Mountain of Madness
Summary
Awakened from an induced year-long slumber, the nameless dwarf is tortured by memories of slaughter and must come to terms with who he has become: an outcast, a butcher, the most reviled of dwarven-kind. As forces of unimaginable destruction coalesce around the mountain fortress of a mad sorcerer, the philosopher Aristodeus puts together a team for a last, desperate attempt to avert the coming cataclysm: a knight besieged by doubts, who has been prepared since a child for the current crisis, yet is crumbling under the pressure of the task before him; an albino assassin who denies the truth of what he really is; a woman with a black sword as disturbing as the axe responsible for the massacre at Arx Gravis; and a dwarf with no name, who will either carve out the path of his own redemption or condemn the world to a night that will never end.

The Art of Listening Prayer
Summary

Are you satisfied with a seemingly one-way conversation with God? Do you ever wonder if he really wants to hear from you? The Art of Listening Prayer is about what it really means to have a personal relationship with God.

Superstition
Summary
Despite the dominance of science in today's world, superstitious beliefs - both traditional and new - remain surprisingly popular. A recent survey of adults in the United States found that 33 percent believed that finding a penny was good luck, and 23 percent believed that the number seven was lucky. Where did these superstitions come from, and why do they persist today? Superstition: A Very Short Introduction explores the nature and surprising history of superstition from antiquity to the present. For two millennia, superstition was a label derisively applied to foreign religions and unacceptable religious practices, and its primary purpose was used to separate groups and assert religious and social authority. After the Enlightenment, the superstition label was still used to define groups, but the new dividing line was between reason and unreason. Today, despite our apparent sophistication and technological advances, superstitious belief and behavior remain widespread, and highly educated people are not immune. Stuart Vyse takes an exciting look at the varieties of popular superstitious beliefs today and the psychological reasons behind their continued existence, as well as the likely future course of superstition in our increasingly connected world.

Spittin' Kitten's Speed-Away
Summary
The little, orange kitten stopped and scratched his neck. “Fleas,” he mumbled to himself; he could feel the bugs wandering around in his fur, stopping for a bite every now and again. Yuk! He was hungry, too, but he knew his mother was struggling to feed him and his four siblings. Spittin’ plopped himself down in their nest beside the barn.

In front of him splayed out a whole big world he’d never known existed! Soon Spittin’ finds himself on an unexpected adventure - he flies through the air, scrambles for a hiding place, and even takes an unexpected ride in the engine of a car.

The audiobook also features vocabulary builders throughout the story and excels as part of a humane education curriculum.

A Grave Business: Ghost Stories Collection
Summary
“It is an auspicious night, don’t you think?" The spirit gestured out over the mist covered graveyard before them. “Tonight is All Hallows Eve,” he breathed, “Halloween!” Melvin’s eyes widened as he turned his gaze to follow the ghosts’ hand. Distant howling floated back toward them on the chill breeze. “Tonight phantoms rise up from this last plot of hallowed ground. They assume form and substance and walk amongst the living!" A shiver ran down Melvin’s spine. “Well, Sir Thomas,” he croaked, “here’s hoping that your idea works, or this may be their last Halloween ever!” “It is time.” His eyes blazed as his hands flowed forward, icy fingers tightening around his companion’s neck....

A Healthy Brain for Life
Summary
Many people claim they would rather be diagnosed with cancer than dementia or Alzheimer's. What they may not realize is that decreased or impaired brain function is not a foregone conclusion as we get older. Our own lifestyle choices and habits can have a significant impact - for good or ill - on our brains. And that means there's hope. Drawing from the latest medical research, Dr. Richard Furman helps listeners understand brain health and shows them how to make three powerful lifestyle changes that can help decrease the probability of developing dementia or Alzheimer's. He explains how eating the right foods, exercising, and sustaining an ideal weight can dramatically reduce the likelihood of developing brain disorders in the first place, and even how those habits can slow the progression of dementia in someone who has already received a diagnosis.

Land of Nightmare: Soldier, Outlaw, Hero, King
Summary
Alone, bereft, and unable to forgive himself for the slaughter at the ravine, the Nameless Dwarf swears to do one last thing, even if it kills him: With Nils Fargin, the son of a Jeridium guild lord as his guide, Nameless pursues the survivors among the dwarves, hoping to convince them that the curse of the Black Axe has been lifted from him and they are safe to return home. The trail leads to the town of Malfen - a nest of cutthroats and the gateway to Cerreth, the Land of Nightmare, which would be suicide for the dwarves to enter. Nameless and Nils join forces with a shapeshifting assassin and a sorcerer under the sway of a dubious magical grimoire for the hazardous journey into Cerreth. It soon becomes apparent their new companions have agendas of their own. With threats from within and horror on every side, Nameless knows that time is running out for his people. The only surprise is that they have lasted so long. But new hope awaits him in a city beneath the waves - if he can first survive the unstoppable evil that destroyed the dwarf lords of old.

The Family
Summary
He pressed in again, this time nipping her bottom lip, and the entire room seemed to swallow her, the walls spinning, the floor falling away. Hanging onto him, she descended into a multicolored vision, shades of light she'd never seen filling her head. When her vision cleared, he shone, the purest transparent white. She laid one hand at the base of his neck, and it flushed red. "You did this to me," he said, "and I really like it." Running "The Earth Shop", Lauren Fournier had seen many unusual things. The supernatural was, after all, the purpose of the store. But never, since she'd taken it over, had anyone in the Christian community entered without an ulterior motive. They want to "save her soul" without a heart for understanding who she was. But from the moment Reverend Dagger Dawkins first speaks to her, it's clear something about him is different. Not simply that he asks her out on a date. No man of his caliber has ever dared to do that. But also, she feels a pull toward him she can't explain. When he disappears in front of her eyes, she's desperate for him to return. But nothing about their date is normal - not his description of his superhuman family, not his skin turning colors at her touch, nor the instantaneous transfer of them both from her apartment in Virginia to the California coast. Who is he? And why, of all the girls he could choose, did he pick her? Audiobook four of five in the Superhuman series of sci-fi teen romance by best-selling author Suzanne D. Williams. Clean listens for teens.

Fate of the Dwarf Lords
Summary
Having worked out his penance and resettled his people in the citadel of Arnoch, the Nameless Dwarf decides to start a new life in the up-and-coming town of Brink. Seven years later, he has everything a dwarf could possibly wish for - a gym, a beer hall, and a bawdy house across the road. Then a blood-stained dwarf staggers into town with a message of doom: Arnoch has sunk beneath the waves, its last defense against the attack of a five-headed dragon. The one slender hope remaining to the dwarves lies in their distant past: the dwarf lords, who had been created for perils such as this. But for centuries, they have been in exile on Thanatos, a death-world likely to change even the greatest of heroes. With time running out for Arnoch, Nameless must find the dwarf lords and persuade them to come home. But before that, he first has to survive them.

The Child
Summary
The energy coursing through them changed in form, as strong as it’d been, but different. It bound them together, driving him closer, until she could see the fine hairs dusting his chin. Dagger lowered his hands to his sides. “By the authority of the church and in accordance with the state, I pronounce you husband and wife.” No sooner had he spoken than, in a wave of color, he faded from view. Margot started, searching the space for him. “Who are you?” she asked again. But she added a second question this time. “Who am I?" Stryke took his brother’s seat and leaned toward her. “I’m superhuman,” he said, “and you are my wife." Superhuman Stryke Dawkins has billions of dollars at his disposal. He can buy what he wants and go wherever he chooses without any struggle. Yet the poison beneath his skin has given him a solitary existence. It’s better to live alone than risk innocent lives. Margot Fischer volunteered for a scientific study that promised her a child. Though the premise was strange, she has so much love to give and a wonderful example of parenting in the memory of her deceased mother. She can mold this young life placed in her hands and create a happy future for them both. But when an attack on her unborn child’s life thrusts her and Stryke together, it seems the truth behind the baby’s conception links directly to the Dawkins brothers’ genetic history and a truth about the child’s existence that someone will stop at nothing to hide.

Covered
Summary
Using intimate stories from their marriage and research-backed concepts, Kenyon and Taccara Martin help couples become a "Covering" for their spouse with four basic pillars: safety, security, trust, and empathy. In the bible, there are over 40 different words translated as covering or to cover. Among these meanings you’ll find the general theme is to hide, protect, and to present. A covering within a marriage hides the most private and intimate parts of your spouse, protects them from outside influences, and presents them back to God the Father. If your marriage is suffering, if you’re looking for ways to strengthen your bond, or if you know something is missing in your marriage but you can’t quite identify what it is, this book is for you. With Covered you will learn how to become a place of refuge for your spouse in a way that allows them to explore and express who they are with you. It will challenge you to being open and real about areas in your marriage that often lay dormant until trouble arises. Packed with exercises and discussion questions for couples or small groups, Covered is the definitive and practical guide for anyone who wants to Cover or reCover their marriage.

Capitalism Versus Socialism
Summary
Are capitalist economies dominated by greed, exploitation, and inequality? Is socialism the path to a better life and greater equality? Does the Bible tell us that socialism is the right way for people to live? The hot controversy over Bernie Sanders and AOC is testimony to the passion people have over the question of socialism or capitalism. In Capitalism Versus Socialism: What Does the Bible Have to Say?, Dr. Simpson demonstrates clearly that the Bible has something to say about the foundations of capitalist and socialist economic systems, even though it does not specifically prescribe either one. He spells out the vital coordinating role of the “Invisible Hand” in a decentralized market - capitalist - system and how this role gets short-circuited in other systems, notably socialist, communist, and fascist systems. In addition, he shows that, even though the Nordic countries have been singled out as socialist successes, these countries actually are welfare states based on market principles. The United States, too, is a welfare state, but on a less extensive scale. Dr. Simpson points out how the Bible addresses inequality and is clear about how we are to care for the less fortunate. He shows, not surprisingly, that the tools of economics and a vast body of experience conform to what the Bible has to say. The author brings the perspective of a professional economist with a wealth of experience working through difficult public policy challenges and the perspective of a longtime student of the Bible. Get this book, and you can gain a clear and sound understanding of the differences between capitalism and socialism and how they square with the Bible.
