The Lotus Cross An adventure mystery full of intrigue, suspense, danger and lost historical inquiry. The Lotus Cross is a thriller pitting personal gain against the promise of redemption. The Novel For over a thousand years, history has kept secret the Lotus Cross, an artifact with blood traces of the risen Christ hidden within it. Now that its existence has been confirmed, many will do anything to have it. In this adventure mystery, a manuscript is discovered which describes the existence of the Lotus Cross and describes its clandestine history. Its origins lie in Doubting Thomas, the only apostle to touch the risen Christ's wounds and the only early follower to spread the faith to India. On the subcontinent, Thomas forged the Lotus Cross, a vessel to contain the preserved blood of Christ. The cross was fashioned upon a base shaped like a lotus flower. It was taken to China centuries later and eventually hidden to protect its precious contents from those who persecuted the Christian faith. The Lotus Cross would remain lost for over a thousand years until the manuscript discovery. In an age of advanced scientific techniques, the blood-flecked pouch within the Lotus Cross could yield the key to the second coming of Christ. Professor Michael Drake sets off to find the religious artifact. With the help of other archaeologists, the British Secret Service and members of a secret Christian group, he uncovers the secret within the Lotus Cross, but not without great risk. An adventure mystery full of intrigue, suspense, danger and historical inquiry, the novel is a thriller pitting personal gain against the promise of redemption.

“America’s greenest CEO” and the hero from the award-winning documentary The Corporation makes the urgent, compelling case that sustainable business pays. His story is now legend. In 1994, after reading The Ecology of Commerce by Paul Hawken, Ray Anderson felt a “spear in the chest”: the founder of Interface, Inc., a billion-dollar carpeting manufacturer, realized that his company was plundering the environment and he needed to steer it on a new course. Since then, Interface has cut its greenhouse gas emissions by 82%, and the goal is to reach zero environmental footprint by 2020. Thoughtful and winning, Confessions of a Radical Industrialist shows how Anderson revolutionized his company, in the process bringing costs down, improving quality, making it one of Fortune’s “100 Best Companies to Work For” — and driving up profits. *The publisher has aimed for sustainability in all aspects of this book’s production, from the inks and glues to the trim size. The interior paper is 100% post-consumer recycled, certified by the Forest Stewardship Council, and ancient-forest friendly. Instead of a jacket, the cover boards are wrapped in 100% recycled paper stock coated in a biodegradable varnish – and these are just two examples among many.
