Synopsis

In "The Story of My Life," Geronimo offers a profound and personal chronicle that captures the tumultuous experiences of the Apache leader both as a warrior and as a man. Through a vivid narrative style that blends autobiographical reflection with a manifesto of resistance, Geronimo recounts his life from childhood in the Apache lands to his role in the fierce struggles against the encroachment of American settlers. The book serves as an essential historical document, reflecting the broader socio-political context of late 19th-century America, while employing a straightforward yet powerful prose that amplifies the emotional weight of his experiences. Geronimo, born Gokhlayi (meaning 'The One Who Yawns'), emerged as a formidable figure during a period marked by violent conflict and cultural upheaval. His deep connection to his heritage and relentless commitment to his people profoundly influenced his narrative, showcasing not only his resistance against oppression but also highlighting the spiritual and cultural values of the Apache. Geronimo's unique perspective allows readers to grasp the complexities of his struggles, providing insight into the broader Native American experience during a time of crisis. I highly recommend "The Story of My Life" to readers interested in authentic narratives of resilience and cultural identity. It is an essential read for those seeking to understand the nuances of Native American history and the enduring spirit of resistance against colonization. Geronimo's voice resonates powerfully, inviting readers to reflect on the implications of his story in contemporary discussions around identity, heritage, and justice.

    Adoniram Judson, a figure of intimidating success and legacy, receives a worthy telling of his story in this memoir by J. Clement.  Clement describes Judson’s thirst for theological knowledge, his understanding and acceptance of salvation, and his journey into and on the mission field.  It is detailed how he listened to the Holy Spirit’s call for him to heed the Great Commission and how, despite all legal and practical obstacles, he secured his way into the field as the first American foreign missionary.  After inspiring the creation of America’s first Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions and after struggling through the great pains of requesting aid and support from multiple countries, Judson then faced even greater challenges and dangers after arriving in the country of his calling.  Clement uses extracts from Judson’s own writing to reveal the man, his love for Christ, and the unimaginable sacrifices he suffered for the unreached and lost souls of Burma.This series, published by ONE audiobooks, seeks to produce Classic Christian titles read by well known and loved Christian audiobook narrators.  ONE takes great care to cast these titles with readers who will provide an unmatched listening experience for these important works.Graham Geisler brings his passion to every performance and is considered to be one of the top audiobook narrators in the industry.

    An exciting memoir of international Christian service in some of the world's most challenging hot spots. 8 hours of brilliant narration with an authentic Kiwi woman's voice. 
    What is life like for aid workers who gather from around the world to serve refugees who have fled their homes due to famine, political unrest, and disasters? 
    Kiwi nurse-midwife, Barbara Walker – who spent 20 years working for international aid agencies – shares her dramatic, heart-rending, and inspiring stories of the situations she faced and the people she sought to help. 
    From the Sakeo One Refugee Camp in Thailand, where she cared for those fleeing Pol Pot’s regime in Cambodia in a make-shift bamboo-framed field hospital, to her last placement in Mozambique that ended due to a death threat, Barbara’s Christian faith gave her strength and kept her focussed. 
    We also learn of Barbara’s later call to ordained ministry as a chaplain. 
    Barbara hopes that her story will inspire and encourage all who read it to think outside the square and seek to make a difference in the world in which we all live. 
    Post COVID-19, we all have a chance to move forward, working together to address the inequalities which she has seen around the world and here in her country of Aotearoa New Zealand. We cannot make changes alone, but by listening, sharing, building trust, and working in partnership, we can make a difference for all. It’s up to us all. 
    Praise for Purple Hands: 
    “You are in for a riveting read. Expect to laugh a lot and maybe cry a bit. Barbara, one of my former highly valued colleagues in Pakistan, is one of God’s more intrepid and dedicated servants.” Ruth Coggan MB, ChB, FRCOG, OBE, SQA 
    “Every now and then God sends into the world a special person, a high achiever with a great passion for demonstrating Christian work. Barbara is that person.” Rosemary Holt (Fellow aid worker)

    Holly's Hell is a remarkable story of trauma and redemption. 
    At the age of 29, Holly Deane-Johns was found guilty of attempting to post 15 grams of heroin to Australia from Bangkok. 
    She narrowly avoided the death penalty but received a 31-year prison sentence. 
    Holly spent seven years in a notorious Thai women’s prison, where staying alive was a daily struggle. 
    She learnt Thai and formed enduring friendships with fellow inmates, but faced heartbreak and anguish when some did not survive. 
    Holly overcame her drug addiction for good while she was in prison. 
    After a lengthy battle to obtain a prison transfer, Holly was transferred to a Perth prison in 2007, where she remained for another five years. 
    After her release in 2012, Holly was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder. 
    This is the first time she has shared an in-depth account of her life with the world, and it begins with a childhood home that turned violent and dysfunctional.
