  • Lurking Under the Surface - Horror Religion and the Questions that Haunt Us - cover

    Lurking Under the Surface -...

    Horror can be a valuable conversation partner for the spiritual questions that animate so many of us. 
     
     
     
    Whether through a movie, television show, novel, or even myth, horror as a genre has always spoken to our deepest human fears and anxieties: fear of death, of the unknown, of knowing too much. Whether you're looking at classic narratives like Frankenstein, or contemporary films like Get Out, which explores racism and white guilt, horror provides a window into our culture and what makes us human. The same can be said of religion. 
     
     
     
    Horror movie buff and religion scholar Brandon Grafius finds common ground between these two seemingly disparate bedfellows—horror and religion—in Lurking under the Surface. What parallels can we draw between The Walking Dead and sacred texts? How do the stories of Hebrew Christian scriptures and apocalyptic films like A Quiet Place and Bird Box help us find hope when it's in short supply? When we treat them both seriously, we see that horror movies and religion lead us through the same sets of questions. Both explore questions of justice, hope, and our relationship to the world and the cosmos. And both offer us ways to make meaning out of the contradictory pieces of our world—a world filled with so much hope and so many recognizable fears lurking just beneath the surface.

  • Western Hostility to Russia - The Hidden Background to War in Ukraine - cover

    Western Hostility to Russia -...

    What are the origins of the war in Ukraine? Contrary to popular opinion, the conflict is ultimately not between Russia and Ukraine but between Russia and the West. Neither did it begin with Russia's invasion in 2022, nor the Maidan revolution in 2014.
    Providing a wealth of documented evidence, Terry Boardman shows that the roots of the hostility date back to the geopolitics of the nineteenth century, when Britain and Russia engaged in the so-called Great Game of controlling the 'heartland' of central Eurasia. With colonial supremacy at stake, the British ruling elite stoked hatred of the 'Russian bear'.
    In addition to conventional political motivations, the author identifies a little-known, esoteric dimension. Within the leadership of the Anglo-American West are initiated groups who understand that world guidance is destined eventually to move to the Slavic East. With the aim of maintaining control, the West has been seeking, pre-emptively, to suppress Russia's influence.
    Surveying the 'hot' and 'cold' wars of the twentieth century, the collapse of the USSR and the continual enlargement of NATO, Boardman reveals the hidden strategies employed in realizing the above goal, which has culminated in militarization, exploitation and mass death in Eastern Europe.
    Can we become aware of the subliminal, oppressive methods of our ruling elites? If we are to become free, we need at least to understand them. With political, historical and spiritual perspectives, this short book is a worthy primer.

    This is a bundle of 5 books, which are the following: 
    · Children's Rights: Children represent the future of our societies, yet they remain among the most vulnerable and marginalized populations worldwide. The protection of children's rights has become one of the most critical global issues in the 21st century, demanding urgent attention and action. 
    · Human Trafficking: Human trafficking is one of the gravest human rights abuses of our time, affecting millions of individuals across the globe. It is a hidden yet pervasive crime that exploits people for labor, sex, and other forms of servitude. 
    · Organ Harvesting: Organ harvesting represents one of the most pressing and disturbing ethical challenges of our time. This practice involves the removal of organs from individuals, often without consent, for transplantation or sale on the black market. While organ transplantation has revolutionized modern medicine, saving countless lives, the dark underbelly of the industry reveals a stark contrast—one where human rights are systematically violated, and vulnerable populations are exploited. 
    · Sexism: Sexism, a deeply entrenched social issue, has been pervasive throughout human history, shaping the experiences of individuals and communities across the globe. At its core, sexism refers to the belief that one gender is superior to another, typically manifesting in the unequal treatment and opportunities given to individuals based on their gender. 
    · Racism: Racism has been a persistent and destructive force throughout human history, shaping societies, cultures, and institutions in ways that continue to reverberate today. It manifests in myriad forms—through prejudice, discrimination, systemic inequities, and violence—targeting individuals and groups based on their race or ethnicity.

    What’s Wrong With Socialism: A Biblical Investigation For Everyone takes a clear, accessible look at one of the most debated political and economic systems of our time—through the lens of the Bible. 
    Author Daniel Alan Brubaker, PhD explores socialism not just as an abstract theory, but as a lived reality with deep implications for human freedom, justice, wealth, and responsibility. Drawing on Scripture, history, and practical examples, Brubaker asks whether socialism’s promises of equality and fairness hold up when tested against biblical principles and real-world outcomes. 
    This audiobook helps listeners understand:The core ideas of socialism and why they appeal to many.How socialism differs from voluntary sharing and generosity modeled in the Bible.What Scripture teaches about wealth, justice, and the proper use of possessions.The dangers of materialism, state control, and the suppression of personal responsibility.How mercy and justice are often confused in debates about public policy. 
    Written in straightforward, non-technical language, this is a biblical investigation for everyone—students, pastors, church groups, anyone wrestling with the promises and pitfalls of socialism. Brubaker takes the topic seriously, showing where and why socialism ultimately fails the biblical test. 
    Whether you are new to the discussion or already familiar with political and economic debates, this audiobook will equip you with clear categories and biblical grounding to think more deeply about socialism and its alternatives. 
    For Christians seeking clarity in an age of confusion, or for anyone interested in the intersection of faith, economics, and justice, What’s Wrong With Socialism offers a compelling and thought-provoking guide.
