    Reminiscent of Humphrey Bogart’s character “Rick Blaine” from the classic film Casablanca, Rocky Jordan was banished by enemies from St. Louis and relocated to Cairo, Egypt. Now living in Northern Africa, Rocky Jordan owns and operates his gin joint (the Café Tambourine) and finds an assortment of mystery and intrigue while unwillingly moonlighting as a crime fighter. Cairo‘s Police Chief, Sam Sabaaya, is an Egyptian Muslim who strictly adheres to the law. Often times, when a crime is committed, Jordan is the prime suspect - forcing him to solve the crime so he can clear his name and save his neck. The writers (Larry Roman and Gomer Cool) strived to create an authentic North African feel to the show. All street names used were factual and the theme featured Middle Eastern music by Richard Aurandt. There was an earlier version of the show called A Man Named Jordan which was near identical except Jordan resided in Istanbul, Turkey. First heard in 1945, Rocky Jordan was sponsored for most of its run by Del Monte Foods. Jack Moyles starred as Rocky with movie tough guy George Raft later taking over the role in the summer series of 1951 and 1952.  2/5/50 “The Return of Toni” 2/12/50 “Madame Du Lac’s Daughter” 2/19/50 “Paid in Full” 2/26/50 “The Return of Dr. Piru” 3/5/50 “The Secret of Wong Lee” 3/12/50 “The White Beetle” 3/19/50 “The Perfect Witness” 4/2/50 “The Strange Fate of Professor Amar” 4/9/50 “Holiday Weekend” 4/16/50 “Adventure in Zaqaziq” 4/23/50 “The Big Gamble” 5/7/50 “Hoard of the Mameluks”  Language: English.

    Your relationship seemed to be one that you had always strived for. The two of you seemed perfect together, and you were building a future together. Suddenly you are faced with your partner's adulterous affair and his infidelity. You start to doubt your own self-worth, and your self-esteem starts to slide into the gutter. You feel absolutely miserable. You mull things over, and you realize that your partner wants you to take him back. He wants to make amends. After all, he says, he still loves you. And he does. You wonder why he cheated if he loves you so much. Wouldn't our men stop straying if we were the only women they were meant to be with? Your man is just as confused as you as to why he is cheating. I am here to tell you that there is a reason your man cheated. It has a lot less to do with how you were treating him and a lot more to do with other things that were in his life a long time before you came along. It has to do with his upbringing and his caregivers, but not in the way that you think it does. In this audiobook, I am going to cover the real reason that your man cheated and show you that (if he says he still loves you) this is the ultimate truth that you must deal with when determining whether to walk away from the relationship or to give him another chance. There is a chance that he'll cheat again because of the reason that he cheated the first time. There is a chance that he'll likely always be a cheater, even if he runs off and meets another girl that he is enamored with. There is also a chance that he can change for good and stop cheating, and that is the goal of this audiobook. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: D Gaunt.

    'After 46 years of being on the road, now is the right time to look back in a way I've never done before: now and then. I'm looking forward to sharing it with you.' Mick Fleetwood has been part of one of the world's most successful and adored bands for over four decades. Here he tells the full and candid story of that life, and what it is to be part of the ever evolving Fleetwood Mac. His all-access autobiography spans the career of one of classic rock's greatest drummers and band leaders, the co-founder of the deeply loved super group that bears his name. In this intimate portrait of a life lived in music, Fleetwood vividly recalls his upbringing in Cornwall, Egypt, and Norway, tapping along to whatever song was playing on the radio; his experiences as a musician in Sixties London; the early days of the band featuring Peter Green, and his close friendship with George Harrison and seemingly all of music royalty. Play On sheds new light on Fleetwood Mac's raucous history, describing the highs and lows of being part of a band that he often single-handedly kept together. His love affair with Stevie Nicks, the creation of landmark albums like Rumours and Tusk, and the many incredible and outrageous moments of recording, touring, fighting, and loving with Fleetwood Mac: all are here. He describes his life's moments with the honesty and immediacy that his fans expect, taking us to the very heart of this multi-layered life. It's been a tumultuous journey with the excesses of the band's huge success at times threatening to destroy what they strived so hard to create. But through it all, it's been the drive to play on that has won out. Now, then, and always, it's Fleetwood Mac. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Martin Dew.

    Vengeance is mine, I will repay, said the Lord, according to the Book of Romans 12:19, but as for David (a devoted Christian turned backslider), vengeance belongs to him personally and he will stop at nothing to get it. As David travels along a path of destruction, one question remains: Do two wrongs ever make a right? Excerpt Whoever said: two wrongs don't make a right, must of been a Jesus freak; I know, I used to be one too. You see, for the majority of my life, I've been a devoted Christian; I dedicated my life to Jesus Christ; I attended church every Sunday-even paid my tithes; I ministered to lost souls; I waited until marriage to have sex; I even forgave my trespassers, wholeheartedly. Now don't get me wrong; I wasn't perfect, but I repented for all my sins and truly strived to be a true man of God. Prayer became a daily practice of mine and for the most part, God answered my prayers. However, when it came to one prayer request in particular, God had let me down. The one request that I truly cried out to God for had fallen on death ears. I couldn't understand why; I mean, I kept God first in my life, walking by faith and not by sight, and trusted him to provide my every need. According to the Bible, God will put no more on us then we can handle, but what had happened to me, overwhelmed me, and hurt me to the point that I had lost all faith in God. So, as I stood over the campfire with my parents, channeling all of my anger towards my trespassers, I made a vow to myself that from now on, I'd take matters into my own hands. Revenge never tasted so sweet. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Steve White. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/059373/bk_acx0_059373_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    The inspiring story of Isaiah Austin, the man who captured our hearts when he was made the honorary NBA draft pick after a shocking diagnosis ended his professional basketball career before he could even step onto the court. "There are two choices in life: you make it your excuse or you make it your story." Isaiah Austin's mother shared these words of wisdom with him as a child as he came to terms with a torn retina that took away the ability to see with his right eye. Faced with adversity at such a young age, Isaiah had to choose - let his disability define him or overcome the challenge and shine. Overcoming that challenge is exactly what Isaiah did as he made a name for himself on Baylor University's NCAA Division 1 basketball team. Everyone expected Isaiah to have a successful career in the NBA after college, but on June 21, 2014 - just five days before the NBA draft - Austin was diagnosed with Marfan syndrome, a genetic disorder that affects the body's connective tissue, putting him at risk of rupturing his heart if he continued to play basketball. In seconds Austin's hopes for a career in the NBA became impossible. After hearing about Isaiah's diagnosis, NBA commissioner Adam Silver invited Austin to attend the 2014 draft as his personal guest. The league recognized Isaiah's courage, resilience, and determination in a bittersweet moment when he was made an honorary draft pick. Rather than letting another challenge destroy his faith, Austin has once again strived to overcome adversity by becoming a spokesperson for The Marfan Foundation, raising awareness and understanding for the disease. Proceeds from Dream Again will go to the Isaiah Austin Foundation, which provides support for the awareness and research of Marfan syndrome and those affected by it. ungekürzt. Language: English.
