  Aimee Semple McPherson was honored by Time magazine as one of 20th Century's 100 Women of The Year and was one of the most famous women of the 1920s and 1930s. 
  She was greeted by multitudes wherever she arrived and usually presented with the Key to the City. 
  Her meetings packed the largest indoor arenas. 
  And her visits were always deemed a blessing to every town she visited. 
  In this captivating autobiography, Aimee Semple McPherson vividly shares the experiences of her remarkable life from a milk pail on a Canadian farm to a world ministry; from the tragic loss of her husband while they served as missionaries in China, to her famous revivals, such as in Denver, where she drew over 500,000 people and the paralyzed, the blind, the deaf, and those suffering from the worst of maladies were healed through God's miraculous touch. 
  From the wealthy, healthy, and powerful to the downtrodden, invalid, and powerless; whether famous or unknown, role model to all or despised by society, after encountering Aimee Semple McPherson, everyone knew that she loved them—and that God loved them too. 
  This Is That provides the listener with the ultimate insider's view of her ministry and her revivals from small backwoods towns to the largest cities across the United States, Canada, and Australia, culminating with the opening of her famous Angelus Temple in Los Angeles and her ministry there which touched the lives of so many thousands of people. 
  After listening to This Is That, you may just find that her life has touched you too. 
  This Is That: The 1923 Autobiography of Aimee Semple McPherson is published by the Echo Park Evangelistic Association, the same organization she formed and through which she ministered. 
  Note: This audiobook contains only her autobiography and does not include her collected sermons and writings which are published in written form separately.

  After the collapse of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s, the timing appeared perfect to bring Sesame Street to millions of children living in the former Soviet Union. With the Muppets envisioned as ideal ambassadors of Western values, no one anticipated just how challenging and dangerous this would prove to be. 
  In Muppets in Moscow: The Unexpected Crazy True Story of Making Sesame Street in Russia, Natasha Lance Rogoff brings this gripping tale to life. Amid bombings, assassinations, and a military takeover of the production office, Lance Rogoff and the talented Moscow team of artists, writers, musicians, filmmakers, and puppeteers remained determined to bring laughter, learning, and a new way of seeing the world to children in Russia, Ukraine, and across the former Soviet empire. With a sharp wit and compassion for her colleagues, Lance Rogoff observes how cultural clashes colored nearly every aspect of the production—from the show’s educational framework to writing comedy to the new Russian Muppets themselves—despite the team’s common goal. 
  Brimming with insight and nuance, Muppets in Moscow skillfully explores the post-Soviet societal tensions that continue to thwart the Russian people’s efforts to create a better future for their country. More than just a story of a children’s show, this book provides a valuable perspective of Russia’s people, their culture, and their complicated relationship with the West that remains relevant even today.

  When he woke up in jail in Fairfax County, Virginia, in 2015, Tim Murtaugh had no way of knowing he'd be a senior leader on the reelection campaign for the president of the United States less than four years later. 
   
   
   
  What began as a form of high school amusement quickly became an addiction, which over decades would lead Murtaugh to the edge of ruin. Able to beat the disease of alcoholism only under the threat of losing everything, and with the support of a loving wife and family, Murtaugh managed to recover, revive his career, and make it to the top of the political world. 
   
   
   
  Travel along on the 2020 Trump campaign as Murtaugh shares stories—never published before—from his two years as communications director, navigating a hostile media, the COVID-19 pandemic, highly anticipated debates, Election Day 2020, January 6, and life on the most-watched political campaign in world history. 
   
   
   
  Swing Hard in Case You Hit It is a redemption story unlike any other—from being on the verge of complete self-destruction to flying on Air Force One with President Donald J. Trump—that doesn't come with a happy Hollywood ending.
