Al Thaahir: The Evidence, the Outer, the Manifest is a reflection that summarizes yet magnifies, that shines a light on what we tend to forget. It is a reminder of what we need to do to bring ourselves to be connected again with the higher power. It is here, in the now, that many are too distracted to feel this connection. But we are never far from what witness to us the presence of God. The manuscript was written in Arabic and German when Sahar was a student at the Goethe Institute in Cairo.

If you feel overwhelmed by the constant juggling of different areas of your life, this audiobook can help.

It's hard to get the full effect of Lewis Black's gloriously bitter comedy if you're only listening to him. Watching the man work himself up into a lather with jowls shaking, beads of spittle flying from his lips, and his eyes bulging from his sockets as if his head is about to burst open from sheer pentup rage adds immeasurably to the effect of his barbed, pungent wit.

Recorded in the summer of 2004, Luther Burbank Performing Arts Center Blues documents Black hilariously going off on such phenomena as Janet Jackson's infamous appearance at the Super Bowl, the controversy over gay marriage, Arnold Schwarzenegger's ascent to the California governor's mansion, and the ongoing disaster of America's presence in Iraq.

So, what was Lewis Black like when he was younger? Did he have a positive outlook on life in the '80's and grow disenchanted as he got older? Hardly. This historic record from America's foremost commentator on everything, gives a telling, hilarious insight into Lewis Black's earlier years in standup. Before The Daily Show, before the Grammys, before the massive fame.

As "America's Foremost Commentator On Everything", Black is a weekly political commentator on Comedy Central's The Daily Show With Jon Stewart and has starred in four top-rated comedy specials for the network.

On his new album, Stark Raving Black, Lewis Black brings his singular style of profane and profound humor to the stage. Compelled by his passions and discontentedness with the absurdities of the world, he erupts in a hand-shaking, body-trembling, spewing of diatribe-laced dialectic comedy. Focusing on the personal and the political, Lewis guides his audience through a catalogue of the woes of the world, from the absurdities of aging (60 is not the new 40!) to the pitfalls of becoming a "mainstream" comedian to the insanity of Washington and Wall Street.

Queen of Anarchy is the heart-pounding second installment in the Dirty Broken Savages series.

"I was a good girl once. But bad b*tches get shit done. My list is finished. Every name has been crossed off.

In his words, watching the tape back is like watching a ghost.
