  This audiobook is a continuation of The Oberlin-Wellington Rescue. Circumventing the Ohio statues to punish participants in a slave rescue mission is the theme of this astonishing narration. Based on the actual trial from the Oberlin Wellington Rescue, courtroom corruption will be brought to light. Confirmed historical documentation characterized in this audiobook contradicts a major theory surrounding ," The Oberlin Wellington Rescue" by most historians. A more in depth legal look takes place on the prosecution of Simeon Bushnell, an alleged participant in the rescue mission testimonies, and the verdict. Like the audiobook, "The Oberlin Wellington Rescue", the narrator employs multiple character voices to give the listener a sense of what it was like to be at the trial in Cleveland, Ohio in the year 1859. History enthusiast of the Oberlin Wellington Rescue will find this extraordinary event packed with legal insight. And finally, institutionalized racism, and a blatant disregard for the divine law by the judicial system in 19th century Cleveland, Ohio is uncovered.

  Is this country finally leaving Trump behind? Critically acclaimed author, Brenda Peterson explores the End Times for Trump. She imagines a future beyond this divisive president—and a possible dialogue to restore our faith in ourselves and our shared country. Trump’s presidencies are a tribulation for many. Now, Trump faces his own tribulations. This unholy man launched a holy war, crashed the global economy, alienated allies, and finally his Religious Right faithful by posing as Christ. Drawing from her darkly comic memoir, I Want to Be Left Behind: Finding Rapture Here on Earth, nature writer and novelist, Peterson, tells inspiring stories of the spiritual side of politics. She asks for a deeper discussion of the “God on our side” warrior ethic. With tender humor, she engages with Rapture believers who eagerly anticipate Armageddon, and she holds out hope for healing from a chaotic and polarizing decade too long shadowed by Trump.

  The temple is packed. "It stinks in here," says the master in English. "You mustn't do any more prostrations, or else you'll have to open the windows." A tall, skinny steward discreetly points out that it's pouring rain, and that perhaps this isn't entirely appropriate. The master then grabs him by the hair and shakes him back and forth. "Who are you to judge? I'm your master, you're my slave. Ah, it may not be politically correct with you Westerners, but in Tibet it's like that. You have to submit totally. You must never challenge a great master.
  Anthropologist Marion Dapsance conducts the first field survey of Buddhism in the West, delving into the heart of a hijacked religion that leaves you speechless: sectarian organization, sexual aberrations, financial pyramids, hierarchical humiliations.
