Called to the Fire: A Witness for God in Mississippi , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 235min
Audie Award Finalist, Inspirational/Faith-Based Non-Fiction, 2014 The last place on earth young Charles Johnson wanted to go was Mississippi during the heat of the Civil Rights Movement. "Me and the Lord had a talk all the way all those miles. 'Lord, I have seen those dogs eatin' those people up! I have seen them lock the doors, Lord.' When I got there I looked for black people to be hangin' from street lights!" With deep faith and firm conviction he followed the call of God on his life and journeyed straight into his greatest fears. This is the true story of Dr. Charles Johnson, an African American preacher who entered Mississippi in 1961 during the summer of the Freedom Rides. Fresh out of Bible School Johnson hesitantly followed his Call to pastor in Mississippi, a hotbed for race relations during the early 1960s. Unwittingly thrust into the heart of a national tragedy, the murder of three Civil Rights activists, he overcame fear and adversity to become a leader in the Civil Rights movement. ungekürzt.

The Travels of Reverend Olafur Egilsson: The Story of the Barbary Corsair Raid on Iceland in 1627 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 397min
In the summer of 1627, Barbary corsairs raided Iceland, killing dozens of people and abducting close to 400 to sell into slavery in Algiers. Among those taken was the Lutheran minister Reverend Olafur Egilsson. Reverend Olafur wrote The Travels to chronicle his experiences both as a captive and as a traveler across Europe (he journeyed alone from Algiers to Copenhagen in an attempt to raise funds to ransom the Icelandic captives who remained behind). He was a keen observer, and the narrative is filled with a wealth of detail - social, political, economic, religious - about both the Maghreb and Europe. It is also a moving story on the human level: we witness a man enduring great personal tragedy and struggling to reconcile such calamity with his understanding of God. The Travels is the first-ever English translation of the Icelandic text. Until now, the corsair raid on Iceland has remained largely unknown in the English-speaking world. "It is wonderful that finally two scholars have taken the initiative to translate into English this important text." (Kirsten Wolf, University of Wisconsin-Madison) ungekürzt. Language: English.

Lia Faileas , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 463min
Queen Boudicca mourned for her tribe. Ancient Britton burned as Londinium was razed to sulfur and dirt. She escaped the battle with the Roman invaders in hot pursuit and two daughters by her side. Her copper hair caught the Celtic breeze. Ireland was her destination. Prasutagus, her king and husband was dead. Her flesh was raped via Roman conquest of her girls. Blood ran down her sword dripping with foreign DNA. Her lineage of Bryonny, Tempest, Aurelia, and Flannery would tell the tale of the two bracelets, a curse on Stonehenge cast by the Druids, love that would conquer, and a story with visions and historic remnants of her mark as royal blood. Historians would love her, hate her, and worship her existence. A courageous beauty with a cloak of many colors joined via Tia Tephi and ancestors in the line of King David. They journeyed with the Diaspora. These will all join into a force of the present, past, and future united within her ancestral heritage to dispel the ancient curse forever. ungekürzt.

Year of the Pig , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 622min
Year of the Pig is a personal account of one avid hunter's pursuit of wild pigs in eleven American states. Mark Hainds tied his mission to the Chinese calendar's Year of the Pig in 2007 and journeyed through longleaf forests, cypress swamps, and wiliwili forests in search of his prey. He used a range of weapons - black-powder rifle, bow and arrow, knife, and high-powered rifle - and various methods to stalk his quarry through titi, saw palmetto, privet hedge, and blue palms. Introduced pig populations have wreaked havoc on ecosystems the world over. Non-native to the Western Hemisphere, pigs originally arrived in the southeast with De Soto's entrada and in the Hawaiian Archipelago on the outriggers of South Pacific islanders. In America feral hogs are considered pests and invaders because of their omnivorous diet and rooting habits that destroy both fragile native species and agricultural cropland. Appealing to hunters and adventure readers for its sheer entertainment, Year of the Pig will also be valuable to farmers, land managers, and environmentalists for its broad information and perspective on the topic. ungekürzt.
