    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.

    A guide for those looking to combine traditional ministry with modern support for children, teens, and adults with common mental health conditions and their families. 
    The church across North America has struggled to minister effectively with people struggling with mental health issues. One reason for the lack of ministry is the absence of a widely accepted model for mental health outreach and inclusion. 
    In Mental Health and the Church, Dr. Stephen Grcevich presents a simple and flexible model for mental health inclusion ministry for implementation by churches of all sizes, denominations, and organizational styles. The model is based upon recognition of seven barriers to church attendance and assimilation resulting from mental illness: 
     stigma,anxiety,self-control,differences in social communication and sensory processing,social isolation,and past experiences of church. 
      
    Seven broad inclusion strategies are presented for helping persons of all ages with common mental health conditions and their families to fully participate in all of the ministries offered by the local church. 
      
    Mental Health and the Church is a useful resource for parents, grandparents, and spouses interested in promoting the spiritual growth of loved ones with mental illness.
