Bible study? No, Bible experience

Those who study the Bible go directly to their favorite translation, be it the King James, the Geneva or another. But wouldn't it be helpful to have a set of maps detailing where events happened, photographs of those locations today, and even virtual tours that help a reader understand what is on the written page?

Those are exactly the options that are being made available to Bible readers today with the iLumina Bible Software: The Interactive Bible for the Entire Family, which was the No. 1 best-seller this week at the WND Superstore.

The package includes animation of Bible passages from both the Old and New Testaments, state-of-the-art virtual tours of key biblical locations including Jerusalem, and 1,500 photographs of the sites of the Bible story.

There also are hundreds of maps and charts, nearly 9,0000 encyclopedia articles and other resources that make studying the foundations of Christianity an attraction for children and adults alike.

For teens, the virtual tours are a highlight, and for parents, the fact that the Bible's message is in residence on their computer is pleasing.

The DVD-ROM product has 1,300 Bible studies, some 1,000 small group guides and the profiles of 140 of the people in the Bible.

It works on virtually all Windows systems with a processor of Pentium III and a speed of 800 MHz or higher. Operating systems include Windows 2000 Pro, XP or Vista. Mac users will need OS 10.3.

In second place is "Crashing the Dollar: How to Survive a Global Currency Collapse," a paperback by Craig R. Smith and Lowell Ponte.

The authors have analyzed the current economic downturn – the worst since the Great Depression – and believe soon to follow will be "severe inflation that could destroy the value of the U.S. dollar."

The book explains that inflation is coming because the U.S. now has combined short-term and long-term obligations of more than $120 trillion.

That's $120,000,000,000,000.00.

How could that be? And more importantly, what does it mean?

"The most politically palatable way to pay these obligations is by 'monetizing the debt,' running tens of trillions of dollars off the printing press, which will cause the dollar's value to plunge and prices to soar," the authors explain.

"Such a deluge of dollars would cause severe inflation – perhaps even hyperinflation – in the U.S., as well as a potential domino-effect collapse of the U.S. dollar and other major currencies and economics around the world," they explain.

The authors believe the tidal wave that could be coming against the U.S. dollar and economy "might be President Barack Obama's real secret aim in his policies that can destroy free enterprise and American power worldwide by deliberately crashing the dollar."

In third place is the "RADSticker: Miniature Radiation Detector."

In the real world, where it is possible that multiple terrorist organizations are accessing the materials to build a "dirty bomb" of radioactive ingredients and conventional explosives, preparation is always a good thing.

The RADSticker is a postage stamp-sized, instant color developing dosimeter that can be with you 24/7, stuck onto the back of your drivers license or anything you keep close for any future radiation emergency.

It is non-electrical, reliable, rugged and useful for determining radiation exposure and if medical treatment is required in a major radiological incident, such as a nuclear or dirty bomb explosion, nuclear power plant accident or mishandled radiation sources.

Officials report just in the U.S. alone that there are some 375 sources or radiation devices that go missing each year.

The RADSticker can help wearers minimize additional radiation exposure. And the device can allow first-responders to triage quickly those who actually are in need of medical attention from among the sea of people who may have had some level of exposure.
