  A modern day love story of two people finding themselves unequally yoked in marriage in more ways than one, who daily face the challenges imposed by the high intensity environment of a Naval Aviator trying to balance God, country and family and not necessarily in that order. 
  THE LAST KISS is a gripping real-life memoir of a US Navy Carrier Pilot flying dangerous missions against Russian submarines in the North Atlantic during The Cold War. It was a very perilous trade, as he puts it in his own words in the second page of his book: 
  "I spent most of my career landing very fast jets on very tiny decks in the middle of the night in the middle of very big oceans" 
  "His book is packed with operational details and piercing insights into the United States Navy and its role in the defense of America, but it's also a poignant personal account of life and loss, God and Man, and the ultimate price we all pay for true love. It's so good I wish I'd written it."

  •	A Timeless Dialogue on Beauty – Socrates seeks a definition that transcends physical appearance 
  •	Plato’s Foundations of Aesthetics – Understand the roots of Western thought on art and form 
  •	A Sharp Critique of Superficial Wisdom – Watch Socrates expose hollow definitions of truth and beauty

  Audiobook version of PJ Murray's brutally honest memoir Self-Made (Jestina Media, 2018), which chronicles his metamorphosis from a barely literate juvenile delinquent in the racially-charged 1970s into a successful 21st century businessman. 
  After overcoming an underprivileged childhood in northwest London and a decade-long cycle of criminality and incarceration, Murray matured into a street-smart business operator who has played integral but unsung roles in two landmark British media platforms: Pride Magazine and music TV station Channel U. 
  While exploring issues such as faith, culture, and entrepreneurialism, Murray's fascinating book is also peppered with mind-boggling accounts of sex, revenge, tragedy, Jamaican voodoo, and personal development.

  It started when Joy's hands were small and his were large and mature. A touch here and a touch there, a hand here and a hand there. A life here, and a life that almost ended.  
  Some people say everything happens for a reason. But what could justify this? Joy decides she must share her story, her truth: Truth, Expressed, Dawn, Dusk, Incessantly Endures. That's TEDDIE! She hugs it tightly, the bear of her salvation.  
  In the most-high places, Joy's cry for help is heard. An invisible hand empties out the glass of misery and begins filling it with a new life. From then on, this invisible hand touches every part of her. Soon her life is about answering one question: Now my own hands, what will I do with them? 
  This is a story of victory against the odds, carried in the hand of love which reaches down from up high.
