Summary:

Working for Demetrious is like running headfirst into a brick wall. Repeatedly. They could never be friends, but that doesn't mean the pirate can't teach Edward something before he finds a way to escape. He has to find a way back home. Back to Kalypso. Back to her. Whatever it takes, whatever evils he has to commit, Edward is coming home. He is going to hold Mercedes in his arms again, and this time he will never leave.

Big brother is out of the picture, and that spells opportunity. There will never be a better time for Christian to win over his father. Edward is finally gone. This time maybe for good. Who would have thought that Holston Zakarian had the stones to sacrifice one of his own children to save face? Christian vows to remember the lesson. The next one getting led to the slaughter won't be him.

Mercedes is a ticking time bomb, and the clock is running down. Edward is the love of her life. There is no scenario where Mercedes wouldn't choose him above everything else. Now he is gone again. She knows Edward hasn't been captured by pirates. He was offered to them like a sacrificial goat in exchange for additional support for the war effort. She doesn't care about any of that. All Mercedes wants is Edward, and she'll burn everything to ashes if that's what it takes to find him.

Title: Proclaiming the Parables: Preaching and Teaching the Kingdom of God

Author: Thomas G. Long

Narrator: George W. Sarris

Format: Unabridged

Length: 22:33:08

Language: English

Release date: 05-14-24

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity, Biblical Studies

Summary:

In Proclaiming the Parables, noted preacher and scholar Thomas G. Long moves away from past treatment of the parables primarily as literary devices and moves toward an emphasis on their theological impact as pointers to the kingdom of God. While the parables are indeed significant poetic literary creations that have enchanted readers over the centuries, their main power, he claims, lies in their disclosure of the kingdom of God, which is not merely an idea, nor even just a complex symbol with generative and centrifugal force, but an event: the inbreaking of the life of God into human history and experience.

Long sees parables not merely as creative figures of speech but as GPS devices taking hearers to those places where the event of God is happening all around us. This book provides two chapters for each synoptic Gospel. Two introductory chapters additionally situate this book in the history and theology of the parables' interpretation and address questions that preachers have about preaching the parables. Preachers who consult this volume will be informed about each major parable, guided through the controversies regarding interpretation, and stimulated to preach on the parable in fresh, faithful, and creative ways.

Title: What Makes This Book So Great: Re-Reading the Classics of Science Fiction and Fantasy

Author: Jo Walton

Narrator: Nicole Poole

Format: Unabridged

Length: 12:23:45

Language: English

Release date: 05-14-24

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Literary Criticism

Summary:

As any fan of Jo Walton's Among Others might guess, Walton is both an inveterate reader of SF and fantasy, and a chronic rereader of books. In 2008, then-new science fiction mega-site Tor.com asked Walton to blog regularly about her rereading-about all kinds of older fantasy and SF, ranging from acknowledged classics, to guilty pleasures, to forgotten oddities and gems. These posts have consistently been among the most popular features of Tor.com. Now this volume presents a selection of the best of them, ranging from short essays to long reassessments of some of the field's most ambitious series.

Among Walton's many subjects here are the Zones of Thought novels of Vernor Vinge; the question of what genre readers mean by 'mainstream'; the underappreciated SF adventures of C. J. Cherryh; the field's many approaches to time travel; the masterful science fiction of Samuel R. Delany; Salman Rushdie's Midnight's Children; the early Hainish novels of Ursula K. Le Guin; and a Robert A. Heinlein novel you have most certainly never read.

Over 130 essays in all, What Makes This Book So Great is a must-listen, engaging collection of provocative, opinionated thoughts about past and present-day fantasy and science fiction, from one of our best writers.

Title: At the Table: The Chef's Guide to Advocacy

Author: Katherine Miller

Narrator: Chelsea Stephens

Format: Unabridged

Length: 05:15:31

Language: English

Release date: 05-14-24

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Business & Economics, Cooking, Non-Fiction, Politics, Social Science, Public Policy, Business Development

Summary:

When Katherine Miller was first asked to train chefs to be advocates, she thought the idea was ludicrous. But she quickly learned that chefs and other leaders in the restaurant industry are some of the most powerful forces for change in our troubled food system. Chefs are leading hunger relief efforts, supporting local farmers, fighting food waste, confronting racism and sexism in the industry, and much more.

In At the Table, Miller shares the essential techniques she developed for the James Beard Foundation's Chefs Boot Camp for Policy and Change. Listeners will learn how to focus their philanthropic efforts; pinpoint their audience and develop their argument; recruit allies and support action; and maybe most importantly, grab people's attention in a crowded media landscape.

Miller also shares the moving stories of chefs who used these skills to create lasting change. Chefs from around the country pushed Congress to provide financial relief to the restaurant industry at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.

At the Table is filled with inspiration for anyone who has ever wanted to make a difference outside the four walls of their restaurant.
