Rare Recording of Richard...

Richard Wurmbrand

Richard Wurmbrand (March 24, 1909 - February 17, 2001) was a Romanian Christian minister of Jewish descent. He was a youth during a time of anti-Semitic activity in Romania, but it was later, after becoming a believer in Jesus Christ as Messiah, and daring to publicly say that Communism and Christianity were not compatible, that he experienced imprisonment and torture for his beliefs. After serving five years of a second prison sentence, he was ransomed for $10,000. After spending time in Norway and England, he and his wife Sabina, who had also been imprisoned, emigrated to America and dedicated the rest of their lives to publicizing and helping Christians who are persecuted for their beliefs. He wrote more than eighteen books, translated into more than 60 languages, the most widely known being "Tortured for Christ." He founded the international organization, Voice Of The Martyrs, which aids Christians around the world who are persecuted for their faith.

Their joint memoir, Boundless Brothers: Two Warriors from the Heartland, One Mission for the Homeland, offers a fresh spin on a classic American motif of homegrown country boys who navigate the wild blue yonder of sky and sea. From sailing the world on one-hundred-thousand-ton aircraft carriers to flying supersonic combat missions, these two brothers share raucous boyhood gambols, vivid sea stories, and pursuits of identity and inspiration spanning decades of selfless military service.

From Ancient Arenas to Digital...

From Ancient Arenas to Digital Fields: The Evolution of Sports Through the Ages is a sweeping journey through the history of human competition, play, and physical expression. Tracing the path of sport from its ritualistic beginnings in early human societies to the dazzling world of esports today, this book explores how games have always been more than just recreation. They have been windows into culture, identity, politics, and the human spirit itself.
The story begins in the ancient world, where contests were rituals intertwined with spiritual life, survival skills, and community celebrations. The Greeks carried this vision further with the Olympics, merging athletic excellence with ideals of harmony, discipline, and divine honor. Rome added grandeur and spectacle, transforming sport into a mass performance staged in colossal arenas, where gladiators, charioteers, and emperors used entertainment as a tool for both unity and political power.
Moving into the Middle Ages, the book explores the martial sports of knights, jousts, and chivalry, alongside the rough folk games played in village squares. These events reveal how sport both reflected and shaped social order, from feudal loyalties down to peasant celebrations. The Renaissance and early modern eras introduced rules, codifications, and the beginnings of clubs that would transform chaotic pastimes into recognizable sports, laying the foundation for modern professionalism.
The Age of Empires and colonial expansion carried games across borders, introducing cricket, football, and polo to far-flung corners of the world, where they often became symbols of both imperial power and subtle resistance. By the nineteenth century, professionalism took root—clubs, leagues, and international teams turned sport into an institution that began to dominate cultural and national identities.
