  La siguiente narración verídica, de la pluma de Legh Richmond, ofrece un relato claro y dulce de la misericordia del Señor manifestada al rescatar a uno de Sus tiernos corderos de la "zarpa del león." "Dirige su curso, oh Dios mío. Que el ojo que lee y el oído que escucha el relato de la pequeña Jane, por el poder del Espíritu del Dios Altísimo, se conviertan cada uno en testigo de la verdad tal como es en Jesús", fue su oración. Que el Señor cumpla esta petición, y use esta reimpresión para el bien de muchos, y para la gloria de Su Nombre.

  As an author, I spend a lot of time sitting at the keyboard, as do many in my and similar professions. Prior to becoming a novelist, I was a long-haul trucker, another sedentary lifestyle. Over the course of many years, the body I once had as an active-duty Marine turned into a blob.So, I decided to do something about it. The change from Marine to blob took decades, so I didn’t even notice it happening. But when I put the aging process in reverse, the changes were very noticeable and fast-coming.This was thanks mostly to Sam Hoster, my co-author and owner of Stay Strong Fitness. I know very little about health and fitness, except that I’m living proof that even in our mid-sixties, it’s not too late to become fit and strong. So, I invited Sam to write this book with me. Through the guidance and tutelage of his trainers and coaches, I went from blob to competitive powerlifter in just over a year.This book isn’t a memoir, but a motivational. Anyone can become stronger and healthier. All you need is guidance and a little push. That’s what we’re here for. Sam provides the guidance and I do the pushing. Kinda like in the gym.

  The groundbreaking story of the BBC’s first Black woman broadcaster — finally brought to light. 
  Una Marson was unstoppable—a poet whose words lit up hearts, a broadcaster who made history in 1941 as the first Black woman on the BBC, and an activist who fought fiercely for racial and gender equality. She brought Caribbean culture to the global stage, challenged prejudice head-on, and dared to imagine a better world. Yet history nearly erased her. 
  From the streets of 1920s Kingston, Jamaica, to the heart of British broadcasting during World War II, Una’s journey was one of resilience, ambition, and brilliance. She shared ideas with George Orwell, held her ground with T.S. Eliot, and used her voice to amplify the silenced while navigating a world unprepared for her genius. 
  Calling Una Marson restores this trailblazing woman to her rightful place in history. Through meticulous research and vivid storytelling, it celebrates her dazzling, difficult life and the legacy of courage, creativity, and justice she left behind. 
  Calling Una Marson by June Sarpong is a meticulously researched biography that explores the life and legacy of Una Marson, a pioneer in radio and media, and a leading African journalist in the 20th century. The book provides a critical analysis of the social, cultural, and ethnic landscape of Britain during her time, making it an essential read for anyone interested in media studies, social justice, and cultural criticism. 
  For fans of Reni Eddo-Lodge (Why I’m No Longer Talking to White People About Race), Laura Bates (Fix the System, Not the Women), Darren Chetty (The Good Immigrant), Ibram X. Kendi (How To Be an Antiracist), and Sabrina Mahfouz (These Bodies of Water).

  "A socialite bride, a $1 million inheritance, an older husband of questionable social rank, Yankees misbehaving on Southern soil . . . [A] web of intrigue" (Our State). 
   
   
    
  A news media frenzy hurled the quiet resort community of Pinehurst, North Carolina, into the national spotlight in 1935 when hotel magnate Ellsworth Statler's adopted daughter was discovered dead early one February morning weeks after her wedding day. A politically charged coroner's inquest failed to determine a definitive cause of death, and the following civil action continued to expose sordid details of the couple's lives. More than half a century later, the story was all but forgotten when local resident Diane McLellan spied an old photograph at a yard sale and became obsessed with solving the mystery. Her enthusiastic sleuthing captured the attention of Southern Pines resident and journalist Steve Bouser, who takes listeners back to those blustery winter days so long ago in the search to reveal what really happened to Elva Statler Davidson.

  Attack on Pearl Harbor: America...

  On December 7th 1941 as World War II raged, the focus of attention was snatched from the battlefields of Europe and diverted to the smoke and flames rising from the American Naval Base in Hawaii, Pearl Harbor. The Empire of the Rising Sun had finally struck, piercing the heart of the US navy in a bid to ensure that their plans for an Asian Empire, every bit as ambitious as Adolf Hitler’s Thousand Year Reich, were not threatened. 
   
  But as the injured were rushed to safety and America reeled from the shock of the Japanese attack, those battling against Hitler, most notably Winston Churchill and the people of Great Britain, were able to find some comfort in the tragedy, because America’s President, Franklin D Roosevelt, could now justify bringing the United States into the war. 
   
  The story of Pearl Harbor may have been told many times, but it’s nonetheless always fascinating and in this journal, we will have the opportunity to revisit the events of that monumental day as they unfolded, from the bombing of the USS Panay to the attack on Pearl itself, while discovering the reasons why the Japanese fleets travelled far across the ocean, to pick a fight with World War II’s sleeping giant.
