COLUMBUS: The Man Who Didn’t Discover America is a clear-eyed biography of one of history’s most mythologized figures. Drawing from primary sources, letters, and eyewitness accounts, this book traces the life and legacy of Christopher Columbus. From his early years in Genoa to his final voyage across the Atlantic. Rather than retelling the story through rose-colored legend, the book offers a grounded account of who Columbus actually was, what he believed, and what happened when he made landfall in the Caribbean.

This isn’t a memoir. It’s not a miracle cure. And it’s not another promise built on fear. This is the book that finally explains it, all of it. What it is. How it works. Why it’s so hard to treat. What the treatments actually do. What the diagnosis does to your mind. And how the system around it got so big, so expensive, and so confusing. It’s biology. It’s industry. It’s psychology. It’s the full picture, from rogue cells to medical machines to the moment your life gets split in half by one word.

The FBI: How a Filing Cabinet Took Over America is a surgical walk through the most powerful domestic surveillance machine in U.S. history — and the terrifying banality behind it. From its paranoid birth to its modern algorithmic glow-up, this book traces how the FBI evolved from a desk job into an empire. This isn’t a thriller. This isn’t a rant. It’s the story of how America’s most trusted agency spent a hundred years collecting secrets, destroying lives, and filing it all away. J. Edgar Hoover. COINTELPRO. MLK. Waco. 9/11. Metadata. Informants. Blackmail. Bureaucracy as weapon.

For over sixty years, the United States tried everything to bring Cuba to its knees. Invasions, embargoes, sabotage, propaganda, and over six hundred assassination attempts. None of it worked. This is the story of how a small Caribbean island became the Cold War’s most defiant survivor. From the sugar empire and Mafia casinos to the rise of Fidel Castro and the missile crisis that nearly ended the world, this book traces the full arc of Cuba’s revolutionary saga and the decades-long grudge match with the most powerful nation on Earth.

The CIA has shaped world history from behind the scenes for over 75 years—through spycraft, propaganda, coups, mind games, surveillance, and a whole lot of denial.

From Cold War beginnings and MKUltra experiments to media manipulation, secret prisons, drone strikes, and digital warfare, The CIA covers the major programs and turning points that changed not just American policy—but global reality. If you’ve ever wondered what the CIA actually does—this is the answer.

I enjoyed Flirting with Fame because Dan is so open and honest about his encounters with celebrities—some very funny, some odd and some even hard to believe—but all told from an ‘everyman’s’ point of view. He quite often found himself in rather bizarre circumstances while interacting with famous people—like having a staring contest with Barbra Streisand, twice; or smoking a joint in silence with Jill Clayburgh in Central Park; or talking with Billy Crystal about Chinese food at Sid Caesar’s funeral.

This short listen was originally written as a sermon at Impact Christian Church in Victorville, California. The message remains the same, but changes have been made to enhance your reading or listening experience.

A Republican agnostic president converts to Christianity in mid-term. He starts reading the Bible to learn from it instead of reading to discredit it. His policies gyrate dramatically. Indeed, much of the time he ends up sounding more like a Democrat. He has the best of intentions, but events quickly spiral out of control: election tumult, social controversy, debt, financial malfeasance, foreign wars, international terrorism, civil war among Mexican drug cartels, and plots of assassination. Israel, Iran, Mexico, and other nations are sucked into the intrigue and mounting catastrophe.

There are few moments in life that change you like being held at gunpoint. There are also few events in life that change you like a revelation of your past in a way that forces you to look at your present differently. Seth Brommels, a struggling photographer in Philadelphia and son of a Pastor of a mega church, is reminded of both. In fact, Seth could say his life is full of reminders: how empty life is without another to share it with; how much pain is involved when trying to move on from the death of a loved one.
