  Moonlight Elk - One Woman's Hunt...

  Christie Green learned to hunt in order to complement the food she grew in her garden. As an act of practical agency this fulfilled her needs, yet a restlessness stirred within. She longed for a life defined by something deeper than cultural norms. Could she travel beyond the supposed domain of women and venture into the wild, where men were said to prevail? 
   
   
   
  Here, hunting in the wild, the moon cycles through her, rising and falling, whispering messages from the dark side. Rather than circle the hot insistence of a masculine sun, Green begins to attune to the more elusive, mysterious murmuration of the moon. Animals and dreams, lunar partners, choreograph Green through time and space. She longs to dream, toil, live, and love at the edges of the fertile ecotones where she can withdraw inward, retreat like an animal into hiding, and then come into full, radiant view on her own terms. Green sheds the burdens of her domestic self and witnesses the animals defying reason as they walk her into their world, ambling her along, straddling night and day, waking and sleeping. Through them, definitions of gender dissolve and boundaries blur. In the process, Green eclipses western society's definitions of her as a woman, mother, lover, and entrepreneur, courageously birthing her own independence through a profound connection to the animals and the places they call home.

  In this accessible and well-documented study, philosopher Douglas Groothuis introduces listeners to Pascal's life as well as the breadth of his intellectual pursuits, including his contributions to mathematics, science, ethics, and theology. Groothuis overviews the key points of Pascal's Pensées, which captures his thoughts about God, humanity, and Jesus Christ. Listeners will also explore Pascal's views on a range of topics, including culture, politics, Islam, and miracles. 
   
   
   
  Often quoted and often misunderstood, Pascal is a complex figure whose writings have charmed, puzzled, and inspired readers across the centuries. With guidance from a leading Christian thinker and longtime student of Pascal, Beyond the Wager takes you on a journey to discover the riches Pascal has to offer today.

  Lucius D Clay - An American Life

  A military biography of the American soldier and statesman who managed the WWII Lend-Lease program and acted as governor of postwar Germany.During World War II, President Roosevelt called upon Lucius D. Clay to run military procurement. It took a man of his logistical genius to oversee the requirements of an eight-million-man army. Clay set priorities, negotiated contracts, monitored production, and coordinated military Lend-Lease—all without a breath of scandal.In 1945, Clay was called upon once again to act as military governor of a decimated Germany. He dealt with everything from de-Nazification to quarrelsome allies, from feeding a starving people to processing vast numbers of homeless and displaced. Above all, he had to convince a doubting American public and a hostile State Department that German recovery was essential to the stability of Europe.Clay went on to play key roles in business and politics, advising presidents of both parties. He helped run Eisenhower's 1952 campaign, led the federal highway program, raised the ransom money for the Bay of Pigs prisoners, and boosted morale in Germany as the Berlin Wall was built. In honor of their debt to him, the Berliners placed a simple stone tablet at his West Point grave: Wir Danken Dem Bewahrer Unserer Freiheit—We Thank the Defender of Our Freedom.

  Beyond the Midnight Express: The Real Story 
  From American Dream to Turkish Nightmare – A Harrowing True Story of Survival and Escape 
  In 1970, Billy Hayes was a young American with dreams of adventure who made one fateful decision that would change his life forever. Attempting to smuggle hashish from Istanbul back to America, Billy was caught at the airport and thrown into the brutal Turkish prison system. What began as a four-year sentence suddenly became a thirty-year nightmare when Turkey's Supreme Court changed his charges. 
  This is the complete, unvarnished true story behind the famous book and controversial film "Midnight Express" – told here with unprecedented accuracy and detail. Follow Billy's incredible journey from his first successful smuggling runs to his dramatic arrest, his descent into the hellish world of Turkish prisons, and his desperate attempts at survival in a foreign land where he didn't speak the language. 
  Witness his transfer to the island prison of Imralı, surrounded by treacherous seas that served as the ultimate security system. Experience the psychological torture, the violence, the loss of hope, and the tragic death of his loyal friend Patrick, who died trying to help him escape. 
  But this story doesn't end in despair. On a stormy October night in 1975, Billy executed one of the most daring prison escapes in modern history – crossing dangerous waters in a small wooden boat, navigating hostile borders, and ultimately reaching freedom after five years of captivity. 
  More than just an escape story, this is a raw examination of the human spirit under extreme duress, the price of poor decisions, and the controversial aftermath of fame that followed Billy's return to America.
