The Fraud of the Century Never in human history have basic freedoms been taken away on such a global scale. Unscrupulous scientists genetically enhanced a cold virus to make it more lethal, and power-hungry bureaucrats used fear to impose punitive lockdowns, destroy lives and businesses, and threaten people with their jobs for refusing an experimental vaccine. What if none of this had to happen? What if tests were manipulated to guarantee false positive results? What if the number of Covid deaths was grossly exaggerated? What if safe, effective treatments were withheld? What if the very real dangers of the vaccine are being concealed from the public? Dr. Michael Crossley is an E.R. physician who's been living on the frontlines of the pandemic. In this book, he shows you what conditions are like on the ground. What you learn might surprise you. These are the truths about Covid-19 that you won't get from the government or the media. They are the observations of a doctor in the trenches.

"There is a force in our everyday lives that we aren't even aware of-and it's so powerful it threatens to derail otherwise promising careers and lives: microstress. It's the hidden epidemic of small moments of anxiety that infiltrate both our work and personal lives. Because each individual microstress is so small, it doesn't trigger the normal stress response in our brains to help us deal with it. Instead, the microstress just embeds in our minds, accumulating along with scores of other microstresses, day-to-day and week-to-week. The long-term effect is devastating: microstress invisibly weighs us down, damages our physical and emotional health, and contributes to a decline in our overall well-being. What's more, microstress is baked into our lives. The source of microstress is seldom a classic antagonist, such as a demanding client or jerk boss. Instead, it comes from the people-in and out of work-with whom we are closest: our friends, family, and colleagues. The good news is that once you learn about microstress, you can fight back. Drawing on fresh research, Rob Cross and Karen Dillon will teach you how to recognize and manage the most common forms of microstress, and even remove some from your life. Compelling interviews with high achievers who've endured their share of microstress bring to life best practices that show you how to build resilience against microstress, and ultimately how to find purpose in your everyday life, using it as an antidote to your own microstress. It's time to break free from the microstress that's stealing your life. Start here"-- Provided by publisher

"Rose of Calcutta by Dr. Paul Chiles tells of Rose Nawalker, an Indian from a Brahmin/Buddhist background, who became a Christian, put up with shunning by her family, and helped found World Vision and later Samaritan's Purse in India. Like the best travel books, it provides a window into a part of the world out of sight to most Westerners." - Susan Olasky, World Magazine July 16, 2011
