  1. 1. The Glory Of The Invisible God

    Two Powers in Heaven Traditions and Early Christian Trinitarian Theology

    A study of how ancient Jewish “two powers in heaven” traditions and the notion of the divine Glory (Kavod) informed early high Christology, proposing that a visible, exalted mediator made the invisible deity knowable in visionary and worship contexts. Drawing on apocalyptic, Enochic, and rabbinic materials and figures such as Metatron, Yahoel, Adam, and the Logos, it traces debates about divine embodiment, heavenly enthronement, and veneration that shaped the earliest Christian claims about the status of Christ.

  2. 2. Reinventing Collapse

    The Soviet Example and American Prospects

    Drawing lessons from the Soviet Union's collapse, this darkly humorous analysis argues that modern industrial societies, especially the United States, face intertwined vulnerabilities in energy, finance, and governance that can trigger institutional failure. It pairs personal observations with pragmatic advice, urging reduced consumption, local and low-tech self-reliance, and strong community ties as practical strategies for navigating a protracted decline.

  3. 4. The Adhd Effect On Marriage

    A practical, compassionate guide that explains how adult ADHD symptoms—such as distractibility, impulsivity, inconsistent follow-through, and emotional reactivity—can erode communication, trust, and intimacy in long-term relationships, and shows couples how to recognize ADHD-driven patterns, reduce blame, and rebuild teamwork through education, clearer expectations, targeted strategies (organization, time-management, accountability), and appropriate treatment and therapy.
