From the Black Death to smallpox and the Hong Kong flu, seven of the 10 worst plagues in history originated in China. But the COVID-19 pandemic was something entirely new: a genetically engineered pathogen that was deliberately released upon the world for the geopolitical profit of a Communist government. In The Politically Incorrect Guide® to Pandemics, Steven Mosher, a leading authority on China, devastates politically correct narratives about the COVID-19 pandemic and the deadliest plagues in history.

Story
It took nearly two millennia for the enemies of the Catholic Church to realize they could not successfully attack the Church from the outside. Indeed, countless nemeses from Nero to Napoleon succeeded only in creating sympathy and martyrs for our Catholic Faith. That all changed in the mid-19th century, when clandestine societies populated by Modernists and Marxists hatched a plan to subvert the Catholic Church from within. Their goal: to change Her doctrine, Her liturgy, and Her mission.

Story
The quest for social justice is a powerful crusade of our time, with an appeal to many different people, for many different reasons. But those who use the same words do not always present the same meanings. Clarifying those meanings is the first step toward finding out what we agree on and disagree on. From there, it is largely a question of what the facts are. Social Justice Fallacies reveals how many things that are thought to be true simply cannot stand up to documented facts, which are often the opposite of what is widely believed.

Is Atheism Dead? is an entertaining, impressively wide-ranging, and decidedly provocative answer to that famous 1966 Time cover that itself provocatively asked “Is God Dead?” In a voice that is by turns witty, muscular, and poetic, Metaxas intentionally echoes C. S. Lewis and G. K. Chesterton in cheerfully and logically making his astonishing case, along the way presenting breathtaking - and often withering - new evidence and arguments against the idea of a Creatorless universe.

Best-selling author and professor Dr. Taylor Marshall provides an easy-to-understand collection of Church fathers, saints, and mystics as he pulls back the curtain on the end times prophecies of the Book of Revelation—the book originally called the Apocalypse.

In The Bible Is a Catholic Book, Jimmy Akin shows how the Bible cannot exist apart from the church. In its origins and its formulation, in the truths it contains, in its careful preservation over the centuries, and in the prayerful study and elucidation of its mysteries, Scripture is inseparable from Catholicism. This is fitting, since both come from God for our salvation. If you're a Catholic who sometimes gets intimidated by the Bible, The Bible Is a Catholic Book will help you better understand and take pride in this gift that God gave the world through the church.

In this original and riveting exploration, Susan Jacoby argues that conversion - especially in the free American "religious marketplace" - is too often viewed only within the conventional and simplistic narrative of personal reinvention and divine grace. Instead, the author places conversions within a secular social context that has, at various times, included the force of a unified church and state, desire for upward economic mobility, and interreligious marriage.

Prager and Telushkin examine in detail how anti-Semitism is a unique hatred - no other prejudice has been as universal, deep, or permanent - and how the concept of the "chosen people" spawned that hatred.

In this dazzling global history that charts five centuries of innovation and change, Alec Ryrie makes the case that Protestants made the modern world. Protestants introduces us to the men and women who defined and redefined this quarrelsome faith. Some turned to their newly accessible bibles to justify bold acts of political opposition, others to support a new understanding of who they were and what they could and should do. Above all, they were willing to fight for their beliefs.

Among the unsettling social shifts in the wake of 9/11 was the global attention paid to Islam. Here in the United States, we became divided, often sadly along partisan lines, between those who believed every Muslim was a potential threat and those who believed no Muslim could do wrong. For conservative Wisconsin native and former U.S. Navy lieutenant commander Dr. M. Zuhdi Jasser, these radical times meant facing a new reality as a devout Muslim and a patriot - a certain betrayal within his faith.

Past and present civilizations failed and fail for many reasons, but the number-one predictor of a civilization’s survival is its sense of religion—or lack thereof. So argues David Goldman in How Civilizations Die (and Why Islam Is Dying Too). The strength of a civilization’s religion affects its purpose, its fertility rate, and ultimately, its fate, says Goldman—who then argues that, contrary to popular belief, Islamic countries are in the last throes of death while Christian America is in a position to flourish.

Many Christians feel that they are being opposed at every turn by what seems to be a well-orchestrated political and cultural campaign to de-Christianize every aspect of Western culture. They are right, and it goes even further back than the Obama Administration. In Worshipping the State: How Liberalism Became Our State Religion, Benjamin Wiker argues that it is liberals who seek to establish an official state religion: one of unbelief.

Abortion and critical race theory are twin evils born of the same diabolical monster: racism.

In Eraced, John Amanchukwu Sr. dispels the myths surrounding abortion and critical race theory, and uncovers the Left's sinister plot to destroy the Black community and divide the church. Along the way, he brings to light important gospel truths to help all believers learn to think biblically about some of the most important and explosive issues of our day.

Academics, journalists, and popular historians agree: our greatest presidents are the ones who confronted a national crisis and mobilized the entire nation to face it. That’s the conventional wisdom. The chief executives who are celebrated in textbooks and placed in the top echelon of presidents in surveys of experts are the bold leaders - the Woodrow Wilsons and Franklin Roosevelts - who reshaped the United States in line with their grand “vision” for America. Unfortunately, along the way, these “great” presidents inevitably expanded government - and shrank our liberties.

uncomfortably true
When a faithful Catholic hears about figures within the Catholic Church advocating open borders, the seamless garment Doctrine, liberation theology, and a number of other positions that previously they understood to be categorically antithetical to the Catholic church, it is understandable that faithful Catholics might be confused.
Be confused no more.
In entertaining fashion, the author delineates Catholic Doctrine as opposed to what people often think Catholic Doctrine is.
The reader does a generally good job trying to maintain an appropriate level of emotion and intensity at different points, but there are a number of times that words are mispronounced, although those are few.
The chapter breaks and tracks operations are not in alignment with one another. this is maybe one of two minor criticisms of the book that I think are very valid. I believe there are 79 total tracks, and there are certainly not 79 chapters. Where is this does make it more convenient 2 get back into a book at a point closer to where you may have left off, that is usually accomplished in the audible app by itself. I don't know why there are 79 different sections in this book.
the authors list of topics that are dealt with is very broad but generally focuses on areas which are popularly misconstrued vs those positions which are authentically Catholic.
some of the topics dealt with r pacifism, the death penalty, immigration, Liberation theology, socialism, Vatican 2, and a number of others.
a person might think, when looking at the cover, that the book will have no criticism of the right. That is not true. There is adequate criticism provided of a number of right-wing actors that do not support positions which are doctrinally Catholic. There is more than adequate criticism of those such as Murray Rothbard.
The true fulcrum on which the author balances criticism is Catholic Doctrine. Whether from the right or from the left, none of those but claim Catholic alignment but cannot align themselves with the position of the Catholic Church are spared criticism.
in general, the book is excellent. Certainly, there could be some improvements, but not without undermining the breadth or depth of the coverage of the material.
the book manages the trick of being fairly long, but at the end, the reader is surprised and a little bit disappointed that there isn't just one more chapter.

Convincingly flawed on Some Topics
The author doesn't pull any punches. Unfortunately, his punches sometimes aim at strawman man arguments. I really wanted to like this book and some chapters of this book ARE very good.
The author criticizes the Catechism of the Catholic Church, Papal Encyclicals, the Movie Ordo.
It's not upsetting that the author criticizes St. John Paul II the Great, Benedict XVI, and Pope Francis on issues such as immigration, the death penalty, the welfare state, etc. Well, it is; however, the problem is that the author sometimes uses extreme examples to try to prove his point. Readers, listeners, with background on these issues, will be annoyed at the weakness of his arguments on SOME issues.

Part explanation, part rant
The author goes way out of bounds in exploring what he calls Catholicism, reviewing the changing contraception polices of the People's Republic of China, for example, a topic totally irrelevant to Catholic doctrine. This book should be a blog with comments where we can call him on his factual errors, obvious character assassinations, and questionable theology.
As for the performance, I would expect it to be a matter of course for a narrator to go through a book in advance to spot words he/she doesn't know how to pronounce, and get the pronunciations before reading. Then Mr. Lawlor would know, for example, that Augustine is pronounced "Uh-gus'-tin" -- it rhymes with Rustin -- and not "Og'-us-teen."

Good for a laugh
Man, oh, man, (and I do mean m-a-n) does this guy hate feminism! And women. And the American Democratic Party. And anything about abortion. And, well, all tenets other than his own. Whew! There is a misogynistic tirade in nearly every alternating chapter, spewn whilst defending Catholicism. The other chapters are spent just defending Catholicism in one way or another, sometimes defensibly, usually to great comic effect.
I spent every chapter blowing holes in his arguments using rationales he previously offered—which is great fun while walking briskly. There are too many logical fallacies to enumerate here; the short version is that you must be a "faithful" Catholic (by his exact reckoning) and swallow his erroneous rationales, or you are wrong. If you fail to agree with him, you should just leave the church. Hint: just leave the RCC if you are female, the misogny is toxic.
Several places in the book he mentions that Catholics are losing 40% of their born-to-Catholic-parents' demographics. Reading this stream of blind woman-hatred is exactly why, although he fails to mention that women leave the RCC in bigger numbers than men. His chapter on Mary Daly especially expresses Catholicism's misogyny as well as his own.
Yet, I laughed at his centuries-old nonsense and the vehemence with which he delivered his beliefs about how the world should be. The fallacies were *that* obvious and gaping.
Who says that feminists do not have a sense of humor? Once past the chilling effect on women's lives this fellow wants for all women—Catholic or otherwise—the book is really laugh-out-loud humorous, full of ridiculous exaggerations, self-contradictions and inept conclusions.
Read it for a risible look at a couple of thousand of years' of woman-hating defended by a near-raving man that one might picture waving a tattered bible and yelling religious dogma on a crowded city street corner. Worth the chuckle if that is what you are up for in a book.

Awful.
The author starts with an absolute falsehood, and it goes downhill from there. He says that any pope who says anything that contradicts anything any previous pope has said “discredits himself and his office” and becomes a “shadow pope, a ghost pope.”
That is complete BS. Papal infallibility is limited to ex cathedra pronouncements, and there have only been two of those: concerning the Immaculate Conception and the Annunciation.
Catholics are required to educate their consciences in light of the Church’s teachings, then, according to Thomas Aquinas, to follow their consciences.
This guy is way off base.
I guess I should have been warned by the title.
I’m going to see if I can get a refund.

Very perceptive about current dystopia
A very valuable read for every Catholic and Protestant. The author well describes today's cultural confusion and the evil devices of today's thought leaders in the church and outside.
