As a Jewish woman who had fled from the Nazis, Jella was determined to restore a sense of childhood to the young people who had only known conflict and violence. Despite constant obstacles, Jella persevered, and with the help of publishers and children from around the world, she amassed an extraordinary collection of 4,000 children’s books in pursuit of her mission to promote peace. The roving literary collection would eventually find a home as the International Youth Library in Munich, now with over 600,000 items, the largest collection of children’s books and materials in the world.   Jella Lepman and Her Library of Dreams is a thrilling and heartfelt exploration of one woman’s extraordinary belief in the power of books to transform young lives. Perfect for readers who enjoy biography, true adventure nonfiction, and empowering stories of women in history, this makes an outstanding addition to classroom and home libraries.

Title: The Monarch Butterfly Migration: Its Rise and Fall Author: Monika Maeckle Narrator: Kate Coventry Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 15 minutes Release date: November 19, 2024 Genres: Animals & Nature Publisher's Summary: Each fall, millions of monarch butterflies migrate from Canada to Mexico. The monarch migration is a demonstration of nature's ingenuity, but the delicate creatures face many perils, and the number of migrating monarchs is declining sharply. This book weaves natural history, science, and personal experience to explore the rise and fall of one of nature's most spectacular phenomena. While monarch butterflies have been migrating for centuries, they seized public attention in 1976 when a National Geographic magazine cover story featured the 'discovery' of their roosting sites in Mexico. The revelations put a spotlight on the insects and inspired the creation of butterfly sanctuaries in Mexico as well as efforts to protect them. Almost forty years later, many believe that monarch butterflies are in danger of extinction. Journalist and butterfly advocate Monika Maeckle delves into the rich history and current plight of the monarch butterfly. Maeckle offers unique insights on the butterflies as well as a nuanced portrait of the community of scientists, enthusiasts, and 'flutterati' who have emerged to support the monarchs. The Monarch Butterfly Migration focuses a wider lens on the effects of climate change and the tensions between advocacy and scientific accuracy. This book reminds us to notice the natural wonders in our own backyards.

Title: Pursuing Success God’s Way: A Practical Guide to Hustle with Heart Author: Erin Harrigan Narrator: Erin Harrigan Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 38 minutes Release date: October 16, 2024 Genres: Counseling & Inspirational Publisher's Summary: The world is noisy. Everywhere we turn we see what is expected of us, including in business. Messages about powerful women entrepreneurs bombard us: Boss Babe! Supermom! Mom Boss! We are taught to envision a life of prosperity, push ourselves to succeed, do whatever it takes, and strive for recognition. Those channels promise success and prosperity, yet what happens when the promise is unfulfilled? Not because we didn't succeed, but in the midst of our success. When I found myself hitting this successful-yet-something-was-missing wall, I was left feeling like there must be something wrong with me. Was I not focused enough? Did I not want "it" badly enough? Was I not willing to work hard enough? Was I not cut out to be an entrepreneur? These lies are just what the enemy wants us to believe, as he seeks to distract us from God's purpose by planting seeds of discouragement, doubt, and discontent in our minds. When some major setbacks led me to seek answers, I encountered Jesus. And that changed everything I knew about business. This audio book is for you if any of these resonate with you: •You are a successful entrepreneur (even if you believe you were, but aren't now), who feels she's lost her joy for the business •You feel like you're chasing the money but losing fulfillment, and you wonder what to do next •You're formerly of the corporate world, now translating all that drive, discipline, competitive edge, and resilience into your own business in search of hope and freedom •You seek to keep your relationship with Christ in the forefront as you build a business in the midst of drivers and strivers all around you. I wrote this audiobook to bring hope to women like you and me, who desire to make an impact for God's glory but aren't sure if it's possible (or even appropriate) to bridge faith and business. God gave us businesses to live out His purpose for us and to steward wisely. The only way to do this is with Him at the center, and that's how we Hustle with Heart.

Title: [French] - La lettre écarlate Author: Nathaniel Hawthorne Narrator: Julien Lafargue Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 15 minutes Release date: September 17, 2024 Genres: The Americas Publisher's Summary: Le roman de Hawthorne nous plonge dans le cœur de la société puritaine du XVIIe siècle, une communauté où la morale religieuse règne en maître et où toute déviation est sévèrement punie. Hester Prynne, en étant condamnée à porter la lettre écarlate, devient l'incarnation du péché et de la honte. Cette lettre, symbole visible de sa transgression, la marque à vie et l'exclut de la communauté. Au-delà de la simple histoire d'adultère, La Lettre Écarlate explore plusieurs thèmes majeurs : L'hypocrisie de la société puritaine : Sous l'apparence d'une communauté vertueuse, les habitants de Boston se révèlent cruels et intolérants. Ils condamnent Hester avec ferveur, tout en cachant leurs propres faiblesses et péchés. La culpabilité et la rédemption : Les personnages principaux, Hester, Dimmesdale et Chillingworth, sont tous rongés par la culpabilité. Chacun à sa manière, ils cherchent une forme de rédemption, mais les chemins qu'ils empruntent sont tortueux et douloureux. La nature du péché et du pardon : Hawthorne interroge la notion de péché et les limites du pardon. Est-il possible de se racheter après avoir commis une faute grave ? La société puritaine offre une réponse sans appel, mais Hester et Dimmesdale nous montrent que la rédemption peut parfois venir de l'intérieur. Le rôle de la femme dans la société : Hester Prynne est une figure emblématique de la femme révoltée contre les normes sociales. Malgré la souffrance qu'elle endure, elle développe une force intérieure remarquable et devient une figure maternelle et protectrice pour sa fille Pearl.
