The Story of God's Love for You Audiobook

"every story whispers his name… It’s an adventure story about a young Hero who comes from a far country to win back his lost treasure. It’s a love story about a brave Prince who leaves his palace, his throne—everything—to rescue the one he loves. It’s like the most wonderful of fairy tales that has come true in real life! You see, the best thing about this Story is—it’s true. And at the center of the Story, there is a baby. The Child upon whom everything would depend. All the stars and mountains and the oceans and galaxies and everything were nothing compared to how much God loved his children. He would move heaven and earth to be near them. Always. Whatever happened, whatever it cost him, he would always love them. And so it was that the wonderful love story began … —from The Story of God’s Love for You (originally published as The Jesus Storybook Bible)"

Book

Books contain countless tales—but what if Book told its own story? From clay tablets to e-readers, here is a quirky, kid-friendly look at the book. Books are one of humankind’s greatest forms of expression, and now Book, in a witty, idiosyncratic voice, tells us the inside story. A wonderfully eccentric character with strong opinions and a poetic turn of phrase, Book tells of a journey from papyrus scrolls to medieval manuscripts to printed paper and beyond—pondering, along the way, many bookish things, including the evolution of the alphabet, the library (known to Egyptians as 'the healing place of the soul'), and even book burning. Book is a captivating work of nonfiction by one of England's leading poets.

Jan als Detektiv, Folge 1: Jan wird Detektiv (Ungekürzte Lesung)

Er empfand nicht die geringste Furcht, obwohl sein Instinkt ihm sagte, dass Gefahr drohte. Seine hellblauen Augen sahen wachsam auf den Fremden, der plötzlich eine ruckartige Bewegung machte, wodurch in derselben Sekunde eine Pistol zum Vorschein kam, die er auf den Kassiers gerichtet hielt. Gleichzeitig flüsterte er mit einer Stimme, die scharf wie eine Stahlklinge war: 'Geben Sie das Geld heraus, aber rasch! JAN ALS DETEKTIV - die spannende Kultbuchreihe ist zurück - toller denn je! REZENSION 'Die Detektivgeschichten 'Jan als Detektiv' für Buben und Mädchen von Knud Meister und Carlo Andersen sind spannend und logisch aufgebaut. Sie verbinden Abenteuer und Humor auf eine für Jugendliche verständliche Art. Sie sind spannende und humorvolle Unterhaltungslektüre, die man ohne Vorbehalt Jungen und Mädchen ab 10 Jahren in die Hans geben kann.' - Vereinigte Jugenschriften-Ausschüsse Nordhein-Westfalen DIE JAN ALS DETEKTIV-REIHE Ist es möglich, gute Kriminalgeschichten für die Jugend zu schreiben? Diese war die Frage, die die Kriminalschriftsteller, Knud Meister und Carlo Andersen, stellten, als sie mit der Jan-Reihe anfingen. 70 Jahre später beweist der Erfolg der Jan-Reihe das Gelingen. Die Reihe zählt mehr als 80 Bücher - 33 in deutscher Übersetzung. In den Romanen geht es um den 14- bis 20-jährigen Jan Helmer und seine Freunde, die in allerlei Abenteuer verwickelt werden. Jan ist der Sohn eines Kopenhagener Kriminalkommissars, dem sein Vater regelmässig von seinem Beruf erzählt, um ihn zu zeigen, dass Mut, kühle Überlegung und restloser Einsatz der ganzen Person vonnöten sind, um dem Kampf mit einem Verbrecher aufzunehmen. Jan kennt keinen andern Gedanken, als später einmal den gleichen Beruf wie sein Vater auszuüben. Natürlich ergreift er jede Gelegenheit, sich im kleinen als 'Detektiv' zu erproben. Die Bücher wenden sich an jüngere Leser.

The Boys in the Boat (Young Readers Adaptation): The True Story of an American Team's Epic Journey t

The #1 New York Times bestseller about the Greatest Generation freshly adapted for the next generation. For readers of Unbroken, out of the depths of the Great Depression comes the astonishing tale of nine working-class boys from the American West who at the 1936 Olympics showed the world what true grit really meant.

At the center of the tale is Joe Rantz, a teenager without family or prospects, whose personal quest captures the spirit of his generation-the generation that would prove in the coming years that the Nazis could not prevail over American determination and optimism. This deeply emotional yet easily accessible young readers adaptation of the award-winning #1 New York Times bestseller features never-before-seen photographs, highly visual back matter, and an exclusive new introduction. From the Hardcover edition.
