A high-end stolen car is discovered in Vermont. A car filled with stolen items from a far-flung two stage burglary spree. But it’s what is in the trunk that brings Joe Gunther and his team from the Vermont Bureau of Investigation. In the trunk is the body of burglar in question—one Don Kalfus. Complicating matters, while the body was found in Vermont, it appears he was probably killed in the next state over, New Hampshire. The task force charged with finding out why Kalfus is murdered soon faces another problem. Within the pile of stolen cell phones found in the car is evidence of a notorious unsolved child abduction case from years earlier. Now the seemingly simple case has become more complicated and deadly, leading Gunther’s team to be pulled from the New Hampshire coast to near the Canadian border as they attempt to find and capture the psychopath responsible for a tangled, historical web of misery, betrayal, and loss. | |||
| Black Garden: Armenia and Azerbaijan through Peace and War - Thomas De Waal | 15 Jun 2021 | 13:16:18 | |
Listen to this audiobook in full for free on https://hotaudiobook.com/free Title: Black Garden: Armenia and Azerbaijan through Peace and War Author: Thomas De Waal Narrator: Julian Elfer Format: Unabridged Length: 13:16:18 Language: English Release date: 06-15-2021 Publisher: Tantor Media Genres: History, Russia Summary: Since its publication in 2003, the first edition of Black Garden has become the definitive study of how Armenia and Azerbaijan, two southern Soviet republics, were pulled into a conflict that helped bring them to independence, spell the end the Soviet Union, and plunge a region of great strategic importance into a decade of turmoil. This important volume is both a careful reconstruction of the history of the Nagorny Karabakh conflict since 1988 and on-the-spot reporting of the convoluted aftermath. Part contemporary history, part travel book, part political analysis, the book is based on six months traveling through the south Caucasus, more than 120 original interviews in the region, Moscow, and Washington, and unique historical primary sources, such as Politburo archives. The historical chapters trace how the conflict lay unresolved in the Soviet era; how Armenian and Azerbaijani societies unfroze it; how the Politiburo failed to cope with the crisis; how the war was fought and ended; how the international community failed to sort out the conflict. What emerges is a complex and subtle portrait of a beautiful and fascinating region, blighted by historical prejudice and conflict. | |||

| Ungrading: Why Rating Students Undermines Learning (and What to Do Instead) - Susan D. Blum | 15 Jun 2021 | 07:36:38 | |
Listen to this audiobook in full for free on https://hotaudiobook.com/free Title: Ungrading: Why Rating Students Undermines Learning (and What to Do Instead) Author: Susan D. Blum Narrator: Alfie Kohn, Emily Durante, Matthew Josdal Format: Unabridged Length: 7:36:38 Language: English Release date: 06-15-2021 Publisher: Tantor Media Genres: Non-Fiction, Education Summary: The moment is right for critical reflection on what has been assumed to be a core part of schooling. In Ungrading, fifteen educators write about their diverse experiences going gradeless. Some contributors are new to the practice and some have been engaging in it for decades. Some are in humanities and social sciences, some in STEM fields. Some are in higher education, but some are the K-12 pioneers who led the way. Based on rigorous and replicated research, this is the first book to show why and how faculty who wish to focus on learning, rather than sorting or judging, might proceed. It includes honest reflection on what makes ungrading challenging, and testimonials about what makes it transformative. | |||
| Evil Roman Emperors: The Shocking History of Ancient Rome's Most Wicked Rulers from Caligula to Nero and More - Phillip Barlag | 15 Jun 2021 | 07:59:24 | |
Listen to this audiobook in full for free on https://hotaudiobook.com/free Title: Evil Roman Emperors: The Shocking History of Ancient Rome's Most Wicked Rulers from Caligula to Nero and More Author: Phillip Barlag Narrator: David De Vries Format: Unabridged Length: 7:59:24 Language: English Release date: 06-15-2021 Publisher: Tantor Media Genres: Biography & Memoir, Politics, Ancient Civilizations, History & Culture Summary: Nero fiddled while Rome burned. As catchy as that aphorism is, it's sadly untrue, even if it has a nice ring to it. The one thing Nero is well-known for is the one thing he actually didn't do. But fear not, the truth of his life, his rule and what he did with unrestrained power, is plenty weird, salacious and horrifying. And he is not alone. Roman history, from the very foundation of the city, is replete with people and stories that shock our modern sensibilities. Evil Roman Emperors puts the worst of Rome's rulers in one place and offers a review of their lives and a historical context for what made them into what they became. Lucius Tarquinius Suburbus called peace conferences with warring states, only to slaughter foreign leaders; Commodus sold offices of the empire to the highest bidder; Caligula demanded to be worshipped as a god; even the Roman Senate itself was made up of oppressors, exploiters, and murderers of all stripes. Roman history, deviant or otherwise, is a subject of endless fascination. What's never been done before is to look at the worst of the worst at the same time, comparing them side by side, and ranking them against one another. Until now. | |||
| Power of Patience: How This Old-Fashioned Virtue Can Improve Your Life - Mary Jane Ryan | 15 Jun 2021 | 04:11:24 | |
Listen to this audiobook in full for free on https://hotaudiobook.com/free Title: Power of Patience: How This Old-Fashioned Virtue Can Improve Your Life Author: Mary Jane Ryan Narrator: Randye Kaye Format: Unabridged Length: 4:11:24 Language: English Release date: 06-15-2021 Publisher: Tantor Media Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Self Development, Health & Wellness, Counseling & Inspirational Summary: A deeper look at an old-fashioned quality. We've all heard the phrase, 'Patience is a virtue,' and doubtless responded with a sigh, as usually it's spoken with a tone of reproach. But this virtue carries with it a wealth of wisdom that can actually help us find happiness in our day-to-day. Author Mary Jane Ryan details just what living with patience can bring to our lives and how it can change us for the better. Slow the rush. Things move at a quick pace in our society, in both our work lives and social lives. Not only are we forced to keep up, but we have been conditioned to expect instant gratification. Because of this, we find ourselves getting flustered by the smallest setbacks or hold ups-whether it's a slow server at a restaurant or rush-hour traffic. Ryan shares how patience is the very antidote to the stress that our fast-paced lifestyle results in. Reclaim our priorities. By reining in our aggravation when things don't happen instantaneously, we give ourselves time to breathe and think more clearly. We make better use of our days and allow ourselves to make decisions based on how they align with our priorities, instead of focusing on how fast we can get tasks done. With Ryan's help, we can learn to foster a patient outlook and find joy and fulfillment in the present moment. | |||

Lawson: My plan was as simple as they come . . . in theory. Show up at the Cerberus clubhouse and give dear old Dad a piece of my mind. Delilah Donovan was a breath of fresh air. But no matter how much I changed, she'd always be too good for a man like me. Hound: The moment I realized the blonde I was hunting wasn't around, I ended up captivated by a redhead dancing on the stage. When I learned that she WAS the job, everything became clouded. I was only looking for a one night stand, but when the dust settled and she ran, my only desire was to chase her. Would she even stay if I caught her? Contains mature themes. | |||

| Tinnitus lindern - Tinnitus maskieren: Tinnitus loswerden mit der bewährten Retraining-Therapie: Zertifizierte Klangwelten aus den USA - Dr. Jeremy Bohne | 10 Jun 2021 | 07:05:14 | |
Hören Sie sich dieses volle Hörbuch kostenlos bei https://hotaudiobook.com/free Titel: Tinnitus lindern - Tinnitus maskieren: Tinnitus loswerden mit der bewährten Retraining-Therapie: Zertifizierte Klangwelten aus den USA Autor: Dr. Jeremy Bohne Erzähler: Laurenz J. Peters Format: Unabridged Spieldauer: 7:05:14 Sprache: Deutsch Veröffentlichungsdatum: 06-10-2021 Herausgeber: Findaway Voices Kategorien: Self Development, Health & Wellness, Mindfulness & Meditation Zusammenfassung: Tinnitus hat in den allerseltensten Fällen eine körperliche Ursache. Viel öfter kommt er von innen. Auslöser sind meist Stress, innere Anspannung, verspannte Kiefer- und Nackenmuskeln. Bei jedem Tinnitus gilt: Je mehr Aufmerksamkeit Sie dem Geräusch widmen, desto störender und lauter wirkt das jeweilige Geräusch. Eine systemische akustische Ablenkung ist daher fast immer ein wichtiger Schlüssel zur Genesung. Die von Neurowissenschaftlern, Fachärzten und Audio-Experten in den USA entwickelten Anwendungen basieren auf neuesten medizinischen Erkenntnissen und nutzen hochmodernes Audioprocessing. WICHTIG: Dieses Hörbuch ist kein 'Allheilmittel' gegen den Tinnitus. Doch es gilt in Fachkreisen als die perfekte Ergänzung zu einer begleitenden Tinnitustherapie. Das Prinzip ist dabei ganz einfach: Die sechs Klangwelten (Länge: jeweils 60 Minuten) mindern akut die Stärke des Tinnitus im Hörsystem und bringen das Gehirn in vielen Fällen dazu, das störende Geräusch dauerhaft auszublenden. Der Tinnitus wird auf diese Weise überhört, ohne länger zu stören. Alles, was Sie dazu brauchen ist: - Ihr Smartphone, Tablet oder Notebook; - Eine der sechs Klangwelten in exzellenter Audioqualität, die von Dr. Jeremy Bohne und seinen Kollegen speziell zur Tinnitus-Behandlung (TRT) entwickelt wurden; - Stereo-Kopfhörer: Verwenden Sie bitte möglichst hochwertige Produkte mit einem sehr guten Klangbild.

| Tao of Wing Chun: The History and Principles of China’s Most Explosive Martial Art - Danny Xuan | 08 Jun 2021 | 09:27:53 | |
Listen to this audiobook in full for free on https://hotaudiobook.com/free Title: Tao of Wing Chun: The History and Principles of China’s Most Explosive Martial Art Author: Danny Xuan Narrator: P.J. Ochlan Format: Unabridged Length: 9:27:53 Language: English Release date: 06-08-2021 Publisher: Tantor Media Genres: History, Sports & Recreation, Asia, Other Summary: Wing Chun is the most popular form of Chinese Kung Fu in the world today, with over four million practitioners. This guide will fascinate and educate anyone interested in the martial arts, from beginner to master. The art as it is presently understood has been handed down from teacher to student for more than three hundred years. Until now, no one has ever stepped back and taken a critical look at why this art's techniques are presented and performed the way they are. This book, by Wing Chun master Danny Xuan and martial-arts authority John Little, is the first to decipher these techniques that until now have been encrypted within this art. Xuan and Little reveal how Wing Chun was designed holistically, based on the laws of physics, human nature, and biomechanics. It was also designed with economy, efficiency, and productivity in mind. Unlike other martial arts, Wing Chun doesn't focus on making a person larger, more rugged, acrobatic, or animal-like; rather, it focuses on making optimal use of one's own bodily structure and power potential by applying the sciences of biomechanics and physics. Thus, it is possible for males and females of all ages and sizes to excel in this art. | |||

| History: A Very Short Introduction - John H. Arnold | 08 Jun 2021 | 04:43:11 | |
Listen to this audiobook in full for free on https://hotaudiobook.com/free Title: History: A Very Short Introduction Author: John H. Arnold Narrator: Richard M. Davidson Format: Unabridged Length: 4:43:11 Language: English Release date: 06-08-2021 Publisher: Tantor Media Genres: History, World Summary: There are many stories we can tell about the past, and we are not, perhaps, as free as we might imagine in our choice of which stories to tell, or where those stories end. John Arnold's addition to Oxford's popular Very Short Introductions series is a stimulating essay about how people study and understand history. The book begins by inviting us to think about various questions provoked by our investigation of history, and then explores the ways in which these questions have been answered in the past. Such key concepts as causation, interpretation, and periodization are introduced by way of concrete examples of how historians work, thus giving the reader a sense of the excitement implicit in discovering the past-and ourselves. The aim throughout History: A Very Short Introduction is to discuss theories of history in a general, pithy, and accessible manner, rather than delve into specific periods. This is a book that will appeal to all students and general readers with an interest in history or historiography. | |||
| Book of Mormon: A Very Short Introduction - Terryl Givens | 08 Jun 2021 | 04:46:57 | |
Listen to this audiobook in full for free on https://hotaudiobook.com/free Title: Book of Mormon: A Very Short Introduction Author: Terryl Givens Narrator: Kevin Pariseau Format: Unabridged Length: 4:46:57 Language: English Release date: 06-08-2021 Publisher: Tantor Media Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity Summary: With over 140 million copies in print, and serving as the principal proselytizing tool of one of the world's fastest growing faiths, the Book of Mormon is undoubtedly one of the most influential religious texts produced in the western world. Givens examines the Book of Mormon first and foremost in terms of the claims that its narrators make for its historical genesis, its purpose as a sacred text, and its meaning for an audience which shifts over the course of the history it unfolds. The author traces five governing themes in particular-revelation, Christ, Zion, scripture, and covenant-and analyzes the Book's central doctrines and teachings. Givens also provides samples of a cast of characters that number in the hundreds, and analyzes representative passages from a work that encompasses tragedy, poetry, sermons, visions, family histories, and military chronicles. Finally, this introduction surveys the contested origins and production of a work held by millions to be scripture, and reviews the scholarly debates that address questions of the record's historicity. Here then is an accessible guide to what is, by any measure, an indispensable key to understanding Mormonism. But it is also an introduction to a compelling and complex text that is too often overshadowed by the controversies that surround it. | |||

But she wants to remember. However, if she does, will the truth shatter her? Contains mature themes. | |||
| Bookseller of Florence: The Story of the Manuscripts That Illuminated the Renaissance - Ross King | 08 Jun 2021 | 18:20:15 | |
Listen to this audiobook in full for free on https://hotaudiobook.com/free Title: Bookseller of Florence: The Story of the Manuscripts That Illuminated the Renaissance Author: Ross King Narrator: James Cameron Stewart Format: Unabridged Length: 18:20:15 Language: English Release date: 06-08-2021 Publisher: Tantor Media Genres: History, Fiction & Literature, Europe, Literary Criticism Summary: The Renaissance in Florence conjures images of beautiful frescoes and elegant buildings-the dazzling handiwork of the city's skilled artists and architects. But equally important for the centuries to follow were geniuses of a different sort: Florence's manuscript hunters, scribes, scholars, and booksellers, who blew the dust off a thousand years of history and, through the discovery and diffusion of ancient knowledge, imagined a new and enlightened world. At the heart of this activity, which bestselling author Ross King relates in his exhilarating new book, was a remarkable man: Vespasiano da Bisticci. Born in 1422, he became what a friend called 'the king of the world's booksellers.' At a time when all books were made by hand, over four decades Vespasiano produced and sold many hundreds of volumes from his bookshop, which also became a gathering spot for debate and discussion. Besides repositories of ancient wisdom by the likes of Plato, Aristotle, and Quintilian, his books were works of art in their own right, copied by talented scribes and illuminated by the finest miniaturists. His clients included a roll-call of popes, kings, and princes across Europe who wished to burnish their reputations by founding magnificent libraries. | |||

| New Testament: A Very Short Introduction - Luke Timothy Johnson | 08 Jun 2021 | 05:15:09 | |
Listen to this audiobook in full for free on https://hotaudiobook.com/free Title: New Testament: A Very Short Introduction Author: Luke Timothy Johnson Narrator: Robert Feifar Format: Unabridged Length: 5:15:09 Language: English Release date: 06-08-2021 Publisher: Tantor Media Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Biblical Studies Summary: As ancient literature and a cornerstone of the Christian faith, the New Testament has exerted a powerful religious and cultural impact. But how much do we really know about its origins? In this concise, engaging book, noted New Testament scholar Luke Timothy Johnson takes listeners on a journey back to the time of the early Roman Empire, when the New Testament was written in ordinary Greek (koine) by the first Christians. The author explains how the Gospels, Acts of the Apostles, and Revelation evolved into the canon of sacred writings for the Christian religion, and how they reflect a reinterpretation of the symbolic world and societal forces of first-century Greco-Roman and Jewish life. Equally important, listeners will find both a positive and critical reading of the New Testament-one that looks beyond its theological orientation to reveal an often-surprising diversity of viewpoints. This one-of-a-kind introduction engages four distinct dimensions of the earliest Christian writings-anthropological, historical, religious, and literary-to provide listeners with a broad conceptual and factual framework. In addition, the book takes an in-depth look at compositions that have proven to be particularly relevant over the centuries, including Paul's letters to the Corinthians and Romans and the Gospels of John, Mark, Matthew, and Luke. | |||
| Scandal of the Century, and Other Writings - Cristóbal Pera | 08 Jun 2021 | 10:59:01 | |
Listen to this audiobook in full for free on https://hotaudiobook.com/free Title: Scandal of the Century, and Other Writings Author: Cristóbal Pera Narrator: Bernardo De Paula Format: Unabridged Length: 10:59:01 Language: English Release date: 06-08-2021 Publisher: Blackstone Audiobooks Genres: Biography & Memoir, Fiction & Literature, Literary, Essays & Anthologies, Language Instruction, Language Arts Summary: From one of the titans of twentieth-century literature, collected here for the first time: a selection of his journalism from the late 1940s to the mid-1980s—work that he considered even more important to his legacy than his universally acclaimed works of fiction. “I don’t want to be remembered for One Hundred Years of Solitude or for the Nobel Prize, but rather for my journalism,” Gabriel García Márquez said in the final years of his life. And while some of his journalistic writings have been made available over the years, this is the first volume to gather a representative selection from across the first four decades of his career—years during which he worked as a full-time, often muckraking, and controversial journalist, even as he penned the fiction that would bring him the Nobel Prize in 1982. Here are the first pieces he wrote while working for newspapers in the coastal Colombian cities of Cartagena and Barranquilla … his longer, more fiction-like reportage from Paris and Rome … his monthly columns for Spain’s El País. And while all the work points in style, wit, depth, and passion to his fiction, these fifty pieces are, more than anything, a revelation of the writer working at the profession he believed to be “the best in the world.” | |||
| Ancient Near East: A Very Short Introduction - Amanda H. Podany | 08 Jun 2021 | 04:02:34 | |
Listen to this audiobook in full for free on https://hotaudiobook.com/free Title: Ancient Near East: A Very Short Introduction Author: Amanda H. Podany Narrator: Fajer Al-Kaisi Format: Unabridged Length: 4:02:34 Language: English Release date: 06-08-2021 Publisher: Tantor Media Genres: History, Ancient Civilizations Summary: The ancient Near East is known as the 'cradle of civilization'-and for good reason. Mesopotamia, Syria, and Anatolia were home to an extraordinarily rich and successful culture. Indeed, it was a time and place of earth-shaking changes for humankind: the beginnings of writing and law, kingship and bureaucracy, diplomacy and state-sponsored warfare, mathematics and literature. This Very Short Introduction offers a fascinating account of this momentous time in human history. The three thousand years covered here-from around 3500 BCE, with the founding of the first Mesopotamian cities, to the conquest of the Near East by the Persian king Cyrus the Great in 539 BCE-represent a period of incredible innovation. As historian Amanda Podany explores this era, she overturns the popular image of the ancient world as a primitive, violent place. We discover that women had many freedoms: they could own property, run businesses, and represent themselves in court. Diplomats traveled between the capital cities of major powers ensuring peace between the kings. Scribes and scholars studied the stars and could predict eclipses and the movements of the planets. Every chapter introduces the listener to a particular moment in ancient Near Eastern history, illuminating such aspects as trade, religion, diplomacy, law, warfare, kingship, and agriculture. | |||
| History of Astronomy: A Very Short Introduction - Michael Hoskin | 08 Jun 2021 | 03:47:00 | |
Listen to this audiobook in full for free on https://hotaudiobook.com/free Title: History of Astronomy: A Very Short Introduction Author: Michael Hoskin Narrator: Marc Vietor Format: Unabridged Length: 3:47:00 Language: English Release date: 06-08-2021 Publisher: Tantor Media Genres: Science & Technology, Astronomy & Physics Summary: This is a fascinating introduction to the history of Western astronomy, from prehistoric times to the origins of astrophysics in the mid-nineteenth century. Historical records are first found in Babylon and Egypt, and after two millennia the arithmetical astronomy of the Babylonians merged with the Greek geometrical approach to culminate in the Almagest of Ptolemy. This legacy was transmitted to the Latin West via Islam, and led to Copernicus's claim that the Earth is in motion. In justifying this Kepler converted astronomy into a branch of dynamics, leading to Newton's universal law of gravity. The book concludes with eighteenth- and nineteenth-century applications of Newton's law, and the first explorations of the universe of stars. | |||

In 1982 they were just months from retirement when they flew in anger for the first time. It was to be a record-breaking mission of breathtaking audacity: a single bomber launched from a remote island airbase to carry out what would be the longest-range air attack in history. An eight thousand mile round trip. Her crew of six would be flying into a hornet's nest of modern weaponry: radar-guided anti-aircraft guns and missiles. There would be no second chances. Vulcan 607 tells the gripping true story of that legendary raid for the first time-an operation that many thought would turn out to be a real life Mission Impossible. | |||

Jones Narrator: Kevin Young Format: Unabridged Length: 5:21:02 Language: English Release date: 06-08-2021 Publisher: Tantor Media Genres: American Politics Summary: The American founding fathers were dedicated to the project of creating a government both functional and incapable of devolving into tyranny. To do this, they intentionally decentralized decision making among the legislative, executive, and judiciary branches. They believed this separation of powers would force compromise and achieve their goal of 'separating to unify.' In the second edition of this Very Short Introduction, Charles O. Jones delves into the constitutional roots of the American presidency to show how presidents faced the challenges of governing within a system of separation of powers. This updated edition of The American Presidency reviews crucial themes, including democratization of presidential elections, transitioning into and organizing a presidency, challenges in leading the permanent government, making law and policy, and reforming and changing the institution. It also introduces new case studies from the Obama administration, providing compelling insights into contemporary critical issues such as military power, the role of the First Lady, and the new trends in electoral campaigning-including the stunning advances in mass media and campaign technology. | |||

| Roy Rogers Show, Vol. 1 - Black Eye Entertainment | 08 Jun 2021 | 07:43:02 | |
Listen to this audiobook in full for free on https://hotaudiobook.com/free Title: Roy Rogers Show, Vol. 1 Author: Black Eye Entertainment Narrator: A Full Cast Format: Unabridged Length: 7:43:02 Language: English Release date: 06-08-2021 Publisher: Blackstone Audiobooks Genres: Non-Fiction, Art & Music Summary: America’s Favorite Cowboy, Roy Rogers, stars in sixteen rip-roaring western radio adventures from the early 1950s! Cowboy actor and singer Roy Rogers galloped his way across the plains, always ready to apprehend cattle thieves, break up a diamond-smuggling ring, thwart bank robbers, or rescue a kidnap victim. The Roy Rogers Show premiered on radio in 1944 with Roy’s real-life wife Dale Evans at his side. Youngsters were enthralled by the program’s mix or great music, cozy campfire evenings, and Western drama, with comic turns from Roy’s sidekick, George “Gabby” Hayes. In later years Pat Brady, a zany camp cook in a few of Roy’s movies, replaced Gabby as Roy’s sidekick. Unlike other cowboy western radio shows of the day, The Roy Rogers Show featured cars and telephones, and the audience was only too willing to suspend disbelief.

| White Rose Resists: A Novel of the German Students Who Defied Hitler - Amanda Barratt | 08 Jun 2021 | 13:05:26 | |
Listen to this audiobook in full for free on https://hotaudiobook.com/free Title: White Rose Resists: A Novel of the German Students Who Defied Hitler Author: Amanda Barratt Narrator: Christa Lewis, Greg Tremblay Format: Unabridged Length: 13:05:26 Language: English Release date: 06-08-2021 Publisher: Tantor Media Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Fiction & Literature, Historical Fiction, Religious Fiction Summary: Inspired by the incredible true story of a group of ordinary men and women who dared to stand against evil. The ideal of a new Germany swept up Sophie Scholl in a maelstrom of patriotic fervor-that is, until she realized the truth behind Hitler's machinations for the fatherland. Now she and other students in Munich, the cradle of the Nazi government, have banded together to form a group to fight for the truth: the White Rose. Risking everything to print and distribute leaflets calling for Germans to rise up against the evil permeating their country, the White Rose treads a knife's edge of discovery by the Gestapo. Annalise Brandt came to the University of Munich to study art, not get involved with conspiracy. The daughter of an SS officer, she's been brought up to believe in the Führer's divinely appointed leadership. But the more she comes to know Sophie and her friends, the more she questions the Nazi propaganda. Soon Annalise joins their double life-students by day, resisters by night. And as the stakes increase, they're all forced to confront the deadly consequences meted out to any who dare to oppose the Reich. | |||

Calling all Christians to renew their understanding of the great doctrines of Christianity, Boice shows how we can live by these teachings even today. He discusses: “God’s Good, Pleasing, and Perfect Will” (12:2) “Right Living at All Times” (12:17) “To Each His Due” (13:6–7) “Understanding the Times” (13:11) “Check-off Points for a Good Church” (15:14) “The Full Measure of God’s Blessing” (15:29) This expositional commentary on one of the Bible’s most popular books combines careful scholarship and clear communication in a verse-by-verse and section-by-section reading of the biblical text. Integrating thoughtful interpretation with contemporary insight for daily living, James Montgomery Boice explains the meaning of the text and relates the text’s concerns to the church, Christianity, and the world in which we live. | |||

Listen to this audiobook in full for free on https://hotaudiobook.com/free Title: Philco Radio Time, Vol. 2 Author: Black Eye Entertainment Narrator: A Full Cast, Bing Crosby Format: Unabridged Length: 7:58:09 Language: English Release date: 06-08-2021 Publisher: Blackstone Audiobooks Genres: Non-Fiction, Art & Music Summary: Bing Crosby stars in sixteen half-hour musical-variety episodes of Philco Radio Time and invites his celebrity friends to join him! Until his semi-retirement in 1958, Bing Crosby worked steadily on radio and had a sizeable number of chart singles over two consecutive decades. And, somewhat surprisingly, he was also responsible for changing the way radio programs were broadcast coast-to-coast. Sponsorship through multiple companies over the years led to revised formats from all-musical presentations to include comic sketches. Among the most popular was The Kraft Music Hall, originally starring Al Jolson, where Crosby soon replaced Jolson as the weekly host. The show was jam-packed with entertainment: Crosby sung a song or two, participated in verbal banter with celebrity guests, and joined in on the fun with a comedy sketch. In 1940, the same format was resurrected for The Bing Crosby Show and in 1946 for Philco Radio Time. In 1946, at the height of his career, the Oscar-winning Crosby demanded that multiple radio broadcasts be pre-recorded in a single day, rather than broadcasting “live” week after week. The singer invested his own money into a new recording system that involved reel-to-reel tape. The entertainment industry quickly saw its potential and radio broadcasting changed. Enjoy sixteen Philco Radio Time episodes starring the one and only, Bing Crosby! 2/5/47 - Beatrice Lillie2/12/47 - Groucho Marx5/14/47 - Groucho Marx5/21/47 - Maurice Chevalier5/28/47 - Margaret O’Brien6/11/47 - Ethel Merman6/18/47 - Bob Hope10/22/47 - Burl Ives10/29/47 - Victor Moore & Boris Karloff11/5/47 - Ozzie & Harriet11/12/47 - Peter Lorre12/3/47 - Al Jolson1/14/48 - George Burns3/10/48 - Jimmy Stewart3/17/48 - Margaret O’Brien3/31/48 - Dick Powell | |||
