Story
The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

Story
The book of Enoch was thought to be lost for over 2,000 years until, in 1773, a traveller brought three copies back from Ethiopia. Whether or not this ancient book was actually authored by Enoch, the father of Methuselah and great-grandfather of Noah, is an ongoing debate among historians and theologians. But all recognise the book of Enoch as one of the most important apocalyptic works outside of the Bible.

The Qur'an, believed by Muslims to be the word of God, was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad 1,400 years ago. It is the supreme authority in Islam and the living source of all Islamic teaching; it is a sacred text and a book of guidance that sets out the creed, rituals, ethics, and laws of the Islamic religion. It has been one of the most influential books in the history of literature. Recognized as the greatest literary masterpiece in Arabic, it has nevertheless remained difficult to understand in its English translations.

As World War II ended, the United States stood as the dominant power on the world stage. In 1947, to support its new global status, it created the CIA to analyze foreign intelligence. But within a few years, the Agency was engaged in other operations: bolstering pro-American governments, overthrowing nationalist leaders, and surveilling anti-imperial dissenters at home. The Cold War was an obvious reason for this transformation—but not the only one.

A Powerful Window into True Resistance
The story of Sophie Scholl and the White Rose left me deeply moved. It captures the courage and moral conviction it takes to defy tyranny, especially in the face of unimaginable danger. I appreciated the focus on the group's pamphlets and their message, which gave me a profound understanding of their impact. The vivid depiction of wartime Munich added a real sense of place and brought history to life in a way I hadn’t experienced before.

The hidden heroes
This book is really cool. Sophie Scholl and the White Rose were so brave, standing up to the Nazis even when it was super dangerous. The stuff they did, like sneaking around with pamphlets, was intense. It’s a crazy story that shows how far people will go for what’s right. Definitely worth a read if you’re into history or brave people doing bold things.

Interesting History
This powerful narrative sheds light on the courage of a young woman who stood up against the horrors of Nazi Germany. The story is both heartbreaking and inspiring, highlighting the quiet but unwavering defiance of a group that dared to challenge a regime built on oppression. With vivid storytelling, the book delves into the personal struggles, moral dilemmas, and ultimate sacrifices made by a remarkable individual and her companions. It serves as a poignant reminder of the strength of resistance, especially from those whose voices have been overshadowed by history, and it provides a deeply moving portrayal of the bravery that can arise in the face of unimaginable fear.

Amazing story of WWII I never knew
I love to learn the history of WWII. There are so many stories untold of heroes who changed the tide of the war. This is one of those stories. Several women put their lives on the line hiding in plain sight and making their mark on the war. Sophie Scholl was an amazing woman who went above and beyond to help the Allies overcome the Axis. I thoroughly enjoyed this story; it was well written and well researched. The book was difficult to turn off and the narrator was pleaant to listen to; I highly recommend it.

Daring Rebellion in Scary Times!
Sophia Scholl and her cohorts with the White Rose were very daring during Nazi Germany. Promoting art, humanism, and Christian values. Within the heart of Nazi Germany, spoke out against with leaflets about the injustices and promoted fairness and real German values. How brave they were! How courageous they were! Conviction and Moral Courage urges the listener the act with integrity and purpose in our modern world.
