Until 10 p.m. Pacific tonight, WorldNetDaily is giving away FREE one of the most sensational and best-selling books it has ever offered the public – "Shooting Back: The Right and Duty of Self Defense."

Authored by a South African who became a national hero when, caught in a terrorist attack on a church service, he struck back against the attackers with his concealed .38 – this inspiring book will be sent as a free gift to every WND reader who subscribes or renews their subscription to Whistleblower, or who gives a gift Whistleblower subscription before the offer ends.

"Shooting Back," by Charl Van Wyk, makes a biblical, Christian case for individuals arming themselves with guns, and does so more persuasively than perhaps any other book. Van Wyk explains that he learned the real importance of being armed, in all places, while in church:

Grenades were exploding in flashes of light. Pews shattered under the blasts, sending splinters flying through the air. An automatic assault rifle was being fired and was fast ripping the pews - and whoever, whatever was in its trajectory - to pieces. We were being attacked!

Instinctively, I knelt down behind the bench in front of me and pulled out my .38 special snub-nosed revolver, which I always carried with me. I would have felt undressed without it. Many people could not understand why I would carry a firearm into a church service, but I argued that this was a particularly dangerous time in South Africa …

Like many "heroes," Charl Van Wyk was an ordinary Christian man until the day he was called upon to be extraordinary. The date was July 25, 1993, and the event would later become known as the St. James Massacre. Charl was catapulted to the media's attention by shooting back at the terrorists who attacked the innocent congregation.

Using his personal and high-profile story as a launch-pad, Charl Van Wyk goes on to deal with the burning questions that plague all conscience-driven people:

• Should we carry arms?

• When is it appropriate to defend ourselves and our families?

• What can we do when our freedom to carry arms is legislated away from us?

Read Van Wyk's answers and you'll understand why this book is one of WND's best-sellers.

Controversial, explosive, truthful

Each monthly edition of WND's popular Whistleblower magazine tackles a single topic – a controversial, often explosive, and almost always politically incorrect topic, but one of immense importance to the lives of Americans. Recent issues have focused on: The United Nations; the destructive nature of government schools; the "gay rights" movement's secret agenda; abortion; and the radical environmentalist movement.

The current issue, titled "RETURN OF THE NUCLEAR THREAT," is a chilling investigative expose of the very real nuclear threats – both from terrorists and from nuclear-equipped rogue nations – to the American homeland in 2004.

Many people have said "Shooting Back" is the most powerful, persuasive book they've ever read on – as the title says – the right and duty of self-defense.
