Captains Courageous by Rudyard Kipling audiobook.

Genre: adventure

Real men don't take guff from snotty kids. Neither does Disko Troop, skipper of the 'We're Here', a fishing schooner out of Gloucester, Massachusetts, when his crew fishes Harvey Cheyne out of the Atlantic. There's no place on the Grand Banks for bystanders, so Harvey is press-ganged into service as a replacement for a man lost overboard and drowned. Harvey is heir to a vast fortune, but his rescuers believe none of what he tells them of his background. Disko won't take the boat to port until it is full of fish, so Harvey must settle in for a season at sea. Hard, dangerous work and performing it alongside a grab-bag of characters in close quarters is a life-changing experience.

And when Harvey at last is reunited with his parents, who have thought him dead for months, he must face the hard decisions of how he will allow his experience to change his life.

The Black Arrow by Robert Louis Stevenson audiobook.

Genre: adventure

In the unsettled years of England's War of the Roses, where a man stood on the issue of kingship could make his fortune... or end his life. Dick Shelton, a nobly-born lad, is on the cusp of manhood, and he is thrust bodily into this stew where allegiances shift under one's feet. Circumstances cause him to fall in with a gentlemaiden in boy's disguise. Until he learns of the deception, Dick is unaware that the young lady is an heiress whom his guardian Sir Daniel had kidnapped. And the introduction of an outlaw with a penchant for putting black arrows into the bodies of the men who had wronged him affords Dick a worrying hint - that Sir Daniel might have been the man that had murdered Dick's father!

The Nature and Authority of Conscience by Rufus Jones ~ Full Audiobook [religion]

The Nature and Authority of Conscience by Rufus Jones audiobook.

Genre: religion

In this 1920 Swarthmore Lecture, Quaker thinker and philosopher Rufus M. Jones tackles a question at the crossroads of ethics and faith: what is conscience, and why should it command our allegiance when custom, church, and state all claim authority? Beginning with familiar moral tensions, Jones widens the lens to consider the idea of a moral universe and the place of the individual within it. He argues that conscience is more than a passing emotion or simple social conditioning: it is a deep, active capacity that can be awakened, educated, clarified, and also misled. Along the way, he probes how moral insight develops through experience and disciplined inner life, and he tests the power of external voices - law, tradition, public opinion, and institutional religion - against the inward summons to truth and goodness. With a distinctly Quaker emphasis on the Inner Light, Jones challenges listeners to examine the roots of their moral judgments and to form a conscience strong enough to resist coercion, yet humble enough to learn. Part philosophical inquiry and part spiritual counsel, this concise classic speaks to anyone wrestling with duty, freedom, and the demands of integrity.
