Dark Night of the Soul, by 16th century Carmelite monk St. John of the Cross, addresses the feeling of being forgotten by the Presence of the Almighty that every Christian desirous of walking more closely with God must pass through in order to learn to walk by faith and not by sight.
Spiritual persons suffer great trials - by reason - of the fear which they have of being lost on the road, thinking that all spiritual blessing is over for them and that God has abandoned them since they find no help or pleasure in good things. Then they grow weary, and endeavor to concentrate their faculties with some degree of pleasure upon some object of meditation, thinking that, when they are not doing this and yet are conscious of making an effort, they are doing nothing.
Perhaps one of the most widely recognized of the mystical writings, St. John's classic Dark Night of the Soul is not only practical theology but a beautiful balm of healing to anyone whose heart has ever echoed the words of Christ, "My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken me?"

The Cloud of Unknowing (Unabridged)

In less than five years, Joel Osteen has emerged as America's best-selling inspirational audio author, thanks to the industry-leading sales of his audiobooks. But the hundreds of thousands of listeners he has reached with his audiobooks - and even the millions of readers who have bought his books - represent just a fraction of the tens of millions of viewers and listeners who know him only as the dynamic, uplifting preacher who speaks so memorably from the pulpit every Sunday at widely-televised services at his Lakewood Church in Houston.
Now, for the first time ever, the retail market gets its first taste of Joel's incomparable live persona with Good, Better, Blessed. This collection of 10 complete sermons (or 'messages,' as they're known to Lakewood members and viewers) from Joel's broadcasts offers traditional audio and book customers their first chance to experience Joel in his original element, as he moves and inspires the huge crowds who come or tune in to hear him preach each Sunday.
Demonstrating once more why he has transcended the traditional Christian market with his approach to timeless self-help topics, he addresses such perennial and popular issues as:
Destined to appeal both to readers who have already read his books but are eager for new material and insights, and members of his tv and radio audiences who know him only for his broadcasts and have never read or heard his books, as well as the general self-help listener who appreciates a dynamic speaker offering useful advice, Good, Better, Blessed has the potential to be Joel Osteen's biggest audio release to date.

The Guns of August (Unabridged)
In this Pulitzer Prize-winning classic, historian Barbara Tuchman brings to life the people and events that led up to World War I. This was the last gasp of the Gilded Age, of Kings and Kaisers and Czars, of pointed or plumed hats, colored uniforms, and all the pomp and romance that went along with war. How quickly it all changed...and how horrible it became.
Tuchman masterfully portrays this transition from 19th to 20th century, focusing on the turning point in the year 1914: the month leading up to the war and the first month of the war. With fine attention to detail, she reveals how and why the war started, and why it could have been stopped but wasn't, managing to make the story utterly suspenseful even when we already know the outcome.
