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.

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 Royal Book of Oz by Ruth Plumly Thompson audiobook.
Genre: fantasy
In The Royal Book of Oz, the Emerald City is bustling with celebrations, but the peace of Oz is shaken by rumors of a mysterious figure who claims a startling right to the throne. Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, the Cowardly Lion, Princess Ozma, and their friends are drawn into a tangle of royal questions, secret histories, and far-flung journeys across the many odd and wonderful countries that surround the Emerald City. As messages go missing and loyalties are tested, the travelers must separate truth from trickery and protect Oz from being reshaped by ambition. Along the way, they encounter strange courts, curious creatures, and comical hazards that turn every road into a new puzzle, where courage and kindness matter as much as cleverness. Ruth Plumly Thompson blends brisk adventure with playful humor, building a story about identity, legitimacy, and what it really means to be royal. With danger brewing behind pageantry, the fate of Oz may depend on whether its friends can uncover the real story before a false claim becomes a real catastrophe.
