On the edge of the world's largest mirror—a salt flat so white it blinds—there are shrines. Small, white-washed altars, some with offerings of dried flowers or handwritten notes, others dark and empty. Luna returns to this strange landscape each episode to open her leather journal and read a story tied to the salt. These are not ghost stories. They are records of the desperate, the devout, and the disappeared: a bride who walked into the salt and never returned, a geologist who found a crack that led not down but sideways, a sect of flagellants whose prayers left salt-encrusted wounds. The...

In a small Catholic chapel where votive candles gutter before a saint's turned-away face, Luna kneels in the pew, rosary beads clicking between her fingers. This is the gathering place for stories from the borderlands of faith — where devotion curdles into obsession, where the sacred turns sinister, and where the line between sin and salvation blurs into shadow. Each episode of Saints and Sinners is a self-contained tale that explores the dark corners of religious belief: a priest who hears confessions from someone who died decades ago, a relic that grants prayers at a terrible cost, a ...

The Saint was a radio adventure program in the United States that featured a character ("a swashbuckling, devil-may-care Robin Hood type who, in his attempt to help people, remained just one step ahead of the police and crooks—both of whom he combatted") created by author Leslie Charteris. As the program's introduction said, The Saint (the alias of Simon Templar), was "known to millions from books, magazines, and motion pictures." Several versions of the program appeared on different networks. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Detective Michael Palermo built his career on his unique ability to inhabit two worlds at once: the world of law enforcement and the underworld of New York’s crime family organizations. Palermo participated in over 2,000 arrests while maintaining close relationships with the kingpins of organized crime - ties that allowed him to stay one step ahead of the rest of the New York City Police Department. This true crime drama takes you inside the police force at its most corrupt.

New York Times best-selling author and legendary political insider Roger Stone lashes out with a blistering indictment that exposes the true history and monumental hypocrisy of the Bushes. In his usual "go for the jugular" style, Stone collaborates with Saint John Hunt - author, musician, and son of legendary CIA operative E. Howard Hunt - to make this a "no-holds-barred" history of the Bush family.

Considered to be the first autobiographical work in history, this timeless book is completely applicable to everyone who has experienced the struggle between good and evil in his own soul. Saint Augustine, born in Constantine in 354 C.E., was raised by a devout Christian mother. He abandoned the Christianity of his upbringing and had an illegitimate son. After hearing the sermons of Ambrose, he began his great internal struggle which led to his conversion in 387 C.E. The Confessions describe his conversion, shedding light on the questions that had troubled him on his way to the Cross. Outside Scripture it is the most famous - and perhaps the most important - of all spiritual books.

The Confessions of St. Augustine is one of the most moving diaries ever recorded of a man's journey to the fountain of God's grace. Writing as a sinner, not a saint, Augustine shares his innermost thoughts and conversion experiences, and wrestles with the spiritual questions that have stirred the hearts of the thoughtful since time began.

Les archives de la conquête spatiale contredisent pourtant cette fable. Loin du rêve humaniste, ses objectifs sont avant tout militaires, dès les premières expérimentations des ingénieurs nazis bientôt reconvertis dans l'aérospatiale aux États-Unis pour mener de front la course à la Lune, aux satellites et aux missiles. Dans le sillage des space enthusiasts au sein des gouvernements et des armées, une puissante industrie s'est développée, surfant sur le marché des télécommunications et de la surveillance, spéculant sur les projets d'expansion cosmique les plus farfelus.

Written after the capture of Rome in 410 by Alaric, King of the Visigoths, St Augustine's City of God was intended as a response to pagan critics who blamed Christianity for this brutal defeat. Augustine attacks ancient pagan beliefs and relates the corruption and immorality that led to Rome's downfall, which began before Christ, before reaching his main argument: that the City of Man is perishing and only the Heavenly City of God will endure.
