Insightful and thought provoking, Karin Miller’s work provides a brand new, values-based framework aimed at transforming lives across the globe.
Recognizing that the world is in crisis, Miller addresses the things we fear most—war, terrorism, economic instability, poverty, crime, unemployment, and environmental concerns—and takes a more holistic approach to healing not only the planet, but who we are as a people.
Pinpointing key problems in our social structure, such as individualism and isolationism, Miller deftly crafts a set of values that become essential, common ground principles that serve for people of all different religions, cultures, and political viewpoints.
These Global Values—unity, community, life, freedom, connection, sustainability, creativity, empowerment, choice, and integrity—can work to create and sustain healthy lives, communities, and countries.
If you’re ready to make a change, both personally and globally, get this book today and learn how to incorporate these values into your life by taking part in a values-based revolution of social transformation.

It started with a piece of paper—-a birth certificate, sent to the author’s parents long after her birth. There is much history in that piece of paper. For she was born to an unwed mother in the generation prior to Roe v. Wade, on a warm day in August—a small, painful beginning in which she had been an unwilling participant, yet one that would shape her destiny. She is adopted into a loving home with another child that would become her beloved brother. She finds herself pregnant; she’s a teen and a college student, abandoned at the news. The options are obvious, but there is only one decision she could make: to give her child up to a family praying for one, and walking away. Saving Grace is more than a story of adoption. It’s a deep look into family—at hope and faith and why we end our days surrounded by souls that may not bear our name or share our blood, but who are our true family.

Told chronologically, HOAX begins with the first documented announcement of the end of the world in 2800 BC and winds its way through controversial tales such as the Loch Ness Monster and the Shroud of Turin, past proven fakes such as the Thomas Jefferson's ancient wine and the Davenport Tablets built by a lost race, and explores bald-faced lies in the worlds of art, science, literature, journalism, and finance.
