  Earphones Award Winner from Audiofile Magazine!Stany Nyandwi’s gift for communicating with chimpanzees is so special that world-renowned primatologist Dr. Jane Goodall has called him a “chimpanzee whisperer.” His skills and devotion to these creatures—our closest living relatives, with whom we share 98.7 percent of our DNA—have earned him international awards and sent him on travels within Africa and around the world. But he began life in poverty, born and raised in a dirt-floor, straw-roofed hut in rural Burundi. The Chimpanzee Whisperer is the story of his astonishing life journey."Narrator Dion Graham so inhabits the memoir that listeners easily could swear he's the author. He adopts an accent that to Western ears sounds authentic without affectation or loss of understanding. A truly marvelous pairing." - Audiofile MagazineReceiving only an elementary education before he quit school, Stany Nyandwi began caring for orphaned and rescued chimps in Burundi. When the country descended into civil war and genocide, he was forced to flee with the chimps and endured long separation from his family. Continuing to work with and learn about chimpanzees in Kenya, Uganda, and later South Africa, he made himself into an incomparable authority.His memoir has adventure, danger, and many unique and touching stories about chimpanzees that show his bond with and understanding of them. As told to award-winning author David Blissett, it reveals a remarkable man who has refused to let circumstances defeat him. Conditioned by hate, wounded by loss, he has lived for love, faith, and compassion, giving new life, as Dr. Jane Goodall writes in her foreword, “to so many chimpanzees whose families, like his own, were torn apart by violence.”

  This Is My New Foundation: A Memoir of Loss, Faith, and Redemption — Based on a True Story 
  When life collapses without warning, what do you build from the rubble? 
  This Is My New Foundation is the powerful true story of Bill Bailey, a man shattered by crisis, grief, and the quiet devastations no one sees coming, and the extraordinary journey that led him from breaking point to breakthrough. 
  From the hard-edged streets of Detroit to the disciplined halls of West Point, from the chaos of military service to the loneliness of personal loss during the COVID-19 pandemic, Bailey’s path is marked by struggle, resilience, and the fierce will to keep going. What looked like the end became the beginning of something transformative: a testament to survival, faith, and the unshakeable strength found only when everything else falls away. 
  Told with honesty, humility, and a steady undercurrent of hope, this memoir resonates with anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed by circumstance or overlooked in their own story. Bailey shows us that pain can be a teacher, faith can be a blueprint, and healing can begin, even in silence. 
  This book is a reminder for all who are searching, rebuilding, or trying to rise again: 
  You don’t rebuild with bricks. 
   You rebuild with truth, faith, and a new foundation.

  Through the Valley is the captivating memoir of the last US Army soldier taken prisoner during the Vietnam War. 
   
   
   
  In 1971 William Reeder was a senior captain on his second tour in Vietnam. He had flown armed, fixed-wing OV-1 Mohawks on secret missions deep into enemy territory in Laos, Cambodia, and North Vietnam, on his first tour. He returned as a helicopter pilot eager to experience a whole new perspective as a Cobra gunship pilot. Believing that Nixon's Vietnamization would soon end the war, Reeder was anxious to see combat action. To him, it appeared that the Americans had prevailed, beaten the Viet Cong, and were passing everything over to the South Vietnamese Army so that Americans could leave. 
   
   
   
  Less than a year later, while providing support to forces at the besieged base of Ben Het, Reeder's chopper went down in a flaming corkscrew. Though Reeder survived the crash, he was captured after evading the enemy for three days. He was held for weeks in jungle cages before enduring a grueling forced march on the Ho Chi Minh Trail, costing the lives of seven of his group of twenty-seven POWs. Imprisoned in the notorious prisons of Hanoi, Reeder's tenacity in the face of unimaginable hardship is not only a captivating story, but serves as an inspiration to all.

  What the Lives of 5 Puritan Women Teach about Holy Living and Devotion to God
