Sinner's Creed , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 379min

Sinner’s Creed is the uncensored memoir of Scott Stapp, Grammy Award-winning leader of the multiplatinum rock band CREED. Raised by an abusive stepfather, Scott was always aware of God's presence in his life, but it wasn't until years later, amid a life punctuated by sex, drugs, and rock ’n roll that Scott began to feel a need for God in his life. During CREED’s decade of dominance and in the years following the band's breakup, Scott struggled with drugs and alcohol, which led not only to a divorce, but also to a much-publicized suicide attempt in 2006. Now clean, sober, and in the midst of a highly successful solo career, Scott has finally come full circle-a turnaround he credits to his renewed relationship with Jesus Christ. In Sinner's Creed, Scott shares his story for the first time, from his fundamentalist upbringing, the rise and fall of CREED, and his ongoing battle with addiction, to his recommitment to Christ and the launch of his solo career. The result is a gripping memoir that is proof positive that God is always present in our lives, despite the colossal mess we sometimes make of them. ungekürzt. Language: English.

The Bare Essentials of Zika Virus , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 59min

Are you afraid of Zika virus? Do you still think it is spread primarily by mosquitoes? Are you aware that other animals harbor Zika? Did you know you can infect others months or even years later? Using current research and data on the outbreaks of the 1950s and 1970s, Dr. Maloney explains in simple terms how the spread of Zika has never been primarily by mosquitoes. They act as helpers to the human spread of the disease. Claims that the "mosquito line" will prevent anyone north or south of it from getting Zika ignores both sexual and bloodborne transmission. We will see cases far from any mosquito infestation. But Dr. Maloney paints a different picture of the severe side effect picture for infants and pregnant mothers. He lays out a case that Zika alone does not cause the well-publicized cases of microcephaly. Some mothers are safe, and others are at high risk. If simple testing was done, the unnecessary abortions taking place in many areas could be prevented. Zika is both more and less dangerous than we've been told. Learn quickly how to keep your family safe from Zika. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Christopher Maloney. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/068715/bk_acx0_068715_sample.mp3.

In a bizarre reversal of the Stockholm syndrome, one of the kidnappers falls "in love" with her, bringing her flowers, even hiring a mariachi group to serenade her.Deliver Us from Evil plunges into the dark world of crime, rage, and violence without mercy, culminating in a thrilling and truly unforgettable climax. ungekürzt.

American Sons: 40th Anniversary Edition: The Untold Story of the Falcon and the Snowman , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 822min

Forty years before the names Snowden and Manning entered the world's cultural lexicon, Christopher Boyce and Andrew Daulton Lee became America's youngest convicted spies - condemned to federal prison in 1977 for their roles in one of the most highly publicized espionage cases in Cold War history. Yet the story of their crime, as told in the book and movie The Falcon and the Snowman, was only the beginning. Locked away in some of the country's most violent and inhospitable prisons, Boyce and Lee survived repeated attempts on their lives and years of solitary confinement before a young and idealistic paralegal, Cait Mills, attempted to put them on the path to freedom. Diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer, Mills' determination to continue her work while battling the illness ultimately changed all three of their lives. American Sons: The Untold Story of the Falcon and the Snowman is an incredible true story told by the people who lived it - a narrative of survival against impossible odds, a case study on the indomitability of the human spirit, and a testament to the transformative power of forgiveness. ungekürzt.

Mothers of Massive Resistance: White Women and the Politics of White Supremacy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 703min

Why do white supremacist politics in America remain so powerful? Elizabeth Gillespie McRae argues that the answer lies with white women.Examining racial segregation from 1920s to the 1970s, Mothers of Massive Resistance explores the grassroots workers who maintained the system of racial segregation and Jim Crow. For decades in rural communities, in university towns, and in New South cities, white women performed myriad duties that upheld white over black: censoring textbooks, denying marriage certificates, deciding on the racial identity of their neighbors, celebrating school choice, canvassing communities for votes, and lobbying elected officials. They instilled beliefs in racial hierarchies in their children, built national networks, and experimented with a color-blind political discourse.With white women at the center of the story, the rise of postwar conservatism looks very different than the male-dominated narratives of the resistance to Civil Rights. Women like Nell Battle Lewis, Florence Sillers Ogden, Mary Dawson Cain, and Cornelia Dabney Tucker publicized threats to their Jim Crow world through political organizing, private correspondence, and journalism. Their efforts began before World War II and the Brown decision and persisted past the 1964 Civil Rights Act and anti-busing protests. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kirsten Potter.

Abducted!: Confrontations with Beings from Outer Space - Astonishing Accounts of Humans Captured by UFOs , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 561min

Patty Price reports that they "took her thoughts". Calvin Parker remembers being grabbed by a creature with pincerlike "hands" and "floated" into a spaceship. Carl Higdon was kidnapped by a bowlegged being who supplied him with food pills. In this startling and engrossing audiobook, experienced researchers Coral and Jim Lorenzen, directors of APRO (the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization), have pieced together the bizarre evidence and moving testimony of humans who have actually been taken aboard UFOs. Reports of unusual aerial phenomena date back to ancient times, but reports of UFO sightings started becoming more common after the first widely publicized US sighting in 1947. Many tens of thousands of UFO reports have since been made worldwide. Many sightings - and especially abductions - remain unreported due to fear of public ridicule. Social stigma still surrounds the subject of UFOs because most nations lack any officially sanctioned authority to receive and evaluate UFO reports. The Lorenzens have questioned the victims, probed their claims, tested them by hypnosis, and verified their statements by numerous polygraph tests. Where does the evidence point? For the whole strange and unnerving report, delve within this audiobook. The answers are here. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sangita Chauhan.

Carolina Israelite: How Harry Golden Made Us Care About Jews, the South, and Civil Rights , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 710min

This first comprehensive biography of Jewish American writer and humorist Harry Golden (1903-1981) - author of the 1958 national best seller Only in America - illuminates a remarkable life intertwined with the rise of the civil rights movement, Jewish popular culture, and the sometimes precarious position of Jews in the South and across America during the 1950s. After recounting Golden's childhood on New York's Lower East Side, Kimberly Marlowe Hartnett points to his stint in prison as a young man, after a widely publicized conviction for investment fraud during the Great Depression, as the root of his empathy for the underdog in any story. During World War II, the cigar-smoking, bourbon-loving raconteur landed in Charlotte, North Carolina, and founded the Carolina Israelite newspaper, which was published into the 1960s. Golden's writings on race relations and equal rights attracted a huge popular readership. Golden used his celebrity to editorialize for civil rights as the momentous story unfolded. He charmed his way into friendships and lively correspondence with Carl Sandburg, Adlai Stevenson, Robert Kennedy, and Billy Graham, among other notable Americans, and he appeared on the Tonight Show as well as other national television programs. Hartnett's spirited chronicle captures Golden's message of social inclusion for a new audience today. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kimberly Marlowe Hartnett.
