Daniel Alan Brubaker

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.

Man Up! - The Quest for Masculinity

Jeffrey Hemmer

What does it mean to be a man? Sacrifice.  Man Up! doesn't tell you to take down the feminists or reclaim your God-given role and rights. Real masculinity starts with giving of yourself for the good of those around you and in your care. It's counter-cultural-and it's exactly how God designed biblical manhood.  This book is a call to fix your eyes and your hope on the Man up on the cross and to find in His selfless sacrifice the perfect example for manliness in our self-indulgent, self-centered society. That's where Man Up! really stands out in the crowd. Don't pick up these pages expecting to find an ideal man you should strive to be. This book is anchored in a different ideal. In the person of Jesus Christ, God became man. What Adam lost in his rebellion, Jesus restored in His Incarnation. Jesus is the perfect man. His example sets the paradigm for perfect masculinity. But more importantly, His sacrifice obtains forgiveness and mercy for the rest of us men who are bound to fail in this God-given task to be good men.  Men in all stages of life will appreciate this refreshing perspective-whether you're searching for footing in this crazy culture, seeking a godly relationship with your wife, or looking for guidance on raising children.

The New Testament Complete - New...

Christopher Glyn

The New Testament is well-known for recording the miraculous life and death of Jesus, but it also contains the spread of Christianity by His disciples after the Resurrection. The majority of the New Testament is epistles written by the Apostle Paul and other notable Biblical figures to the new Church, urging them to remain strong in their faith and to not be lead astray by false prophets who sought to mingle Christianity with other beliefs. Finally, the book of Revelations is the climactic finale to the Bible and is filled with predictions about the end of the world and the second coming of Christ to gather all true believers to Heaven where they will live eternally.

Wisdom - The Light of...

Esther Jameson

Wisdom is a multifaceted quality that transcends the mere accumulation of facts and figures. It is the ability to perceive the deeper significance behind everyday experiences and to understand the interplay between knowledge and life’s unpredictable nature. Unlike raw information or even learned expertise, wisdom is characterized by a profound sense of balance and clarity that arises from an open mind and a reflective heart. It is an inner compass that guides us through the complexities of human existence, allowing us to navigate moral dilemmas, understand subtle nuances, and ultimately live in harmony with our values and the world around us.
At its core, wisdom emerges from the synthesis of diverse experiences, insights, and personal reflections. It is the culmination of lessons learned from both successes and failures, each contributing to a broader perspective on life. The journey to wisdom involves not only the acquisition of knowledge but also the deliberate practice of introspection. This process enables individuals to filter out the noise of everyday distractions and focus on what truly matters. Through this continuous engagement with our inner selves, we begin to understand that true wisdom is not static but a dynamic process of growth and self-improvement.
A key element of wisdom is the recognition of our own limitations. Understanding that no one can know everything opens the door to humility, which in turn fosters a mindset of continuous learning. This humility allows us to appreciate the complexity of life and respect the insights offered by others, regardless of their background or status. It is in this space of mutual respect and genuine curiosity that the seeds of wisdom are planted, nurtured by a willingness to question, reflect, and adapt. Furthermore, wisdom is not solely an individual pursuit; it flourishes in communities where shared experiences and collective reflection pave the way for deeper understanding.
