Muchas veces olvidamos que los primeros creyentes en Jesucristo fueron judíos. La Epístola a los Hebreos responde a las preguntas que los creyentes judíos se hacían durante el primer siglo y necesitaban respuestas convincentes para entender la relación entre el Viejo y el Nuevo Pacto. ¿Por qué Jesús fue superior a Moisés ?, ¿Por qué la muerte de Jesús elimina la necesidad de el sistema levítico. ¿Cuál es la relación entre el Tabernáculo y Jesús? ¿Hay otra manera de lograr la salvación? ¿Se puede perder su salvación?Las cuestiones de ese primer grupo de creyentes judíos y los que buscaban respuestas en aquel tiempo, no son muy diferentes de las cuestiones con las que se encuentra la Iglesia en la actualidad. Por esta razón, el Espíritu Santo a través del escritor de este libro lo incluyó como parte del canon, para ayudar tanto al creyente como a aquel que sinceramente busca respuestas a entender la conexión entre el Antiguo y el Nuevo Pacto.Quien fue el autor de esta epístola a los hebreos ha sido objeto de debate. Muchos en la iglesia primitiva veían a Pablo como el autor, pero debido a que no hay ningún nombre en el texto, existen argumentos a favor y en contra de su autoría. - Summary by Claudia R Barrett

Isabella Bird travels abroad in Canada and the United States in the 1850s. As an Englishwoman and a lone female, she travels as far as Chicago, Prince Edward Island, and Cincinatti. Her observations on the trials and tribulations of the journeys are astute, if formed by her place and time in history. Adventures with pickpockets, omnibuses, cholera, and rat invested hotels deter her not. (Sibella Denton)

In this volume of adventure the author depicts the lives of certain humble modern heroes whose unconscious courage ordinarily goes unnoticed. Mr. Moffett has chosen unusual and picturesque careers, and has offered dramatic scenes from the lives of the steeple climber, the diver, the balloonist,the pilot, the bridge builder, the fireman, the aerial acrobat, the wild animal trainer, the dynamite worker and lastly the locomotive driver. (Summary by annise)And it has great pictures - ever wondered what the top of a steeple really looked like? Some listeners may find the 'Wild Animal Tamer' stories distressing - I did. I would suggest you just don't download that section - the rest is well worth listening to.

The most complete set of the epic Norse eddas, or poems. It contains in beautiful verse the pagan beliefs of the Old Norse. Luckily in this work both the Elder Eddas of Saemund Sigfusson and the Younger Eddas of Snorre Sturleson are presented, and you may find a version of the Nibelunglied that you aren't as familiar with. Numerous authors including Tolkien and Martin have acknowledge their debt to and appreciation for these traditional works. (Summary by Becky Cook)
