The Sealed Train

Stefan Zweig

Lenin's journey in a sealed train took place in April 1917 during the First World War. The journey took Vladimir Ilyich Lenin together with other emigrants from Swiss exile through the German Reich via Scandinavia to Petrograd, today's Saint Petersburg. The "sealed train" was only used on the German part of the route. Lenin's arrival in Russia led to the 1917 revolution and the peace treaty between Russia and Germany in March 1918.

Hope Lies Ahead - Encouragement...

James Banks, Geoffrey Banks

No prodigal is beyond the reach of God.   Do you have a child who has walked away from Jesus? Or have you walked away from Him yourself? Hope Lies Ahead captures the candid journey of a prodigal son’s return, written from the unique perspective of both the father who prayed and the son who struggled. Told together, their story will encourage you through the honesty of their pain and their compelling experience of God’s redemption.    Amid the heartache of watching his teenage son self-destruct and the realization that all he could do was pray, pastor James Banks wrote the popular book Prayers for Prodigals. At a low point, Geoffrey Banks recognized that life could be better, and he sensed Jesus calling him back. Now, Hope Lies Ahead tells the powerful story of God’s faithfulness to answer prayer and of the healing found in Him.    No matter what you’re struggling with—whether it’s you or a child who has abandoned faith or faces addiction or prison—you are not alone. There is hope in Jesus, who makes all things new.

Nazi Mind Control

Raphael Terra

This audiobook has been recorded using Text to speech (TTS). 
 
In the 1930's an entire nation was brainwashed. It was manipulated by masters of propaganda and the arcane arts. The result was the deaths of millions of people. The world was changed in just a few short years. 
 
The men behind this massive scheme were members of the most evil and vile of political parties ever to have existed. We know them as the Nazis. 
 
Their purpose was to bring about the rise of a so-called Aryan race. A race that would rule the world for a thousand years. This would be the third reich. 
 
In-order to see the fulfilment of their grand scheme they needed to eradicate certain races from the globe and subjugate others. In-order to achieve this, they needed millions of people to believe and follow them and only them. And so they created a messiah, a God on Earth. His name was Adolf Hitler and he would become the master of manipulating the hearts and souls of man. 
 
From mass hypnosis to blatant propaganda, from control of the media to eradicating the opposition. All methods were employed. 
 
This is the story of how that incredible goal was actually brought to fruition and the methods used to control the minds of men. This is the story of Nazi Propaganda.
