What drives you to be a Samaritan? Is it the need to help others, or are you responding to a damaged part of yourself? The Listeners follows the stories of those in need, and those that answer their calls. Billie, drinking away her loneliness, dials the Samaritan number expecting little from a bunch of ‘do-gooders’. Tim, lost and desperate, calls in a frantic plea for help. Jackie, a young-man with learning difficulties, phones just to hear a friendly voice. For all of the callers, the most vital thing is to hear that they are cared for, and that they are not alone. The importance of this resonates with each of them in different ways. But can you really save someone from themselves? This is something that Victoria, Paul, and Sarah – all Samaritans with very different reasons for wanting to help – will have to find out the hard way. In The Listeners, first published in 1970, Monica Dickens draws from her own experience as a Samaritan, creating a heart-warming look at the realities of hardship, and salvation.

A new crime series set in the brooding landscape of the Scottish borders from the author of the Celcius Daly series. Not long out of the fast-track training course at Edinburgh's police college, Detective Sergeant Carla Herron is about to be tested to breaking point. She's been called to Deepwell psychiatric hospital in the Scottish borders to interview a patient who has confessed to the murder of one of the hospital's psychotherapists. The confession is vividly detailed, but for a man locked in a secure ward and under 24-hour surveillance, it is also utterly impossible. So why can't the supposedly murdered psychotherapist be contacted? Why are the hospital staff so secretive, so difficult to work with? Why have other Deepwell patients made disturbingly similar confessions over the past year? Against the advice of her superiors, Carla delves deeper into the hospital's past and is plunged into a labyrinth of jealousies, lies and hallucinations. Struggling to separate fact from fantasy, Carla embarks on a chilling trail through the bleak uplands and dark forests of the Scottish borders, every step taking her closer to a final – deadly – reckoning. 'Quinn sets up a Russian doll narrative, with manipulation within manipulation' GUARDIAN. 'Carefully wrought, often lyrical prose, always rich with foreboding' BOOKLIST.

This true story is about a man, who in his lifetime experienced many heartaches. Whiskey was his best friend for many years. He was angry, mean and bitter. That life changed one day and it was if God was giving him another chance to get it right. He enjoyed his newfound life every day. He surrounded himself with family and caring friends. He did whatever he could for everyone. Kids were his favorite people. Hunting, fishing and finishing concrete were his passions. After cancer entered his life, he became a profound teacher. He schooled everyone around him about "no fear". Dying was not something to be feared, but rather to be enjoyed and celebrated right up to the end. You will learn of this man's journey through life and how he handled cancer. Nancy Seriani is a force of nature. If you should find yourself or a loved one facing an unforgiving disease, you need a "Nancy" on your team. Someone protective, strong, loyal and loving. Nancy has faced heartache and loss at the hands of cancer before. She told of the loss of her sister, Nena, in "For The Love of Sister- a siblings story". Now we gain a perspective of the loss of her husband, George. Marches and ribbons do not beat cancer. The best we can do is fight this disease to a draw. Your odds will improve greatly if you find a caregiver like Nancy. She has an iron glove over her velvet hand. - Craig Davis 2006 PBS Transplant Survivor

A great many years ago, Augustus Caesar, then Emperor of Rome, ordered his mighty realm to be taxed; and so, in Judea, it is said, men went to the towns where their families belonged, to be registered for assessment. From Nazareth, a little town in the north of Judea, to Bethlehem, another little but more famous town in the south, there went one Joseph, the carpenter, and his wife Mary, -obscure and poor people, both of them, as the story goes. At Bethlehem they lodged in a stable; for there were many persons in the town, and the tavern was full. Then and there a little boy was born, the son of this Joseph and Mary; they named him JEHOSHUA, a common Hebrew name, which we commonly call Joshua; but, in his case, we pronounce it JESUS. They laid him in the crib of the cattle, which was his first cradle. That was the first Christmas, kept thus in a barn, 1856 years ago. Nobody knows the day or the month; nay, the year itself is not certain. After a while the parents went home to Nazareth, where they had other sons, -James, Joses, Simon, and Judas, -and daughters also; nobody knows how many. There the boy JESUS grew up, and it seems followed the calling of his father; it is said, in special, that he made yokes, ploughs, and other farm-tools. Little is known about his early life and means of education. His outside advantages were, no doubt, small and poor; but he learned to read and write, and it seems became familiar with the chief religious books of his nation, which are still preserved in the Old Testamen

Twenty-five thousand years ago, an alien race quietly touched Earth, harvesting a rare mineral with the power to create limitless energy. One young scientist, Apro, left behind a silver cube coded with knowledge, ethics, and secrets far beyond human comprehension. Forced to abandon it deep in the forests of Brazil, the cube vanished into myth... until now. In 2024, a construction crew unearths the untouched artifact. Untarnished. Pulsing. Waiting. Dr. Isabela Torres and her team soon realize it is no relic-it is alive with intelligence. Structured light, frequencies, and data patterns reveal a message hidden in holographic memory: humanity's beginnings may not have been organic but engineered. Enter APOX, a secret coalition of the world's top scientists and historians, tasked with unlocking alien mysteries. Within their underground facility, the cube begins to awaken. What it reveals is both awe-inspiring and terrifying warning of a dormant threat rising again, and a countdown already in motion. Part science fiction, part archaeological thriller, The Listeners is a breathtaking exploration of first contact, human origins, and the secrets our planet was never meant to keep.

A cultural and literary history of domestic reading aloud "Listening," a recent Audible advertising campaign proclaimed, "is the new reading." But this is no new phenomenon. In the nineteenth century, reading aloud was one of the most popular evening entertainments and one of the primary ways people consumed fiction. In Willful Listeners, Kate Nesbit considers the Victorian practice of reading aloud from the perspective of listeners—especially the rowdy and disobedient ones. A counternarrative to more nostalgic portraits, this book spotlights fiction's unruly audience: tired laborers who zone out while listening to the Bible, women who fall asleep to their husbands' Shakespeare delivery, and children who eavesdrop on their parents reading the newspaper's sex scandals. Nesbit analyzes the ritual of reading aloud not merely as an idealized form of domestic intimacy or a method of moral improvement but rather as a praxis enmeshed in the period's contentious politics of attention. These scenes are about more than reading and reading aloud, Nesbit argues—they speak to attention's ties to social hierarchy. These are moments that call into question assumptions about who needs to pay attention to whom, about whose voices were deemed worth a listen, and whose voices required amplification. This is a history of both the audiobook and its audience before sound recording.
