  For years, Douglas Stuart's Old Testament Exegesis has been one of the most popular ways to learn how to perform exegesis—the science and art of interpreting biblical texts properly for understanding as well as proclamation. This new edition includes a major revision and updates past editions by including a helpful configuration of the format for the exegesis process. Stuart provides guidance for full exegesis as well as for a quicker approach specifically tailored to the task of preaching. A glossary of terms explains the sometimes-bewildering language of biblical scholarship, and a list of frequent errors guides the student in avoiding common mistakes. No exegetical guide for the Old Testament has been more widely used in training ministers and students to be faithful, careful interpreters of Scripture.

  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.

  "A raw, riveting look into the hidden frontlines of the Iraq War and an indispensable first-person account of the secret lives of the mercenaries and contractors who fought and died overseas … Rice does something few have attempted, taking us on an emotional journey that is at once unsettling and revelatory. Excellent." – Mark Boal, Oscar-winning screenwriter and producer of The Hurt Locker and Zero Dark Thirty
  "A riveting tale of a brotherhood of warriors and their descent into hell. Visceral, brutal, raw and very real, We Were Blackwater is a rollercoaster ride of combat on the frontline of death and bloodshed. Unputdownable. Unforgettable. The untold true story." – Damien Lewis, author of SAS Ghost Patrol and Churchill's Secret Warriors
  "We Were Blackwater puts your boots right on the ground – in a place you'd never want to be, except in the safety of a book. Barrie Rice is a natural storyteller: clear-eyed, funny, wise, honest and humble. Reading this book feels like making a new friend. Fresh and exhilarating." – Hugo Lindgren, former editor of the New York Times Magazine

  The aftermath of the 2003 Iraq invasion is a story that has yet to be told by those who fought their own war against a brutal insurgency: the private security contractors. Risking life and limb, often side by side with the US military but far more exposed, they were never to receive a hero's homecoming. They remained in the shadows, often with good cause, but that would change for ever on 31 March 2004, when a security convoy was ambushed in Fallujah and the charred bodies of two American operators were strung from a road bridge. Those events would ensure notoriety for the company involved: Blackwater.
  This is the untold story of the security industry and its private war, recounted by a man who witnessed it first hand: SAS veteran and New Zealand national Barrie Rice. His visceral, no-holds-barred account of his time with Blackwater is brought to life in scenes that lead to a reckoning with both the war and himself. This gripping account delivers a compelling slice of reality – the inside story of the private contractor's war.
