The People's Idea of God by Mary Baker Eddy audiobook.

Genre: religion

In The People's Idea of God: Its Effect on Health and Christianity, Mary Baker Eddy presents a compact, provocative sermon that asks a practical question: what happens to human life when our concept of God is shaped by fear, materialism, and limitation? Speaking to an audience wrestling with traditional theology and modern medicine, Eddy argues that a society's view of Deity quietly governs its morals, its worship, and even its expectations about sickness and healing. She challenges the notion of God as a finite personal ruler and recasts God as divine Principle - Life, Truth, and Love - urging listeners to trade sense-bound assumptions for a more spiritual understanding of existence. Moving between Scripture, moral reasoning, and pointed critique of religious custom, Eddy links spiritual reform with inner purification: baptism as transformed thought, repentance as the washing away of motives for sin, and faith as reliance on Spirit rather than matter. The result is a passionate call to reexamine first principles and to let a higher idea of God reshape how we live, pray, and seek wholeness.

On Liberty by John Stuart Mill audiobook.

Genre: philosophy

First published in 1859, John Stuart Mill's On Liberty is a foundational work of political philosophy that asks a deceptively simple question: when, if ever, is it right for society or the state to limit an individual's freedom? Mill argues that liberty is not only a personal good but a public necessity, essential to progress, truth-seeking, and human flourishing. Moving from principles to practical tests, he introduces his famous harm principle, insisting that coercion is justified only to prevent harm to others - not to enforce morality, tradition, or majority preference. Along the way, Mill examines the dangers of social pressure and conformity, warning that public opinion can be as oppressive as law. He defends freedom of thought and speech as the engine of intellectual life, explores individuality as a vital ingredient of well-being, and considers the limits of authority in society. Clear, forceful, and provocative, this short book invites listeners into an ongoing debate about rights, responsibility, tolerance, and the boundaries of power in a free society.

The Breaking Point by Mary Roberts Rinehart audiobook.

Genre: mystery

Mary Roberts Rinehart -- 'America's Agatha Christie,' as she used to be called -- set this story in a New York suburban town, shortly after the end of the first world war. Dick Livingstone is a young, successful doctor, who in the course of events becomes engaged to Elizabeth Wheeler. But there is a mystery about his past, and he thinks himself honor-bound to unravel it before giving himself to her in marriage. In particular, a shock of undetermined origin has wiped out his memory prior to roughly the last decade. Rinehart, who presumably had been reading, or reading about, the then popular Sigmund Freud, plays on what today is called 'repressed memory,' as she takes Dick into his past, and into the dangers that, unknown to him, lurk there. Is she correct about the behavior of memory? Who knows? After all, this is not a clinical treatise, but a work of fiction, one of the thrillers that made her such a popular writer of the earlier twentieth century.
