Crossing an Alpine Pass on Ski - Autobiographical Writings

Arthur Conan Doyle

Sinopse

Embark on a heart-pounding alpine adventure with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle as he swaps his deerstalker hat for skis in Crossing an Alpine Pass on Ski. In this vivid autobiographical account, Doyle recounts one of the earliest ski expeditions by an Englishman across the treacherous mountain passes of the Alps in the late 19th century. What begins as a daring physical challenge quickly unfolds into a thrilling tale of endurance, discovery, and sheer human will against nature's white-clad giants. With a mix of danger, exhilaration, and poetic awe for the snow-laden wilderness, Doyle not only captures the spirit of exploration but also introduces a generation to the seductive pull of the slopes. This narrative is a rare glimpse into the adventurer behind Sherlock Holmes—one willing to brave avalanches, blizzards, and bone-deep cold for the love of the unknown.

When God Responded - A Gay...

Anônimo

When faith, identity, and mortality collide, one man’s search for truth becomes a life-changing journey. 
In 1987, at the age of 37, I was confronted with a diagnosis that changed everything: AIDS. Suddenly, the questions I had wrestled with since college—about God, life after death, and my place in the world as a gay man—took on new urgency. 
This audiobook chronicles my spiritual quest through sacred places and moments of profound honesty. Along the way, I sought proof that God exists and that Heaven is real—and what I found was far more powerful: evidence that divine love reaches even the most uncertain souls. 
When God Responded: A Gay Man's Search for Affirmation is a deeply personal, brutally honest, and ultimately hopeful exploration of faith and identity. It’s for anyone who has ever doubted, searched, or yearned to believe that God embraces every seeker—no matter how imperfect.

Brown-Skinned Boy

Ira Harris

Ira Harris was taken from his family by representatives from the Board of Education trying to prove Negroes were inferior to whites during desegregation. 
His story happened in America during the turbulent 1960's. His mother was told she had freedom of choice to send him to any school she wanted! When the time came, his mother was told Negroes had no rights. He was forced to attend a white school because representatives from the Board of Education were trying to prove Negroes were inferior to whites in an effort to stop desegregation. 
This was done to them in America, and no one would help them! 
Today we are living in a time when Americans' rights are being challenged. Beware, Harris wouldn't want history to repeat itself and have the opportunity for education or their family's livelihood taken away from anyone because of their race!
