Summary

The titanic task demanded such character and moral courage from the naval staff in general, and Lieutenant Rios in particular, to allow them to face the challenge successfully. Naval rescuers Rios and Roblero's spirit and their proactive attitude were quickly appreciated and assessed not only by myself, but also everyone who witnessed their conduct during the demanding and arduous training to which they were subjected by the rescuers' team leader, Ovidio Rodriguez, Codelco; as well as their professional work with the miners 620 meters deep. // Finally, such qualities and performance in the rescue would make naval rescuer Rios worthy of the Medal of Bravery awarded by the President of the Republic, in Valparaiso, on May 21st, 2011.

While reading the book Chile 33: Memories of a Rescuer by Lieutenant Roberto Rios Seguel, you will get to know both the man and the spirit of service to the institution he belongs to and surely you will share in my satisfaction of having met him.

    If Jenn had known her husband's family before they'd gotten married, there might never have been a wedding at all. 
    Now she has to confront the reality that her new family holds ignorant—and, at times, racist—views, and that spending time around them triggers her ingrained trauma of growing up Black in the U.S. 
    Why is it so hard for her to speak out against their prejudice? And, more importantly, what does it mean that her husband is silent in the face of all this? 
    This transformative memoir follows Jenn as she confronts the past, helps her husband on his own journey to racial awareness, and finds the inner strength to be an advocate for others. 
    Both harrowing and uplifting, this book is for anyone who has ever been othered, as well as those in close relationships with those from different walks of life. It challenges us all to confront our unconscious bias and seek true reconciliation.

    In Billion Dollar Loser (2020), Reeves Wiedeman chronicles the hectic rise and chaotic fall of WeWork under Neumann. Over ten years, Neumann wasted billions of dollars in investment funds on personal expenses, failed pet projects, and mismanagement. Refusing to see beyond his pride and ego, Neumann created a business cult with a promise of elevating the world’s consciousness, but his supposed tech giant collapsed so dramatically that he was ousted from the kingdom he had built for himself.

    A Confession is a beautiful and thorough dive into that timeless question, “What is the meaning of life?”.  After fifty-one years of life and during the height of his fame, Tolstoy began to question everything.  Through a creative and insightful analogy, Tolstoy depicts the crisis of reality that emerges when one questions the existence of God.  An existence that he had been taught since childhood and had followed along with his whole life.  He uses deduction and logic, rationality and reason, then allows for emotions and reactions and is ultimately able to land on the answers to his questions.  A decades long internal debate all laid out in this thoughtful and moving work.  Anyone who has struggled not only with faith, but with depression, personal identity, or existential confusion and contradictions will find a friend and ally in Leo Tolstoy.This series, published by ONE audiobooks, seeks to produce Classic Christian titles read by well known and loved Christian audiobook narrators.  ONE takes great care to cast these titles with readers who will provide an unmatched listening experience for these important works.Jonathan St. John brings his passion to every performance and is considered to be one of the top audiobook narrators in the industry.

    Haunted by memories of a Tanzanian childhood abruptly ended when her parents were deported, Jane Bryce returns in search of the past only to be ambushed by the present. As she retraces her own and her parents' footsteps she is surprised by unexpected connections, reaching back into the colonial past, and further, to a time of myth and legend. The key to understanding what holds these together comes to her in the form of 'zamani'—the Swahili sea of time where spirits inhabit places and landscape, memory animates the everyday and voices from the past speak to the present. Collectively these voices paint a picture of social and political change in Tanzania over the last 50 years, and invite the author to take her place in it.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    Still burning in silence. 
    “Jorge Madera, a disabled author living with ataxia and aphasia, delivers this symbolic and poetic audiobook through a digital voice named Zadkiel Adam — a narrator born from necessity, memory, and mercy.” 
    This is not a medical guide. 
    It is a cry from the ashes. 
    A written flame dictated slowly, painfully, and without apology. 
    The Quasimodo Effect: Still Burning in Silence is a soul-fire testimony from someone who woke up in a different body — and refused to disappear. These pages carry scars, dignity, and divine defiance. You will find moments of grief, spiritual stillness, and fierce love for a life misjudged but still burning. 
    From hospital silence to poetic defiance, Jorge invites you to witness what it means to be disabled and still divine. Still worthy. Still burning. 
    If your body has changed... 
    If your voice trembles... 
    If your truth has ever been erased... 
    Then this book was written for you. 
    From the wheelchair. 
    From the silence. 
    From the soul.

    Fifteen survivors of the September 11 attack on the World Trade Center share their dramatic stories of that fateful day. On September 11, 2001, tens of thousands in New York City awakened to a beautiful Tuesday morning. Just like any other day, they completed their morning routines and headed to work. For Erik Ronningen, that was his job with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey at the World Trade Center. Ronningen had a big, career-changing meeting scheduled for 9 A.M.  At 8:46 A.M., Erik was on the seventy-first floor of the North Tower when American Airlines Flight 11 struck the building. As acrid smoke filled the building, he made his way downstairs, hoping to get to the Security Command Center in the basement of the South Tower. However, he was unable to reach it and was the last person to exit the South Tower alive . . .  In From the Inside Out, Ronningen shares the story of his harrowing escape, along with stories from fourteen other survivors. These gripping accounts chronicle individuals displaying courage and heroism when their ordinary day quickly became a fiery scramble for survival.
