The Tao Te Ching is one of the most translated books in human history — and one of the most misunderstood. It’s just 81 verses long. But inside those verses is a quiet manual for living, leading, letting go, and lasting. This book strips away the confusion. No commentary. No spiritual fluff. No academic fog. Just the Tao, in plain language — one verse at a time. Whether you're new to the Tao or circling back for the tenth time, this version meets you where you are — and takes you a little deeper.

For over six hundred years, the Catholic Church operated one of the most feared systems of control the world has ever seen — not through armies or kings, but through questions. Were you a heretic? A witch? A secret Jew? A woman with knowledge? A man with doubts? You wouldn’t know until they knocked. In this darkly gripping and deeply researched history, James Johnson walks you through the smoke-filled chambers and torchlit streets of the Inquisition — from its earliest whispers in medieval France to its bloody climax in Spain, Portugal, Goa, and the New World.

Gold plates. Lost tribes. Prophets in the Americas. You’ve heard of it. You’ve seen the commercials. But what does the Book of Mormon actually say? This book walks you through it — with no spin, no theology, and no sales pitch. From a family fleeing Jerusalem to wars in the wilderness. From ancient American empires to Jesus Christ descending in glory, it’s all here. Prophets, plates, and Jesus in America. Whether you believe it or not — this is what it says.

What happens when faith picks up a sword? From the blood-soaked streets of Jerusalem to the burning of Constantinople, Deus Vult tells the full, unflinching story of the Crusades — the wars that defined medieval Christendom, reshaped the world, and left behind a legacy of violence, myth, and madness. This isn’t your average textbook history. It’s raw, irreverent, and razor-sharp. JJ delivers a fast-paced, brutally clear narrative of how the Crusades actually happened — without the gloss, without the Sunday school edits, and without pretending anyone knew what they were doing.

What do shamans, Freud, rats, TikTok, and your mother all have in common? They’ve all shaped how we try to make sense of the human mind. Psychology 101 is the crash course you never got. A sharp, irreverent walk through the strange saga of how humans have studied humans. From ancient soul-healing rituals to modern therapy apps, this book traces the rise of psychology across twelve iconic chapters. You’ll meet the gods of the field (Freud, Jung, Skinner, Maslow), the ghosts they chased (trauma, shadow, madness), and the machines that took over (algorithms, feeds, and digital brains).

What if the Bible was only half the story? In 1945, a sealed jar was unearthed in the Egyptian desert. Inside: a set of ancient texts that no one was supposed to read. Known now as the Nag Hammadi Library, these 1,600-year-old writings include lost gospels, secret revelations, and alternative takes on Jesus, God, creation, and reality itself. This book walks you straight into the fire. Not with dogma — but with myth, metaphor, and the actual words the early Church buried. You’ll meet the Demiurge, a false god who thinks he’s the real one. You’ll hear Jesus speak in riddles.

A sacred herb. A stoner joke. A billion-dollar industry. A criminal offense. Cannabis has worn a thousand masks — medicine, menace, miracle, meme — depending on the era, the culture, and who was holding the power. In High Society, JJ delivers a sharp, surprising, and deeply human history of the plant that refuses to stay in one box. From ancient rituals in India and burial rites in Scythian tombs to jazz clubs, sweat lodges, courtrooms, and dispensary chains, this book follows weed's journey through the world's empires, religions, revolutions, and contradictions.

Charles Darwin didn’t set out to destroy the old story of life. He just couldn’t look away from the cracks in it. From the deck of the Beagle to the hills of the Galápagos, Darwin saw what others missed — tiny details, local variations, uncomfortable truths. His theory of natural selection reshaped biology, shattered theology, and sparked one of the most dangerous ideas in human history: we are not separate from nature… we are subject to it. This is the story of a quiet man who changed the world — not with force, but with focus.

He wasn’t just the man who discovered gravity. He was the man who tried to measure God. Isaac Newton is often remembered as the cold genius who sat under an apple tree and changed the world with a single thought. But the truth is far stranger — and far more human. Heaven’s Codebreaker peels back the myth to reveal the obsessive, secretive, visionary mind behind modern science.

For centuries, college was a temple — a place of ideas, inquiry, and dusty robes. But somewhere between the monastery and the marketing department, something changed. In Campus, Inc., JJ takes listeners on a sly, engaging journey through the history of higher education. From theology lectures in medieval Europe to stadium-sized campuses with climbing walls and billion-dollar football programs, this is the story of how college became a business — and how success got sold, one loan at a time. This isn’t a takedown. It’s a timeline.

In Jesus in 60: Why Does God Allow Suffering?, best-selling author Vic Johnson doesn't offer clichés. Drawing from his own heartbreak after losing his daughter, he walks with you through the real questions—the kind you whisper in the dark when faith feels fragile.

Through honest stories, simple logic, and surprising evidence—from astrophysicist Hugh Ross's study of cosmic fine-tuning to André Frossard's encounter with God in a Paris chapel—Vic Johnson builds a bridge between your doubts and the possibility of a personal Creator who knows your name.

In just one hour, Amazon bestselling author Vic Johnson takes you beyond Sunday sermons into the evidence that built the world's most radical faith. You'll meet skeptics who investigated the resurrection only to be surprised by where the facts led them—investigative journalist Lee Strobel, resurrection scholar Gary Habermas, even a writer who set out to debunk the story and ended up believing it.

From an early age, Melanie M Johnson recognized she was different. She understood life for her would not be the same as others, however she had no idea what this difference would entail. Facing trauma after trauma, she found herself alone, surrounded by those she thought would love and protect her. But no one could protect her from the things she had to endure. Facing reality brought her to her breaking point, where she thought it would be better to not even exist.

Before we knew anything else, we had to decide what mattered. This is the story of that decision. History 101 is a time-bending, mind-bending deep dive into the very idea of history itself — how it started, who told it, what got erased, and why it still shapes everything we believe about ourselves. From firelight myths to Mesopotamian propaganda, medieval scribes to Enlightenment idealists, textbook wars to TikTok historians, this book tracks the strange evolution of how humans record the past — and how those records reflect the present more than we like to admit.

Elise, an artist grieving the loss of her son and a fracturing marriage, is in North Norfolk to restore Marsh House to its former glory, its walls adorned with the fading murals and paintings of its long-ago owner, Lilias Carter-Brown. Elise makes an immediate connection to the house, to Sam—a carpenter and a comfort—and to history itself when an old photograph draws Elise into Lilias’s heartbreaking past. In 1939, with war threatening, Lilias and her sister turn Marsh House into a sanctuary for London evacuees—a young boy and his mother.

What does it really feel like to live in the world’s most powerful police state? Not from the outside. Not from the headlines. From the inside. This book isn’t a political exposé. It doesn’t rant. It doesn’t accuse. Instead, it walks — through the apartments, schools, subways, offices, phones, and daily routines of modern China. Life Inside China is calm, neutral, and observational — but quietly devastating. It shows, without saying, how surveillance becomes normal… How silence becomes safety… And how freedom fades not with violence, but with optimization.
