Medgar Evers: He Taught His Kids to Crawl so We Could Stand (Volume 1) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 7min
“Crawling leads to walking, but to walk one must stand.” Medgar Evers: He Taught His Kids to Crawl so We Could Stand looks at moments in time - our history, racial past, even our current state of politics. It’s a riveting story, told in fittingly kid-friendly language, that explores how power and superiority corrupts everyone: those new to it and those resisting its loss. In Medgar Evers: He Taught His Kids to Crawl so We Could Stand, Katina Rankin teaches children that history’s mistakes can linger if we aren’t willing to stand up and tell the truth - that there will always be abuses of power unless we jointly take a knee to prove a point, and that the arc of the universe doesn’t bend toward justice unless we’re willing to do the work, even if it includes crawling to get the pendulum of justice to swing toward honesty. Each moment is filled with words of its era, with quotes intertwined into the conversational setting of a loving family’s home. The storytelling provides deeper insight for children than some history books. The author supplies an in-depth analysis of civil rights through a family’s dialogue of various aspects of the movement often just glossed over in school textbooks. Medgar Evers: He Taught His Kids to Crawl so We Could Stand also teaches kids now is always the time to do what’s right. It gives children hope, teaching them justice delayed is not justice denied. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Katina Rankin.

Dot.Bomb, Hörbuch, Digital, 352min
In 1999, at the pinnacle of dot.com fever, David Kuo was invited to walk through the magic portal. It was a huge Internet start-up called Value America, and in his new job as communications SVP, Kuo would spread their gospel: a new kind of retailing, linking customers directly to distributors or other middlemen. Ahead for Kuo lay the chance to be part of a new business paradigm. Not to mention the riches when his stock options bore fruit.Dot.Bomb is the amazing story of the Internet gold rush as it could only be told by an insider. David Kuo saw it all: the sky's-the-limit optimism, the hundreds of millions of dollars spent in a giddy grab for eyeballs and market share, the investors slavering to be on the inside, the belief that there really were new rules. He also saw what happened when gravity reasserted itself, Wall Street demanded results, and flaws and failures that had been glossed over suddenly loomed huge. In the blink of an eye, Value America crashed back to earth, filed for bankruptcy, and was gone. David Kuo's account of his days and nights at Value America captures with the intensity of a great novel the people who made this such a powerful experience with their incredibly hard work, their genuine belief, and their humor. Just as vividly it portrays their unbridled greed, wretched excesses, ego-driven blunders, and unmitigated power grabbing. Language: English. Narrator: J. David Kuo.

Book of the Watchers: From The Book of 1 Enoch , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 56min
Found in the Qumran caves of the Dead Sea Scrolls (Qumran Cave 4), and presumed to be written before BC 170, chapters 1-36 of 1 Enoch are also referred to as The Book of the Watchers. These passages are also known to incorporate portions of the Book of Noah. The theme of the Watchers is final judgement, and incorporates the expository background of one of the most spectacularly glossed-over, overlooked, and misunderstood Scriptures in the Bible - Genesis 6:1-4. The "sons of God" referred to in Genesis 6:2 are explained in detail in The Book of the Watchers. These Watchers were supposed to be watching the earth as part of their heavenly ministry, but instead, they transgressed and became fallen angels. How did they become fallen angels? They saw that women on earth were pleasant to look at and schemed/colluded to somehow incarnate themselves, (literally celestial or, dare we say, 'extraterrestrial' beings manifesting in some kind of physical form), in order to impregnate women and corrupt the bloodline of humans. The offspring of the Watchers (and their human mates) were what the bible calls "giants" or "Nephilim." These half-humans/half-fallen-angel hybrids were extremely wicked, and began eating everything and everybody! This is the reason, some scholars say, for God's sending the flood of Noah. Additionally, The Book of the Watchers outlines how these fallen angels corrupted mankind by teaching them forbidden knowledge of weapon-making, sorcery, witchcraft, astrology, and other forbidden technologies. Consequently, when the flood washed them all away, the disembodied spirits of the Nephilim became the unclean spirits (i.e. demons) we now have roaming the earth. (Luke 11: 24-26, Matthew 8:28-32). All of these things and more are outlined in The Book of the Watchers. We exhort you to keep your spiritual eyes, ears, and heart open as you dive into 'The Book o ungekürzt. Language: English.

Legendary Explorers: The Life and Legacy of Captain John Smith , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 66min
Includes quotes from Smith's accounts of his adventures. Explains the controversies and debates over Smith's relationship with Pocahontas. "Here every man may be master and owner of his owne labour and land.... If he have nothing but his hands, he may...by industrie quickly grow rich." (Captain John Smith) John Smith is one of the most common names in the English language and akin to the use of John Doe, but every Briton and American is familiar with the explorer and mercenary Captain John Smith, who helped found the first permanent British colony in the New World, at Jamestown, in 1607. From there, he went on to become the first Englishman to explore New England, and it was Smith who named the Chesapeake Bay. He wrote several accounts of his exploration and his time spent in the New World, becoming one of the first and most invaluable primary sources on European settlement in North America. In America, John Smith is better known for his association with Pocahontas, a Native American princess. She was the daughter of the paramount chief (mamanatowick) Powhatan, leader of an Algonquian-speaking native group in eastern Virginia. It was this group that Smith and the other English settlers came into contact with, and Smith credited her with saving him from being killed by the Native Americans. After that, Smith was able to establish relatively friendly relations and trade with the local inhabitants, ensuring Jamestown's survival. Subsequent retellings of the story have often fictitiously cast Smith and Pocahontas as lovers, and even husband and wife, portraying both characters in a more romantic - and positive - light. Smith's central role in the establishment of the British colonies has helped obscure the more controversial elements of his story, including his time as a mercenary in Turkey. Naturally, the conflicts between English settlers and the Native Americans are also glossed over. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Christopher Hudspeth.

The Birthday Gift Threesome: A Double Penetration Erotica Story , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 11min, (USK 18)
When Amber's boyfriend asks for her to find a second man so that he can have a double team threesome on his birthday, she's nervous. She gets up the courage to make it happen, though, and it's the most erotic and incredible thing she could ever imagine. Warning: This book contains very explicit descriptions of double penetration and mfm threesome sex. Only mature adults who will not be offended by such content should read this story. Here is a preview: She slipped on a white sundress that barely hung past her ass, no panties and no bra. If things went the way she expected, she would be bent over the couch and stuffed like a turkey. She ran a comb through her damp hair, pinned the sides back with clips and glossed her lips with a pale pink, cotton candy flavored gloss. Brian loved that flavor, and when she wore it, he would lick and suck her lips until no trace of it remained. She looked at the clock and giggled, Brian would be home soon. She texted Brandon and told him to get his over in thirty minutes. He replied instantly and said he was on his way. With the last detail taken care of, Amber sat down on the couch and waited for Brian to walk through the door. She heard his car pull into the driveway and she jumped up and ran to the door. The second he walked inside, she jumped in his arms, wrapped her legs around his waist and kissed him. "Whoa, seems I got here just in time huh?" Brandon asked. Amber broke the kiss and reached out her hand and rubbed Brandon's head. They walked inside and Brandon shut the door behind him. Amber looked at them and knew if she didn't start, the entire night would end up an utter flop. Her stomach flipped, she took in a deep breath and grabbed both of their cocks at the same time. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jennifer Saucedo.
