On the 25th August 1895, Ernest Alfred Hall was born into a pioneering Australianfamily that lived on a 313-acre property called 'Cloverdale' nearthe hamlet of Beech Forest, south of the Otway Ranges, some 200 kilometres south west of Melbourne, Victoria. As achild, it seemed he would be destined for the life of a farmer in a country that was just realising its independence through Federation, yet his path was to be diverted by the cataclysmic events that befellEurope and the British Empire.

So it was, that one month short of his 20th birthday, Ernest caught the train to Melbourne and enlisted in the Australian Imperial Force. At only 5' 3' he was never going to be the biggest soldier in the army, but as his father said to him, 'It's not the size of the dog in the fight, son, but the size of the fight in the dog.'

Like so many, Ernest Hall embarked for the war to end all wars. Unlike so many,his letters and records survived. This is his story.

Title: Israel and the Church: An Israeli Examines God's Unfolding Plans for His Chosen Peoples

Author: Amir Tsarfati

Narrator: Amir Tsarfati

Format: Unabridged

Length: 9:27:02

Language: English

Release date: 04-06-21

Publisher: ONE Audiobooks

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity, Judaism, Biblical Studies

Summary:

As the day of the Lord rapidly draws near, we must appreciate God’s plans for all His people

To truly grasp Bible prophecy, we must first understand how God’s promises to Israel complement His vision for the church. While some believe God has forsaken Israel for the church, this goes against the nature of the faithful Lord we find in Scripture.

 

In his latest book, native Israeli and bestselling author Amir Tsarfati makes clear what the Bible says about God’s unique master plans for His two chosen groups, Israel and the church. Amir gets to the heart of key questions, such as…

- Do the promises God made to the Old Testament nation of Israel still apply to the Jewish people today?

- Has God replaced rebellious Israel with the church?

- Now that the church exists, does Israel possess a distinct role in the present age?

- How are current events in Israel relevant to the church?

- What should the church’s attitude be toward Israel?

Israel and the Church provides a fascinating look at all that God has prepared for His two peoples—and why it’s so relevant to us today!

Title: Why We Are Restless: On the Modern Quest for Contentment

Author: Benjamin Storey, Jenna Silber Storey

Narrator: Laurel Lefkow

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6:35:32

Language: English

Release date: 04-06-21

Publisher: Princeton University Press

Genres: History, Non-Fiction, Europe, Philosophy

Summary:

This audiobook narrated by Laurel Lefkow reflects on how our pursuit of happiness makes us unhappy

We live in an age of unprecedented prosperity, yet everywhere we see signs that our pursuit of happiness has proven fruitless. Dissatisfied, we seek change for the sake of changeeven if it means undermining the foundations of our common life. In Why We Are Restless, Benjamin and Jenna Storey offer a profound and beautiful reflection on the roots of this malaise and examine how we might begin to cure ourselves.

Drawing on the insights of Montaigne, Pascal, Rousseau, and Tocqueville, Why We Are Restless explores the modern vision of happiness that leads us on, and the disquiet that follows it like a lengthening shadow. In the sixteenth century, Montaigne articulated an original vision of human life that inspired people to see themselves as individuals dedicated to seeking contentment in the here and now, but Pascal argued that we cannot find happiness through pleasant self-seeking, only anguished God-seeking. Rousseau later tried and failed to rescue Montaignes worldliness from Pascals attack. Steeped in these debates, Tocqueville visited the United States in 1831 and, observing a people restless in the midst of their well-being, discovered what happens when an entire nation seeks worldly contentmentand finds mostly discontent.

Arguing that the philosophy we have inherited, despite pretending to let us live as we please, produces remarkably homogenous and unhappy lives, Why We Are Restless makes the case that finding true contentment requires rethinking our most basic assumptions about happiness.

Title: Finding Freedom in the Lost Kitchen

Language: English

Release date: 04-06-21

Publisher: Hachette Book Group USA

Summary:

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

From Erin French, owner and chef of the critically acclaimed The Lost Kitchen, comes a life-affirming memoir about survival, renewal and the pleasure of bringing joy to people through food.

Erin French grew up barefoot on a farm, fell in love with food as a teenager working the line at her dad’s diner and found her calling as a professional chef at her tiny restaurant The Lost Kitchen, tucked into a 19th-century mill—now a world-renowned dining destination.

In Finding Freedom in the Lost Kitchen, Erin tells her story of multiple rock-bottoms, from medical student to pregnant teen, of survival as a jobless single mother, of pills that promised release but delivered addiction, of a man who seemed to offer salvation but ripped away her very sense of self. And of her son who became her guiding light as she slowly rebuilt her personal and culinary life around the solace she found in food—as a source of comfort, a sense of place, as a way of creating community and making something of herself, despite seemingly impossible odds.

Set against the backdrop of rural Maine and its lushly intense, bountiful seasons, Erin French’s rollercoaster memoir reveals struggles that have taken every ounce of her strength to overcome, and the passion and courage behind the fairytale success of The Lost Kitchen.

Title: How to Be Animal: A New History of What It Means to Be Human

Author: Melanie Challenger

Narrator: Melanie Challenger

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7:26:01

Language: English

Release date: 03-23-21

Publisher: Allen Lane Canada

Genres: Non-Fiction, Philosophy

Summary:

What makes us human, and why are we so sure we're different from other animals?

Humans are the most inquisitive, emotional, imaginative, aggressive, and baffling animals on the planet. But how well do we really know ourselves? How to Be Animal rewrites the remarkable human story and argues that at the heart of our psychology is a profound struggle with being animal.

Most of our effects on the planet are the consequences of technological improvements and advances in our understanding of natural mechanisms. But why did this cognitive and technological edge come about in the first place and what kind of being has it made us? In How to Be Animal, Challenger brilliantly argues that this dizzying trajectory is the result of a singular characteristic of our species: the struggle with being an animal.

Using a combination of memoir, historical texts, interweaving interviews and cultural and environmental history, How to Be Animal is lively and thought-provoking, bursting with ideas. This is a book for anyone who has ever contemplated what humans are and what makes our species so simultaneously brilliant and awful. Even more so, it is a book that asks tantalizing philosophical questions, such as whether and how human life matters.

How to Be Animal is a tough-minded but ultimately sympathetic portrait of humanity. It exposes human beings as extraordinary animals defined by a profound struggle. In the third millennium, the way humans respond to being an animal among animals is the greatest and most inspiring challenge we face.

Title: Delicious: The Evolution of Flavor and How It Made Us Human

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8:03:34

Language: English

Release date: 03-23-21

Publisher: Princeton University Press

Genres: Cooking, Non-Fiction, Science & Technology, Biology & Chemistry

Summary:

This delightful audiobook narrated by Russell Bentley offers a savory account of how the pursuit of delicious foods shaped human evolution

Nature, it has been said, invites us to eat by appetite and rewards by flavor. But what exactly are flavors? Why are some so pleasing while others are not? Delicious is a supremely entertaining foray into the heart of such questions.

With generous helpings of warmth and wit, Rob Dunn and Monica Sanchez offer bold new perspectives on why food is enjoyable and how the pursuit of delicious flavors has guided the course of human history. They consider the role that flavor may have played in the invention of the first tools, the extinction of giant mammals, the evolution of the worlds most delicious and fatty fruits, the creation of beer, and our own sociality. Along the way, you will learn about the taste receptors you didn't even know you had, the best way to ferment a mastodon, the relationship between Paleolithic art and cheese, and much more.

Blending irresistible storytelling with the latest science, Delicious is a deep history of flavor that will transform the way you think about human evolution and the gustatory pleasures of the foods we eat.

Title: His Mighty Strength: Walk Daily in the Same Power that Raised Jesus from the Dead

Author: Randy Frazee

Narrator: Mark Smeby

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4:12:37

Language: English

Release date: 03-16-21

Publisher: Thomas Nelson

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity, Counseling & Inspirational

Summary:

With warmth and biblical insight, Frazee shows us how to

- rely on the power of the Holy Spirit just as Jesus did;

- respond to God’s voice in decisions big and small;

- raise our expectations for how God’s power can work through us; and

- break free of addictions, habits, and destructive thoughts that hold us back.

The Bible promises us more than inspiration. More than influence. The Bible promises us access to the same power that raised Jesus from the dead. So what keeps us from drawing on that incredible resurrection power in our daily lives?

In His Mighty Strength, popular pastor and author Randy Frazee explores Jesus’ time on earth to uncover the amazing source of his strength. Jesus continually sought direction from the Father and found the power to live the Father’s will through the Holy Spirit. He said yes to God every day of his earthly life—and we can too.

His Mighty Strength reminds us that Jesus’ resurrection power is not wishful thinking or a poetic metaphor. It’s a real source of strength that we have access to right now. And when we embrace God’s offering, our lives will never be the same.

“This is not a watered-down self-help book—this is a powerful Gospel-centered guide to walking in the fullness of Christ. I challenge you to read this amazing book and accept the glorious gift of strength from Christ that enables us to live the abundant life God has promised us!” —Francesca Battistelli, Grammy Award–winning singer-songwriter

Title: Be Kind, Be Calm, Be Safe: Four Weeks that Shaped a Pandemic

Author: Bonnie Henry, Lynn Henry

Narrator: Dawn Harvey, Erin Moon

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6:57:24

Language: English

Release date: 03-09-21

Publisher: Allen Lane Canada

Genres: Biography & Memoir, Non-Fiction, Science & Technology, Medicine, Social Science, History & Culture

Summary:

NATIONAL BESTSELLER

From the BC doctor who has become a household name for leading the response to the pandemic, a personal account of the first weeks of COVID, for readers of Sam Nutt's Damned Nations and James Maskalyk's Life on the Ground Floor.

Dr. Bonnie Henry has been called 'one of the most effective public health figures in the world' by The New York Times. She has been called 'a calming voice in a sea of coronavirus madness,' and 'our hero' in national newspapers. But in the waning days of 2019, when the first rumours of a strange respiratory ailment in Wuhan, China began to trickle into her office in British Columbia, these accolades lay in a barely imaginable future.

Only weeks later, the whole world would look back on the previous year with the kind of nostalgia usually reserved for the distant past. With a staggering suddenness, our livelihoods, our closest relationships, our habits and our homes had all been transformed.

In a moment when half-truths threatened to drown out the truth, when recklessness all too often exposed those around us to very real danger, and when it was difficult to tell paranoia from healthy respect for an invisible threat, Dr. Henry's transparency, humility, and humanity became a beacon for millions of Canadians.

And her trademark enjoinder to be kind, be calm, and be safe became words for us all to live by.

Coincidentally, Dr. Henry's sister, Lynn, arrived in BC for a long-planned visit on March 12, just as the virus revealed itself as a pandemic. For the four ensuing weeks, Lynn had rare insight into the whirlwind of Bonnie's daily life, with its moments of agony and gravity as well as its occasional episodes of levity and grace. Both a global story and a family story, Be Kind, Be Calm, Be Safe combines Lynn's observations and knowledge of Bonnie's personal and professional background with Bonnie's recollections of how and why decisions were made, to tell in a vivid way the dramatic tale of the four weeks that changed all our lives.

Be Kind, Be Calm, Be Safe is about communication, leadership, and public trust; about the balance between politics and policy; and, at heart, about what and who we value, as individuals and a society.

The authors' advance from the publisher has been donated to charities with a focus on alleviating communities hit particularly hard by the pandemic: True North Aid with its Covid-19 response in Northern Indigenous communities, and First Book Canada, with its focus on reading and literacy for underserved, marginalized youth.
