    Now the Netflix limited series Unbelievable, starring Toni Collette, Merritt Wever, and Kaitlyn Dever.Two Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists tell the riveting true crime story of a teenager charged with lying about having been raped — and the detectives who followed a winding path to arrive at the truth. “Gripping.... [with a] John Grisham-worthy twist.” (Emily Bazelon, New York Times Book Review, Editors’ Choice)On August 11, 2008, 18-year-old Marie reported that a masked man broke into her apartment near Seattle, Washington, and raped her. Within days police and even those closest to Marie became suspicious of her story: details of the crime didn't seem plausible, and her foster mother thought she sounded as though she were reciting a Law & Order episode. The police swiftly pivoted and began investigating Marie. Confronted with inconsistencies in her story and the doubts of others, Marie broke down and said her story was a lie - a bid for attention. Police charged Marie with false reporting. One of Marie's best friends created a web page branding her a liar. More than two years later, Colorado detective Stacy Galbraith was assigned to investigate a case of sexual assault. Describing the crime to her husband that night - the attacker's calm and practiced demeanor, which led the victim to surmise "he's done this before" - Galbraith learned that the case bore an eerie resemblance to a rape that had taken place months earlier in a nearby town. She joined forces with the detective on that case, Edna Hendershot, and the two soon realized they were dealing with a serial rapist: a man who photographed his victims, threatening to release the images online, and whose calculated steps to erase all physical evidence suggested he might be a soldier or a cop. Through meticulous police work the detectives would eventually connect the rapist to other attacks in Colorado - and beyond. Based on investigative files ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Discover the inspirational life story of Phil Jackson and learn about the spiritual journey that transformed him into a Zen master basketball coach. Philip Douglas Jackson was born on September 17th, 1945 in Deer Lodge, Montana to Charles Jackson and Elizabeth Funk Jackson. Elizabeth came from a long line of Mennonites before her conversion to the Assembly of God. On Sunday mornings, Charles would deliver a sermon and Elizabeth would preach in the evenings. Charles and Elizabeth raised their four children, three sons and one daughter, in a remote part of Montana and did not allow dancing, rock music, or television. His upbringing was modest as both his parents had taken a vow of poverty. Charles was described as being a man large enough to live his life on only $100 per week earned at the foot of the cross. He had a pleasant and laid-back personality until he needed to correct one of his children. He enjoyed hunting and fishing as did many others of his time. Elizabeth Jackson, mostly referred to as Betty, was proud and determined. She was sure that the second coming of Christ was right around the corner and that she, her family, and everyone she came in contact with, needed to be prepared. Betty was comfortable chopping wood alongside her husband and children, while also reciting scripture. Betty also had a strong, manipulative nature, which she often used to make sure her children were staying on the straight and narrow. Phil would inherit this talent from his mother, which proved useful in years to come. Here is a preview of what you'll learn: What makes Phil Jackson's style of coaching different from other basketball coaches Why Phil Jackson became involved with a counterculture lifestyle What Phil Jackson had to do to get a coaching job in the NBA Phil Jackson's experiences with strict parents Why having a clear mind is so important for basketball players Why Phil Jack ungekürzt.

    Sparks fly and tension soars when a gutsy 21st century lawyer meets a 19th century Pinkerton agent in a Colorado mining town! Fast-paced Western adventure with a railroad war, gunslingers, dinosaur bones, and romance...Amber Kelly, mining lawyer and amateur paleontologist, visits her family’s 19th century log cabin in the Colorado mountains and discovers a puzzle box hidden in a 200-year-old loom. Inside the box is a brooch engraved with a Gaelic inscription. After reciting the words, an earthy-scented fog engulfs Amber and whisks her off to Leadville, Colorado, in the year 1878. Within minutes of arriving in the infamous boomtown, she witnesses a horrifying accident. Pinkerton agent Daniel Grant, a widower on assignment to the Rio Grande Railroad, sees his son fall into the path of a freight wagon. Terrified, he knows he can’t reach him in time. Amber sprints toward the boy, grabs him, and drags him to safety. Although Daniel is grateful to Amber for saving his son’s life, he quickly becomes suspicious of her legal knowledge, odd passion for hunting dinosaur bones, and inability to answer simple questions about her identity. Olivia Kelly, real estate broker and former litigator, is distraught over her sister’s disappearance. With the assistance of her client, former NYPD detective Connor O’Grady, they search the cabin for clues to Amber’s whereabouts. Connor recognizes the puzzle box and is convinced Amber has gone back in time. But where? With the help of his friends David and Kenzie McBain, they identify two possibilities: Morrison and Canon City, Colorado, in the late 1870s. A plan to rescue Amber is immediately put into action. The time travelers are drawn into the middle of two wars: a ruthless and competitive bone war between two noted paleontologists and a desperate railroad war between the Santa Fe and the Rio Grande. Their involvement in these wars puts at risk the future of paleontology, the outcome of a sensational legal b ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Teri Schnaubelt.

    This is the is the full sermon of Jonathan Edward's "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" with a contemporary theological introduction written by Robert J. Bagley, MA. Referred to by theological historians as the “Most famous sermon ever preached on American soil”, "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" is a sermon Jonathan Edwards preached to his own congregation in Northampton, Massachusetts, to little or no effect, and again on July 8, 1741 in Enfield, Connecticut to great effect! It is possible that his own congregation suffered from the proverbial “familiarity often breads contempt” or the Scripture that Jesus stated in Matthew 13:57, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own country and in his own house.” It took preaching this in someone else’s pulpit for it to have the impact it deserved. Tradition has it that many women in the Enfield congregation had been praying for revival and for this message prior to this famous sermon from the pulpit-visiting Edwards. In fact, Edwards was not even scheduled to preach this day and was asked at the last minute to do so which is why it is said he basically buried his head in his notes and read this timeless sermon word for word. However, it was the Holy Spirit’s anointing behind the words, not the engagement of the preacher, that caused many during the sermon to interrupt with moaning, weeping, and cries of "What shall I do to be saved?" We know you will enjoy this re-presentation and introduction. Steve Cook (six-time number-one best-selling, faith-based narrator and actor) does a masterful work of reciting this famous sermon that still has the power to save in the 21st century! God bless and please share with your friends on social media. You never know whose life will be changed!PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    For over 230 years, American schoolchildren have been taught about the story of Nathan Hale, or at least a legend of it, and in the process the myth of Hale and his apocryphal final words have immortalized the young man as America’s most famous spy, despite his failed mission. After the siege of Boston forced the British to evacuate that city in March, 1776, Continental Army commander George Washington suspected that the British would move by sea to New York City, the next logical target in an attempt to end a colonial insurrection. He thus rushed his army south to defend the city.  In the summer of 1776, the British conducted the largest amphibious expedition in North America’s history at the time, landing over 20,000 troops on Long Island. Washington’s army would ultimately be pushed west all the way through New Jersey the rest of the year, but he nonetheless maintained intelligence operations around New York City, and one of the early spies was young Nathan Hale. A young officer in the Continental Army from Connecticut, Hale was asked by Washington to go behind British lines on Long Island and bring back information on what the British were up to there. Unfortunately, Hale was quickly identified by Loyalists, found with incriminating papers on his body, and executed. Hale’s name may have very well been lost to history but for propaganda efforts to make him a martyr to the cause, most notably the reports of his last words about regretting that he had but one life to lose for his country. If Hale said anything like the quote he’s best known for, he was likely reciting an exchange in the play Cato by Joseph Addison or playing off of it, but regardless of what he actually said, the story and the legend of Hale aimed to cover up the fact that his mission was an abject failure, due both to bad luck and ineptitude.  Nathan Hale and the Culper Ring: The History of the Continental Army’s Most Famous Spy and Spy Ring during the American Revol ungekürzt.

    You repeat mostly the same lines over and over and over and struggle with where to say them. You probably have no transparent core message - that simple phrase that sums up your whole presentation. When you ask yourself exactly what you expect your listeners to say or do at the end of the lecture, you will clarify your intentions and quickly get stuck. If you listen to this book, you know what Heath calls the "curse of knowledge." In order to complete it, we feel obliged to share everything we know, not just what our listeners need to know about. As a consequence, we go and go and, therefore, like our already exhausted viewers, just like the Energizer Bunny. Alternatively, turn the whole critical core message back to what the audience will say or do when you're done. And identify three to four main points of support instead of reciting the laundry list. Recall that quality always trumps quantity. Recently, a client has helped to prepare for a webinar to attract hundreds of people. This luminous focused and motivated presenter quickly stopped trying to create a perfect picture. In reality, she was so committed to the ideal icebreaker that she was short of time and threatened the remainder of her high-stakes presentation. If you are in this situation, wake up and move on mentally. Opportunities are that the ideal opening comes when you develop the rest of your message. You may also try to ask a question or quote a surprising statistic to capture the attention of listeners from the outset. What is the standard cure to prevent the three overthinking traps and to keep from falling victim to them? It's never about you - remember, it's about the audience. You are guaranteed to stop thinking and shift toward a coherent, productive presentation that offers the business results you want by getting out of your head and getting back to where it is your listeners are concerned.  ungekürzt.

    Out of the muck and mire, a rose blooms .Saint Dominic Savio was born of very poor but holy peasant stock, one of ten children. His parents were from Castelnuovo D’Asti, ten miles outside Turin. When things got desperate they were forced to leave, to find work in a small village outside of Chieri called Riva. There on April 2, 1842, a boy child was born to Charles and Brigid Savio, whom they baptized Dominic. When Dominic was two years old, the family moved once again, to a village near their home town of Castelnuovo d’Asti, Murialdo. Right from his earliest years, Saint Dominic Savio showed clear signs of piety. His parents said he never gave them cause for the slightest worry, was always obedient and thoughtful of their feelings. At barely four years of age, he swiftly learned his prayers, and could be observed reciting them alone, morning, noon, and night. Deeply attached to his mother, he only left her side to go to a small hideaway where he could continue praying unnoticed. He never began eating without saying Grace. One day, his family unwittingly began eating without first having prayed. Little Dominic cried out, "Daddy, we haven’t asked God to bless our meal yet." He then proceeded to make the Sign of the Cross and began the prayer the family always recited before eating. All joined in, and after they finished eating, they said the Angelus (as was their custom, morning, noon and night). On another occasion, a guest at their dinner table began eating without first saying Grace. Young Dominic rose and left the table, retiring to a corner of the room. When he was later questioned, as to his strange behavior, he said, "I didn’t dare sit at table with someone who eats like an animal." In his biography of this little Saint, Don Bosco speaks not only of the extraordinary Grace bestowed upon Saint Dominic Savio, but attributed much of his virtuous life to his parents and their tireless commitment to bring him the treasures of the ungekürzt.

    A young, blind bard counts himself lucky when invited to live with the monks at a prominent Buddhist temple -- and more lucky still when asked to perform his epic verses at the court of a high-ranking lord. But why is his noble audience so violently moved by his tales of long-dead heroes? For ages 10 and up. Not illustrated! ///////////////////////////////////////////////// Aaron Shepard is the award-winning author of "The Baker's Dozen," "The Sea King's Daughter," "Lady White Snake," and many more children's books. His stories have appeared often in Cricket magazine, while his Web site is known internationally as a prime resource for folktales, storytelling, and reader's theater. Once a professional storyteller, Aaron specializes in lively retellings of folktales and other traditional literature, which have won him honors from the American Library Association, the New York Public Library, the Bank Street College of Education, the National Council for the Social Studies, and the American Folklore Society. ///////////////////////////////////////////////// SAMPLE Hearing something, Hoichi stopped his playing and listened. Through the night came footsteps, measured by a steady CLANK, CLANK -- the sound of armor. A samurai coming to the temple, thought Hoichi. What could he want at this hour? The footsteps moved through the back gate of the temple and across the garden. CLANK, CLANK. They were coming straight toward him! As the young man's heart beat faster, the footsteps halted before the veranda. "Hoichi!" "Sir!" replied the young man. Then he added, "Please, sir, I am blind. I cannot see who you are." "You have nothing to fear," said the voice. "My master, a lord of high rank, is lodging nearby. He came to visit Dan-no-ura, the scene of the famous battle. Now he hears of your talent in reciting the tale of the Heike. He wishes you to come at once to perform for himself and his attendants." "I am most honored," said Hoichi. The young man slung his biwa on his back and slipped into his straw sandals. Then his arm was clasped in a grip of iron, and he was led rapidly away.
