Preparing for the unthinkable: A dirty bomb

The world's a smaller place these days, with the Internet making even jet travel seem tedious, but as the globe has gotten smaller, the dangers appear to be on the rise and the possibility of being exposed to radiation ever increasing.

The one defense for consumers is the knowledge of what is going on, and they realize that, and have pushed the Radsticker Miniature Radiation Detector into the top spot among best-sellers this week at WND's SuperStore.

It's just a peal-and-stick, postage stamp-sized dosimeter, but it can be applied to a driver's license or anything else you carry around, and provides that critical information should there ever be a radiation emergency.

Experts say there are some 375 sources or devices with radiation stolen or lost each year – just in the United States. And what about the hundreds of thousands of radiation sources that are in other parts of the world, parts of the world where radicals sometimes are antagonistic to the United States?

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

With this information, first responders are able to triage quickly those actually exposed and in need of medical attention among the sea of people who naturally will feel sick just from worry and fear of radiation exposure during a crisis.

RADStickers both quell public fear and panic and allow first responders and medical resources to then focus where most urgently needed.

In second place is a book outlining the Christian testimony of Karl Marx.

That's just one of the shocking revelations in "Marx & Satan," a classic book by Richard Wurmbrand.

Wurmbrand was the heroic pastor and evangelist imprisoned and tortured repeatedly by a communist regime. He explored extensively the roots of Marx' beliefs and found that Marx wrote an essay at age 17 called "The Union of the Faithful with Christ."

In it, Marx wrote, "Through love of Christ we turn our hearts at the same time toward our fellow brethren who are inwardly bound to us and for whom He gave Himself as sacrifice."

So what changed Marx into the inventor of one of the worst tools of oppression to Christianity?

The turning point, according to Wurmbrand, was the university education Marx obtained, where he was taught a new "Christian doctrine" called "liberal theology."

Wurmbrand exposes how Marx learned to hate God and Christians, and eventually joined a satanic cult of his closest comrades.

Why was Marx bent on the destruction of mankind? "We will never know for sure, but we do know what he wrote … 'I wander godlike and victorious Through the ruins of the world, And giving my words an active force, I will feel equal to my Creator,'" the book explains.

It was in 1966 when Wurmbrand testified before the U.S. Senate on the torture of Christians and stripped to the waist to reveal 18 deep torture wounds on his body.

"This is a book that deserves to be in the library of every truly informed and freedom-loving person in the world," said Joseph Farah, founder of WND Books. "But, more importantly, it needs to be read."

In third place is the iLumina Bible software: The interactive Bible for the entire family.

It's a software package – compilation of information – that reaches out and answers the needs of the entire family. It includes stunning animation of Bible passages from both the Old and New Testaments, state-of-the-art virtual tours of key Bible places, such as Jerusalem, 1,500 photographs, 400 Bible maps and charts and 8,900 encyclopedia articles.

Made for both Windows and Mac users, the software "is the Bible software that gives you everything you need to make exploring the Bible fun. Kids love the animations. Teenagers enjoy clicking through the virtual tours. Parents love the wholesome, biblical message loaded on their family's computer."
