  Through the centuries, the world has been witness to an unbroken trail of heroes--men and women who braved privation, danger, and death to bring the light of Jesus Christ to the darkest corners of the earth. Some are well known, others long forgotten, but all belong to the same indomitable band of torch-bearers. Join a few of these heroes as they face cannibals, battle slave traders, and care for sick enemies, always with one mission at the forefront--to serve their Lord and bring others into His light. (Summary by BookAngel7)

The writer, with his wife, daughter, and sister-in-law, evacuated their apartment near downtown Miami and drove to a friend's concrete-block house about five miles inland. The worst of the storm struck just 10 miles farther south. In the end, Hurricane Andrew severely damaged 300 square miles, with about 100 square miles blasted or simply gone. Fifteen people were killed that night by the storm. This selection is part of the full length audiobook, "Storm: Stories of Survival From Land and Sea."

  The award-winning memoir of life in an LA street gang from the acclaimed Chicano author and former Los Angeles Poet Laureate: “Fierce, and fearless” (The New York Times).   Luis J. Rodríguez joined his first gang at age eleven. As a teenager, he witnessed the rise of some of the most notorious cliques in Southern California. He grew up knowing only a life of violence—one that revolved around drugs, gang wars, and police brutality. But unlike most of those around him, Rodríguez found a way out when art, writing, and political activism gave him a new path—and an escape from self-destruction.  Always Running spares no detail in its vivid, brutally honest portrayal of street life and violence, and it stands as a powerful and unforgettable testimonial of gang life by one of the most acclaimed Chicano writers of his generation.  This ebook features an illustrated biography of Luis J. Rodríguez including rare images from the author’s personal collection.

  KI Longfellow Stanshall is the brilliant, and yes, controversial, author of several internationally best selling books. She is also a prolific play-write, screenwriter, theatrical producer, soldier for women’s rights, world traveler, and oh by the way, the second wife of the late Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band’s iconic, singer, composer and frontman, Vivian Stanshall.In this one of a kind, audio encounter between Ms Longfellow and actor, author and music historian, Geoffrey Giuliano, the listener is afforded the rare opportunity to go deep inside the head and the heart of one of the most important and forceful female voices of our time on the subjects of art, culture, her turbulent life and times, and oh by the way, her amazing, almost otherworldly relationship with the great poet laureate of the 1960s, 70s, 80s and beyond, renaissance man, Vivian Stanshall.This is not to minimize the fact the obvious direction of this unexpected audio documentary is Ki’s decades long love affair with Vivian, rather, to truly enter into the deeper level of these remarkable conversations you must understand that Ki and Viv are both, in their own way, important and timely artists. Take heed, Ms Longfellow is no air head rock groupie, or pop band hanger on, but rather, an important voice in her own right.To experience this, sometimes rough and ready interview, is to come away knowing far more about Vivian Stanshall as a man, lover, father and artist than any fan, follower, acolyte, or devotee might ever hope to expect.
