Sanctified Mammon:
Capitalism, Empire, and the Disease of a Compromised Gospel |
Capitalism is not just an economy. It is a god. For centuries, Mammon has worn many masks — empire, monarchy, industry, Wall Street, the dollar. But his most dangerous disguise has been in the church itself, where greed has been baptized as blessing and busyness mistaken for faithfulness. Sanctified Mammon: Capitalism, Empire, and the Disease of a Compromised Gospel unmasks Mammon not only as a system but as a false god, as the personified spirit of greed who demands sacrifice from nations and allegiance from the church. Drawing on history, theology, and prophetic witness, this book shows how: • Rome laid the foundations for Mammon’s empire. • Banking dynasties like the Fuggers and Rothschilds perfected his throne. • America became his chosen altar, enthroning debt, war, and consumerism as virtues. • The prosperity gospel crowned Mammon in the sanctuary of God’s people. But Mammon’s reign is not eternal. With clarity and conviction, Sanctified Mammon calls the church back to the cross — to a gospel of grace, justice, and hope that resists Mammon’s disease and proclaims the kingdom of God. This is not just economics. This is idolatry. This is spiritual warfare.

Unholy Alliance:
Christian Nationalism, Zionism, and the Betrayal of the Kingdom of God |
What if the greatest threat to the Church isn’t the world—but the empire we’ve embraced in Jesus’ name?
Unholy Alliance exposes the long, tangled history between Christianity and political power—from Rome to Nazi Germany, from American civil religion to modern-day Christian Zionism. With sharp theological insight and prophetic urgency it shows how the gospel has been hijacked to serve empire, nationalism, and domination. But this book doesn’t stop at critique. Drawing on the bold eschatology of Jürgen Moltmann, it dares to imagine a Church freed from nationalism, faithful in exile, and filled with a better hope. If you’re disillusioned with the politicization of Christianity, or longing for a deeper, truer gospel, this book will help you reclaim your faith—not for empire, but for the kingdom of God. |
A Counterfeit Gospel: American Christianity (Dispensationalism) as Heresy and the Rise of a Parallel Religion
|
Dispensationalism: The Other Gospel
In this bold and timely booklet, the author exposes the theological system of Dispensationalism as a modern counterfeit of the gospel of Jesus Christ. What has often passed as "biblical prophecy" and "rightly dividing the Word" is revealed to be a distortion that fractures the Bible, divides God's people, and rebrands empire as Christianity. With theological clarity and pastoral urgency, this work traces how American churches have adopted a false gospel- one that replaces Christ's kingdom with nationalism, grace with legalism, and the cross with political power. Drawing on Scripture, history, and sound theology, A Counterfeit Gospel challenges readers to reexamine what they've been taught and return to the liberating truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ. This short but packed book is a call to discernment for believers and a warning for churches that have unwittingly embraced heresy. |
Grace Exposed: Uncovering Grace in a World of Religion and Judgment
|
In a world where religion often distorts the message of grace into systems of exclusion, performance, and judgment, Grace Exposed uncovers the scandalous truth of divine grace as revealed in Jesus Christ. This is not a tame or comfortable grace- it is a disruptive force that breaks boundaries, confronts legalism, embraces the marginalized, and forms a new kind of community rooted in love.
Drawing deeply from the theology of Jurgen Moltmann and Karl Barth, this book offers a prophetic critique of modern religion and a passionate call to rediscover the grace that religion has often hidden. It is a theologically rich, pastorally sensitive, and spiritually awakening journey for anyone yearning to see grace unveiled in its raw, revolutionary power. This is not an exposition of Scripture alone- it is an exposition of our world, our theologies, and the grace that still breaks through them all. |
On Earth as it is in Heaven: Rekindling
Hope By Re-Engaging With The Lord's Prayer |
For centuries, the Lord's Prayer has been recited in churches, whispered in solitude, and etched into the hearts of believers. Yet, beneath its familiar words lies a revolutionary call to action and a summons to embody God's kingdom of justice, peace, and love in the here and now.In this provocative and hope-filled exploration, inspired by the theologians Karl Barth and Juergen Moltmann, "On Earth as It Is in Heaven" confronts how the Church has lost sight of the transformative power of the prayer Jesus taught. How did the radical vision of God's kingdom become domesticated, reduced to routine words rather than a lived reality? Why do systems of injustice and complacency persist among those who pray for God's will to be done?
This book calls readers to rediscover the Lord's Prayer as a manifesto for resistance against inequality, oppression, and greed and a guide for re-engaging with the world as participants in God's unfolding kingdom. With clarity and urgency, it invites believers to take up the challenge of Jesus' vision: to confront the powers that oppose the kingdom and live into the hope of new creation. The Lord's Prayer is not just a prayer, it is a mission. |

From Songs of
Freedom to Imperial Flags: An Irish Republican Reckoning in America |
Generations ago, Irish men and women fled famine, genocide, war, and British imperial oppression, carrying with them the songs, stories, and dreams of freedom. In America, they found similar treatments, oppression, and discrimination. They managed to find work, safety, and a place to call home — but in the process, many traded the green flag of liberation for the stars and stripes of empire.
This booklet is a stark and unflinching look at how the descendants of exiles became defenders of the very systems of power their ancestors resisted. It asks: What happens when a people who once fought the empire become part of it? Drawing on history, politics, and a theology of resistance, From Songs of Freedom to Imperial Flags calls the Irish at home and abroad to remember the truth of our struggle — and to choose again between serving Empire or standing for freedom everywhere. |
