  ‘I couldn’t put it down’ —Sofie Laguna 
  This is a true story… 
  A young man heads off on a journey to find out if magic still exists in the world, to know its wonder, and to see if it might save him when his own life is unexpectedly at stake. 
  Instead of retreating after being deported from Mexico, or beaten up in Guatemala, he travels to the Caribbean where he meets a Rastafarian Don Juan who teaches him about the ‘natural mystic;’ a magical tradition that had travelled to the Caribbean centuries earlier with the slavery trade. Fate further propels his travels through the Americas and Europe to locate the source of this esoteric knowledge in Mother Africa, where his emerging mastery of mysticism is tested by the Sahara desert. He is imprisoned in Nigeria, and tortured, and then sold as a slave. 
  Magic is the story of an incredible journey, both physical and spiritual, that reverberates with literary voice and authenticity: the uniqueness of lived adventure and of a passionate heart and vision. Upon closing the last page of this book, we ache for the innocence to lose our way and travel deeper, to rediscover the savage but delicious nature of the miraculous in our own lives.

  ‘They try and say glory to God in the highest. I say it’s about glory to God in the lowest. If you can’t find God in the lowest, you’re wasting your time — and that’s where our protagonist finds his Magic — in prison cells, and as a slave in forgotten parts of Africa, in slums of New Orleans, and mosquito-ridden coastlines in the Caribbean. This is an engrossing tale of a year down the path less travelled. Warm, funny and intensely human, Magic is an inspiring, deeply-felt and painfully honest coming-of age adventure. It’s a story of a perilous spiritual search that transcends religion, and an authentic adventure. An impressive debut.' — Father Bob Maguire

  Aimee Semple McPherson was honored by Time magazine as one of 20th Century's 100 Women of The Year and was one of the most famous women of the 1920s and 1930s. 
  She was greeted by multitudes wherever she arrived and usually presented with the Key to the City. 
  Her meetings packed the largest indoor arenas. 
  And her visits were always deemed a blessing to every town she visited. 
  In this captivating autobiography, Aimee Semple McPherson vividly shares the experiences of her remarkable life from a milk pail on a Canadian farm to a world ministry; from the tragic loss of her husband while they served as missionaries in China, to her famous revivals, such as in Denver, where she drew over 500,000 people and the paralyzed, the blind, the deaf, and those suffering from the worst of maladies were healed through God's miraculous touch. 
  From the wealthy, healthy, and powerful to the downtrodden, invalid, and powerless; whether famous or unknown, role model to all or despised by society, after encountering Aimee Semple McPherson, everyone knew that she loved them—and that God loved them too. 
  This Is That provides the listener with the ultimate insider's view of her ministry and her revivals from small backwoods towns to the largest cities across the United States, Canada, and Australia, culminating with the opening of her famous Angelus Temple in Los Angeles and her ministry there which touched the lives of so many thousands of people. 
  After listening to This Is That, you may just find that her life has touched you too. 
  This Is That: The 1923 Autobiography of Aimee Semple McPherson is published by the Echo Park Evangelistic Association, the same organization she formed and through which she ministered. 
  Note: This audiobook contains only her autobiography and does not include her collected sermons and writings which are published in written form separately.

  Growing up in Montana, Chris La Tray always identified as Indian. Despite the fact that his father fiercely denied any connection, he found Indigenous people alluring, often recalling his grandmother's consistent mention of their Chippewa heritage. 
   
   
   
  When La Tray attended his grandfather's funeral as a young man, he finally found himself surrounded by relatives who obviously were Indigenous. "Who were they?" he wondered, and "Why was I never allowed to know them?" Combining diligent research and compelling conversations with authors, activists, elders, and historians, La Tray embarks on a journey into his family's past, discovering along the way a larger story of the complicated history of Indigenous communities—as well as the devastating effects of colonialism that continue to ripple through surviving generations. And as he comes to embrace his full identity, he eventually seeks enrollment with the Little Shell Tribe of Chippewa Indians, joining their 158-year-long struggle for federal recognition. 
   
   
   
  Both personal and historical, Becoming Little Shell is a testament to the power of storytelling, to family and legacy, and to finding home. Infused with candor, heart, wisdom, and an abiding love for a place and a people, Chris La Tray's remarkable journey is both revelatory and redemptive.
