5. Ponzinomics
The Untold Story of Multi-Level Marketing in America
An investigative examination of the multi-level marketing industry, it traces the model’s origins and explosive growth, explains how endless-chain recruitment, exaggerated income claims, and cult-like training create a mirage of opportunity, and shows why most participants inevitably lose money. Drawing on case studies, regulatory history, and insider documents, it details the role of lobbying and legal loopholes in shielding the business from oversight, the psychological techniques used to retain recruits, and the social and financial costs borne by families and communities. The result is both a historical analysis and a consumer warning about how a predatory commercial system persists in plain sight.

6. Give Them Grace
This book argues that parents should raise children with a gospel-centered approach rather than moralism, showing how to distinguish between justification (how we are saved) and sanctification (how we grow) and to communicate God's unconditional love even while correcting wrong behavior; it offers theological explanation and practical guidance for disciplining, counseling, and conversing with kids so that correction points them to Christ’s forgiveness instead of performance-based acceptance, replacing shame and legalistic rules with grace-filled relationships and steady modeling of repentance and mercy.
