Mary Is Texting Us 2016 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 32min
Texts from Mary 2016 I can tell a year after the death of my mom, Mary has been and is there with me. She loves you more than you know, and no matter what we have done, she listens and does work for our us. The white clay walls fall around me. The end is near, but hope, love, and Mary calls us to life eternal. I did not want to write this book. I protested and want to go back to detective novels. Yet here I am with a mild lonely hangover. Yet Mary does not want the best or the righteous. She wants all of her son’s children, weak, drunk, sexy, or hungry. So many of us look up to Hollywood idols and athletes. To Mary she cannot communicate with those pros. Enough of my self-loathing.The purpose of this book is to show Mary is working to help us avoid oblivion. To be sure, the upcoming RFID Global Chip is here. Soon, all of us will make a choice. Sure I want a Pulitzer Prize for Literature. Though it looks like I will have to try again in purgatory. We have to unplug ourselves from the internet and, for me, from soccer. Silence in a bathroom is my confessional. For you it may be with headphones on a subway without the music. Others it may mean a walk in the woods. This is not a piece to condemn but to comfort. Not an effort to finger point but to share five fingers with yours. The following are articles based on Marian apparitions for the year 2016. Instead of cutting and pasting articles, I’ve cut them into strips of mental vitamins. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Milk the Iron Cow , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 243min
Milk the Iron Cow begins in the months leading up to December 7, 1941, during World War II. The story is set in the Midwestern city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Milwaukee has a huge industrial capacity: foundries, machine-shops, factories, rails systems, and water-ways. The lake-port and river docks are beehives of ships loading soldiers and war materials. Day and night, on the streets near the docks, there is a constant roar of motors as trucks arrive and leave from loading and unloading stations. This is a time when the industrial might of the US was converted from making automobiles and washing machines to airplanes and bombs; a time when men carried guns instead of lunch pails; a time when machines stood idle because there was no white men to operate them; a time when white women left home to take the place of white men in the factories. This is a time when most unions and companies continued to ban Negroes from skill-training or employment in all but janitorial jobs; a time when white men refused to have black men work alongside them; a time when colored men and women protested racial discrimination in employment, and along with the Urban League, National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and A. Philip Randolph, of the Brotherhood of Sleeping-Car Porters' Union, took that protest to the streets, the courts, and to the president of the United States. Milk the Iron Cow is for lovers of a good story. Educators could find it entertaining and informative as a supplement in courses such as American History, Ethnic Studies, Social Studies, and African and African American Studies. ungekürzt.

What Truth Sounds Like: Robert F. Kennedy, James Baldwin, and Our Unfinished Conversation About Race in America , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 392min
This program is read by the author. What Truth Sounds Like is a timely exploration of America's tortured racial politics that continues the conversation from Michael Eric Dyson's New York Times best seller Tears We Cannot Stop. President Barack Obama: "Everybody who speaks after Michael Eric Dyson pales in comparison." In 2015, BLM activist Julius Jones confronted presidential candidate Hillary Clinton with an urgent query: "What in your heart has changed that's going to change the direction of this country?" "I don't believe you just change hearts", she protested. "I believe you change laws." The fraught conflict between conscience and politics - between morality and power - in addressing race hardly began with Clinton. An electrifying and traumatic encounter in the '60s crystallized these furious disputes. In 1963, Attorney General Robert Kennedy sought out James Baldwin to explain the rage that threatened to engulf black America. Baldwin brought along some friends, including playwright Lorraine Hansberry, psychologist Kenneth Clark, and a valiant activist, Jerome Smith. It was Smith's relentless, unfiltered fury that set Kennedy on his heels, reducing him to sullen silence. Kennedy walked away from the nearly three-hour meeting angry - that the black folk assembled didn't understand politics, and that they weren't as easy to talk to as Martin Luther King. But especially that they were more interested in witness than policy. But Kennedy's anger quickly gave way to empathy, especially for Smith. "I guess if I were in his shoes...I might feel differently about this country." Kennedy set about changing policy - the meeting having transformed his thinking in fundamental ways. There was more: every big argument about race that persists to this day got a hearing in that room. Smith declaring that he'd never fight for h ungekürzt. Language: English.

Angry White Male: How the Donald Trump Phenomenon Is Changing America - and What We Can All Do to Save the Middle Class , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 479min
The mainstream media and ultra-liberal Democrats can't understand why white voters, especially white men, are so angry. Wayne Allyn Root is an angry white male, and he knows why. This is his story, his testimony, and a look at what's happening to an entire group of good people: law-abiding, tax-paying, hard-working, middle-class people. They're being targeted, silenced, intimidated, persecuted - virtually wiped off the planet - in order to make guilty, politically correct white liberals feel better about themselves. It's open season on white males. And yes, you're damn right they're angry. In Angry White Male , Root makes his case why he and his brethren have every right to be angry. Millions of angry white males are not on the attack but rather responding in self-defense. Root urges the middle class to take charge before they are protested and legislated out of existence, penniless, powerless, jobless, afraid to speak for fear of being shouted down and immediately labeled "racist." Not afraid of being politically incorrect, Angry White Male exposes the unfair and unregulated policies, politically correct attitudes, and reverse racism that have recently oppressed and depressed the shrinking middle class - in voting, housing, guns, taxes, regulation, and jobs - and provides the playbook to empower listeners to protect their rights. They can do this by verbalizing, mobilizing, and protesting, getting out to vote in record numbers, pushing for term limits, fighting the "not so free" trade battle, fighting for a "Middle-Class Contract with America" and "Middle-Class Income Tax Vacation," and arming themselves with the "Middle-Class Weapon of Self-Defense."

When Good Lesbians Meet Bad Lesbians & More Stories , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 47min, (USK 18)
Just tell me what you want, Bethany, Carmen replied coldly. Bethany smiled wickedly and licked her ice cream cone. "I'll tell you what: I am the same age as Derek. All I ask is that you do everything I say, from now on." She took another lick of her ice cream cone. "Be my sex slave, and I won't breathe a word of this to Mr. Childers." Bethany went on to promise she wouldn't reveal their special relationship if Carmen agreed. They eventually shook hands and went their separate ways. And that was how it had all started. Bethany would skip school and go to the Childers' home when Mr. Childers was at work and Trevor was in school. There she would dominate Carmen, commanding her to please her in any way she saw fit. Then one Tuesday evening when Bethany's parents were out of town, she called Carmen. "Come over to my house right away," she insisted. "But my husband is here," Carmen protested. "Make an excuse," Bethany demanded. "You have ten minutes." Eight and a half minutes later, the doorbell rang. It was Carmen. Bethany let her in, shaking her head as she locked the door behind her. "You didn't dress up," she said. "You know I like my little slut to dress up for me. You only gave me ten minutes!" Carmen objected. "No excuse!" Bethany replied. "Go to my parent's room and put on something of my mother's." Carmen returned a few minutes later wearing a pink babydoll and matching thong. Bethany nodded. "Very nice," she said. "Now get over here!" ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: K. Krutz. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/011098/bk_acx0_011098_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.- Shop: Audible

Run for Something: A Real-Talk Guide to Fixing the System Yourself , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 421min
From the email marketing director of Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign and the cofounder of Run for Something comes an essential and inspiring guide that encourages and educates young progressives to run for local office, complete with contributions from elected officials and political operatives. You've been depressed since the night of November 8, 2016. You wore black to work the next morning. You berated yourself for your complacency during the Obama years. You ranted on Twitter. You deleted Twitter. You sent emails to your friends saying, "How can we get more involved?" You listened to Pod Save America. You knitted a pussyhat. You showed up to the Women's March on Washington. You protested Donald Trump's executive orders. You called your congressman. You called other people's congressmen. You set up monthly donations to Planned Parenthood and the ACLU. You reactivated Twitter (begrudgingly). Here's what you do next: Run for something. To be specific: Run for local office and become the change you want to see in the world. Forget about Congress. Forget about the Senate. Focus on the offices that get the real sh*t done: state legislatures, city councils, school boards, and mayors. It doesn't matter if you're not a white man over 60 with an Ivy League law degree. (In fact, it's better if you're not!) It doesn't matter if you don't understand the first thing about running for office, or never even imagined you would. That's what this book is for. Amanda Litman, experienced in hard-fought state and national election campaigns, is here to give you guidance as well as wisdom and insight from elected officials and political operatives she interviewed for this book. There are half a million elected officials in the United States. Why can't you be one of them? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Candace Thaxton, Roger Casey, Fred Sanders, Amanda Carlin.

French Huguenot Protestant Reformation Movement: Historical Events and Beliefs of Christian Protestantism , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 100min
Most non-Catholic Christians are not aware of the Protestant Reformation Movement of the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries, without which, we would have no choice, even today, but to be Catholics. Does this sound strange to you if you're Protestant? That's because many Protestant pastors are not teaching their flocks about this Christian, world-changing event. I honor the right of people in Catholicism to practice their religion because as a USA citizen it is my constitutional duty, but Protestants can still strongly disagree with many of their interpretations on doctrines of the Holy Bible. These include paying money to the Catholic Church to get loved ones out of purgatory - a place in-between Heaven and Hell; praying to Saints and to Mary, who we love dearly, rather than to the Father through Jesus Christ; belief that with the partaking of communion (Eucharist), the bread and wine become the literal body and blood of Jesus Christ; etc. Still, it is our duty to honor their rights of beliefs because we also have those rights as Protestants. However, we do not have to honor hostile, violent religious movements because those movements are an abuse of religious rights. Protestantism and Catholicism are not still at war, but during the 16th, 17th and part of the 18th centuries, there were over 10 million deaths as a result of the Protestant Reformation Movement. A people called Huguenots, who were French, protested the coerced enforcement of Catholicism as did followers of Martin Luther, referred to as Lutherans. My family-tree books show that my own ancestors were Huguenot-French Protestants as does my DNA testing. The National Huguenot Society also lists my ancestor, a man named Johannes Lorentz, who with his wife Anna Margaretha Heiliger, immigrated to Holland and to the US from there.Learn more about the Protestant Reformation Movement in this audiobook. ungekürzt.

The Ultimate Carter Godwin Woodson Collection: The Education of the Negro Prior to 1861, A Century of Negro Migration, The History of the Negro Church, & The Mis-Education of the Negro , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1251min
Carter Godwin Woodson (1875-1950) is best known as the "father of Black history". Woodson was a teacher, scholar, publisher, historian, and pioneer in the field of Black studies who popularized the subject in the schools and colleges of Black people. The Ultimate Carter Godwin Woodson Collection includes Book one: The Education of the Negro Prior to 1861 (1919). In it, he documents the ways that education took place among African Americans from the beginning of slavery to the Civil War. There was fierce opposition to teaching slaves to read and write, while some slave owners thought it important for slaves to learn book and record keeping. Others wished for slaves to become educated enough to read the bible and become Christians; in this, Catholics and Quakers were at the forefront. At one stage, the South made draconian laws against educating slaves, specifically targeted to prevent Northerners from educational initiatives, which hampered the efforts of Abolitionists. As regards to higher education, the debate about whether to teach a trade or a liberal education was ongoing, and White trade unions protested the potential competition. Book two: A Century of Negro Migration chronicles the movement of Blacks from the South to the North and West. The introductory section discusses early migrations during the colonial era and at the close of the 18th century. The history up to the early 20th century is covered in chapters like "Transplantation to the North"; "Fighting It Out on Free Soil"; "Colonization as a Remedy for Migration"; "The Successful Migrant"; "Confusing Movements"; "Exodus to the West"; "The Migration of the Talented Tenth"; and "The Exodus During the World War". Drawing on information from newspapers, personal letters, and academic journals, the work is both a detailed history and a poignant account of decades of oppression and of liberation and achievement.

The Evangelicals: The Struggle to Shape America , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1550min
Longlisted for the National Book Award for Nonfiction This groundbreaking book from Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Frances FitzGerald is the first to tell the powerful, dramatic story of the Evangelical movement in America - from the Puritan era to the 2016 presidential election. The evangelical movement began in the revivals of the 18th and 19th centuries, known in America as the Great Awakenings. A populist rebellion against the established churches, it became the dominant religious force in the country. During the 19th century, white evangelicals split apart dramatically, first North versus South and then, at the end of the century, modernist versus fundamentalist. After World War II, Billy Graham, the revivalist preacher, attracted enormous crowds and tried to gather all Protestants under his big tent, but the civil rights movement and the social revolution of the '60s drove them apart again. By the 1980s, Jerry Falwell and other Southern televangelists, such as Pat Robertson, had formed the Christian right. Protesting abortion and gay rights, they led the South into the Republican Party, and for 35 years they were the sole voice of evangelicals to be heard nationally. Eventually a younger generation of leaders protested the Christian right's close ties with the Republican Party and proposed a broader agenda of issues, such as climate change, gender equality, and immigration reform. Evangelicals have, in many ways, defined the nation. They have shaped our culture and our politics. Frances FitzGerald's narrative of this distinctively American movement is a major work of history, piecing together the centuries-long story for the first time. Evangelicals now constitute 25 percent of the American population, but they are no longer monolithic in their politics. They range from Tea Party supporters to social reformers. Still, with the decline of religious faith generally, FitzGerald suggests that evangelical churches must em ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jacques Roy.

Last Woman Hanged: The Terrible True Story of Louisa Collins , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 573min
Two husbands, four trials and one bloody execution: Winner of the 2015 Davitt Award for Best Crime Book (nonfiction) - the terrible true story of Louisa Collins. In January 1889, Louisa Collins, a 41-year-old mother of 10 children, became the first woman hanged at Darlinghurst Gaol and the last woman hanged in New South Wales. Both of Louisa's husbands had died suddenly and the Crown, convinced that Louisa poisoned them with arsenic, put her on trial an extraordinary four times in order to get a conviction, to the horror of many in the legal community. Louisa protested her innocence until the end. Much of the evidence against Louisa was circumstantial. Some of the most important testimony was given by her only daughter, May, who was just 10-years-old when asked to take the stand. Louisa Collins was hanged at a time when women were in no sense equal under the law - except when it came to the gallows. They could not vote or stand for parliament - or sit on juries. Against this background, a small group of women rose up to try to save Louisa's life, arguing that a legal system comprised only of men - male judges, all-male jury, male prosecutor, governor, and premier - could not with any integrity hang a woman. The tenacity of these women would not save Louisa but it would ultimately carry women from their homes all the way to Parliament House. Caroline Overington is the author of 11 books of fiction and non-fiction, including the top-selling The One Who Got Away, a psychological crime novel. She has said: "My hope is that Last Woman Hanged will be read not only as a true crime story but as a letter of profound thanks to that generation of women who fought so hard for the rights we still enjoy today." ungekürzt.
