Israeli storyteller Noa Baum grew up in Jerusalem in the shadow of the ancestral traumas of the holocaust and ongoing wars. Stories of the past and fear of annihilation in the wars of the ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s shaped her perceptions and identity. In America, she met a Palestinian woman who had grown up under Israeli occupation, and as they shared memories of war years in Jerusalem, an unlikely friendship blossomed.A Land Twice Promised delves into the heart of one of the world’s most enduring and complex conflicts. Baum’s deeply personal memoir recounts her journey from girlhood in post-Holocaust Israel to her adult encounter with “the other”. With honesty, compassion, and humor, she captures the drama of a nation at war and her discovery of humanity in the enemy. Winner of the 2017 Anne Izard Storytellers' Choice Award, among others, this compelling memoir demonstrates the transformative power of art and challenges each listener to take the first step toward peace. ungekürzt.

The Hundred Story Home , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 392min
What if you just trusted the whisper of calling placed on your heart? Kathy Izard was volunteering at Charlotte’s Urban Ministry Center when an unlikely meeting with a homeless man changed the course of her life. She realized that serving at the soup kitchen was feeding her soul, but not actually solving the needs of the homeless population. Rather than brush it off and avoid what she now felt called to take on, she quit her job and took on what seemed like an insurmountable task - building housing for Charlotte’s homeless. Woven together with this uplifting story of social action is Kathy’s personal struggle with faith, forgiveness and fulfillment. In telling her story, Kathy invites you to consider rewriting your own. What’s calling you? As crazy at it seems, it may be crazier not to try. This book will push you to do so much more than you ever thought possible. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ginny Welsh.

The Awkward Ozarker: A Curious Tale of Self-Reinvention in a Scantily Settled Land , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 534min
In this witty, wise, heartwarming memoir, Blant Hurt, a 50-something flatlander with urban sensibilities, buys a ratty weekend cabin up in the dark heart of the Ozark Mountains. His new wife has a passing familiarity with this rugged area, but still. What are they doing? Their cabin is crudely built and lacks running water and electricity. Then there's the local land baron who aspires to build a giant sand mine on their doorstep. Aided by their deep-souled "true Ozarker" neighbor, they slowly peel back the layers of what is basically a closed society up in the wilds of Izard County, Arkansas. They attend a one-room church with its oddball Yankee preacher, take on a magical stray dog that serves as an ever-eager hiking companion, brush against the local arts and crafts gentry (alas, neither has any craft-worthy skills, save her fondness for spray-painting), and even join a group of doomsday preppers. Through it all, they come to relish their new lives in this little lost corner of the world. Eventually, owing to the ruin of the local land baron, they scheme to amass more property to pass on to their heirs as a so-called 100 year legacy, if only they, like so many other dreamers up in the Ozarks, can pull it off. ungekürzt.

Understanding the War Between the States , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 626min
Understanding the War Between the States is a supplemental history by 16 writers that enables a more complete and truthful study of American history. Consisting of 40 concise chapters, beginning with the Colonial era of North America, moving to the Revolution and the establishment of the US, it proceeds into westward expansion to the Pacific Ocean. But at that point in American history, the Northern cultures and Southern cultures clash in a horrific political sectional contest over how powerful the country's federal government should be. The consequence is political sectionalism in the Northern states, giving rise to the Republican Party and the election of Abraham Lincoln and Republican governors throughout the Northern states. Secession of seven Southern states takes place, and President Lincoln contrives a pretext for launching a war of subjugation and conquest against the non-Republican Southern States. After four years of horrific war, even "total war", the Federals prevail. A process of political reconstruction ensues, a process for the federal government to become all-powerful is launched, and the limited government promised by the American Revolution is lost to memory. State rights declines into a faint memory of days long ago, everywhere, North, South, and West. Our society has produced the most concise, complete, and easily understandable history that has ever been created for the purpose of imparting a truthful understanding of the war between the states. ungekürzt.

Southerner, Take Your Stand! , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 103min
The title and message of John Vinson’s audiobook is one in the same - Southerner, Take Your Stand! This is not an empty call to action or pining for the good ol' days, but a practical guide to reclaiming your identity and your life. Although this audiobook is specific to Southerners, the discerning listener will view Vinson’s work as applicable to any individual, family, or community that wants to separate themselves - as far as possible - from the "Establishment" and get back to the basics of faith, family, community, sustainable living, and self-sufficiency. This road to independence is fraught with danger and hardships, but the alternative route is a road to both moral and material ruin: "The time is ripe to set a new course of living and making a living. Southerners and other Americans must understand that to depend on the Establishment is to participate in our own destruction. If we are to be saved, we must save ourselves by striking out on our own, a person at a time, a family at a time, and a community at a time, to build a future worth living as free men and women.... Be warned that the route to Southern renewal will offer hardship, toil, and difficulty. It will require blazing new trails while following ancient directions. It is not a mission for weaklings." The author’s hope is that this audiobook will "rouse the Southern remnant and provide new ideas for action." ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bill Izard.

Confederaphobia: An American Epidemic , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 104min
For 150 years Confederate monuments and other memorials dotted the American landscape. Few people objected. After all, a third of the American people are descended from Confederate soldiers and Congress has officially and legally declared Confederates to be "American veterans". That time has passed. There is an epidemic of hate and fear sweeping the land; a wave of hostility and intolerance that shows no sign of slowing or stopping; its fury is directed at Southern symbols - flags, monuments, and other displays - in fact everything Southern now appears to be a target. Paul C. Graham has courageously examined this case of mass hysteria; a condition he has aptly dubbed "Confederaphobia". "It's one thing," writes Graham, "to acknowledge that the meaning of symbols is one of perspective. It's quite another thing to have the meaning dictated by ideologues who are not participants in the cultural tradition.... Southern symbols mean to the Southerner exactly what they say that they do...speak for those people for whom Southern identity is a living reality." Southern people are growing weary of the ongoing demonization; of being bullied and harassed; and have begun to realize that Confederaphobia is not a matter of monuments, but a campaign to expunge their identity. If you are a self-identified Southerner, you are a potential target! It's not too late to inoculate yourself from the dangerous effects of this disease, but this is only possible if you recognize the problem. The problem is not Confederate flags, monuments, markers, belt-buckles, stickers, do-dads, knick-knacks, what-nots, or Dukes of Hazzard re-runs - the problem is Confederaphobia! ungekürzt.

American History for Home Schools, 1607 to 1885, with a Focus on Our Civil War , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 642min
Sixteen historians, all members of the Society of Independent Southern Historians, have come together to write this truthful history of America specifically for home-schooled students. Herein is a history that is truthful, concise, yet comprehensive, written especially for students of middle school and high school age and for the parents who provide guidance through the home-school educational approach. The 40 student lessons in this book present 278 years of our history: from the founding of the Jamestown, Virginia, colony to the restoration of a healthy balance in American politics as evidenced by the election of Democrat Grover Cleveland in 1885. Each lesson (or chapter) includes suggestions for student discussion and lists a few resources for further study. The history of how Patriots of the Southern colonies were instrumental in winning our American Revolution and creating our original limited-power federal government is covered. The history of how pioneers of the Southern culture spearheaded the western migration to the Mississippi and beyond is covered.Our Civil War, also known as the War Between the States, was the major event in those 278 years of our history. For that reason, the political sectionalism that tore the country apart is presented in detail. The war itself is covered, but only one lesson reviews major battles. The subsequent political reconstruction is covered in detail, with ample explanation of how the principle of state rights, previously treasured in both the North and the South, was subjugated under a far more powerful federal government following the conquest of the Confederate states.The Society of Independent Southern Historians is a nonprofit educational organization registered in North Carolina and composed of members all across America. Some members are school teachers and college professors, but most have, instead, pursued careers in other fields. Many are retired. All have a passion for the truthful telling ungekürzt.
