Sinossi

In "The Corner House Girls on a Tour," Grace Brooks Hill crafts an engaging narrative that invites readers into the lives of a group of spirited young girls as they embark on a journey of discovery and adventure. The book is characterized by its lively prose and vivid descriptions that not only detail the sites they visit but also explore themes of friendship, curiosity, and personal growth. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century America, Hill's work reflects the innocence and ambition of youth while also subtly addressing societal norms of the time. Grace Brooks Hill, an accomplished author of children's literature, draws upon her own experiences and the cultural milieu of her era to shape her characters and their adventures. Living through tumultuous changes in American society, Hill was known for her ability to combine entertainment with moral lessons, allowing her young readers to find themselves within her stories. Her keen understanding of youth dynamics and the importance of exploration is palpably woven throughout this tale, making it an authentic reflection of her understanding of childhood. I wholeheartedly recommend "The Corner House Girls on a Tour" to readers of all ages, particularly those who cherish stories filled with adventure and camaraderie. This book not only serves as a delightful escape into a bygone era but also resonates with timeless truths about friendship and adventure. It is a charming read that will inspire and entertain those yearning for exploration and a touch of nostalgia.

    SPEAKING OUT! - My life under...

    audioparadies, Chantal Frei

    Chantal Frei (pseudonym) who grew up in the French-speaking part of Switzerland, was only six years old when Satanists decided to make her into a Mother of Darkness. At that time, she had already survived massive torture – which was the reason why the cult considered her to be strong, smart, and intelligent enough to be trained by the Illuminati.
    Today, Chantal Frei is able to speak out about her experiences as a survivor of satanic ritual abuse, spiritual abuse, and mind control in order to help others by providing insight and knowledge. The information provided in this book is by far not complete as the author can only share what she herself has experienced and understood. She states: "More and more I realize, that with my book, I can only scratch the surface of this topic." Nonetheless, her personal account is unique and important. Chantal Frei is the first survivor with a German-speaking background who has been this deep in the inner circle of the Illuminati and has mustered enough courage to speak out about it. During cruel rituals, she met with heads of state, nobles, and celebrities. Therefore, she was taken to well-known places – such as the White House and a famous Spanish basilica – but also got into secret military facilities and a remote castle in Belgium. These places and people, some of which are also mentioned by other survivors, illustrate the terrifying extent of an abysmally dark phenomenon known as ritual abuse.
    Chantal Frei wants to help bring light into this darkness.

    The Quintessential Good...

    John Joseph Kelly—the quintessential Good Samaritan—changed the lives of thousands of people in need, first as a devoted Catholic priest; then as a champion of the poor and a father figure to troubled minority youth; and finally, as a one-on-one mentor offering hope and guidance to hardcore San Quentin inmates. 
     
     
     
    Kelly was a spiritual superstar and a role model for anyone who truly desired to make a difference in their own community. When he died in 2019 at age ninety, thousands who knew him recalled the credo that marked his life: "We need to take what God has given us, discover it, and use it for justice and good." 
     
     
     
    Father Kelly did exactly this when he traded his Catholic collar for a work shirt in 1979. He dropped his cassock in dramatic fashion after his final mass to pursue "justice and good" for the next forty years. Kelly showed the courage of his convictions when he struggled with Church bureaucracy, hypocrisy, internal politics, silk vestments, and processions, ultimately deciding he could help more people by being less faithful to Catholic dogma, and do more as a lay person devoted to the teachings of Jesus, Muhammad, and Krishna. Kelly then dedicated his life to inspiring others to become instrumental in helping thousands of people—many of them homeless—who were hungry and needed food, shelter, and adequate clothing.

    ‘From War to Eternity’ traces an extraordinary family story shaped by the forces of war, migration, and the enduring quest for identity. Sydney Doulames brings to life the journeys of her parents Anneliese, who came of age amid the ruins of postwar Germany, and Eduardo, who navigated the turbulence of wartime Philippines with determination and grace. Their separate struggles to survive hardship and loss ultimately led them across continents to find each other, forging an unlikely bond that would define generations. From the hunger and fear of a bombed-out German village to the crowded hospitals of the Pacific theater, this book illuminates how ordinary people rise to meet unthinkable challenges. When Anneliese and Eduardo build a life together, first in Guam and later in California, their marriage is tested by the scars of the past and the strains of cultural divides. Even as they face heartbreak and upheaval, their story reveals an unshakable devotion to family. With honesty and tender reflection, Sydney Doulames explores themes of love, belonging, and the ways our origins shape us. ‘From War to Eternity’ is both a tribute to her parents’ courage and a reminder that even the most fragmented histories can be outgrown into something lasting and meaningful.

    Ten Telecaster Tales - Liner...

    Ten Telecaster Tales remakes the idea of the “concept album.” It is music that arrives inside a book. It’s also, arguably, the most comprehensive attempt at liner notes in the history of electric instrumental fingerstyle guitar albums.
    		 
    In his latest offering, Rik Emmett delves into the creative process — the roots, influences, philosophy, and spirituality involved in writing and recording. Even the story behind these stories explores creativity. (Emmett dreamed of then commissioned a guitar — a one-of-a-kind Telecaster-style guitar — then wrote and recorded with and for it.)
    		 
    Playfully, beautifully, Ten Telecaster Tales lays bare an artistic journey in an act of discovery — that the storytelling inherent in writing good musical compositions translates into good storytelling about the process behind the songs, and how compositions turn into recordings. A generous amount of fairy-tale mythology is sprinkled throughout — despite the whole process being assimilated by digital technology. The notion of a “telecaster tale” implies something “vintage” at its heart, and it is humanity that glues the layers together.
    		 
    Principally, though, Ten Telecaster Tales is the next logical step for Emmett after publishing his memoir, Lay It On The Line. It represents the evolution of his life story into a combination of musical composition, guitar playing, and prose. After all, writing has always been the solid backbone and lifeline of his multi-faceted journey.
