Title: Shawl

Author: Cynthia Ozick

Narrator: Yelena Shmulenson

Format: Unabridged

Length: 02:04:00

Language: English

Release date: 11-12-08

Publisher: HighBridge Company

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Short Stories, Literary Fiction

Summary:

Two award-winning works of fiction by one of America's finest writers, together in one collection.

In 'The Shawl,' a woman named Rosa Lublin watches a concentration camp guard murder her daughter. In 'Rosa,' that same woman appears thirty years later, 'a mad woman and a scavenger' in a Miami hotel. She has no life in the present because her past will never end. In both stories, there is a shawl-a shawl that can sustain a starving child, inadvertently destroy her, or magically conjure her back to life.

Both stories were originally published in the New Yorker in the 1980s; each was included in the annual Best American Short Stories and awarded First Prize in the annual O. Henry Prize Stories collection. Each succeeds in imagining the unimaginable: the horror of the Holocaust and the unfillable emptiness of its aftermath. Fiercely immediate, complex, and unforgettable, each is a masterwork by a writer the New York Times hailed as 'the most accomplished and graceful literary stylist of our time.'

Title: Short Life of Jonathan Edwards

Author: George M. Marsden

Narrator: Grover Gardner

Format: Unabridged

Length: 05:00:00

Language: English

Release date: 11-01-08

Publisher: Christianaudio.com

Genres: Biography & Memoir, Religious & Inspirational

Summary:

Jonathan Edwards is one of the most extraordinary figures in American history. Arguably the most brilliant theologian ever born on American soil, Edwards (17031758) was also a pastor, a renowned preacher, a missionary to the Native Americans, a biographer, a college president, a philosopher, a loving husband, and the father of eleven children. George M. Marsden widely acclaimed for his magisterial large study of Edwards has now written a new, shorter biography of this many-sided, remarkable man. A Short Life of Jonathan Edwards is not an abridgment of Marsdens earlier award-winning study but is instead a completely new narrative based on his extensive research. The result is a concise, fresh retelling of the Edwards story, rich in scholarship yet compelling and readable for a much wider audience, including students.

Summary:

Whats the secret to building and maintaining wealth?

Rich is a Religion offers an unprecedented and detailed look at the timeless secrets to building and maintaining wealth. It's a philosophy and behavior that comes before picking out a stock or fund. It is, in bestselling author Mark Stevens' words, 'A means of thinking and behaving ...a financial religion'.

Both a revelation and a guide, Rich Is a Religion offers you a dramatically different view of how wealth is created and preserved by that enviable breed of people - famous and obscure - who truly have it. These individuals have a different way of seeing the world, in which their philosophy, principles, and belief system allows them to leverage opportunities that many others tend to miss. Stevens illuminates this previously untold approach and reveals why it works. Along the way, he provides insights into the dynamics of getting and staying rich and how this process can make all the difference between doing well financially and creating true wealth.

The author also examines how the wealthy use money as an instrument of independence, confidence, stability, and enduring value as opposed to simply the temporal rewards of luxury.

Filled with engaging anecdotes and advice from real millionaires, Rich Is a Religion provides you with a powerful new way of thinking and living. Its accessible style will help you change your mindset and thought process as you prepare to become and remain wealthy - and live a rich and independent life.

Title: Women of Brewster Place

Author: Gloria Naylor

Narrator: Tonya Pinkins

Format: Abridged

Length: 03:07:55

Language: English

Release date: 09-17-08

Publisher: Penguin Audio

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Short Stories, Black Literature

Summary:

The National Book Award-winning novel—and contemporary classic—that launched the brilliant career of Gloria Naylor, now with a foreword by Tayari Jones

“[A] shrewd and lyrical portrayal of many of the realities of black life . . . Naylor bravely risks sentimentality and melodrama to write her compassion and outrage large, and she pulls it off triumphantly.” —The New York Times Book Review

“Brims with inventiveness—and relevance.” —NPR's Fresh Air

In her heralded first novel, Gloria Naylor weaves together the stories of seven women living in Brewster Place, a bleak-inner city sanctuary, creating a powerful, moving portrait of the strengths, struggles, and hopes of black women in America. Vulnerable and resilient, openhanded and openhearted, these women forge their lives in a place that in turn threatens and protects—a common prison and a shared home. Naylor renders both loving and painful human experiences with simple eloquence and uncommon intuition in this touching and unforgettable read.
