  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.

  Vietnam Combat - Firefights and...

  The year 1968 was arguably the most significant year of the war. It was the height of the American involvement, and because officer casualties had been so great after the Tet Offensive of January 1968, all prior officer assignments were canceled. 
   
   
   
  1st Lieutenant Robin Bartlett suddenly found himself at the "repo-depo" in Bien Hoa reassigned to the 1st Cavalry Division. The unit had more helicopter support than any other unit in Vietnam. Immediate support from artillery, helicopter gunships, and ARA was only minutes away to support a firefight. Wounded troops could be medevaced even in dense jungle using "jungle penetrators." It also meant that Bartlett's platoon could deploy through helicopter combat assaults into hot LZs (landing zones) at a moment's notice if an enemy force had been spotted. And they did. 
   
   
   
  It was with extreme anxiety that Bartlett made his way to join his battalion and company—it was the worst of times to be a platoon leader in Vietnam. Bartlett also had to cope with personal issues of commitment to a war that was rapidly losing support not only back home but among the soldiers he was leading. Fifty years later, Bartlett's vivid combat experiences are brought to light in a fast-moving, well-written, first-person narrative expressing the horror, fear, anguish, and sometimes illogical humor of that war.

  Alexander Kuprin was born in Narovchat, Penza in Russia on 7th September 1870. 
  At 3 his Father died and he and mother moved to Moscow. By 10 he was enrolled at the Second Moscow Military High School and there his interest in literature began. The Alexander Military Academy followed and two years later he was a sub-lieutenant and posted to an Infantry Regiment for a further four years. 
  Despite his duties he was a now a keen writer and published his first short story at this time. His military duties also garnered him experiences for his breakthrough work ‘The Duel’.  Leaving the military he left for Kiev to work for local newspapers.  He continued to publish both stories and novels and by 1901 he was in St Petersburg becoming part of a group that included Chekhov, Ivan Bunin, Maxim Gorky and Leonid Andreyev.  
  In the years that followed further controversial works and acclaim followed.  His comments on the regime meant he was also put under secret police surveillance.   
  As World War I erupted, Kuprin opened a military hospital but was then given command of an infantry company in Finland. He was soon discharged on grounds of ill health.  
  The October Revolution saw him praise Lenin, but he warned that the Bolsheviks threatened Russian culture and might cause further widespread suffering to the peasants.  As Civil War raged he took his family to Helsinki and then on to Paris. 
  Exile saw his talents decline further and his succumbing to alcoholism. He became lonely and withdrawn. The family's poverty increased his malaise.   
  In May 1937, the Kuprin’s returned to Moscow.  He now saw his work published but wrote almost nothing new.  In 1938 his health rapidly deteriorated.  Already suffering from a kidney problems and sclerosis, he had now developed cancer of the oesophagus.  
  Alexander Kuprin died on 25th August 1938.

You won't get the better of me." flashed through my mind as I reached out to grab the weapon . . .'
