  This is a compilation of 4 different titles, which are about the following topics: 
  1: Charlie Chaplin was, at some point in history, the best paid actor in the world. He was famous for his comedy movies and his humor. He had an extensive career in acting, especially during World War 1, the Great Depression, and World War 2. What a fascinating time period in history to be a movie actor! 
  2: Marilyn Monroe has been part of the sexual revolution during the mid-20th century. Her influence in the movie industry, as an icon for attractiveness and femininity, have been noticed by hundreds of millions, even after her death. Did Marilyn Monroe have success? Yes. Was her life easy? Not by far. Her failed marriages, early childhood trauma, mood disorder, and some of the struggles with her sexuality, contracts, and Hollywood producers have made her life go up and down so much that I’m sure she would describe some moments as the ultimate bliss and others as a living hell. 
  3: Elvis Presley is the famous singer who caused so much controversy that he was hated and loved among most of the American people. His sexual moves, his novel way of putting songs together… there was just something about him that attracted the ladies and the media attention at the same time. Elvis didn’t grow up with wealth and fame. In a way, you could say he was living the American dream. However, he was kind of a bad boy as well, facing legal troubles, broken relationships and drug abuse. 
  4: James Dean was an icon for youth, differences in sexuality, and a successful Hollywood actor who made an impact on society and the American culture. His life was one of confusion and rebellion, but his attractiveness and suave attitude had a charm many could not resist. Some of his best movies got awards and were watched all over the country.

  As one of the most recognisable faces in showbiz today, Kerry Katona has seen more than her fair share of ups and downs played out in public. Once labelled ‘the nation’s sweetheart,’ the Atomic Kitten singer rose from foster care to international stardom but her fall from grace in a haze of drink and drugs was just as dramatic, as she saw her picture-perfect marriage crumble and her career slump. 
   
  Yet despite all that, it is in the last decade that Kerry has faced up to her biggest personal challenges. Her marriage to third husband George Kay was to test her to the absolute limit. Stuck in an abusive relationship she felt powerless to leave, the cycle of despair was only ended when George died aged just 39 in 2019, found in a hotel room eating a sock filled with cocaine. 
   
  This is a harrowing, brutally honest life story yet, at its heart, ultimately an uplifting tale of hope, strength and survival. With the support of her now-fiancé Ryan and her children, Kerry has had to show sheer grit and determination to get her life and career back on track despite the darkest of circumstances. After years of desperately trying to find her way, she has finally started to feel – in the words of her most famous song – Whole Again.

  Destruction of Black...

  Winner of the Black Academy of Arts and Letters’ First Prize for Literature, The Destruction of Black Civilization is a landmark audiobook that reshapes how we understand African history—and ourselves. 
  Written by historian Chancellor Williams after sixteen years of meticulous research and travel, this powerful narrative offers a bold, uncompromising account of the rise and fall of Black civilizations across Africa. Far from the passive figures often portrayed in mainstream histories, Williams places African people at the center of their own story—builders of empires, creators of culture, and stewards of knowledge. 
  This audiobook is a direct challenge to the long-standing myth: that Black people have no proud history. Williams confronts this lie head-on, asking: If Africa was the cradle of civilization, how did its people come to be seen as a race with no meaningful past? His answer breaks from traditional narratives, examining how natural forces, foreign invasions, cultural theft, and centuries of imperialism contributed to the systematic dismantling of Black societies. 
  More than just history, this is a call to mental liberation. Williams shifts the focus from outsiders' influence in Africa to the achievements and struggles of Africans themselves—offering a true account of Black history, by and for Black people. His insights continue to inspire educators, students, and listeners seeking to reclaim historical truth and cultural pride. 
  Perfect for listeners passionate about history, social justice, and the ongoing fight for identity and empowerment, The Destruction of Black Civilization is not just an audiobook—it’s an awakening.

  Goodness of God The: The Eternal...

  Surprisingly, I found God through some bad things when I was little. He knew what my battles would be and that I’d need an unshakeable faith, so He made Himself known to me when I was young. I don’t think I even understood the miracles, but I knew He was real, so I had two options - not serve a God I knew was real or serve Him faithfully. 
  God gets all the glory. I couldn’t do this on my own. Every day I walked through the fire, I did it not by my own might. God made a path through the wilderness. There’s nothing I could accomplish without God. It’s not my legacy; it’s His. I’m not the main character; just a puzzle piece in the bigger picture - a life willing to be laid down. But I couldn’t keep the goodness of God to myself. In the end, I hope you find Him as you read my story. I hope you see His goodness through the darkness. That we may know our God, and see Him, and the only thing I strive for is to know Him and make Him known. 
  Only through faith could I forgive and see that those who contributed to my trauma were experiencing their own. They were victims too. That’s when I decided I wasn’t going to be a victim, but a survivor. That journey started with forgiveness. 
  Maybe the magic is just the sharing of faith and Jesus. He trusted us with our testimony because He knew we would share His faithfulness! We need to love and forgive as freely as Jesus has loved and forgiven us! 
  “‘And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to obey my rules.’” Ezekiel 36:26-27 
  God doesn’t just change some parts of you; He makes you entirely new! He gives you a new heart that is after Him. He transforms you. He puts His very own Spirit within you, empowering you to live a righteous and holy life. By His Spirit, you are equipped to succeed and become victorious in every area of your
