Audiobooks

At Wisdom Harbour, when a “classic” is recorded, certain old English words are replaced by their modern equivalent. The meaning of every paragraph in every story remains the same. The book is, however, delivered to the listener in an understandable way. So…sit back, close your eyes, and listen with your imagination!



I Was There...

Most of us just read about history. On this dock, however, the people featured were a part of history. Now, you can experience some of the 20th century’s most significant events from the vivid memories of those who were actually present. They will tell you the stories that the text books left out. And they will remind you…”I was there.”



In Other Words

This dock features short videos that are used to expose the meaning in a wordy piece of literature or history we still recognize, but have honestly never understood. A part of the original piece is “performed.” Then, those words are delivered in today’s language and explained…with a few smart remarks added for good measure!



Writers

This carefully maintained dock holds a growing collection of the written word. Here, you’ll find thought provoking articles, unique stories, private letters, personal notes, deep musings, and occasionally, even poetry. Much of the content here has never been shared publicly. For whatever reason, some pieces were tucked away by the writer for years. Now, it’s all available for you.
