Orthodoxy by Gilbert K. Chesterton audiobook.

Genre: religion

In Orthodoxy, G. K. Chesterton sets out to explain how he arrived at Christian belief, not through inherited convention, but through a hard-won sense that the world is both stranger and more meaningful than modern cynicism allows. Framed as a personal intellectual adventure, the book follows Chesterton as he tests the fashionable ideas of his age - skepticism, materialism, and self-made philosophies - and finds them unable to account for everyday experience: joy and duty, wonder and reason, sin and virtue, freedom and constraint. With wit, paradox, and vivid imagery, he argues that Christian orthodoxy is not a dull set of rules but a daring balance of opposites that protects the color and sanity of life. Along the way he reflects on imagination, humility, morality, and the peril of making the self the measure of truth. Both a defense of faith and a critique of modern assumptions, Orthodoxy invites listeners to reconsider what seems obvious, and to see belief as a living, dynamic response to the real world.

The Story of the Pony Express by Glenn D. Bradley audiobook.

Genre: history

The Story of the Pony Express offers an in depth account behind the need for a mail route to connect the eastern U.S. with the rapidly populating west coast following the gold rush of California, the springing up of lumber camps, and all incidental needs arising from the settling of the western frontier. Here we learn of the inception of the Pony Express, its formation, successes, failures, facts, statistics, combined with many anecdotes and names of the people who were an integral part of this incredible entity which lasted but less than two years, yet was instrumental in the successful settlement of two thirds of the land mass comprising the expanding country.
