    Amelia Earhart's name has become synonymous with courage, ambition, and mystery. As one of the most iconic figures of the 20th century, her groundbreaking achievements in aviation and her tragic disappearance continue to captivate historians, researchers, and the general public. Earhart’s life was a tapestry of pioneering success and relentless determination, making her a symbol of human resilience and curiosity. 
      
    Born in 1897, Earhart grew up with a passion for adventure, defying the gender norms of her time. Her fascination with flying began during her twenties, and she quickly rose to prominence as an aviator. From being the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean to setting numerous records for altitude and speed, Earhart consistently pushed the boundaries of what women could achieve. Beyond her aerial accomplishments, she was also a writer, lecturer, and staunch advocate for women’s rights, inspiring generations to dream beyond societal expectations. 
      
    Yet, it is not just Earhart’s achievements that cement her legacy. The enduring mystery surrounding her disappearance in 1937 during an attempt to circumnavigate the globe has kept her story alive in a way few others have achieved. Earhart and her navigator, Fred Noonan, vanished somewhere over the Pacific Ocean, sparking one of the largest search efforts in history. Despite extensive naval and aerial searches, no definitive trace of Earhart or her aircraft was ever found, leaving room for endless speculation and theories.

    Known as the godfather of the civil rights movement, Howard Thurman served as a spiritual adviser to Martin Luther King Jr. and other leaders and activists in the 1960s. Thurman championed silence, contemplation, common unity, and nonviolence as powerful dimensions of social change. But Dr. Lerita Coleman Brown didn't learn about him during her years of spiritual-direction training. Only when a friend heard of her longing to encounter the work of Black contemplatives did she finally learn about Thurman, his mystical spirituality, and his liberating ethic. 
     
     
     
    In What Makes You Come Alive, Brown beckons listeners into their own apprenticeship with Thurman. Brown walks with us through Thurman's inimitable life and commitments as he summons us into centering down, encountering the natural world, paying attention to sacred synchronicity, unleashing inner authority, and recognizing the genius of the religion of Jesus. We learn from Thurman's resilience in the psychologically terrorizing climate of the Jim Crow South, his encounters with Quakers and with Mahatma Gandhi, and his sense of being guided by the Spirit. Each chapter illuminates an aspect of Thurman's work and includes reflection questions and spiritual practices.

    Paddy Gower has spent decades telling New Zealanders' stories. Now, he's telling his. 
    Paddy Gower has never been afraid to stand up for what he believes in. From his teenage and university years where he learnt to defend himself from cruel bullying about his looks, to the pressure-cooker years he spent in the Press Gallery holding politicians to account, to advocating for the families of the Christchurch terrorist attacks and for sufferers of cystic fibrosis, he has scrapped and fought for the truth and justice for others. 
     
    This unrelenting drive has come at a cost - culminating in a serious alcohol addiction, anger issues at times, and bouts of anxiety and depression. Ironically, it was through his own work - a documentary about the outsized role that alcohol plays in many Kiwis' lives - that Paddy's wake-up moment came. It led him to quit the booze for good, a decision he has never regretted despite the knockbacks that kept coming, including the shock of the decision to close down the entire Newshub news division. 
     
    Funny, brutally honest and packed with amazing yarns and incredible stories from a huge and varied career, this is Paddy Gower, unleashed.

    In the October 2021 Judgment of Napa, TOR Cabernet was judged to be #1, outscoring legendary Bordeaux châteaux, Napa Valley, and international peers by leading critics and sommeliers. TOR wines, coveted by connoisseurs worldwide, received seven perfect 100-point ratings from leading critics for their 2018 Napa Valley wines.
