New Releases by Jeff Brown

In Trudeau'' s Kitchen is a shocking revelation of how an ordinary citizen can become the target of not only the political world-- but of an invisible empire of covert systems, governmental agencies, and even the corporations we depend on daily. Brown'' s story exposes the dark arsenal wielded by power-brokers to direct human consciousness through cyber-manipulation, algorithmic polarization, and targeted surveillance. With bold new language, this book calls out the '' techno-terrorists'' and '' invis-bullies'' who influence our online and offline communities. In a visceral and deeply relatable way, In Trudeau'' s Kitchen exposes the true nature of abuse of power, while arming us with the tools to confront it head-on. The reader will come away equipped to better protect themselves from those who seek to utilize technology to turn us against ourselves, and each other. In Trudeau'' s Kitchen is more than an exposé on the invisible world operating behind the scenes. This book also represents the archetypal Hero'' s Journey. It is the candid account of a lone wolf citizen, steadfastly committed to exposing truth to power, while facing unimaginable attack and betrayal.

In this courageous, groundbreaking book, Jeff Brown takes us on the spiritual ride of a lifetime. The book opens with the author''s compelling journey, through a variety of spiritual approaches. Through decades of dedicated exploration and discernment, Brown exposes the transcendent notions of spirituality that limit our human experience. In his fiercely authentic, no-holds-barred style, Brown demonstrates that spirituality is a whole-being awakening, one that heartfully, embraces our entire human experience: our feelings, our stories, our bodies, our relationships with others, and the earth that houses us. Hands-on exercises throughout provide a direct experience of a vital new model. In ''Grounded Spirituality'', the author lays down the tracks for an embodied way of being, one that leaves us ''enrealed,'' integrated, and purposeful. Not transcending our humanness, but finding meaning and spirituality within in, right in the heart of our imperfect daily lives. Back to our roots, back into our bodies, back into all that makes us magnificently human. Home at last...

Debate about church order has gone on for centuries within Christianity, and an end is nowhere in sight. Perhaps that is good, since the debate shows the weaknesses of many ideas that need correction. Corporate Decision-Making in the Church of the New Testament examines church order from a careful exegetical perspective, with particular attention to the social world of the New Testament. While most works about church government address structure and qualities of leadership, Jeff Brown deals with the interaction of the people of the church, both with their leaders and with one another, in setting policy. In brief, though all believers in the young church of the New Testament revered Christ and his Word as authoritative, not all church decisions were from the top down from earthly leaders. On the contrary, many were from the bottom up. This should come as no surprise to those familiar with Jesus'' admonition in the Gospels, You have one teacher, and you are all brothers.
