  Shareware Heroes is a comprehensive, meticulously researched exploration of an important and too-long overlooked chapter in video game history 
   
   
   
  Shareware Heroes: The renegades who redefined gaming at the dawn of the internet takes listeners on a journey, from the beginnings of the shareware model in the early 1980s, the origins of the concept, even the name itself, and the rise of shareware's major players—the likes of id Software, Apogee, and Epic MegaGames—through to the significance of shareware for the "forgotten" systems—the Mac, Atari ST, Amiga—when commercial game publishers turned away from them. 
   
   
   
  This book also charts the emergence of commercial shareware distributors like Educorp and the BBS/newsgroup sharing culture. And it explores how shareware developers plugged gaps in the video gaming market by creating games in niche and neglected genres like vertically-scrolling shoot-'em-ups (e.g. Raptor and Tyrian), or racing games (e.g. Wacky Wheels and Skunny Kart), or RPGs (God of Thunder and Realmz), until finally, as the video game market again grew and shifted, and major publishers took control, how the shareware system faded into the background and fell from memory.

  The Deaf Girl - A Memoir of...

  An inspiring story of hearing loss and hope from The Bachelor’s first deaf contestant 
   
  Abigail Heringer made her television debut as an instant fan-favorite on season 25 of The Bachelor. Stepping out of the limousine, she approached her bachelor with a playful declaration: she would be staring at his lips all night for two compelling reasons—her profound deafness since birth, and because he had some nice lips! 
   
  But Abigail’s journey wasn’t always marked by such confidence. Growing up deaf and introverted, she dreaded being the center of attention, fearing her disability would burden those around her. Among her hearing peers, she felt like an outsider, simply labeled as “the deaf girl.” And after receiving a cochlear implant at the age of two, she subsequently struggled to find her place in the Deaf community too. Caught in between two worlds and grappling to define her identity as a deaf woman, Abigail felt like she belonged in neither. 
   
  Supported by her family, particularly her deaf older sister Rachel, Abigail has come to understand that while being deaf is part of her identity, it doesn’t define her. Throughout her journey, marked by challenges and adversity, Abigail has grown into her own strongest advocate, discovering a new voice that is confident, fearless, and empowered—a voice that enables her to proudly reclaim the title of “the deaf girl” she once resisted and rewrite it as a testament to her resilience and strength. 
   
  Hopeful, vulnerable, and uplifting, The Deaf Girl shares Abigail’s journey of navigating life with a profound hearing loss and her transformation from merely accepting her disability to embracing it wholeheartedly. This memoir serves as an inspiring reminder for anyone who has ever felt like an outsider or struggled to embrace their differences, showcasing that every voice is worthy of being heard.  
   
  “The Deaf Girl is an incredibly moving and uplifting memoir. Abigail’s heartfelt and sincere reflections on growing up as an outsider and her journey to embrace her identity reveal a remarkable tale of resilience and courage … An inspiring book filled with hope.”—Cat Mathes, President & CEO of John Tracy Center

  Christian Ethics Collection...

  What defines faith in the face of doubt? How do we reconcile human suffering with the existence of a loving God? And what is the essence of spiritual truth in a skeptical world? These timeless questions lie at the heart of Christian Ethics Collection: Signature Classics, a profound and thought-provoking audio anthology.
  Bringing together three literary giants, this collection is more than a discourse on religion; it is a journey into the human soul, wrestling with the complexities of belief and morality. In A Confession, Leo Tolstoy peels back the layers of his own existential crisis, charting a path from despair to spiritual awakening. With unflinching honesty, the great Russian author challenges conventional dogma and searches for meaning in a world often indifferent to human suffering.
  G.K. Chesterton's Orthodoxy offers a spirited defense of Christianity that dazzles with paradox, wit, and logic. Chesterton's playful yet piercing intellect transforms abstract theology into a vibrant exploration of wonder and reason, reframing skepticism as an opportunity for deeper faith.
  Finally, C.S. Lewis's The Problem of Pain confronts one of humanity's most difficult questions: why must we suffer? Combining rational analysis with profound empathy, Lewis bridges the gap between intellectual inquiry and emotional solace, offering a perspective on pain that is as challenging as it is comforting. Together, these works invite listeners into a dialogue that spans continents, centuries, and spiritual traditions. Whether you are a seeker, skeptic, or believer, this collection will ignite reflection and inspire a deeper understanding of the ethical and emotional dimensions of faith.
  Contents:
  1. A Confession by Leo Tolstoy,
  2. Orthodoxy by G. K. Chesterton, 
  3. The Problem of Pain by C. S. Lewis.

  A NATIONAL BESTSELLER! 
  “Nicole Avant gives a raw and courageous look into how she found the light in her darkest moment. She reminds us that grief is different for everyone, and we have the power to move through it in our own unique way.” —Cleo Wade, New York Times Bestselling Author 
  “A love song to a great woman told through the eyes of the great woman she created.”—Tyler Perry 
  The USA Today bestseller, a spirit-lifting memoir on how to turn pain into purpose, how to live always in gratitude, and how to face down tragedy and turn it into love. 
  Nicole Avant—diplomat, philanthropist, filmmaker—grew up surrounded by some of the most extraordinary artists of our time: Bill Withers, Oprah Winfrey, Quincy Jones, Sidney Poitier. Her parents—entertainment mogul, Clarence Avant, and legendary philanthropist, Jacqueline Avant—turned their home into a place of refuge and inspiration for a generation of geniuses. Nicole drew on that magical upbringing to create a stellar career in the music business, become the U.S. ambassador to the Bahamas, and produce critically acclaimed award-winning films and documentaries. Then, an unthinkable tragedy struck: her mother was fatally shot in December 2021. 
  In this searing and inspiring memoir, Nicole turns the pain of her family’s loss into the fuel that pushes her forward into an even more committed life of love and activism: “We can’t banish evil,” she writes. “We have to learn to swim through trauma and live for all of those who can’t.” Turning tragedy into inspiration, Think You’ll Be Happy—her mom’s last words to Nicole—provides a roadmap for anyone working to remain positive and anchored in hope.
