   Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/625248 (https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/625248) to listen full audiobooks. Title: A Hard Road to Glory, Volume 2 (1919-1945): A History of the African-American Athlete Author: Arthur Ashe Narrator: Landon Woodson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 31 minutes Release date: July 16, 2024 Genres: The Americas Publisher's Summary: “The most comprehensive reference source on African-American athletes yet compiled.”—San Francisco Chronicle With a Foreword by Jeanne Moutoussamy-Ashe Available once again for a new generation of readers, the second volume in Arthur Ashe’s epic trilogy that chronicles the remarkable legacy of Black athletes in the United States—a major addition to our understanding of American history and the fulfillment of this legendary sports star and global activist’s lifelong dream. When tennis great Arthur Ashe first published his A Hard Road to Glory trilogy, this ambitious project was the first of its kind, a milestone in the presentation of United States social history. A Hard Road to Glory Volume 2, carries on the little-known full story of Black athletes and their contributions to American sports and culture.  Volume 2 covers America’s “Golden Age” of sports from the end of World War One to the end of World War Two, from to 1919–1945. It was a time when the feats of legends such as Babe Ruth, Red Grange, and Jack Dempsey shone brightly—and segregation reigned supreme. Racial restrictions led to the formation of independent Black organizations, which saw its own share of extraordinary stars. Meanwhile, a number of great Black athletes, including Jesse Owens and Joe Louis, became sports heroes admired by millions worldwide. Today, Black athletes and Black women in particular are receiving more visibility than ever for their unparalleled, world record-breaking excellence, their activism, and their leadership and vision. Serena Williams, Simone Biles, Sha’Carri Richardson, and Naomi Osaka are consistently elevating athletics and are reshaping the way we think about sports, excellence, society, and history. Arthur Ashe paved the way for them all; A Hard Road to Glory is fundamental to our understanding of Black athletes and our nation’s past, present, and future. Now more than ever, this collection is one of this amazing icon’s greatest legacies—a treasure to be celebrated by readers today and those to come. Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

   Hope Lies Ahead: Encouragement for Parents of Prodigals from a Family That's Been There by Geoffrey Banks, James Banks

   Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/609203 (https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/609203) to listen full audiobooks. Title: Hope Lies Ahead: Encouragement for Parents of Prodigals from a Family That's Been There Author: Geoffrey Banks, James Banks Narrator: Geoffrey Banks, James Banks Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 36 minutes Release date: January 3, 2024 Genres: The Americas Publisher's Summary: No prodigal is beyond the reach of God.   Do you have a child who has walked away from Jesus? Or have you walked away from Him yourself? Hope Lies Ahead captures the candid journey of a prodigal son’s return, written from the unique perspective of both the father who prayed and the son who struggled. Told together, their story will encourage you through the honesty of their pain and their compelling experience of God’s redemption.    Amid the heartache of watching his teenage son self-destruct and the realization that all he could do was pray, pastor James Banks wrote the popular book Prayers for Prodigals. At a low point, Geoffrey Banks recognized that life could be better, and he sensed Jesus calling him back. Now, Hope Lies Ahead tells the powerful story of God’s faithfulness to answer prayer and of the healing found in Him.    No matter what you’re struggling with—whether it’s you or a child who has abandoned faith or faces addiction or prison—you are not alone. There is hope in Jesus, who makes all things new.

   The Women of NOW: How Feminists Built an Organization That Transformed America by Katherine Turk

   Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/626899 (https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/626899) to listen full audiobooks. Title: The Women of NOW: How Feminists Built an Organization That Transformed America Author: Katherine Turk Narrator: Kimberly M. Wetherell Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 56 minutes Release date: August 15, 2023 Genres: The Americas Publisher's Summary: The history of NOW—its organization, trials, and revolutionary mission—told through the work of three members. In the summer of 1966, crammed into a DC hotel suite and passing paper cups of liquor, twenty-eight women hatched a revolutionary plan. Betty Friedan, the well-known author of The Feminine Mystique, and Pauli Murray, a lawyer at the front lines of the civil rights movement, had quietly pulled away attendees from the State Womens’ Commissions annual conference. Frustrated with government inertia, they laid out a vision for an organization to unite and advocate for all women. Inspired, challenged, skeptical, they debated the idea late into the night and the next day. By the end of the conference, the National Organization of Women was born. In The Women of NOW, the historian Katherine Turk chronicles the growth and influence of this foundational group through three relatively unknown core members: Aileen Hernandez, a federal official of Jamaican-American heritage; Mary Jean Collins, a working-class union organizer and Chicago Catholic; and Patricia Hill Burnett, a Michigan Republican and former beauty queen. From its inception in 1966 through the tumultuous training ground of the 1970s, NOW's feminism flooded the nation, shifted American culture and politics, and clashed with conservative forces, presaging our fractured national landscape. These women built an organization that was radical in its time, and built it to last. This is the first time anyone has told their story. A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux.
