Hoffnung - gerade jetzt! Von Mut getragen durch alle Lebenslagen Ungekürzte Lesung mit Rainer M. Schießler und Stefan Wilkening (1 mp3-CD) Der Audio Verlag (2023)
Inhalt: Wir erleben eine Zeit, in der es immer schwerer wird, Mut zu schöpfen. Krieg, Krankheit, Inflation - eine Hiobsbotschaft jagt die nächste. Aber Rainer Schießler ist überzeugt: Die Geschichten der Bibel sind auch heute - oder besser gerade jetzt - unsere Quelle der Hoffnung, der Zuversicht, unsere ganz persönlichen Mutmacher! Und er hat das am eigenen Leib erfahren: Nach einem schweren Bergunfall musste auch er sich besinnen und seine Hoffnung aktivieren. Gar nicht so einfach - selbst als Pfarrer. Der bundesweit bekannte und beliebte Münchner Seelsorger bündelt in seinem neuen Buch Themen, die alle Menschen im Laufe des Lebens betreffen - wie etwa Beziehungen, Leid, Alltag, Vertrauen -, versammelt die dazu passenden Bibelstellen und interpretiert sie auf unvergleichliche Weise. Pfarrer Schießler liefert so einen lebensfrohen, stärkenden, spirituell inspirierenden Ratgeber. Ein Hörbuch, das Trost spendet, aufrichtet und den Blick dafür schärft, dass wir in diesem Leben reich beschenkt sind, auch in den schweren Zeiten. Ein Hörbuch, mit dem Bibelauslegung so lebensnah und zugewandt wird wie Schießler selbst. Umfang: 467 Min. ISBN: 978-3-7424-2740-3

After the fall of Summerland, Jane McKeene hoped her life would get simpler: Get out of town, stay alive, and head west to California to find her mother.

One of the twentieth century's enduring works, One Hundred Years of Solitude is a widely beloved and acclaimed novel known throughout the world and the ultimate achievement in a Nobel Prize-winning career.
The novel tells the story of the rise and fall of the mythical town of Macondo through the history of the Buendía family. Rich and brilliant, it is a chronicle of life, death, and the tragicomedy of humankind. In the beautiful, ridiculous, and tawdry story of the Buendía family, one sees all of humanity, just as in the history, myths, growth, and decay of Macondo, one sees all of Latin America.
Love and lust, war and revolution, riches and poverty, youth and senility, the variety of life, the endlessness of death, the search for peace and truth—these universal themes dominate the novel. Alternately reverential and comical, One Hundred Years of Solitude weaves the political, personal, and spiritual to bring a new consciousness to storytelling. Translated into dozens of languages, this stunning work is no less than an account of the history of the human race.
From the Nobel Prize-winning author of One Hundred Years of Solitude comes a masterly evocation of an unrequited passion so strong that it binds two people's lives together for more than half a century.
In their youth, Florentino Ariza and Fermina Daza fall passionately in love. When Fermina eventually chooses to marry a wealthy, well-born doctor, Florentino is devastated, but he is a romantic. As he rises in his business career, he whiles away the years in 622 affairs—yet he reserves his heart for Fermina. Her husband dies at last, and Florentino purposefully attends the funeral. Fifty years, nine months, and four days after he first declared his love for Fermina, he does so again.
With humorous sagacity and consummate craft, Gabriel García Márquez traces an exceptional half-century of unrequited love. Though it seems never to be conveniently contained, love flows through the novel in many wonderful guises—joyful, melancholy, enriching, and ever surprising.

The story of a Vietnam we never got in history class' OPRAH DAILY————————- You have no idea what it was like. For us. The women, I mean. The wives. 1963. Saigon. Tricia is a shy newlywed, married to a rising attorney working for US Navy intelligence. Charlene is a practiced corporate spouse and mother of three, a beauty and a bully. The two women form a wary alliance as they struggle to balance the pressure to be respectable wives for their ambitious husbands, with their own dubious impulses to "do good" for the people of Vietnam. Sixty years later, Charlene's daughter, spurred by an encounter with an aging Vietnam veteran, reaches out to Tricia. Together, they look back at their time in Saigon, discovering how their lives as women on the periphery — of politics, of history, of war, of their husbands' convictions — have been shaped and burdened by the unintended consequences of America's tragic interference in Southeast Asia. Exploring the disaster of the Vietnam War through the lives built by American wives in 1960s Saigon, this is a virtuosic novel about folly and grace, obligation, sacrifice and the quest for absolution in a broken world.

Being single is like playing the lottery. There's always the chance that with one piece of paper you could win it all. Daphne Bell believes the universe has a plan for her. Every time she meets a new man, she receives a slip of paper with his name and a number on it—the exact amount of time they will be together. The papers told her she'd spend three days with Martin in Paris; five weeks with Noah in San Francisco; and three months with Hugo, her ex-boyfriend turned best friend. Daphne has been receiving the numbered papers for over twenty years, always wondering when there might be one without an expiration. Finally, the night of a blind date at her favorite Los Angeles restaurant, there's only a name: Jake.
But as Jake and Daphne's story unfolds, Daphne finds herself doubting the paper's prediction, and wrestling with what it means to be both committed and truthful. Because Daphne knows things Jake doesn't, information that—if he found out—would break his heart.
Told with her signature warmth and insight into matters of the heart, Rebecca Serle has finally set her sights on romantic love.
