We all want to be able to exercise control of our own lives so that we can live to the best of our ability and have all the things we want. By being in control, we stand a much better chance of success, and it all starts with a set of principles that change the way we think and act. Inside this audiobook, Mentalism: The Ultimate Guide to Learn The Basic Principles to Control Your Thoughts and Life, we examine these principles in detail.

Reimagining Adoption examines beliefs, practices, and scripture to attune to the needs of vulnerable children and their families and align with Christian values. It examines the historical adoption practices, reviews current practices, and proposes revisions. More importantly, it lifts up the words and lived experience of adult adoptees - the true experts on adoption - and braids them with the insights of adoptive families to craft a new adoption paradigm.

Gulliver's Travels is an adventure story (in reality, a misadventure story) involving several voyages of Lemuel Gulliver, a ship's surgeon, who, because of a series of mishaps en route to recognized ports, ends up, instead, on several unknown islands living with people and animals of unusual sizes, behaviors, and philosophies, but who, after each adventure, is somehow able to return to his home in England where he recovers from these unusual experiences and then sets out again on a new voyage.

Despite running his own zoo, Zak Bates considers himself pretty normal for a 13-year-old. Visited by Ra-Kit, a scruffy feline with some serious catnip issues, he’s ill-prepared for the life-or-death assignment that follows. With the weight of the world on his shoulders, Zak must represent the animal kingdom at a United Nations Conference on Global Warming, convince world government to stop poisoning the planet, broker interspecies peace, and diffuse an impending, bloody rebellion - just a bit harder than algebra!

In Zanesville, Ohio, a dangerous menagerie has escaped from a private preserve, and the situation threatens to spiral out of control.

Though fraught with peril, the breakout might be a chance to mend the globe.

Als Gullivers Reisen 1726 erschien, wurde es schnell zum Jugendbuchklassiker. Doch Jonathan Swift schrieb seine Geschichte mit einer derart scharfen Feder, dass auch Erwachsene sie durchaus mit Gewinn lesen können. "Es birgt scharfsinnige Gesellschaftsbeobachtungen und Psychogramme, entlarvt den korrupten, geld- und machtgeilen, selbstsüchtigen, bequemen Zivilisationsmenschen, den wir kennen und hassen, auch und vielleicht besonders in uns selbst" (FAZ). In seiner Geschichte erzählt Swift von Gulliver, der auf einem Schiff anheuert und bald als Arzt an Bord tätig ist.
