Sinopsis

In 1913, deep in the red soil of Oklahoma, a twelve-year-old Black girl struck oil—and changed history. Sarah Rector’s discovery made headlines across America, but her sudden wealth came with danger, prejudice, and a fight for control over her own life. At a time when racial segregation ruled the land, Sarah’s fortune became both a blessing and a target. Politicians, opportunists, and strangers all wanted a piece of her newfound riches, but Sarah refused to be broken.
 
This is the untold, true story of a girl who turned a moment of luck into a legacy of courage. From courtroom battles to public scrutiny, from childhood dreams to millionaire reality, Sarah’s Oil reveals how one determined young girl defied the odds, shattered racial barriers, and claimed her rightful place in history.
 
If you think you know the American Dream, think again—Sarah Rector lived it before she was old enough to vote.
 
Discover the inspiring journey that still echoes today. Read Sarah’s Oil now and witness the power of resilience against all odds.

    It is said that books are written to bring sunshine into our dull, grey lives – to show us places we want to escape to, lives we want to live, people we want to love. But there are also stories that can only be found in the deepest, darkest corners of the library. Stories about the unexplained, of lost souls, of things that go bump before the silence. Before the screaming. 
    And some stories just disappear. Stories printed in old newspapers, broadcast live on the wireless, sometimes not even published at all – these are the stories you cannot find on even the dustiest of library shelves. 
    Ghosts from the Library resurrects forgotten tales of the supernatural by some of the most acclaimed mystery authors of all time. From Arthur Conan Doyle and John Dickson Carr to Agatha Christie and Daphne du Maurier, this spine-chilling anthology brings together thirteen uncollected tales of terror, plus some additional surprises. 
    Close the windows. Draw the curtains. Just don’t let the lights go out… 
    In Ghosts from the Library, Tony Medawar brings together the best of the supernatural mysteries from the Golden Age. These traditional thrillers, filled with horror and detective elements, are sure to keep you on the edge of your seat, making it a top choice for any crime fiction enthusiast.

    Jesus revealed himself to a young, brash, Pakistani Muslim. But he didn’t just reveal himself; he turned Naeem Fazal’s world upside down. 
    Moving from Kuwait to Charleston, South Carolina, had been an adventure. Surrendering his life to Jesus Christ was actual treason. And yet, Jesus brought Fazal the most powerful peace he had ever experienced: “It filled the room. It grew roots in my heart and in my soul. It intoxicated me.” 
    In this riveting memoir, Fazal describes how God used extraordinary means to bring a young, underachieving, Muslim immigrant through Desert Storm, across the oceans, into college, and ultimately to pastor a Christian church in North Carolina. He demonstrates that no character flaw, no distance, no cultural chasm is too great for Jesus to reach across. 
    Fazal is candid about his shortcomings, practical about the challenges of cross-cultural engagement, and ultimately inspiring that God is capable of far more than we have grown to expect. He says, “Jesus consistently, stubbornly refuses to limit himself to my expectations. Which makes getting to know him an unfolding adventure of epic proportions.” 
    Whether you are a Muslim, Christian, or neither, Ex-Muslim makes a compelling case that life with Jesus Christ is a true adventure. 
    Photos from Naeem’s life are included in the audiobook companion PDF download.

    A fascinating self-portrait of one of the greatest entertainers of Hollywood’s golden age Film star. Cabaret sensation. Recording artist. Writer. Marlene Dietrich was nothing short of enchanting—and remains so as she chronicles her fabulous rise to stardom in Marlene. From her early career in Germany as a chorus girl to her breakout role as Lola in The Blue Angel to her courageous wartime tours, Dietrich recounts a life that captivates on the page just as she smoldered on the screen. She writes passionately of her friends—including Charlie Chaplin, Orson Welles, and Edith Piaf, among many others—and she shares memories of what she calls her greatest accomplishment: entertaining the Allied troops during World War II. A sustained expression of her bold, sophisticated style, Marlene reminds us why Dietrich remains an international icon and a true Hollywood legend.
