  What if your pursuit of prestige revealed the ridiculousness of your soul? 
  In Uncle’s Dream, Fyodor Dostoevsky offers a wickedly funny story about pride, pretension, and the desperation to maintain appearances. A mother’s ambitious matchmaking plan spirals into chaos when her target—an elderly and confused prince—doesn’t quite follow the script. 
  This modern translation captures Dostoevsky’s sharp humor and social satire, making it perfect for today’s listeners who appreciate clever character drama, rich dialogue, and biting commentary on status and society. 
  What You’ll Hear in This Adaptation: 
  - A darkly comic tale of marriage, social climbing, and provincial absurdity 
  - A vibrant cast of schemers, dreamers, and fools 
  - A listener-friendly version of Dostoevsky’s underrated masterpiece 
  - A light yet insightful satire on the illusions of nobility and ambition 
  Short, clever, and surprisingly relevant, Uncle’s Dream is a must-listen for fans of classic literature with a satirical twist.

  There is one point that contemporary psychology and centuries old Eastern Buddhist and Taoist teachings agree on: if you wish to experience less suffering, you must change the way you see yourself. But what if the change that is needed is to let go of our selves entirely? What does this mean for those of us living in an increasingly self-obsessed and individualistic society? 
   
   
   
  In this compassionate and galvanizing book, Dr. Tom Davies gently invites you to consider the basic elements that define who you are. 
   
   
   
  ● In Part One, get to know your self. From the ground up, discover what the self truly is, how it links to identity, and how self-obsession is central to the human condition and the psychological pain that each of us experience. 
   
   
   
  ● In Part Two, overcome self-obsession. Free yourself from your psychological prison, and learn how to live the peaceful and joyful life that you deserve. 
   
   
   
  With a fresh and lucid style, Dr. Tom Davies combines his knowledge of the medical, psychological, and the philosophical to bring you real solutions to life's most challenging problems.

  Ur was a considerable Sumerian city-state in old Mesopotamia, situated near modern-day "Tell el-Muqayyar" in the Dhi Qar Governorate in southern Iraq. Ur was formerly a seaside city on the Persian Gulf, near the mouth of the Euphrates, but the shoreline has modified, and the city is now well inland, on the south bank of the Euphrates, sixteen kilometers (about 9.9 miles) from Nasiriyah in modern-day Iraq. 
  The city stemmed from the Ubaid period around 3800 BC, and it initially appears in written history as a city-state in the 26th century BC, with Mesannepada as its first noted king. 
  In this guide, you will be able to satisfy your curiosity about this ancient location.

  NOW A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!Read by the author.When was the last time you awakened to a swirl of anxious, out-of-control thoughts?Perhaps you were overwhelmed with the weight of worry, the fear of failing, or the grip of guilt. The way we think directly impacts our joy and peace. In Tame Your Thoughts, Max Lucado provides three biblical and practical tools to renew your mind and transform your life. 
  Our thoughts have consequences. Most people would agree that positive thoughts generate positive actions. Negative thoughts activate negative behavior. But do we understand that we can manage our lives by managing our thoughts? Not only does neuroscience back this concept, but the idea is also embedded throughout Scripture. "Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind" (Rom.12:2 esv). Tame your thoughts and transform your life! 
  In Tame Your Thoughts, bestselling author and pastor Max Lucado explores three key thought management tools and then applies them to the most common thought problems: anxiety, guilt, rejection, and others. God loves us too much to let us lead a life marked by poor thinking. He made our brains; he can retrain our brains. God has not left us alone in this battle of the mind.Stuck in your head? Hounded by regrets? Weighed down by worry? Change is possible! The thoughts that have characterized your past need not characterize the rest of your life. You will learn to:Take thoughts captiveTest each message against the truth of ScriptureInterrupt poisonous thought threadsThink and act like Jesus If God can resurrect the dead, can he not resurrect hope? Defy depression? Clarify confusion? Silence shame? Destroy doubt? Banish bitterness?Take God at his word. "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind" (2 Tim. 1:7 nkjv, emphasis added). With God as their helper, you will discover a new way of thinking and a better way of living. A new person will begin to emerge.We can tame each thought, friends. 
  Figures, reflection questions, and a scripture database can be found in the audiobook companion PDF download.

  Things are getting complicated for the golden boy jock. 
  Up until last week, everything in life had come easily for the high school quarterback-- football, girls, friends. So what if he was a little rough on Kevin, the gay guy in his class? Isn’t every jock supposed to pick on “queers”? 
  Now Wade is learning his lesson the hard way. Ever since Kevin got his hands on that video, Wade has been at Kevin’s mercy... and at his service. Wade has had to do things that he swore he never would. But the worst part is that he’s starting to like it. Wade’s gotten a taste for something that he can’t get from this cheerleader girlfriend. 
  But that may be the least of the straight stud’s problems. Because Kevin’s not the only one who’s found leverage on Wade. 
  And if Wade thought his coach was hard on him before, he has no idea what’s coming.

  Crown Jewels: Royal Women and...

  Globally famous and yet universally misunderstood – these are the complex and utterly engrossing stories of Britain's royal women behind the public façade. 
  Look closely at the narratives about contemporary royal women and you will see a repeating pattern, each characterised as the monarchy’s saviour or a destroyer, saint or sinner, or describing an arc between those poles. It is when royal women attempt to define themselves, carve out meaning for themselves, that things get really interesting. “She won’t go quietly. That’s the problem,” said Diana in her controversial Panorama interview. Nor did she. 
  The requirement that royal women give up their voice was already out of step with those earlier times and her instincts. Her sons’ wives have taken openly divergent paths, Kate dutiful, Meghan kicking against the restraints. Their sharply polarised supporters reject the idea of any commonalities, yet they are there. Both women have seen their lives instrumentalised and distorted. 
  To appreciate royal women and their significance more clearly, it is necessary to unpick the storylines written for them, the preconceptions projected on to them. They are globally famous and universally misunderstood. 
  Crown Jewels will unmask characters far more complex and interesting than standard portrayals suggest—and also spotlight the fragility of the monarchy. For more than a century apparently unsinkable, the House of Windsor is floundering. The most compelling and consequential players in this unfolding endgame are royal women. 
  For fans of Robert Hardman (Charles III), Angela Levin (Diana’s Babies), Robert Jobson (William at 40), and Tina Brown (The Diana Chronicles).
