Here are three stories in this audiobook. All three about love, but... It’s not quite that simple!

The first story was written by Kimbely Lowe and titled "So I Tamed a Texan”. It's a classic old-style "boy meets girl”, or rather "rich girl meets a poor boy, or rather knows him all her life but…” story.

As a child, Elisha witnessed the burning of a witch outside of London, and saw her transformed into an angel at the moment of her death, though all around him denied this vision. He swore that the next time he might have the chance to bind an angel’s wounds, he would be ready. And so he became a barber-surgeon, at the lowest ranks of the medical profession, following the only healer’s path available to a peasant’s son. Elisha is good at his work, but skill alone cannot protect him.

This book is rendered to the Body of Christ as an alarm and a challenge against attitudes within the Church that has watered down, and in many cases redefined, what it is to be Christ-like. The reader will find strong confrontation for both leadership as well as contending against some traditional embraces that do not edify the Church.

Nach "Das Lied der Nacht" der zweite Band der epischen Wayfarer-Saga: Wird der Wanderer Weyd die Türme des Lichts finden? Wanderer Weyd begibt sich mit seinen Gefährten auf die Reise zu den legendären Türmen des Lichts. Seine Waffe gegen die monströsen Schatten ist keine Armee, sondern ein uraltes Lied - doch wird es die Helden schützen? Denn diesmal kann die Bardin Caer ihre Stimme nicht gegen ihre Feinde erheben. Dabei lauert ihnen ein Gegner auf, der finsterer ist als jeder Schatten.

Nur ein vergessenes Lied vermag es, die Dunkelheit der Nacht zu durchbrechen. Wäre es doch nur erlaubt zu singen - oder sich zu erinnern... "Ich erzähle euch eine Geschichte. Sie beginnt in einem finsteren Tal mit hohen, schneebedeckten Bäumen. Sie beginnt mit einem einsamen Wanderer in den fahlen Stunden des Zwielichts, in der bläulich glänzenden Dämmerung. Sie beginnt mit einer Frage. Fürchtet ihr euch?"

The short stories written during and about World War I are often overshadowed by the excellent verse of the War Poets. Yet the short story is perhaps their equal in other ways. Within these succinct little time capsules of words are captured ideas, attitudes, feelings and life that are expressed in a few minutes just as movingly, imaginatively and tellingly as in any other form. Some of these stories will be familiar, but some may not. From Virginia Woolf to Katharine Mansfield and John Buchan to C. E. Montague, various writing styles try to make sense of this world at war.

Charles Edward Montague was born in London on New Year’s Day, 1867, and educated at the City of London School and then Balliol College, Oxford. Among those to flow from his pen are the novels A Hind Let Loose and Rough Justice as well as collections of short stories, other essays and a travel book. He finally retired in 1925 and settled down to become a full-time writer in the last years of his life. Charles Edward Montague died in Manchester on May 28th, 1928, at the age of 61.
