Heart-To-Heart Communication -...

Teddie Ziegler

I believe everyone has the innate ability to communicate telepathically with their horse. By the time we become adults though, this ability seems to fade away. However, I believe it’s simply lying dormant and you just have to learn how to bring it to the forefront of your mind and tap into the energy that allows it to happen naturally between people and their animals. 
This is why I wrote my Heart-to-Heart Communication book. I want to help you tap into your natural abilities to communicate with your horses on what I call a heart-to-heart basis. This type of communication has been a blessing to me and I want to share it with you. My horses love ‘being heard’ and our relationship has been transformed because of it. 
Learning to listen to what your horse is telling you and responding in kind, opens up a whole new world of potential for the two of you. A world where it is indeed possible to communicate with each other through a deep connection of love and trust, heart-to-heart.

White Lies Matter - The Gospel...

Rev. Micaiah Wright

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. White Lies Matter: The Gospel of MAWA isn’t just a book—it’s a sermon, a roast, and a history lesson rolled into one blistering satire of American politics. Beneath the bright red MAGA cap, the author exposes what the slogan really meant: Make America White Again.

With wit as sharp as Twain, the bite of Carlin, and the unflinching honesty of Chappelle, this audiobook takes listeners on a journey through America’s not-so-secret gospel of racial nostalgia. From the election of Barack Obama that shook the foundations of white exceptionalism, to Steve Bannon and Donald Trump baptizing a movement in fear, grievance, and privilege, WLM uncovers how the “American Dream” was fenced off and sold as exclusive property.

Each chapter functions like a scripture reading from the Church of MAWA, complete with commandments, proverbs, and revelations that peel back patriotic veneers to reveal the machinery of exclusion underneath. It’s biting, it’s funny, and it’s devastatingly honest—because America’s greatest myths are also its greatest lies.

This is not a quiet audiobook. It’s meant to provoke laughter, outrage, and reflection in equal measure. Whether you’re a believer in the gospel of MAWA or a skeptic watching from the pews, White Lies Matter insists you confront the uncomfortable truth: racism was never a glitch in the system—it was the system.

At once irreverent and illuminating, this is satire that cuts to the bone and asks the question no campaign slogan dares to touch: Whose America are we really trying to make “great” again?

Exploring the Britannic - The...

Simon Mills

A revelatory and wide-ranging exploration of HMS Britannic—her life at sea and on the seabed—by the owner of her wreck. 
 
 
 
Launched in 1914, two years after the ill-fated voyage of her sister ship, RMS Titanic, the Britannic was intended to be superior to her tragic twin in every way. But war intervened and in 1915 she was requisitioned as a hospital ship. Just one year later, while on her way to collect troops wounded in the Balkans campaign, she fell victim to a mine laid by a German U-boat and tragically sank in the middle of the Aegean Sea. 
 
 
 
There her wreck lay, at a depth of 400 feet, until it was discovered fifty-nine years later by legendary explorer Jacques Cousteau. In 1996 the wreck was bought by the author of this book, Simon Mills. 
 
 
 
Exploring the Britannic tells the complete story of this enigmatic ship: her construction, launch and life, her fateful last voyage, and the historical findings resulting from the exploration of the well-preserved wreck over a period of forty years. This book finally details how the mysteries surrounding the 100-year-old enigma were laid to rest, and what the future might also hold for her.
