Bible myths exploded on WND cruise

Joe Kovacs

Joe Kovacs, author of the forthcoming book, "Shocked by the Bible: The Most Astonishing Facts You've Never Been Told," joins WorldNetDaily readers on a week-long cruise this January in the Caribbean.

The Jan. 6-13 cruise, part of WND's 10-year-anniversary celebration, will feature Joseph Farah, Elizabeth Farah, David Kupelian, Jerome Corsi and other WND celebrity guests – including Kovacs – as they seek to answer the tough questions that face America during WND's inaugural cruise event, which will focus on "America: The Next 10 Years." During seven luxurious days in the Eastern Caribbean, you will enjoy and engage your favorite WND authors on a daily basis during intense sessions and moderated discussion groups among like-minded patriots.

And you can join this luxury cruise of a lifetime for only $640 a person.

Kovacs, the executive news editor of WND, is known for crafting those hard-hitting and clever headlines that make WND's news product so much more interesting than other news agencies.

In "Shocked by the Bible," Kovacs stuns readers who thought they knew what was in the greatest book of all time, the Holy Bible. For instance, did you know:

God wanted to kill Moses?
There were not just two of every kind of animal aboard Noah's Ark?
Jesus said no one has gone to heaven except Himself?
"Christmas" is not mentioned in the Bible?
"The Three Wise Men" appear nowhere in the Bible, and none are ever mentioned visiting baby Jesus in the manger?

"If people actually knew what was in their Bible – the astounding facts they've never heard – they'd rush to crack it open and get the surprise of their lives," said Kovacs.

Kovacs holds nothing back as he quotes directly from the Scriptures to address scores of incredible issues of which many people are simply unaware.

Did you know:

The word "Easter" has vanished from today's Bibles?
The Bible doesn't say Jesus died on a Friday, or rose from the grave Sunday morning?
The Bible talks about "gay" sex with angels?
The practice of decking a tree with silver and gold is actually condemned by God?
Animals had meaningful discussions with people?
The Bible calls the devil "god"?

Rave reviews

Here's what some well-known people are saying about "Shocked by the Bible":

If you think you really know the Bible, better think again. Joe Kovacs takes a close look at the greatest story ever told and separates myth from reality. My favorite parts of the book deal with Christmas and Easter. Check out "Shocked by the Bible." You may well be shocked. – Bill O'Reilly, anchor, Fox News Channel

Your parents never told you THIS STUFF was in the Bible. – Melanie Morgan, co-author "American Mourning," KSFO Radio talk-show host, San Francisco

"Shocked by the Bible" is nothing short of genius. From start to finish, Joe Kovacs turns the subject of Scripture into a fun-filled, information treasure that's virtually impossible to put down. The truth of what's really in the Bible will simply stun the world. With the exception of the Holy Bible itself, there's never been another book like this. – Joseph Farah, editor of WND

Kovacs is an acclaimed journalist who has spent more than 24 years covering news in the broadcast, print and online media, receiving multiple first-place awards for news coverage from the Associated Press and United Press International.

His career began in radio, with 10 years on the air as a news reporter and anchor reaching the network level, covering stories from Hurricane Andrew to the fall of evangelists Jim and Tammy Bakker. He then ran television newsrooms for network affiliates in Miami and West Palm Beach, and lived and worked in Europe as an editor for the Budapest Business Journal.

Not only does Kovacs scour the planet's newspapers for WND news links and come up with snappy headlines, he has personally broken numerous major stories, from Cindy Sheehan calling terrorists "freedom fighters," to the purported discovery of chariot wheels at the bottom of the Red Sea.

Kovacs is also well-known for his annual roundup of the funniest news stories of the year.

He is no stranger to biblical issues, having done in-depth reports on searches for Noah's Ark and the Ark of the Covenant, and controversies over Christmas and Easter holidays, as well as the Saturday-vs.-Sunday Sabbath. He has even covered claims that voices of singing angels have been caught on tape.
