Sinopse

William Bradford's 'Of Plymouth Plantation' is a foundational text in American literature, chronicling the experiences of the Pilgrims as they establish a New World colony. Written in a reflective and sometimes poetic prose style, the narrative interweaves themes of faith, perseverance, and communal identity, providing an intimate portrayal of the struggles and triumphs faced by these early settlers. Bradford's meticulous records also contextualize the socio-political landscape of the early 17th century, offering insights into the religious dissent that propelled the Pilgrims to America, as well as the complex interactions with Indigenous populations. Bradford, who sailed on the Mayflower and served as Governor of Plymouth Colony for several terms, was intimately involved in the trials and triumphs of the Pilgrims. His Puritan convictions deeply influenced his writing, and his commitment to documenting the colony's history stemmed from a desire to preserve their legacy for future generations. Bradford's firsthand experiences granted him unique insights into the spiritual and communal questions facing the settlers as they endeavored to forge a new life in an often unforgiving environment. 'Of Plymouth Plantation' is essential reading for anyone interested in the roots of American history and literature. It not only captures the spirit of the Pilgrims' journey but also serves as a profound meditation on faith, governance, and survival. Scholars, students, and general readers alike will find invaluable lessons in resilience and community intertwined within Bradford's richly detailed narrative.

    Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and narrated by Matthew Schmitz. 
    Joseph Campbell was more than a scholar—he was a storyteller of the human soul, a guide through the myths that shape our lives, and a seeker of the eternal truths hidden within every culture. His words resonate not just as academic insight, but as living wisdom, illuminating the path for those who dare to follow their bliss. 
    This audiobook is not merely a collection of quotes; it is an invitation—to embark on the Hero’s Journey, to see the patterns that unite all myths, and to recognize the divine adventure unfolding within your own life. Campbell’s insights draw from the ancient and the modern, the East and the West, weaving a tapestry of meaning that transcends time and place. 
    Through his words, we discover that mythology is not a relic of the past, but a mirror reflecting our deepest desires, fears, and aspirations. We are reminded that every struggle, every trial, and every transformation is part of a universal story—one that we are all living. 
    Let these words be a guide. Whether you are standing at the threshold of your own adventure, searching for deeper meaning, or simply seeking inspiration, Campbell’s voice echoes through time to remind us: 
    "Follow your bliss, and doors will open where there were only walls." 
    Now, let the journey begin. 
    This audiobook includes an "ambient version" set to meditative music for your listening pleasure.

    Embrace the beauty and challenges of transracial adoption.Being an adoptive parent is hard enough. But when your family is multiracial, things get even trickier. Parenting transracially doesn’t come naturally, nor does it just happen with time. Love is essential—yet by itself, love isn’t enough. Cross-cultural parenting also takes intentionality, listening, learning, growing, repenting, changing . . . then starting all over and doing it again. It’s hard work! And yet, when an adoptive family honors the ethnic heritages of their children, the whole family—as well as the watching world—gets to see the beauty of a gloriously creative God.In It Takes More Than Love, Brittany Salmon shares her own family’s story of transracial adoption and offers a biblically-based guide for others following the same path. Brittany recognizes that we live in divided times and there are extra challenges whenever race is part of the conversation. But with wise insight and hard-won experience, she provides guidance about topics such as:Maintaining a Gospel perspective throughout the journeyCelebrating your child’s history and heritageConfronting racismResponding to comments about your familyAvoiding pitfalls in adoptionHelping your kids feel represented in your home and community 
    No one is promising transracial adoption will be easy—least of all Brittany! Yet the extra effort is balanced by a beauty that images our eternal destiny. Until the day God makes all things new, the welcoming an inclusive transracial family can help fulfill Jesus’s words, “on earth as it is in heaven.”

    Brent Maher, who has produced seven Grammy Award winning records and over twenty #1 singles has written this musical novel, “Night of the Orphan Train”, bringing to life the little-known story of 250,000 homeless orphans who were swept off the streets of New York City and shipped off in boxcars to every state in the union from 1854 until the early 1920s. Songs weave in and out of the saga and help to tell the story of three of these children, who we meet around the age of 11. Caroline, a young girl far older than her years would suggest, Billy, who has an unshakeable sense of right and wrong, and Jacob, whose heart is as big as the moon. We follow their journeys from their childhood to young adulthood with the Orphan Trains, World War I, and Angels Unawares profoundly impacting each of their lives.
